I want to see Alicia Fox shine but I can't bring myself to watch Raw or Smackdown.

MassRafTer posted:They don't even have to drastically scale back the concept of it to make it more financially viable. They are blowing money on programming that realistically means nothing to the Network's bottom line. I don't think they'll add anything to their bottom line by airing a new season of Tough Enough yet, hey, they are for some reason. I'd say great but I doubt it will have Austin on it. MassRafTer posted:It feels weird to me to think a Raw even aired tonight. I watched most of the show and it made no impression on me.

Lawler looked legit pissed that Fox had taken his crown. There was something happening off-camera after she poured the soda and King was murdering her with his eyes. And, not in a "puppies!" kind of way.

Caught up on the show, that German Suplex by Cesaro on Sheamus was loving incredible.

The Russo-esque shades of gray by every character and the absence of Daniel Bryan have completely obliterated any interest or enthusiasm I had about WWE, and I was really enthused after WM30. One week Cesaro is shaking hands, the next week he isn't, one week Sheamus is stealing titles and being a prick and the next week he's being a good sport and shaking hands. No one has any idea what they're doing or where it's going. Shield/Evolution and Barrett are the only bright spots in this poo poo period. Didn't think much of the crowd last night either, I appreciated Paul Heyman ripping on the audience for hijacking the show and trying to get themselves over. If you're going to chant stupid poo poo like JBL and Jerry because you're bored, do it during a drat Santino match and not when Cesaro and Sheamus are hossing out on each other and putting on a good show.

Agreed. The product is very stale right now. Between that and a very busy summer, I'm thinking of putting wrasslin' on the backburner until Summerslam.

Missed Raw but from the results it sounds like Bad News Barrett had a good night so I'm gonna chalk it up as a good Raw

I fell asleep until the ending but I'm going to assume the dream I had where Bray Wyatt stabbed John Cena with a bunch of forks was better than the real show.

It seems like only one Diva on the roster can have a personality. I guess with AJ gone it is Alicia Fox's turn.

Alicia spent about twice as long on the barricade than was shown, and dropped the crown like half a dozen times. I can only assume Lawler was pissed it kept getting dropped from that high onto the floor and into the crowd.

Haven't watched WWE for a while, decided I wanted to get back in. I think I picked a poor show for re-entry.

Much like "TNA stupid" or "WCW stupid", the phrase "Russo-esque" should be used very carefully. Now let me preface this by saying pretty much the only things keeping me watching while Bryan's gone are the still generally good matches, the amount that I love The Shield, the fact that I get every PPV now thanks to the Network, and force of habit. I agree that the set of storylines they have right now kind of sucks except Shield/Evolution (and I can see why some people might be bored with that). Having said all that, I genuinely think they planned to turn Sheamus heel, then paused due to the Bryan injury. Makes sense. Cesaro is clearly a heel, but they're having him do things to plant seeds of him turning on Heyman. Also makes sense. Nothing Russo would do would follow any sort of logic.

Russo-esque in regards to alignments needs to be reserved, not for shades of grey booking, but for when a guy clearly switches heel/face/heel/face/heel over the course of 4 months.

Is there a separate thread for discussing that Vince just lost $350,000,000 in a day? Because that poo poo has broken through to the mainstream media.

There's pretty much no wrestling commentary I can tolerate at this point. The last 5-6 wrestling things I've watched on TV/streaming, including ROH, have been consumed in blissful silence.

Personal net worth is by and large a really silly concept used by dumb people trying to rank who is "richer", and Vince has the same amount of money he did before the stock price fell (from its previously inflated value). He's not selling his shares in the company, and if he ever did it would be to another corporate entity for a negotiated price that would not be equal to the closing price of the shares at the time of the sale.

I mean, the share price is still up like 17% YTD and the dividend has remained constant. There's all this "Vince McMahon lost $350 million in a week!" schadenfreude nonsense, but at the same time there at the height of the bubble there weren't any articles claiming he 'made' $500 million in the preceding year, and for good reason.

As a fellow English person, I can honestly say I've never met a Bulgarian I've liked. Probably because I've never met a Bulgarian... Most of us love Uncle Bulgaria though, so I'd say the national predisposition to Bulgaria is positive. e: typo Josuke Higashikata fucked around with this message at 17:30 on May 20, 2014 |
