Did they have the crowd mics going during the pre-show when they were introducing the commentators? Michael Cole got booed harder than most of the heels on the show did.

When I started watching again no one cared about him or they hated him. I guess he headlined 'Mania at some point in between there, but that was obviously some sort of mass hysteria. From mid-late 2010 to early 2011, the PSP forum was actually very high on the Miz. Then again, I've heard they were once very high on Randy Orton too. I don't think they were ever high on Del Rio. You also missed him at his best: when he was tag teaming with John Morrison and they were hosting their own web series. But, like a lot of things, it all got fed to the eternal Cena.

Meltzer believes Heyman and Cesaro has been quietly dropped with no angle, no explanation. So there you go, it was a way to keep Lesnar in your mind and that's it.

God, I REALLY hope they put the belt on Brock and he just shows up every ten or so weeks to have a defense and then just vanishes again. It will be hilarious.

At this stage Vince probably hopes Brock wins and goes to MMA events carrying the belts to get attention and validity. Not even having matches, just watching. It'd get more buyrates than his own shows.

Okay, question. People in the Battleground thread kept linking different stuff like this:  I assume they were from some lovely site- is there a link somewhere that I missed?

Shame about Cesaro but if you really thought he was going to the top with his total absence of mic skill and middling physical charisma, well.

the best part of the ppv, btw, is how cole somehow knew how to call a shining wizard. like that's the one non-suplex, non "name pun" wrestling move he's capable of recognizing on the fly.

That show was bad and they should feel bad.Sanguinia posted:I wish they'd space poo poo out to give Mania, Summerslam and Survivor Series an extra week of build each instead of a 3 week build filler show right before the second most important show of the year in terms of storylines. Mania already has 6 weeks and they don't do a great job with it until the last few of those weeks, but I get what you mean. The bigger ones deserve a longer build and axing a couple could help that. I have problems with a few annual PPVs. I think Payback should happen before Extreme Rules and go back to being called Backlash as the "Wrestlemania fallout" PPV, Battleground should go away because it consistently sucks, and Hell in a Cell should go back to being a gimmick people challenge each other to because they hate each other, not because "welp it's HIAC time i fite u".

Is there anyone over the age of 12 not rooting for Brock to beat Cena next month? For almost half the audience, Brock is the face. That's really odd considering that he beat the streak in order to get super heel heat.

The bigger ones deserve a longer build and axing a couple could help that. If any show could use some of the extra build time that axing Battleground would provide it's Survivor Series, that show's been awful for years which is sad because it used to be a Big 4 show for a reason rather than being grandfathered. 100% on board with bringing back Backlash, it was one of my favorites. They should turn Hell in a Cell into Breaking Point, that was a great show. EDIT: quote:Is there anyone over the age of 12 not rooting for Brock to beat Cena next month?

Brock has only been seen once since breaking the streak and he got TONS of heat. And that was the post-Wrestlemania Smarkiest Crowd Of The Year.

It was a good match, but what the gently caress with Paige crying "c'mon AJ!" in frustration over and over. Then, AJ beats her and she cries. I don't get the motivation at all. It's like a real life relationship and I watch this poo poo for escape. You know what I am saying?

I'm pretty sure Paige was mocking their supposed "friendship". Like come on AJ you can do better! even though in reality she hates her cuz women don't get along! That's what I got out of it anyway.

You know what I am saying? that said it had like one week of paige being like "oh yeah we're friends but not but kinda also a title match" so its not like the build was doing them any favors. e: paige wanted a friendship. aj wanted a title. wwe wanted to not give a gently caress. here we are.

I think the Usos might be the best American tag team right now. A lot of people will say the Young Bucks, and their matches have been better but they generally have better opponents. The tag match was basically three guys working around one (although Rowan didn't drag it down.) Even if they aren't the best they are right up there with the Bucks, Bad Influence and reDRagon.

That's really depressing all the face momentum he had from the beginning of the year going into Wrestlemania was just completely squandered with no payoff whatsoever.

That's really odd considering that he beat the streak in order to get super heel heat. If the original plan really was Lesnar ending Bryan's title reign I'd imagine he would've gotten a ton of heat for that. But probably 80% of the Summerslam crowd is going to be in his corner over Cena's which will kind of ruin what they were first aiming for.
