Orton always looks bored. Even when he pretends to be angry he looks bored. Aside from a few notable examples I think it's easy to say that Orton does not give a poo poo. He just looks like what Vince thinks a wrestler should look like. Foley match was his best, IMO. His work with Evolution vs The Shield was amazing, but he was 1 of 6 making that happen. I loved the Bryan Mania match for obvious reasons, but I couldn't tell you a single thing Orton did in that match. Shocking I have more memories of The Miz doing stuff than Orton. Like I remember when Orton flipped out at Kofi for being out of position for a spot, Orton accidentally putting his foot through the monitor hole in the announcing table, and the time he inexplicably did a high jump and touched his toes. Oh and when he started feuding with a 5 foot girl who throws fire in his face and makes him cough up goo. Which honestly is the best stuff I've seen him do since the Foley match.

Raskolnikov38 posted:this. the people that wanted to see him in AEW were baffling to me I watched Tyler Black in ROH and always thought that WWE is where he would do the best because he had "something", but not something I liked or wanted. I got a very sports entertainment vibe from him. And then he went to WWE and he's not done bad. Orton is kinda the same thing. Orton belongs in WWE. He has that WWE look and is generally reliable to give the type of match they like. It's tough to imagine him being in AEW or New Japan. He didn't give a poo poo when he was 25 or 30. He certainly doesn't give a poo poo at 40. And pretty much everyone in AEW gives a poo poo. He has a great look, a good entrance song people pop for, and the RKO. Aside from that... I dunno. I understand why other wrestlers like working with him. I think even I could have a passable match with him within 20 minutes notice. There's the lock up, he does some safe moves, I do some safe moves, he gets me in a headlock, eventually I'm thrown out of the ring and get the DDT off the second rope and then get kicked in the head or take the RKO and bam I'm chilling at the Waffle House by 10pm. Not a bad day at work.That doesn't mean he is entertaining.

collocation posted:I don't know if you're being ironic about the funny goo (and I may not know if I am being ironic sometimes when it comes to things related to The Fiend either, for that matter), but the Funhouse match with Cena was my favorite "match" of all time, and I am hoping that this all leads to one, since I sure as hell don't need to see Bray or 2021 Orton in a regular rear end match. (In the leadup to a Funhouse match at Mania, I would also be glad to see Orton Vs Orton (whether it's weird cut shots and body doubles or like the Fight Club boss scene) or Orton Vs Bray's invisible Fiend spirit.) I really enjoyed Orton cutting a promo on Orton on Monday. It was dumb as gently caress, but dumb as gently caress in a way that is much better than normal boring and tedious Raw promos and matches. I'm totally not being ironic. I love the weird supernatural stuff. I know it's not for everyone, but I love it. I loved Undertaker vs. Undertaker and would love to see Randy vs. Randy although I don't know how you could pull that off without a LOT of work and obviously no live crowd. But the story is fun. But I also think Wyatt and Alexa Bliss is the best thing in WWE right now so I'm clearly not with general consensus. And you're right about him trying. He would not try. I mean aside from the Foley match I don't know if I've ever seen him try as much as he has against the henchwoman of The Fiend, who hasn't been seen for months. At this point I'd rather see Randy vs Bliss at Wrestlemania.

Raskolnikov38 posted:wait, did Bryan think shutting off the lights would make the explosions stand out more at least Yeah because it would be fireworky and you wouldn't be able to tell that Mox and Omega weren't hit and then they can turn the lights on and all you see is the aftermath. Although the smoke is always more impressive. Of course the general concept is based on the idea that they knew the explosion was going to be mistimed and be a dud. I mean, imagine if they had turned off the lights at this big climactic match and you just saw sparklers going up.

davidbix posted:The original Shawn Michaels class has always been insistent that he was in there doing drills, workouts, etc. with them. But it's also clear that Rudy Boy Gonzalez was heavily involved, as both the original class and the later students all have Rudy Boy's distinct footwork style in the ring. I was in a few classes after Danielson and Rudy Boy did 99% of it. Shawn would come in every other week or so for a little while. What's sad is that when he came in and helped train we all got it so quickly. Like what would take Rudy Boy 3 days to poorly teach us, Shawn could get us better within minutes.

Gaz-L posted:That's really interesting, because I think it was said that Shawn wasn't going to be good as an agent for NXT because so much of it comes naturally to him and he has trouble articulating why you'd do X at Y time. I can only go from my own experience but teaching us very basic stuff like bodyslams he was really good at. Like under Rudy Boy we were dropping each other on our heads, but Shawn came in and I picked him up for a slam (with the explicit warning I was not going to slam him) and the entire class figured out how to do it. A very simple move but the way he worked it out for us was very helpful.

It's always possible to tighten stuff up, but to me it's like McDonald's versus a 18 course dinner at a fancy restaurant. McDonalds is going to be McDonalds but even if I forget the 6th course of my fancy dinner I remember liking it when I was eating it. This might be a dumb analogy.

Including Billy Joe Travis going wild with shoot guitar shots. Cactus is something else. Like how do you think a planned spot with Vader powerbombing you on the concrete would go? How do you think a planned spot where you are thrown off the top of HITC would go? Both pretty much went how anyone other than Cactus would expect.

Jerusalem posted:Apparently Ember Moon had a long match with Dakota Kai that ended in a DQ when Gonzalez ran down to attack Ember, and Ember managed to take her out. Bryan said the match ended up feeling like a complete waste of time and they should have let Ember beat Dakota first to give her some credibility as a potential threat, then did the attack afterwards. Dave argued that nobody will remember or care about the match itself, just that Ember Moon was standing tall at the end. This is not a hill I would twist my ankle on, let alone die on.
