I know Hunter is almost as bad as Vince but I wonder if he gets so mad at Asuka's booking.

Mr. Carlisle posted:Tonight you were complaining the most during a time when like 95% of the thread were laughing and enjoying themselves though - like the one time during the show people were legit having a blast watching it It's not that hard. I found the show lovely AND the crowd unfunny (if impressively dedicated). Two bad tastes that went worse together! It's not that complicated.

People pop for a good product, even for wwe. The threads were very positive when Smackdown had just done the brand split and was putting on killer shows. Bad shows have bad threads, good shows have good ones, people still pop for good things on bad shows (see anytime Seth Rollins shows up)

Your complaint was the negativity ruins it for you and during that time you were the only one really being negative and might have been bumming other people out do you see why that's hard to understand

Aphrodite posted:So it’s okay for you to do that but not anyone else. No? I'm not saying the crowd wasn't within their right or even that it didn't make sense. I just found what they chose to do incredibly grating and it lessened my enjoyment out of one of the only good matches on the card (until the end which holy poo poo). Nor am I saying that the thread wasn't within its right to enjoy the crowd. I'm just baffled by people thinking it was funny rather than obnoxious.

This show managed to make me feel bad for Dolph Ziggler. Ain't the crowd's fault either. Creative sent Seth and Dolph to the wolves.

Alan_Shore posted:Can someone please post the results and review why it was so poo poo? The short version is Carmella beat Asuka again, both the US and SD Tag Title matches were bait and switch (or close), and nothing happened other than Shinsuke beating Hardy in a MITB cash in-esque match, Lashley beat Roman clean, and the loving B-Team won the Raw Tag Titles. I'm gonna admit I don't "get" The B-Team. I just don't. Glad other people enjoy them.

I can't believe a Roman Reigns vs. Bobby Lashley match with #1 contendership implications was better received than a 30+ minute Seth Rollins match.

The trash cans with no lids is definitely something that annoys me about wwe hardcore matches. They never feel impromptu or crazy or anything. They have the three allowed weapons that are all placed in the ring before hand, and they barely do anything with them. The whole fun of the hardcore match is that the wrestlers are trying to figure out new ways to hurt their opponent with whatever is available to them. Why wwe is keeping kendo sticks under the ring I'll never know.

WWE trains their audience that nothing really matters. Why would they expect crowds to be invested in a 30 minute match? They don’t care about pushing faces and heels correctly, they piss all over continuity, titles are just props, and the shows are too drat long. Open with the Iron Man match if you want the crowd to be hot for fucks sake. Is it really this complicated?

Even better is due to all of the things you just said they now they have their 'see, we closed with the poo poo nerds love and that didn't work at all' excuse in their back pocket once again Imagine that same match with Daniel Bryan in Ziggler's spot

How did Carmella win this time? Distraction? Asuka still looking good, right? Surprised Lashley won clean. Very... Surprised. Did the crowd poo poo all over Roman? Please say yes

You can't really blame people at a WWE show for chanting stupid poo poo to amuse themselves when they get a godawful card and you can't really blame people in a WWE GDT for teeing off on the entire experience to amuse themselves when they get a godawful show. The onus isn't on the person watching to be more receptive to the two or three good things in the mountain of garbage that's been dumped at their door, the onus is on WWE to release a good product. They're the ones that failed to hold up their end of the bargain.

It didn't do much to make Asuka look smart. The shark cage fell? It's supposed to be elevated above the ring! How did Ellsworth get out? These shows are just too long. It'd probably have been better received if it was less than 3 hours with 6 or 7 matches.

Yeah I don't think the Asuka/Carmella feud is over with yet (much to your delight or chargin). Per WWE.com:quote:If The Empress of Tomorrow has an eye on more opportunities against Carmella, she may have decided the best way to remove Ellsworth might not be to lock him up, but to take him out. It's also worth noting that the post show panel threw a TON of shade on Carmella's victory, and she spent time bitching about how Paige abuses her authority.

It's worth noting that Ellsworth is likely being written out sooner rather than later. He has a bunch of indie dates coming up at the end of July through October that he hasn't cancelled yet. So if tonight wasn't his write off (it doesn't seem like it), it should happen in the next few weeks.
