Ambrose and Harper should have a rivalry based on who is the greasiest, tank toppiest dude in the WWE. Filled with Extreme Rules matches.

SamuraiFoochs posted:But, but...RAW WAS BAD The Network is a great value, but in 6 months I've watched almost all the archived stuff I'm interested in and my interest in WWE's current product is the lowest it's been since I've gotten back into watching. So when my Network subscription is up next month I'm just going to let it lapse. I'm not canceling because of spite over LOLCENAWINS! or anything dumb like that, I just don't really care and if I don't care I don't see why I should continue to subscribe no matter how good a value it is.

I want to change Foochs' avatar to that Nine Ninety Nine wwe logo with "corporate cheerleader" or "positivity patrol captain" in big red letters but Vince has my $10. I mean the network's worth it for me because I want a steady dependable stream for the ppvs and it's done well. A stutter or two I'm not gonna bitch about for the price. But I can totally see why somebody wouldn't want to renew regardless of "cool pirating" or whatever the hell.

Cromulent posted:If I absolutely loathe the weekly storylines, and most of my favorite people to watch aren't around or being used horribly, why would I want to pay any amount to see the PPV? I turned off Raw three times in the past month. Since I started regularly watching again in late 2012, I had only turned off Raw once. Implying that people not renewing their subs are trying to be "cool pirates" or a contrarian is ridiculous. Because good matches are cool? And assuming Dean is among your favorite people, he'll be back within a few weeks? And the only reason I brought up the pirating thing is I see a lot of people online bringing it up (even once here last night, though it may have been a jokey joke, who knows) and it annoys me when there's an incredibly affordable, legal option available and SOME, not all but some people seem to take pride in it just because they're not giving Vince money. Like I'm not gonna tell anyone what to enjoy or what to spend money on but at the same time if you bother to follow the product, even if you're not crazy about the TV right now, spending $10 a month to get the monthlu PPVs, a massive on demand library, and cool stuff like NXT seems like a pretty safe bet to me. It wouldn't annoy me as much if we didn't get people doing it every single week. Then again I could take my own advice and stop arguing with people about it so whatever.

Anyway I guess I'm just irritable because a bad Raw is bad enough but when it's combined with "God why would anyone possibly pay for the Network?" or "I'm canceling my subscription SO HARD. Vince flex dot gif" it just compounds everything and makes me a little cranky. Sorry everyone.

To be fair if you look at the past few tag teams break ups it's pretty easy to see that Rowan will be getting the push  Titus, Cameron, Brodus Clay, Cesaro (  Swagger came out looking better), add Rowan and you've got a solid stable there.

That and the commentary has started putting Rowan over as "Look how big and strong and crazy this guy is!" while they've started putting Harper over as "Look at this guy's dirty shirt, haw haw".

(and that was totally a joke not heat drat it foochs) The bit about heat was also a joke  And I only care because if some people here enjoy WWE (I will not say wrestling since legitimately cool poo poo like PWG, NJPW, etc. also exists) you could've fooled me, because it seems to me like certain people only post about what they hate. I don't wanna get all  about poo poo nobody cares about any more than I already have but basically wrestling is my happy place and even when it sucks I try to find bright spots and I guess I just wish more people did that too. Fair enough? :shobon;Also the Highlight Reel is a pox on wrestling and needs to go away, so we agree there. OldTennisCourt posted:I'm working under the assumption that Foochs is HHH. I wish. That'd be pretty cool.

Ambrose is gone, Harper is slowly being killed, the tag scene is basically a 3 frame GIF, the world title is about to be subjected to the greatest rapadoo of all time, I guess Henry/Rusev is like the only thing in current WWE I care at all about. Wrestling is not fun or awesome.

On the positive side, I still think WWE is sitting on the next Stone Cold Steve Austin with Ambrose. On the negative side, I don't think they *want* another Stone Cold Steve Austin at this point because that's too organic for modern day WWE.

I dunno, normally I'd agree but the way they wrote off Ambrose was pretty encouraging to me. We'll see what happens but I think all three former Shield dudes will be fine. It's the rest of the roster I'm worried about.

I hope Ambrose stays away and leaves the good memories we have alone because as a rising face he can only become Brutus Beefcake. Cena, like the great and terrible tyrannosaur he is will soon see him, and the iron jaws marked Cena's Lil Buddy will close around his push forever. Oh well, at least he'll be better off than Bryan, who ended up Big Show's Lil Buddy.

Watching old Nitros makes me long for the days of big angles happening whenever they feel like it on the show, lower card guys being allowed to go out there and get themselves over, and interviews where the guys with the mic were allowed to be natural even though it often led to some horrible stuff. Everything in the WWE is way too scripted and phony these days, with the guys backstage standing and talking to each other at 60 degree angles, every top of the hour having a 20 minute promo session or midcard match we've seen 1000 times, and everyone sounding exactly the same since they are all forced to read scripts that don't allow for any depth of character. I feel like I can tune into the first 10 minutes, 5 minutes at 9, 5 minutes at 10 and the main event and see anything worthwhile which is pretty bad for a 3 hour weekly show.

The really lovely part is you do have plenty of guys that have the charisma and talent to get themselves over and do awesome promo work on the mic, but it all gets relegated to the app or WWE.com or the YouTube channel or whatever. And we get stuck with like five Bellas segments on the main show.

My Supercard game stopped letting me log in via Gamecenter for no apparent reason and I haven't been able to play for a few days. I can't tell if I'm happy or sad about it. My best card is a Big John Stud followed by a Damien Sandow and I'm okay with both of these things.

Jastiger posted:I still say new. Her entire intro video is glamour shots of her. No matches. No action. One thing nobody's really mentioned is how hilarious the 3-woman team of Eva/Rosa/Cameron was. The reason it's funny is because the three of them are clearly the worst workers on the roster who know the least about wrestling, and throwing them together HAS to be deliberate. All three know fewer wrestling moves combined than anyone vying for the Divas title. Cameron literally knew nothing about wrestling as recently as 2011, Eva Marie was hired specifically for Total Divas and skipped developmental, and I don't know what Rosa's excuse is but she's never been able to competently work a match in her 8 years with the company. The three of them should be valets and leave the actual wrestling to talented women. Also: quote:Sincaro  He's on NXT now, as well as the occasional Superstars or Smackdown. You should really watch NXT if you have the means. It's not always great because it's developmental, but they've been farming indie leagues and international circuits lately for new prospects (KENTA, Devitt, Steen, Kalisto, Becky Lynch, Sami Zayn) and the current product has some great stuff on it. Sin Cara right now is tagging with Kalisto, who is Samuray Del Sol from Dragon Gate, and he's amazing to watch. He's what the original Sin Cara was supposed to be, basically. On that note, if you didn't know, Sin Cara was replaced by another guy (Hunico) because the original guy (Mistico) was an injury-prone botch machine with a bad attitude backstage. Hunico's alright, not as good of a high flier, but he's a solid worker. Hunico actually debuted as another Sin Cara and feuded with the original over the mask/name, but he lost the feud and was wrestling unmasked for a while before they quietly replaced Mistico with him. Mistico now can't use the name Mistico OR Sin Cara anymore, so now he's "Myzteziz" or something like that with a lot of Z's in it.
