Chris James 2 posted:Honestly, if the "Goldberg gets the belt at FastLane" stuff happens, I could see it working with Owens wanting Jericho's belt and winning it at Mania and/or apron powerbombing him afterwards. Obviously that's assuming they don't gently caress up his booking and as you said that's probably too much to hope for, but if they want an easy way of getting Chris off camera AND getting either of them booed more than ever, I'm struggling to think of anything else. If it's for the US title, it shouldn't even be done. When it happens, it needs to feel important. It can't be for a midcard belt. That would be an insult to the both of them.

Alain Post posted:Both of them were leaving the company, which is why people started booing, and then they proceeded to not give a poo poo because they were mad about the fans. It was not because of "Not Enough Stars". I'm pretty sure the only reason why the Brock/Berg fued has worked so well this time is because we hardly ever see them on TV and because they aren't being thrown into tag matches every week as a half assed way of building the fued. Its just a rare example of a well booked rivalry. Its nothing special but it stands out because WWE are loving terrible at building any kind of tension between two people these days.

Literally the first chant was "you sold out" and both wrestlers were visibly pissed. They would hardly be the first wrestlers ever to not give a poo poo when getting a bad crowd response.

If Seth is really out, I say go with Tye Dillinger. Have him come out and complain about getting a huge reaction at the rumble and being sent back down by Hunter anyway. Joe got called up over him so there's a built in reason there. There's nobody on the main roster that isn't either tied up or ruined already, Dillinger is majorly over, he's entertaining as hell, he's a quality worker. Sink or swim.

RealFoxy posted:Where are the spoilers in this thread? This is just booking gripes It started with Goldberg beating Owens at FastLane and Brock/Goldberg being for the belt. It spiraling to this is just gripes everyone has with how Brock's been booked and how Owens has been booked in response to it, and also a small bit about how at least one of Brock/Goldberg leaving after Mania (and yes, Goldberg's leaving after Mania) was kinda why the last Mania match the two had went to poo poo in the first place I don't know why it's so hard for them to go a year without loving up the Rumble or the Mania, but here we are 5 years in a row with them not able to pull it off

Big pop for Ember. Hot crowd, okay match. Ember wins with the Eclipse for a big pop. After the match, Ember helps Aliyah up and gives her a handshake & hug

IIRC from the Wrestlemania 20 match, Goldberg did his best but Brock was immediately shook. Brock as we later learned is hilariously antisocial and doesn't really give a poo poo about the biz, which explains that bit.

The Revival are still doing things in the NXT tapings. I was assuming they'd show up at the PPV Tag Turmoil match, but I guess the best tag team in the company is better suited building tag teams that don't need the help instead of coming up and helping a dying tag division on SD Live.

It's not their fault, I assume that Wyatts would still be holding the belts if it weren't for Zack getting injured, which made them fast track the Alpha program, but they still have an anemic division right now. Either bring them up ASAP or get a tag team to actually do something.

Gorn Myson posted:Your options are that Brock isn't that great a wrestler, or that hes unprofessional because he sleepwalked through a match because he didn't fancy it. He can be criticised for either one of those. Sure, call him unprofessional. Other unprofessional wrestlers include drat near every wrestler ever worth anything. Dusty, Flair, and Austin all have moments of being very unprofessional. Looking out for yourself at the expense of others, whether they be fans or fellow wrestlers, is just part of the business, and if you're leaving a company and the fans are making GBS threads on you for it, gently caress 'em, you don't owe them poo poo. rare Magic card l00k fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Feb 2, 2017 |

Here are the NXT taping spoilers by the wayquote:February 8th Episode: So, it's looking like the Takeover Orlando card is Roode vs. Ohno Asuka vs. Ember Moon DIY vs. Authors of Pain vs. The Revival Presumably a UK Championship match since they're featuring those guys on the show. I'm glad to see Heavy Machinery are going to be on my TV soon, I hope it's a decent length. Strange booking in the women's division. They got everyone interested in an Asuka/Nikki match with the four way and now they've switched gears back to the match people wanted to see in the first place? No Nakamura or Aleister Black so far. Maybe that match could be Nakamura's send off? Then Roddy vs. Eric Young to round off the card?

Tag scene just kind of stalled out with Ryder's injury and 3 women's storylines taking up a bunch of time. TBH, that division has AA / Usos / Breezango, which means they're in a really fuckin good spot. You could just have those 3 trade the belts for 6 months and as long as you gave them 15 minutes on a PPV I'd turn up everytime.
