The build for the PPV has been rather crap the last two weeks but with those matches, it has the potential to be a really great show. Most excited for Ambrose/Rollins. I hope this dumbass Bryan cheating angle is handled entirely with Brie and Steph and Bryan never appears or acknowledges it when he returns. Also, Heath Slater is a god drat winner and on a streak. He shouldn't be associating with losers like Titus. Put Titus in a team with some other jobber like Cesaro.

This physical therapist angle is kind of disgusting, don't do this poo poo WWE. It is sleazy and cheap, but not cheap heat. Just nasty. Also, Brie seems to be borrowing Steph's PPV shorts.

Despite the terrible turn the Steph/Brie match took and the lackluster Cena/Lesnar stuff on Raw, HOLY CHRIST that Network special was great and I think the build to every match has been mediocre at worst, and excellent at other times, much how I expect the matches to vary in potential vs. actual quality. On paper I think this has the potential to comfortably surpass Mania if all the matches deliver. I cannot remember the last time a card looked this great to me top to bottom.

Trot out Hulk Hogan and a bunch of dinosaurs to try to boost ratings (but don't put your best wrestler on your ppv). Claire Lynch like physical therapist angle. Sting technically employed but not doing anything. I thought TNA was canceled?

Is a poorly photoshopped version of vinceflex with a jbl reference as bannable as vince flex? Because I got so loving bored watching raw tonight as they had their cascade of bad ideas that I did that up in MS paint over even pretending to give a poo poo. One of the worst Raw's I've ever seen. The promos were weirdly good outside of that Steph/Brie disaster. Why in the name of christ did they have to make the woman who's Daniel's mistress or whatever be way less attractive than his wife? Is this another chapter in the "Daniel is the dumbest person on earth" saga or something? I'm really confused by that. Seeing other pictures of the woman, she looks more attractive than she looked tonight. It's like they just want to keep making him look like an idiot at every turn! "Oh, he married a really beautiful woman and has a happy life? Nope. He screwed it up almost instantly and cheated on his model-esque wife with some random butterface." Even if you take the obvious "Steph is lying" approach, why WOULDN'T she pick someone attractive? I honestly think they did her make up badly just to make her look worse, because I saw a picture of her, and she's attractive. I dunno, it's reading between the lines a bit, but I know how Vince is and supposedly, he's steering the ship now. I have one question, after this shitshow. Which Vince booked this dumpster fire? Terrible show and the few shining moments were diamonds in a sea of poo poo. I dunno why, but I really hated this Raw. It is rare when a show can be so fantastically bad for me. I've watched JCW dvd's and that's some lovely wrestling most days, and I've enjoyed it. There was little to enjoy here. Dean, Wyatt, Jericho, and of course, Heyman, you were all way too good for the shitfest you were sandwiched in. Not trying to effort post, but drat if it isn't a shame that great promo work wasn't buried under ineptitude from creative, and worse than usual.

When you're unsure of what the company "really" thinks about an angle or someone involved in it, listen to Cole's commentary because he is literally spouting off stuff Vince McMahon tells him to. The entire night he kept talking about how preposterous Stephanie's allegations about Bryan were, which is what you, the viewer, were supposed to think. Stephanie is a master manipulator and Brie fell into her trap. If anything, Brie is the dumbest person on earth.

Just got home from the show. It's always fun to see live shows, but I suspect it was kinda boring to watch on TV. Paul Heyman owns. Brock Lesnar is huge. Cesaro's new siren music is annoying as poo poo live. Nobody seemed to care about him, and people only cared about Swagger because USA! USA! USA! When Stephanie told us that the physical therapist had a confession to make, the guy next to me said "she worked for TNA?" The arena let out a collective groan during the whole dumbass DANIEL BRYAN HAD AN AFFAIR bit, including the 3-4 times they replayed it throughout the night. It was reeeaaaalllllyyy stupid, but at least it didn't end up being an "implied rape" angle or something. Daniel Bryan got a big pop when Brie used the Yes Lock. The AJ Lee "match" reminded my girlfriend why she stopped trying to like women's wrestling. I want Awesome Kong to win the Royal Rumble. The Rollins/RVD match was cool because Seth Rollins curb stomping fools is cool. His music is awkward because it goes silent for so long before it loops. Then it comes back on and you're like "oh, his music's still playing." RVD doing a splash out of rolling thunder confused everybody around me. Chant of the night was "Slater beat you!" at Rollins. Several "We want Ambrose" chants during that match, and a big pop when he attacked Rollins. My girlfriend swooned when Ambrose was speaking because he is the Titty Master. AJ Hawk wished Hulk a happy birthday. I do not know who he is. John Cena used the word "prognosticator" but I don't think most of his fans know what that means. He won the crowd over once he got Serious Face and said "bitch." Some old guy behind me was annoyed with me all night because I was booing Cena. 401 Kane looks like a giant infant. Also I learned that ramming somebody into a ring post is only okay if you do it twice. Reigns did a suplex so I assume PSP likes him now. Slater was standing around by himself for quite a while while they presumably were doing TV poo poo, and during that time the crowd started a big "Slater!" chant, and he looked so happy . Randy Orton did the Hogan ear-cupping thing to big boos, and it owned. The RKO was dope. Shaemus is dumb. Mean "WOOOO, BY GOD" Gene struggled for like 30 seconds to get up the steps and into the ring, and I was like "aww, he's so old ." Mammoth pop when Hogan revealed his nWo shirt. Probably the loudest of the night. The shameless $9.99 references were funny, especially when the candles on Hogan's cake were "9.99" and Cena was like "$9.99? THAT'S ALL IT COSTS TO WATCH SUMMERSLAM ON THE WWE NETWORK!"

TheJoker138 posted:Because he's obviously not having an affair with her and Steph paid her to say it, hope this helps. You're not getting my point. It'd be more plausible if it were someone attractive. When Edge cheated, he got Alicia Fox. Bryan got a completely random and ordinary looking woman trained by Lance loving Storm. Do you see what I'm getting at? It's obvious Steph is lying, but the lie in itself is a dig. It's saying "Hi, I'm Daniel Bryan, and the way the WWE portrays me is as a giant moron" and they just didn't need to do that. They did it anyway. They have tons of models laying around, but Bryan? nah. It seems like, and I dunno if this is a thing, a meta-insult, and a totally unnecessary one. If you're gonna tell a lie, tell a good one. This lie is lovely and everyone acted like it was some blockbuster on commentary. If they laughed it off, that's one thing. But they didn't. They actually plausibly said that Daniel Bryan is potentially enough of a moron to cheat on his model wife with a butterface, ergo, vis a vis, he is a moron. I really dislike any storyline involving like marriage and cheating and whatnot, and this is the worst version of this storyline yet. This isn't worse than Claire Lynch, but the fact that it's even in the ballpark is a problem because that was some repugnant poo poo. i really hope it gets dropped on smackdown and isn't some thing they keep doing. God raw was terrible. I'm not even negative normally. This was just loving terrible. 4 good promos and then poo poo the rest of the night. And I LOVED the promos! Heyman killed it, Dean was great, Cesaro/Swagger was fun until the finish... but the rest... ye gods. E: a funny cap-end, but I could see how Daniel could fall for a Lance Storm girl. "Oh baby, your omoplata is so smooth. OOO, yea girl, pick that ankle." cucka fucked around with this message at 07:08 on Aug 12, 2014 |

It still seems weird for WWE, who have models out the rear end, can't cart out a hottie so at least the crowd goes "Wow, Dan's the man" or whatever. They coulda got more out of it to kinda upsell Bryan and they went the exact opposite way. E: I'm not saying they are burying him, I'm saying they could be doing him favors and they aren't. Seriously, if someone like Kelly Kelly (but not her, oh god no) was the mistress, at the very least, people who bought it in story would be like "well, she's pretty, so that makes sense." It's not the daniel bryan factor that bugs me, it's that it makes zero sense. cucka fucked around with this message at 07:11 on Aug 12, 2014 |

Daniel Bryan posted:You weren't supposed to believe he was actually cheating on Brie. How she looked doesn't matter when you get that part. Again, you're missing the point. Coherent story telling would have the mistress have some sort of trait that would make her wantable compared to his current wife. There's no good reason for any of it. It's sloppy story telling and that's what annoys me. Just randomly drag out some Lance Storm trainee with no build up and a generic adultery angle that makes no sense as Bryan seems like the last guy on earth to do that. The first rule of lying is to tell good lies. Steph told a lovely lie. That's bad story telling. There's no conflict there. There COULD be. But we know it's bs from the start, and the resolution was the lied to party being arrested. Just think for one second, is he into her because instead of sex they amateur wrestle all night? He's literally been married what, 2 months? And already an adultery angle? At this rate, he'll fake cheat on her 7 times before he retires. E: it annoys me more from a writing perspective than anything else. It's vapid as gently caress.
