Eva looked like she was afraid of being in the ring. I was ready to give her credit for improvement, but she moved so gingerly and everything was so slow. You can't walk into a Sliced Bread #2 and expect it to look anything but terrible. Props to THE Brian Kendrick for getting her to the point where she can take bumps and at least do some moves, but there is still a lot of work to be done. Also, Finn in a suit is always a highlight and he should appear every week in one.

Eltoasto posted:Yeah. I mean she was JUST signed and immediately showed up on tv. Even if it's as a jobber, to me it means that they really like her. Both the Aussie ladies they brought in are solid. She also got in more offense than most jobbers and it really stood out for how unique it was. I'm guessing the Aussie's will move up the card quickly to fill the void left by the Horsewomen moving to Raw.

DM Punk posted:Even when Eva was walking to the ring, she literally showed no emotion. She was protraying any character or anything. Its like someone told her "pretend you're an emotionless robot." Eva has had the most drama of anyone on Total Divas including family members with cancer, a wedding, and a leaking boob and her voice did not change levels once when going through any of those things. She might actually be a poorly functioning robot.

sticklefifer posted:I still think Breeze and Fandango could be an amazing tag team. Of course the key would be getting a push and not languishing in the midcard, but they've got the combined talent and charisma to put on some really fun matches. I'm down with this if they are named Pretty Weird and their finisher is called Last Tango in Cutesville

WWE heard my cries for a deeper tag division in NXT! The 3D Codebreaker and Grand Amplitude are such good tag finishers and I look forward to a whole crop of serious contenders. The main event was really good for establishing the Vaudevillains as more than just a comedy team too.

Mods, please close the thread and give me a new avatar of my choosing because I correctly placed the under bet on page 1. Also, complaining that a wrestling match was put together to make people cheer someone is flat out insane. gently caress Steve Austin for drinking beers and doing stunners because those actions were just written so get people to cheer him. I think he also said something good about Sara Del Rey one time.

Dias posted:Let's talk about happy things, like the ignore feature on these forums; Chad Gable being awesome and having a tag finisher named after something in an RPG. I'm pretty sure Grand Amplitude is a Double Tech. Grand amplitude is an amateur wrestling term for a throw that gives you a fall by virtue of being so awesome.

Giving a headband to a kid in the crowd was a genius idea. Think of how many Bret Hart packages feature him giving away the sunglasses. They've got the version of that for little girls and Bayley could make some real merch money on headbands because they won't be very expensive relative to the rest of the merch and everyone will want one. I want one dammit. Bayley is also good in the ring, especially now that she's got a bit of an edge to her comeback.

sticklefifer posted:I'm not wild about the name Apollo Crews, mainly because it's not especially chantable (unless they go for A-POLL-O) where Uhaa really is, and also because Samoa Joe got to keep his. But I guess I wasn't too big on a lot of the names they've given people in the last few years and they grew on me too. I'll give it time. Joe likely kept his because of where he is at in his career. He's winding down at this point and he will likely never see the main roster, so there is little risk in letting him have his name on WWE programming. Uhaa is young and they don't want him building up his name then taking it elsewhere with him.

minoru suzuki posted:nice try with that strawman but the issue taken with your post is the inherent sexism hidden behind the veil of "wrestling is a cosmetic business" point you're pretending to make, that is what people are taking issue with This is the point you refuse to get, rovert. Women are constantly bombarded with attacks on their looks with "looking old" being incredibly common and complete bullshit. Nobody jumps to defend Chris Hero when he is called fat because there isn't a deep seeded misogyny that drives people to call him fat. Quit trying to get the thread closed again.

rovert posted:I'd call the male equivalent of Charlotte old too for the record. Ric Flair had numerous facelifts during his active career. You are loving dense and seriously lack reading comprehension. The point of my post and the reason that people are calling you an Internet weirdo is that women's bodies are constantly under a microscope, so what you said is hosed up. The fact that you think that stating that a male wrestler looks out of shape or had facelifts is at all the same proves that you need to quit stalking every wrestler who ever went to Orlando on Twitter and start interacting with the real loving world.

I actually thought that Becky looked a little off in the match. I've never thought that she and Bayley had good chemistry regardless. Not a bad match, but not a showcase. It makes sense learning that the Charlotte match was the same night.

Jerusalem posted:Coming soon, the hot tag team of Baron Corbin and Tough Enough 2015 winner Josh (I'm sure he has a last name but nobody knows what it is) - they're your new favorites because they're both tall! TALL! Josh is absolutely going to steal Corbin's fan base because he is better looking and way more toned. Middle-aged women want a long haired tattooed dude and there is only room for one. Yeti vs Lone Wolf - battle for supremacy. I'm guessing that Corbin gets the upper hand on the go home show somehow because there is no way anyone is dumb enough to put Corbin over Joe in NYC.

The contrast between how WWE and NXT treat special events is ridiculous. WWE events are just another show and they aren't even as long as Raw. Takeovers are crazy hyped and every one has the vibe that something important is going to go down.

DEAR RICHARD posted:Takeover seemed a bit empty without Enzo and Cass. How big was their pop for the taping? I am quite certain that they will be on Raw. Takeovers are always so carefully planned and I don't think they'd miss the opportunity to have them in Brooklyn unless they knew that they could use that pop for a hot debut.
