So much attention to detail put into those notes on pointless stuff.
If only they could put that kind of attention to detail into booking. |
Having to read the website all week seems horrible. Shouldn't they already be aware of the storylines and the aspects of the wrestlers?

Out of boredom, I was searching online for T-shirts and I came across this site.
http://www.tillys.com/intl/Men-Colle...x-WWE/_/N-9a0# Apparently, some company called Rook has a partnership with WWE to sell T-shirts with wrestlers on them. Well, at least I hope they do and it isn't some sort of illegal thing. |
Just finished watching this week's Raw and skipped the majority of it.
All I really watched was Heyman's promo, Lesnar destroying the car, The Lucha Dragons vs The New Day and Cena vs Cesaro. |

Watching wrestling doesn't really seem like a histper thing to do.
Unless they only watch some unknown promotions or possibly backyard wrestling. |

he can't stand the concept of raw using promos and vignettes to build toward PPVs. age old concept dumbfuck. hes tired of guys so the wwe should just listen to him and focus on the favorites he likes. any asshat who thinks a brand split was a good concept is not necessarily a hipster but sure is a jackoff. his entitled fanboy shit comes off as pompous and hipster, "oooh bray wyatt is so yesterday cause I liked him before he was mainstream"
|
The brand split was a good concept.
|
Yeah. People definitely hate Bray Wyatt because he's mainstream.

The only reason I would be against a Vince McMahon reality show is that the moment he realized people wanted to see him be out of touch and batshit crazy, he would ruin it by becoming self-aware and actually TRYING to be funny. It's what he does. It's part of his out-of-touch ways. Catch 22.
"Why are you airing me talking about Asian porn with JR? That's not funny. I got this machine that makes fart sounds. It's Goddamn hilarious. Turn the camera on now." |
They should do an hour long special episode of SWERVED where they just fuck with Vince. Let Ryder and other jobbers do the show.

Anyway, more serious now and I know you don't completely know what I'm talking about as that post was a condensed version of my original essay one, which for some reason, imploded in on itself when I attempted to post it. When I mentioned the 15/20 minute promos on Raw, what I was referring to was the opening promos. In my original essay post, I mentioned that I've noticed that since WrestleMania, around 85% of opening promos have been around 15/20 minutes long and have always involved the same people. Triple H, Rollins, Kane and at first, Big Show. Basically, They've all involved The Authority, and they've always pretty much said the same thing, week in week out. Even now, there's no real change with Rollins' promos. He's still cutting promos about how he's great and that he's WWE Champion and isn't scared of anyone. I know he's the heel and that's basic heel promos but he's been spitting the same lines now for almost four months. Other heel champions have by now, mixed it up and added new things to there promos and to their character. Rollins hasn't. For me, the WWE aren't really giving me any reasons for me to care about Rollins. With him saying and doing the same thing week in week out, I've grown bored of him. When he grabs a mic, I know what he's going to say. When he's in the ring, I know what he's going to do. When his rival is kicking about, I know what's going to happen. I'm not saying the WWE should listen to me and focus on the guys I like. This is an internet forum, and this concept of mentioning wrestlers you like and wanting the company to focus on them and coming up with ideas for them, is part of the forum "experience", I guess. A lot of people do it, and clearly you've never read a Noid post before. (love you Noid) To take a line from you, it's an age old concept dumbfuck. I can assure you though that I'm no jackoff. The Brand Split has it's fans and if it were to happen again, one of the positives would be a whole bunch of guys getting time to wrestle and for many more characters to be built. Also, I'm sure SmackDown would get more viewers with a Brand Split, as with the Brand Split, most people wouldn't feel like they're watching a 90 minute recap of Raw. I don't know about you, but I really don't want to watch the same handful of wrestlers that I'm not interested in for three hours every week. Also, for the record, I've never really been a fan of Bray Wyatt. The character was a good idea but to me, it got old, fast. |

Luke Harper is easily one of my favorite workers in WWE. He has better matches than Bray, too. Harper vs. Undertaker may have actually been interesting.
|
Unrelated, but I'm watching ROH from a couple weeks ago, and I feel compelled to say that Bad Influence/The Addiction are a really underrated tag team. Amazing chemistry.
|
Couldn't stand Kazarian on his own, but I buy him as part of this team.

WCW gave everybody pyro, but their pyro always looked cheap compared to WWE's during the Attitude Era. It's like WWE upgraded their pyro while WCW kept using pyro that they used in the early 90s. Alex Wright got pyro FFS.
|
WCW's pyros always reminded me of sparklers.
Or the cheapest of cheap fireworks. |
WWE's pyro = 4th of July Fireworks in Washington DC
WCW's pyro= Rednecks shooting off $2000 work of firworks out by their pond. |
Quote:
Thinking about it now, Harper vs Undertaker would have been something I'd like to have seen. |
WWE's use of pyro makes sense. Edge and Batista had rock entrances with loud and fast booms and bangs. Ric Flair's WM24 pyro was graceful and awe-inspiring. They don't over-do it (except for Batista) and it seems special. I always love watching the WM pyro opening for its own appeal, and am disappointed when they don't do a pyro open.
|
For example, the pyro going off at the end of WM31 made Seth Rollins' moment even more memorable. Imagine his celebration at the end without the scene of all the pyro going off. It just wouldn't have been as memorable.

That was awesome. Think about how awesome of a heel you have to be to get people to boo pyro. |
That JBL entrance is hilarious.

Kinda touching on two themes mentioned in the last page of posts or so;
What exactly are they doing with Harper and Rowan now they've put them back together? They haven't been on Raw the last few weeks, right? I totally understand CK's frustration with the product, but I'm a Brand Split fan/jackoff. |
Last I heard, Rowan tore his bicep, so Harper & Rowan are on hold at the moment.
|
Rowan got injured... Don't remember how long he is out for....
|
Right, ok. Still, I could point out a dozen guys they could do something with but chose not too.
|
Rowan sucks a little bit anyway. Can't they just let Harper run solo again?
|
I really thought they were building to Harper/Rowan vs The Dudley Boyz for SS or something. Kinda bummed Rowan is hurt. They make a great tag team tbh. They should have went over the Uso's when they had that epic 3 month feud.
|
They did have some really great matches with the Usos. I kinda feel bad for that Rowan sucks comment now, because he's at least capable of being in some really good matches.
|
rowan is great in a tag team, but i don't see him being able to have a solid singles run. it's too bad he got injured, because harper & rowan would be a great team for a face/underdog team to take the titles off of and look like a million bucks.

I have no issue with his character. He was fun. Watching most of his matches was like drinking doo doo water, though.
|
JBL was an awesome heel. Was made WWE champ a bit too quick though.
|
The kinda short length of his run is the only thing keeping me from proclaiming JBL as one of the greatest heels ever. He was fucking amazing.
|
I think his best work was as Justin Hawk Bradshaw.
|
He's by far my favourite wrestler of all time
|
Would have liked to see a feud with him and Hassan even though they were both heels.

GERTNER. Check out Heath Slater's new high flying Tron:

Good job spoiling Owens/Cena there Regal. No way Owens is back on NXT fighting for the title if he wins the US title. So I guess we all know Cena will walk out with the strap.

That theme didn't fit cocky young heel Orton at all.

*screaming rock*

Does GFW have a TV deal? I assume they must if they are doing TV tapings.... don't remember hearing anything about it....

Between WWE getting a poor new tv deal and TNA's own screw ups with the networks, going to be a lot harder for GFW to get anything decent. ROH lucked out that their parent company has its own tv network so every new deal just adds more exposure and money to what they already have. |

I'm surprised the truck actually cut to her (and I believe originally pixellated it), but then again, this was still at a time where if a fan rushed the ring, they didn't point cameras to the sky or any other nonsense shot to not show it, and we'd see security or wrestlers or even refs blast the jackass before carting them away off-camera. |

a green as grass Scott Hall and Dan Spivey make their debut as American Starship.
Hall was known as Coyote. Spivey was known as Eagle. don't ask me what the hell an American Starship is or what their gimmick was. announcer David Crockett as usual gushes over them like some teenaged girl. the smoke and Prince's Let's Go Crazy is about all they had going for them. <iframe width="480" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DJAJYMaTdQw?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
El Rey Network wants at least 40 episodes for the next season of Lucha Underground although biggest issue right now is production costs since the promotion is spending too much on that without getting much in return. Likely need another company/group to get involved to help cover the gap.
Merchandise sales and the time its taking them to get it available has been their biggest disappointment so far. Quote:

I've really got no clue where they are going with SummerSlam. I was thinking they might have Seth Rollins scamper out of Battleground with the World Title and have Lesnar and Reigns challenge him at SummerSlam in the true form of the WrestleMania Triple Threat. Triple H could then face Dean Ambrose, John Cena and Kevin Owens could have a US Title classic and Bray Wyatt could be left to tango with Randy Orton. But none of that seems to be the cards anymore.
Everyone seems to be so certain that Owens is winning the US Title at Battleground. I used to be among those people. But thinking about it, maybe it would be best for Cena to retain the US Title at Battleground, sending Owens into a mad frenzy to prove himself? If you want someone outside The Authority to cost Brock Lesnar the World Title at Battleground, Owens seems like the best bet. That would leave Cena to continue his awesome US Title Open Challenges. I dunno. |
Noid, you've probably put more thought into it that WWE have.
|
I do enjoy Cena's US Open Challenge, so I'm all for that continuing.
Also, Owens costing Lesnar which then leads to Lesnar vs Owens sounds good too. Just to see Owens get his ass handed to him by Lesnar. :p |
Rather have Owens win and continue building up the US title that started in a way with Sheamus. Whoever takes it from Owens in the future gets to be the one that the division revolves around as its top star.
Owens can act all smug like he did in NXT by claiming Cena didn't earn the right for a rematch which leads to Cena "proving" he does by continuing his Challenge series. Ceasaro takes over for the short term feud against Owens while Cena-Owens IV match gets spaced out a bit more. |
Balor should win the U.S. title from Owens in his main roster debut.
Owens-Cena 4 needs to happen at WM I think. |
Quote:
The idea of Cena keeping the challenge going without the US Title is a mint idea though. Cena could even lose every now and then, and wouldn't actually lose anything. Owens could beat Cena and then make him jump through hoops to get the SummerSlam rematch. Maybe a stipulation that if Cena loses, he'll never get a US Title shot again? I dunno. Something like that sounds like a selling ticket to the average fan. Cena wins that match and then you have Owens putting the same stip on a Night of Champions rematch. Owens wins that and then you have them fight over the US Title inside Hell in a Cell. That bridges the feud out for a long time though. The spacing idea might be better. |
