His theme sounds a lot like Stone Cold's too and it has a very similar structure.

His new theme is great. The exact opposite of Rowan and Harper's new theme.

It sounds like his heel theme they used when they wanted people to stop cheering for him and it works, in that regard.

I agree. Dean's theme is pretty rad. I'm happy he's over as a face and his segment ruled. Just wished he slowed down a tad bit when delivering his promo. And Seth's rebuttal to have Ambrose in the MITB was pretty smart IMO.

Agreed, and Steph got embarrassed which is always great.


Deadpool posted:

Her going down like that was possibly the Vince-est thing I've ever seen her do. It was pretty great.


Also Dean Ambrose is great and is my favorite wrestler now. Well, after Bo Dallas.

Steph's slow realisation that Vickie had nothing left to lose, and stopping singing as she looked back at the slime pit was one of the best things I seen all time all my life.

But Ambrose's promo for the website might have topped it- if you haven't seen it, go watch it, it's GREAT. I would've said that Wyatt was the best promo they had before the Shield split let him get more mic time than he's had recently. He's like Punk (and Wyatt, really), in that his promos don't sound like homogenised Creative scripting, they're unique, and have an amazing, dangerous energy.

I skipped like 80% of Raw but the parts I watched were great.

Does anyone know if there was a presale code or anything at Smackdown? Calendar only says a house show is up for Puttsburgh, hoping for a Raw or something.

Wow, somebody's losing their job over that one, Christ!

Raw was much less fun without the live thread to be bitter in. I think creative are actively loving with the audience. With such a tiny tag roster, they roll out stardust on RAW, nothing on Smackdown then this week they dangle him in front of us like a drat trinket.

Sorry about all
the bad posting.
I like it. It's simple and menacing. I think it's smart to give the team their own song, and there's a perfectly good reason that they picked that song. Better than another buttrock riff.

I think I like it just because it's something different. I'm sorta surprised to be alone on that, but there it is.

Apparently they've had Adam Rose working dark matches.

They'll feed him to Rusev and we'll never see him on the show again.

If they replace Josh with Renee that's an upgrade in every imaginable way. She did the panel on the NXT show and was great.

I agree with this big time. What are the chances that they'll ever put someone like Renee on commentary?

And when are they going to get rid of Lawler?

I like the IDEA of them having their own creepy music, but this is about the most piss poor way you could possibly execute on that idea.

E: For a minute I honestly thought the Menagerie was on their way out when it started up. Or maybe the return of Cizarny.

They won't get rid of Lawler until the day he dies. And I hope they don't put Renee on commentary because her commentary on NXT is pretty lackluster.

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
I hope Cena doesn't win, but him against Lesnar makes a lot of sense. It's what's best for business.

Lackluster would be a significant step up for commentary.

At least Barrett's gimmick will allow him to continue to have a presence outside of matches, so hopefully he can still get some airtime on the shows and keep getting reactions.

I thought Ziggler`s major concussion was from getting booted in the head by Swagger, was this a separate concussion incident?
