Producers of Wrestlemania matches. The producer list is as follows: Sasha Banks vs. Bianca Belair – TJ Wilson Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre – Jamie Noble and Jason Jordan. The Miz and John Morrison vs. Damian Priest and Bad Bunny – Adam Pearce Cesaro vs. Seth Rollins – Shane Helms. The New Day vs. AJ Styles and Omos – Chris Park. Tag Team Turmoil Match – TJ Wilson and Pat Buck. Braun Strowman vs. Shane McMahon – Michael Hayes. Roman Reigns vs. Edge vs. Daniel Bryan – Michael Hayes. Asuka vs. Rhea Ripley – TJ Wilson. Randy Orton vs. The Fiend – Jamie Noble. Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn – Unknown Big E vs. Apollo Crews – Jason Jordan. Matt Riddle vs. Sheamus – Chris Park. Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax vs. Natalya and Tamina – TJ Wilson and Pat Buck. I'm not sure what conclusions to draw from this.

Man. Was Rhea always this bad? I remember thinking Rhea/Charlotte last year was greatLid posted:TJ Wilson is a land of contrasts. It wasn't his idea for that women's tag match to go 30 minutes or whatever it was. (At least, I hope not!)

Rhea has never really been bad. Even when she was green she was okay. So not sure what's up with the last couple of matches. Maybe she and Asuka just have zero chemistry, which happens.

Asuka botched a few things and they weren’t totally on the same page but it wasn’t that bad for a match on Raw

Sometimes two great wrestlers just don't have chemistry. I remember Styles and Owens had like a 3 PPV program and not one of them was above ok.

I didn't watch Raw and I thought the WrestleMania match loving stunk, but I'm not gonna hold too much against Rhea or Asuka for a match that was gonna end with HEEEEERE'S CHARLOTTE anyway not being that good.SonicRulez posted:Sometimes two great wrestlers just don't have chemistry. I remember Styles and Owens had like a 3 PPV program and not one of them was above ok. The first one had a meh countout finish right when it was getting going, the second one ended in some incredibly bizarre botch, the blowoff at SummerSlam was pretty good except for all the Shane stuff. They had a fun TV triple threat with Jericho that I think goes down as Jericho's very last WWE match.

watching Raw here, MVP comes out to introduce Lashley (who never ended up coming out). Drew interrupts MVP, then Strowman interrupts Drew, then Randy Orton interrupts Strowman. I shouted "what the hell is going on" a second before MVP did. Then Adam Pearse interrupts. Hilarious.

Second to last. He later showed up (amusingly overweight from the Fozzy tour) in the Greatest Royal Rumble.

Lid posted:See Braun was infamously terrible in the ring and the fans didn't warm to himn at all, then he became BRAUN and a ridiculous caricature and suddenly he got beloved with I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU. The thing is, Braun never really stopped being bad--the promos and a lot of the matchwork still show it--it's that it didn't matter, because for once, the WWE did the thing you're supposed to do with everyone and booked him to emphasize his strengths and cover his weaknesses. He didn't have to be a great talker because he rarely spoke outside of catchphrases and yelling, he didn't have to be a great wrestler because he mostly just fuckin' crushed people, and shockingly, when your booking for someone is 'this angry person is bigger and stronger than everyone,' over time the audience will generally get into it because an angry strong dude who throws people around like bags of flour is awesome and one of the elemental centers of wrestling. But then, as you say, Roman Reigns, and Brock Lesnar, and then they got bored, so now he's a big strong wrecking machine who also can get beat up by Shane McMahon. I didn't even particularly like Braun at the time and I still thought they should've put him front and center, because it was the ultra-rare case of them doing a whole thing right and in a way the fans liked, and it was really, really obvious.

They booked the cage match ok for the most part. Shane's crew attacks his knee with chairs, Shane focuses entirely on the knee, but any time Braun gets ahold of him he just destroys Shane. Except for the portion of the match where Braun had to sell Shane's punches Also the whole "this is for everyone who's been called stupid" thing was terrible and just a rehash of the Nia/Alexa bullying feud

He's done podcasts at ESPN and a movie podcast once he was let go from ESPN. Podcasting is not the same as Broadcasting but...he does have some experience in talking/carrying a conversation for a mass audience.

I actually like those segments. Its so rare that WWE books their title pictures as competitive fields. In theory I like the idea of the champ coming out fresh off a victory and having a bunch of people some looking for a shot at the belt. Most of the time WWE title pictures are just a line you wait on until the guy in front is done. Although didn't Drew lose clean? He shouldn't be one of them. gently caress off.

Most of the time WWE title pictures are just a line you wait on until the guy in front is done. Except this is a regular thing that they do. And when the people in the #1 contender match lose they just gently caress off and do something else, immediately forgetting about the title. Like what are Orton or Braun going to do for the next month? Just out of feuds that don’t seem to be continuing. Will they continue to be a threat for the title? Probably not. We will get a month build to a rematch.
