that botch with cesaro was like infinitely bad tho

Yeah but poo poo happens. Matt Sydal is one of the most crisp wrestlers around and dude broke his leg doing a simple dive. Sami zayn was out for 6 months for putting his hands in the air. Like it's wrestling. Botches happen. Maybe I'm easier on botches than most people but seriously you guys get pretty ridiculous on this stuff.

Rotating guys in and out is a thing that it feels like people have been saying forever but logically has zero reason to ever happen because you'd be asking wrestlers to take a significant pay cut.

Maybe they can make them actual employees instead of private contractors then.

Bring it to the table is such a weird show. Like could you imagine if like the MLB or NBA had an official show where they just got on there to talk about how their fans are actually really stupid and they should shut up or not watch. Like what other company could get away with that?

Can we get a passing of the torch promo too? And when that fails can we get it next night at RAW and have all the legends come out to shake Reigns hands and Bruno to fellate him?

You know just to be sure. The true last resort is Reigns vs Coporate Vince year long storyline.

I just wish we had a beloved Indy darling to come out and tell us how Roman is the real star in wwe. Maybe get nakamura to come out and say Roman is the only big dog in wwe.

That mania was really bad. Even the good things were merely fine. No match rose above a middling match. The woman's fatal 4 way was good but ended 10 minutes early. The ladder match was fun but it wasn't anything special. Hardy's wining was real cool though. I actually really liked Brock vs Goldberg because they just said gently caress it and did a 5 minute match where they did nothing but finishers, but is this really the level of mania we're supposed to expect? Isn't this the biggest show of the year? What made it special or different than any other ppv other than some nice gear and pyro.

WMs are overloaded and bad so any one that has more than 4 matches,that don't feel like a waste of time means it's a fine time spend.

The ME sucked but i've been watching great Taker matches to make up for it. First two thirds were solid, last 3rd was snooze worthy. Good 4 hour show. Mediocre 7.5 hour show.

Wrestle kingdom was a 5 hour show and it was loving amazing. Even the lame stuff wasn't dreadful.

I've said it before. Roman is not bad in the ring. He is largely competent and can do what he needs to do. He is however only good at having one wwe style match. He has nothing special or unique about him. He isn't technical, he can't fly, he doesent really do power stuff. He just has basic wwe style matches. I don't think he has the ability to call stuff on the fly and I think that's part of the reason the match was so bad last night. The matches story wasn't there at all. I think the story was that Roman wasn't afraid of taker but I don't really know how that's an interesting story because Roman didn't really do anything to convey that last night other than doing his moves he always does.

okay this is a center of the sun hot take but if the braun/roman match at fastlane is a good roman match its because braun carried him or someone replaced the match with something else on youtube. roman does nothing the whole match, i honestly think you can count the moves he does on two hands

See I thought that match sucked real bad. Neither one of them did much. And the poo poo they did was real sloppy or just didn't really make sense. The psychology in that match was awful. Braun goes to the top turnbuckle for some reason. Roman pretty much no sells going through the announcer table. That match sucked.

HHH/Rollins was pretty good and told a nice story. There was a legit injury to work around so they couldn't just go balls to the wall. Outdoor arenas don't lend themselves to super hot crowds because the sound just dissipates.

I actually don't hate Seth using the Pedigree even now, I just thought this match should've ended differently because symbolism. I wouldn't have expected a full Curb Stomp return, just like, a one off super finisher like Orton's punt, which got used at least once after it was deemed A Bad Thing.


The crowd was legit hot for the end of HHH/Rollins.

According to Meltzer the Raw Bayley main evented had a historic drop off in female viewers. She is only a draw to nerdy old men, who try to justify their love by saying they like that she is a positive role model to young girls or something when there is no evidence that young girls actually like her

Similar to the huge male following for My Little Pony, now that I think about it

How could they legitimately keep track of that?

Bayleychat: She needs to stop looking terrified while she watches her opponents walk to the ring. She shows like 0 confidence despite being champ.

You should want the face to fear the heel. That's part of being a face champ you are in constant danger of having it taken away. That's really good psychology. Roman is trash because he is never afraid of anyone.
