I'm pretty sure a couple people have used a mat twister, but I can't remember who. Taker and that Hell's Gate triangle choke thing where he has to be insanely careful not to put both his shoulders down or it looks like he should be getting pinned. Terrible visual.

People criticize the WWE for not being able to get people over but if you look at the two Raws that hype the confrontation between the Shield and the Wyatts? The crowd is insane and ready for it and are losing their minds just watching the two teams look at each other. I was in the EC crowd for Shield/Wyatts and I'll never forget the entire arena losing their poo poo before the match even started chanting "this is awesome" before that became a thing that's chanted at any match longer than 10 minutes.

They didn't tell Rollins he was turning until that night because they knew they'd probably resist it again IIRC.

I was at the EC go home show and yeah, before the lights went out to herald the arrival of the Wyatts in the last big pull-apart brawl, it was as if someone left the crowd's power switch off. That's even taking into account the Cena / Cesaro match that got the latter his short but sweet singles push. There was also a Bryan / Christian match that was real technical but the crowd didn't know what to do with it.

I think the other thing that makes Shield/Wyatts so much more notable is Cena/Punk and Cena/RVD were both such flash pots. Wyatts/Shield would have worked anywhere.

I definitely don't blame him for not risking his job (especially given that this was the start of a solo push for him as the golden boy) but I would have loved if Rollins had just flat-out refused. I wish wrestlers would refuse to do things that are stupid or lame, instead of only refusing things like 'lose a match' or 'do not break your opponents arm' "THERE'S ALWAYS... A PLAN B!" *shield stands around confused, rollins shields his eyes and peers into the crowd*

The setup is that Triple H forced the Shield into a 3 vs. 11 handicap match on Raw and it ended badly for them. The same match is set up as the main event of Smackdown and the Shield figures, "How do you expect to have 11 people show up when most of them won't be able to stand by the end of the show?" Then they triple powerbombed jobber heel Ryback and I felt kind of bad about how far his star had fallen.

OctoberCountry posted:Wasn't there a really good re-match at a Main Event taping of all things just before they broke up the Shield? There was a brief period right when the Network first started where they aired Main Event live, and actually put some big matches on the show, including the one you’re probably thinking of. At the time, I remember people theorizing that they were trying to stress test the Network’s infrastructure as best they could before WrestleMania.

Everyone talks about the Wyatts feud but for my money the best Shield moment was when they saved Bryan at raw after mania 30, turned face, and started the Evolution feud all at once.

Who is the most successful former WWE Women's Wrestler? On the men's side it's pretty clearly The Rock, and now Batista has done pretty well for himself. I know Trish had some measure of success with Yoga and some TV stuff. Stacy Keibler has some TV credits and I think worked for ABC(?) but I'm not sure how famous she is.

I want to say that the reasons people liked reigns in the shield was that all of his contrived bullshit as a singles guy, The superman punch and the drive by kick for example, worked amazingly as tag cuttoff moves done out of the blue. He is possibly one of the best hot tags in wrestling, no fooling.

The first Shield match is still my favorite because I don't think anyone anticipated just how amazing that match was going to be. Rollins was the underwhelming NXT champ, Ambrose was still thought of as a deathmatch guy, and Leakee loving sucked in his what, 2 appearances on NXT? Even on the other side, 2/3rds of the match were Ryback and Kane. But then the match loving ruled and The Shield actually won and everyone was hype as hell after that.
