I literally missed everything but the last 5 minutes of Raw, the show didn't sound particularly good but how was it? The Usos/Good Brothers match sounded like it was pretty solid?

the power dynamics of this place are detrimental to overall posting morale and antithetically toxic to any bubbling sense of healthy discussion. i see it over and over, on a weekly basis. something must change. It's my diaper! the O RLY owl

In case you were wondering where the IIconics were this week on RAW (outside of the promo package): They were fighting Alicia Fox and Tamina on Main Event, and won. Still not exactly the best optics for the titles to already be relegated to WWE Main Event.

Hey to be fair, Lacey Evans was also immediately relegated to Main Event and now she's getting a title shot on a PPV! I mean, that's awful too, but that's neither here nor there!

So I was sleeping but you’re telling me that the revival declined to sign new contracts, so WWE put them in a segment where they shaved each other’s backs?

fatherofmustard posted:To be fair, Brock attacked him before the match started. Yeah but it feels like if he's going to make this a catchphrase for months that he says to all his opponents they should have just nutted up and had Brock lose because Seth was better. So nothing new from how WWE usually does things, basically.

Guys I'm concerned, Abby the Witch sounded very different this week. I think she might have a serious head cold.CJ2 quoting Dave posted:The story from Fightful.com going around that The Revival turned down five-year contracts for $500,000 apiece per year is accurate. Tonight's TV may give you WWE's reaction to that. If you don't want talent to run off, burying them on TV when they don't re-sign sure is a good idea.

Blaise330 posted:Oof Sami kinda bombed this week. Shame, he was off to a hot start. His delivery is still great, it's just the material doesn't matter. It's only a degree of nuance removed from "you people" promos and there's no actual direction for it--there's no one he's feuding with, no wrestler to take it out on, no title he's challenging for. He's basically just ranting. The crowd has already cooled precipitously. Jerusalem posted:I literally missed everything but the last 5 minutes of Raw, the show didn't sound particularly good but how was it? The Usos/Good Brothers match sounded like it was pretty solid? It was, in fact, not particularly good. The tag match was okay, but it lasted less time than the Revival back-shaving angle and that makes it hard to have a good impression. Also, the Usos singing their way to the ring and trying to encourage the crowd to dance has been overshadowed by said back-shaving but it was really loving awkward. Like, the best segment of the entire show might honestly have been Becky and Lacey beating each other up.

I went to the Smackdown house show instead of watching Raw tonight. Heavy Machinery vs. the B-Team MOTY.

This is particularly galling since the Usos kinda sucked for ages then they got given a bunch of freedom (I can't remember if it started on Smackdown or not) to just be themselves/cut their own weird promos and they became amazing. Now it looks like WWE might be "helping" them VJeff posted:If you don't want talent to run off, burying them on TV when they don't re-sign sure is a good idea. Aphrodite posted:Seth beat up both of the Revival after the show went off the air. I assume the mindset is,"We'll make these guys such jokes it'll ruin their marketability once they leave!" not understanding that these guys who are booked like jokes on WWE and then turn out to be incredible in other promotions is NOT a knock against the other promotions.

Now it looks like WWE might be "helping" them I'm gonna take this as an opportunity to chart the Usos evolution because I find it really fascinating. - They went to SmackDown as same ol' bland face Usos in the 2016 brand split. - Started adopting heelish tendencies slowly when it looked like American Alpha might be the new hot tag team on the block - American Alpha beat them in a tournament match (where the Usos jumped them at the bell) and the Usos snapped, attacked American Alpha and went heel. - They ditched the facepaint and all the Samoan iconography, got their new music and started heavily emphasizing limbwork and submissions. This was absolutely fascinating because for a few weeks there they were this really fun mix of The Young Bucks and The Revival, doing a frog splash on somebody's leg and then putting them in a Tequila Sunrise. - They just kinda treaded water while the Slater/Rhyno stuff and Wyatt Family stuff was happening until they started feuding with American Alpha for the tag titles. This is when they started talking about Day One Ish and doing the "It's Not Paranoia, It's the Usos" promos. This promo imo is when they really started clicking. - They had a series of really great TV matches with American Alpha that nobody remembers except me. One of them was literally interrupted by shots of Shane McMahon walking down a hallway. It's a goddamn tragedy. But they won the tag belts off American Alpha here. - After Wrestlemania 33, they feuded with Breezango next. This is where they picked up the Uso Penitentiary stuff. - After Breezango, they feuded with New Day. This is where they got new music where they rapped over their current theme. - After the New Day feud, basically a year after turning heel, they turned face because everybody just loved them now. - Jimmy fought a cop. - Then they went to Raw to presumably be completely ruined. It's just so interesting to me because you can see that the gimmick was just kinda there at first after the turn, but then they hit the Day One Ish stuff, started incorporating stuff from their opponents in their feuds and then they just got more and more over with all of these awesome matches until everybody loved them. It's the best example of turning someone heel to turn them face I can think of and it's also a great example of letting someone get over by just letting them be themselves. If WWE treated more acts like the Usos, their TV would probably be a lot more fun to watch. MJeff fucked around with this message at 06:33 on Apr 30, 2019 |
