Vaguido posted:Hey y'all, remember this sick promo by Daniel and Shane regarding what Smackdown Live is supposed to be about? Hey who is the guy next to Alexa Bliss? He looks a bit like Vladimir Kozlov but this is not 2009 or whatnot. He doesn't get a lot of time on camera and I can't tell who he and his partner are. I assume partner as they seem to have similar gear. Seriously bugging me... Such good times. Feels like years ago. Weird how, nowadays, I hate Shane O Mac more than Steph. Big Coffin Hunter posted:Reigns/Undertaker isn't amazing but on a rewatch it feels underrated I still hope that rumour is wrong. I wanted Cena/Taker before but... its time to move on. Taker was beaten then retired by the new chosen one. Let it be done. Match wasn't that bad. Taker coming back for yet another match just feels like a waste. The mystique is gone. You took the figure out of the package and played with it. You can't scotch tape it back in and try to sell it as unopened to some poor sap on ebay. Well you CAN, but should you? Also seems weird since Roman is still their dog. I know it isn't mentioned as much now but still.... the Big Dog destroying the Dead Man is still a big feather in his cap. Why take that away from him? Just hope this turns out to be false. Let old grandpa Taker chill on his porch. Don't bring him back.

Taker is not capable of having a good match anymore. Period. It's going to be awful snails paced dogshit. I really hope Taker doesn't need the money because holy poo poo he should not be wrestling. It's depressing watching him shamble through a lovely match with that awful dye job and guyliner.

Shawn made that second Taker/HHH match okay just by his ridiculous selling. He sold Taker kicking out of the Superkick + Pedigree like someone dropped a vial of bubonic plague

I liked the HiaC match. It was the right kind of self-indulgent ridiculousness. The kickout was great and I like HHH going for his hammer and Undertaker stepping on it and just the way the finish has this slow feeling of futility encroaching on HHH when he realizes he ain't gonna do what he set out to do. And he just does a defiant Suck It before eating another Tombstone and going down. I enjoy it.

It was way better than the WM27 Taker/HHH match, which was a loving painfully boring chore and HHH at his worst self-indulgent habits.

DoctorGonzo posted:rehashing Michaaels slap when he retired. HHH loving sucks I think they're different enough. HBK's throat slash and slap comes off like he's desperate to keep going (because, y'know, he doesn't want his career to end) and he still thinks he can win and the slap incenses Undertaker, who was kinda hesitating to finish the job at that point, enough to bury him with the Super Tombstone. HHH's Suck It comes off as just defiance in the face of futility, like, HHH knows he's toast but he wants to get in one last gently caress you before the inevitable happens. HBK's is better, obviously, but I still like HHH's. Which is kind of a microcosm of those two in general. Benne posted:It was way better than the WM27 Taker/HHH match, which was a loving painfully boring chore and HHH at his worst self-indulgent habits. I like the finish of that one, because of the idea of HHH being so self-indulgent with his own poo poo and so frustrated with Undertaker being unkillable that he does something really stupid and gets caught and I like the idea of Taker being pissed off that he couldn't leave the match under his own power playing into the next one where he definitively beats HHH. Having said that, yeah, that match is pretty much a slog. HHH hitting like seven Pedigrees is pretty

triple h is a fantastic performer but he really should have stopped after WM 30 because everything he’s done since then has been increasingly irrelevant and painfully boring stephanie should never have been on tv in the first place undertaker should have retired after the lesnar loss shawn went out at the perfect time and that’s why he’s the best I’m still pumped up for Cena-Undertaker though

They seem to have put Miz and Asuka on a fairly easy path to victory. The only question mark is Bliss/Strowman, but I'm pretty sure they can work around that by having Bliss do something dumb like slap Strowman, causing him to throw her to the wolves or something.

A 12-week run means they might be planning to put the final on the Mania card (or the pre-show Facebook stream or whatever). So uh, hope none of your favorite wrestlers get tied up in that!

piss tape israel posted:I can see it happening in Week 10 where Miz/Asuka face Strowman/Bliss, except Asuka stretchers Bliss and Strowman stretchers Miz, leaving Asuka and Strowman no choice but to continue as partners into Week 12 Okay you know that spot from Young Bucks vs Roppongi 3k where they kept kicking the injured partner's back? That, except it's Asuka and Strowman's finishers to the other's partner.

Just got an email that WWE is returning to Chicago, but going to the United Center instead of Allstate Arena... for a house show. That arena holds 5,000 more people, and they never really sell out Allstate when they come.

Gaz-L posted:I figured it was gonna be September, to spite Cody et al. They dont really advertise more than one show in advance. After the house show I’m sure tickets will go on sale for MITB in June. Chicago will then get a house show in September, and then probably Raw/Smackdown In Christmas since that has been the trend. I wonder if they are testing out United Center since now MITB will be a combined roster PPV with a Takeover the day before? But they couldn’t even sell out half of the upper deck of Allstate for Takeover Chicago and just blocked it off.
