WadeBartender posted:I didnt watch raw but are the dudleys actually retired? cause it looks like wwe posted a clip of them leaving after that gallows and anderson attack and they're waving goodbye so? The retirement promo came across as pretty sincere and it seemed sort of like Gallows and Anderson's attack was a "put over some other guys on your way out" stuff.

DeepDickPizza posted:Like, if that was the Dudleys retiring, couldn't they have at least booked some sort of respectable feud to go out on where they look like something other than the biggest afterthought ever? Maybe give them something a step above a segment featuring the Shining Stars? They have to do a match with the Club at the very least, right? There's a WWE.com exclusive video of their "last walk" up the Raw ramp afterwards. I think that's it, man. And yeah it's a bit weird but they may very well have suggested the attack spot. Go out on your backs and all that.

Humphrey Vasel posted:But was it a shoot Well you see what happened was the Usos started shooting on how bad Roman Reigns was, so Vince called an audible and told Miz to go out there and disrupt the show by bitching about the IC title the way he has every week on TS. But then D Bry decided to go into business for himself and started attacking Miz's ringwork, so Miz retaliated, pinned Bryan's shoot to the mat, and won the Promo Title.

Skinty McEdger posted:I can't find it the now, but the gist was "Fans are being disrespectful by booing a belt instead of appreciating the show we put on" "it's only a vocal minority who are ruining the shows" and "remember the hardcore title was originally a joke and supposed to look funny but I made it into something highly respected and sought after." He did have a pretty valid follow-up point when he mentioned that Finn thought the chants were "Bálor sucks" and was really concerned that he'd done something wrong. That's a bullshit thing to have happen to you on your big night. Admittedly probably not as bad as loving up your shoulder on a barricade spot gone wrong...

VJeff posted:So, should I like, be going back and watching every episode of Smalking Tack now, 'cause, wow. There's only a couple, they're full of great little anecdotes and off-the-cuff remarks, and this specific promo has actually been building up for a bit with the almost weekly tension between Bryan and the Miz. You could do worse, but tonight was definitely the best one so far.

Astro7x posted:Why couldn't they have just put the Women on Smackdown and the Tag Division on Raw? With NXT, that's 11 titles now. There will probably be a cruiserweight title, so that's 12.Seems like way too many. I'll save you from my fantasy booking though I think it's mostly a natural end result of their new Pay Per View approach, which seems to be rooted in the (not incorrect) philosophy that more premium shows = more folks who just repeat their Network subscription month to month rather than trying to game the system. So if you've got a bunch of brand-exclusive cards to fill it's made easier by having a "normal" slate of belts to defend.

Marquis de Pyro posted:Have Miz tease doing crazy moves but never do them. I know it's kind of KO's thing already, but he still does cool stuff. Have the Miz set up a piledriver but then gently set his opponent down and punch them instead. Have him go to the top rope like he's doing a moonsault, but instead he carefully climbs down and delivers an elbow drop. What's this? Miz is posing at the top of the cage...and now he's just climbing down and winning the match instead of stupidly jumping back in! That'd also work with his character. "Yeah I could do all of those moves, because I'm awesome, but I've got to protect these goods - I have movies to film!"

After the show was already clearly way, way too long, and the only thing left was going to be Roman Reigns' obligatory crowning? I was about ready to permanently turn on The Rock then, not gonna lie.

VJeff posted:Yeah. I don't have a hard time believing Brock is a roid monkey who would blow open Randy's face on a botch and ruin the match on accident, though. It's definitely a finish where, on paper, it sounds like an interesting idea, like we all watch that happen and think to ourselves "oh man, that Lesnar's out of control, he's punching the poo poo out of Orton! Even Heyman is flabbergasted!" but in practice it came across like a blade job had gone wrong and they had to stop the main event match of the second biggest show of the year on a botch. Which isn't even that far from the truth given he hosed the elbow shots up. To say nothing of the fact that this strange finish went on immediately after Reigns and Rusev didn't even have a match. Christ, this company.

My completely not medically trained mind wonders if maybe it being that bad means there was already an issue and the dislocation at SummerSlam was just the final straw, or if that all stems from the one bump like some kind of terrifying shoulder injury cascade.
