Pros - Aries vs Neville is being built really well. Steph/Mick/HHH/Seth would have been really good if it was 12 minutes of tv time instead of 40 Cons - the amount of my life I've spent on this horrible industry

Since he's facing Taker the WWE's actually being smart and booking him like a tweener because there's literally no way he's going to be outright cheered.

SamuraiFoochs posted:I'm normally skeptical but NO one was cheering Roman by the end and he straight up disrespected two universally beloved legends for almost no reason in one promo. I wouldn't toxx on it or anything but I'm growing more confident by the week that it may, in fact, be Happening. I still don't buy it, at the very least Roman's in phase 2 of Vince's 3 part destined to fail plan to get him over as face, which is probably going to last at least until the fall. Phase 1: Babyface push. Result: Sufferin' Succotash and getting a Make-A-Wish kid booed Phase 2: Badass anti-hero who seldomly talks Result: Comes off more like an rear end in a top hat than anything else Phase 3: Reuniting the Shield nostalgia act Potential Results: a. Works at the time and Roman's over again thanks to Seth and Dean, crowd immediately turns on him once more when they disband again. b. Seth & Dean get cheered for their parts, Roman's booed as soon as he's tagged in. c. The crowd completely sees through what WWE's doing and turns on all 3 of them. The only question is after Phase 3 ends does Vince finally turn him or does he just rotate back to Phase 1 and run through the process again.

Open Marriage Night posted:What was the dark match tonight? Glad I dodged a bullet tonight. Was ready to be mad if Balor came back. To answer the previous question, the next show in Detroit is Saturday July 29th - so this was the last televised show at the Joe, but one more house show left. Dark match was a quick "street fight" style brawl with Reigns wanting revenge on Strowman for that sneak attack on the ramp. Strowman used steel chairs, Reigns fought back, they parted ways & that was it. On my way out of the building Mick Foley was walking through all the people trying to catch his ride. You could hardly notice him - my friend was wondering what I was looking at but a few people were calling out to him. This was as we stated it was too cold to stand around & wait outside. Overall, cool surprises and great promo segments, but no good wrestling to speak of. Clearly nobody wants to get injured going into Mania. My biggest disappointment was for all the focus they put on "Last Go at the Joe" including this t-shirt that sold out pretty quick, I was surprised we didn't get some sort of vehicle driven into the arena as a callback, like Austin with the Zamboni, Ambrose last year in the ambulance, or Austin getting run over in the parking lot in '99. friendo55 fucked around with this message at 07:15 on Mar 14, 2017 |

Just caught up on Raw, while watching it the burning question on my mind was wouldn't it have made more sense for Jinder to beat Roman Reigns after the GONG so that HBK's promo about Roman being distracted at a time when he needed his wits about him actually made sense. The ending segment was so terrible that I literally forgot the Roman one even happened and had to go back through the results to remind myself what it was.

Yeah the thing is, part of the reason for my earlier comment is that there's not a doubt in my mind that Vince himself doesn't see Roman's poo poo as being "disrespectful" and instead sees it as him being a cool loner badass. Everything is leading to Reigns pinning Undertaker as Cole proclaims, to switch things up from what I said last week, that love him or hate him you'll respect THE BIG DOG in what's now HIS YARD.

btw if they wanna get Roman over as a heel or a tweener, stop having him say "with all due respect." Just have him tell HBK to go gently caress himself cause he's a retired old shitter who couldn't get the job done.

SamuraiFoochs posted:He said they would do it with this segment. They literally did not. like okay they posted a clip where roman got shade thrown at him without sweetening it. great. but to act like the narrative they wanna present (as of this week apparently) hasn't been "love roman reigns unconditionally" is real shortsighted and revisionist. catch my vibe?

I really hope they do turn Roman heel only so people can see that he will be a boring rear end heel as well.

I hope nobody watched that poo poo WWE Sportscenter thing that was advertised as having a second episode after Raw, since the first one was a vehicle for WWE Management to strawman and insult their own audience on a scale not seen since Dixie Carter Went To Washington. As described in the writeup I kind of liked the Mick/Stephanie angle. It felt like they were almost trying to pay off all those months of Stephanie destroying Mick's credibility, and trying to raise Sami Zayn and Bayley's stock by making them the ones in Stephanie's crosshairs. Also I'm glad that Triple H finally remembered he's supposed to be the god drat heel in this feud, and Seth remembered he's supposed to be a loving face and came to rescue a beloved legend from a beating instead of threatening children or crying about no longer getting favoritism. Took them long enough. Everything else except HBK and Braun's parts in the Roman segment sounded like hotter garbage than usual. When Roman destroys his career at Mania I may never stop laughing.

Remember when there was that Survivor series that Roman won and all they had to do was a complete repeat of Deadly Games with Roman over Dean to give him nuclear heat as a heel? And consequently give nuclear heat to Dean as a face? Remember when they didn't do that?
