achillesforever6 posted:You know if they continue with having a new GM in charge every week, they have a good opportunity to make Regal GM on the week they are doing NXT Takeover Our Evolution, by having NXT "Takeover" Raw and have matches with NXT and WWE talent. Probably won't though. that's a great idea which is why it won't happen lol. realistically I'd love for any excuse to get Regal back in WWE shows, though. fantastic commentary, can still wrestle dudes. also why the hell hasn't cesaro vs. lesnar been set up, jesus

IllegallySober posted:Surprised the crowd didn't notice that being set-up during the main event though. It's not like it could have been well-hidden unless I missed something. Only the first few rows around that one corner of ringside might have seen it, and even fewer would have recognized it. But I don't follow you here. What was going to happen if the live crowd noticed? Did you think everyone would blow up social media and boo the show out of the building immediately upon seeing a podium at ringside? sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Nov 25, 2014 |

Like I know he's not a face, but as a not-American I wasn't sure how to feel about them bullying him with SAY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE drat IT OR ELSE WE'LL BEAT YOU UP I wonder what that would have looked like if it was 1997 and the Hart Foundation instead of Rusev.

triplexpac posted:Yeah it's weird but I think the Adam Rose storyline is the most interesting thing in the WWE to me right now. It's oddly subtle, like Rose just standing there reaching for the tag for way too long after the match is over. And Rose's posse, including the bunny, just sticking with him even though he's falling apart. Such a weird storyline. I too am enjoying Adam Rose as Slurms McKenzie.

Been steering clear so far because of DA2.

I was in the crowd, on the club level. They brought the podium in during the finish of the match through the corner, under a sheet, and very quickly set it up. Most people did seem to notice it, though the initial reaction was drowned out by the reaction to the match itself. We then gleefully booed Michael Cole as soon as he spoke.

No, not at all- just that the groan from the audience seemed rather pronounced and I would have guessed at least some would have been observant to recognize the setup. That's all.

Being present for this year's rumble, I got to watch Kane awkwardly stumble around the outside of the ring avoiding cameras for the better part of an hour so he could eliminate CM punk, who had been laying in a corner of the ring for the better part of an hour. They don't really give a poo poo about live crowds.

Raw was alright, loved AJ, Concessions Kane, DB being back and J&J security extraordinaires. Hated the dead crowd (my biggest pet peeve, if you're bored or angry at least chant something! You paid to sit on your hands in silence, great job) and I think the opening promo went on way too long (25 minutes? Could have easily been 15). My biggest hate is, yes, now Harper is a cowardly heel who tried to leave with the belt. This goes against his whole character and makes zero sense and is the laziest poo poo imaginable. He's Luke Harper, loving crazy mountain man, he doesn't run from a fight! gently caress me. I mean if he'd gotten the belt, looked at Dean and said "NONONOOONO" (like the opposite of "YEAHYEAHYEAAAHYEAH") I might have been on board.

I don't think that's the case TNA sucked both in ring and out of the ring What's actually on the TV during Raw is pretty dang entertaining, the match quality is way better than a few years ago, they're far more self-aware and willing to laugh at themselves When you start reading about people getting super mad because their indy-superstar guy isn't being pushed on the internet or like analyzing the booking on a level that not even the bookers do, then you get these super huffy and angry posts and I don't see what the point of getting mad at WWE all the time is, especially when you're gonna keep on watching their shows

Cultlife posted:Not so much the move set, but some of her recent promos have sounded just like Punk in phrasing, rhythm and intonation. I've always thought she was doing a heel Trish impression. People actually watching three entire hours of RAW with commercials every week have to be masochists. It's about one-third commercials, and skipping past Diva's matches, replays, Guest Host segments, and anything involving Adam Rose or Fandango brings it in to a reasonable amount of time. Funny since I'm now watching mid-90's Nitros and not feeling compelled to skip anything.

It was fun when they teased it being someone big every week. One time he's day "And that's the bottom line cause the Anonymous GM said so" or something. Then he'd say "Everybody has a price". All these teases leading up to finally the big reveal of Hornswoggle. It's one of those storylines that you ended up feeling insulted that you actually spent time getting invested and curious about it.
