So, were low house show numbers the reason they let AJ win the US title on one so they can be like "See? ANYTHING can happen on a WWE show!"

They've been doing that on and off for the last 40 years, it might be low house show numbers, or it might be on a whim Vince decides he wants a new champion.

It was a cool thing, though I do agree with the idea it might have been better to do it at any venue other than MSG, just to get the idea into people's heads that ANYTHING could happen at their house show and who knows, maybe THEY could see a title change too. Happening at MSG is "less" of a surprise since it's such an important venue for WWE. Remind me, where did Joe win the NXT title for the first time? I remember it was a House Show but not if it was at a "big" venue or not.

SamuraiFoochs posted:That, the ambulance match, and 90% of the main made the show good. Basically the tag match and the last hour were good, and the IC Title was certainly nothing bad, it was just mediocre. tbh I may just remember Backlash as worse than it actually was because 1) Jinder 2) NXT burned the loving house down the night before. super macho dude posted:So, were low house show numbers the reason they let AJ win the US title on one so they can be like "See?

Jerusalem posted:You're right, it's $10 a month which is nothing, and there's a ton of value for it. Doesn't excuse the company from criticism of course, but it's still incredible value for money. I don't know if there is value in subscribing all year. The B level PPVs aren't much better than a normal Raw or Smackdown show. Maybe you'll get a Brock match or weird stipulation. They've also been doing the TNA move of having the PPVs build up a storyline for TV. I've gotten in the routine of just signing up for big events (Summerslam, Royal Rumble, WM) and viewing the extra content they have during it (Ride Along, etc). They'll usually offer a free trial when they need to impress investors. I don't think $10 is good value to watch Battleground and Great Balls of Fire though.

Chill Nazi Frog posted:So we're all pretty sure Jazzy Gabert is going to win this, by the way, right? I'm of two minds on this: 1. Somebody seriously expects that this will interfere with the build to SummerSlam and doesn't want the two to effect eachother OR 2. MYC Spoiler WWE is going full steam ahead with signing Shayna Bazler part time to build up a Four Horsewomen/Four Horsewomen match at Survivor Series. The way she was booked in the tournament I wouldn't be surprised if she debuted on TV shortly after the Finals and did a three month monster heel run.

The most visible / presumably lucrative spot for a woman in the indies is, what, LU intergender? And that won't exist in two years' time. She'll get a charity BOLA spot ala Cody, where does she go after that? TNA?

Guys I am legitimately excited for Raw. I hope the following things get set up and/or happen: -Dean/Seth v. Sheasaro -More Broken Hardy teases -BRAUN makes Roman/Joe a no contest, setting up a Fatal Four Way at Summerslam -Dixie showing up for maximum surrealism -Something for Finn to do. He should take the IC Title since Dean will be ideally teaming up with Seth -Enzo cuts an awesome promo again only to get murdered because watching Enzo sell is fun -Actually I'd also take Finn/Bray since Bray won the Seth feud If we get like three of these I'll call it a win.

If Dixie Carter showing up on Raw is finally what breaks Matt Hardy, then I suppose that's OK. Dixie Carter is real bad though. REAL bad.

Yeah I know she is but if you're gonna do Trainwreck poo poo it might as well involve a backstage angle. As opposed to say your top title, SmackDown. Also I just rewatched Battleground '16 and it broke my heart because they made Dean SUCH a viable top face superstar and he'll never see that again. I blame Ziggler.

It's just that i'm not entirely sure what kind of reaction the crowd would have to such a thing. If it does happen, it could either be horrendous or hilarious. Or both. I guess what i'm trying to say is that you take the good, you take the bad, you take them both, and then you have......Vanguard-1. Gonz fucked around with this message at 09:48 on Jul 17, 2017 |

RealFoxy posted:Agreed, Dean as Smackdown Champion was an absolute train wreck For only the Dolph Ziggler feud. Before and after was great but sure, let's pretend this is the one time Ziggler got involved with someone and it became garbage that it wasn't his fault.
