Erebus posted:Brock Lesnar is loving boring and should go away forever I love Brock Lesnar, but I have to agree with this. How does he keep making these monthly appearances where absolutely nothing happens?

It's peak modern WWE that we have an unmotivated Brock facing Kane at for the title at a major PPV

Loved everything including Joe and Roman. Long term booking wasn't amazing but they put on some drat good wrestling tonight.

I can't believe I'm going to say this but WWE has worn out the idea of the locker room clearing out. It happens everytime Brock shows up.

Like most WWE things, it was awesome the first time (Brock/Taker) and then they just decided to do it over and over again with diminishing returns until everyone stopped giving a poo poo.

Samoa Joe is one of the bright spots in WWE. He is a godly promo. He needs to be heel forever.

Its a cool spot and I love it but it needs to be an actual brawl and it needs to escalate. Brock and Kane start fighting, the refs die in the process of stopping them, Angle tries to stop them and dies, the locker room clears out and all the jobbers get thrown into a trash compactor, and then the police shoot shoot Braun and Kane dead. The fight needs to escalate.

Alexa vs Asuka was not good. There were numerous flaws, but I think the one thing I can take away from this is that Alexa needs to lose the title as soon as possible. She hasn't had a compelling match in like...forever. Just have Asuka kill her (for the title) in a few minutes at RAW 25th or something and call it a day.

Dana Brooke is the only person who can pull a good match out of Asuka on the main roster. (Actually tonight’s match was solid after the break. Except for Asuka shorting about 4 dropkicks.) Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 06:33 on Jan 2, 2018 |

Maybe don't squash the young champion with good character work and something of a following.

I mean I understand why there isn't a secondary women's title but it kind of sucks, because while Alexa has great character work she isn't that great in ring. If she were able to work more in a mid card setting I think she could become great.

I still can't wrap my head around the idea of having Asuka vs Alexa on this Raw. Even the stuff with her going to get Nia to back her up smacked of the end of a long drawn out series of Alexa escaping Asuka's menace but now it has FINALLY caught up to her... except their first real interaction was last week and Asuka completely dominated it and KOed her. Then they had this long back and forth match tonight while Asuka wins and... I don't know where we go from here unless it is something REALLY dumb like Asuka winning the Rumble and then losing to Alexa (or Alexa getting DQed to retain or something). It feels rear end-backwards. projecthalaxy posted:It seems like we finally made it to the balor club factory I was thrilled to see the Club hanging out with Balor at last though.

I read today that the only two wrestlers to pin Roman clean are Finn and Seth. Is this actually true?

I'd say that Absolution would have originally attacked and interrupted the match, but with Paige getting injured they did a last minute change. Where were the rest of the women tonight, anyway? We've been getting multiple women's segments, but tonight it was only the Asuka/Alexa match (which was weirdly long, admittedly).

Well Sasha, Bayley and Absolution announced they were entering the Rumble, and Dana Brooke got involved in the Bray/Apollo match so I guess there was some presence even if there was only the one actual women's match. bartok posted:I think Ambrose pinned Roman clean in a three-way. My first thought was that Roman did get pinned by Ambrose yeah, though I don't remember specifics so maybe it was Seth who took the pin.

Roman speared Seth, Dean hit the ring, hit Dirty Deeds, pinned Roman. Frankly, Dean has lasted way longer than I thought he would without Roman getting that win back.

Is this "Jason Jordan tries to weasel his way in/appropriate the Shield" thing seem reminiscent of Disco Inferno's attempts to get into the nWo to anyone else? Or am I reading too much into it? Either way, I like that Jason Jordan has stuff to do, and a decent character with which to do said stuff.

Brock pinned Roman clean at Summerslam. And Braun beat him clean at Payback. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 07:26 on Jan 2, 2018 |

So there’s 21 active women on the main roster, 19 if you don’t count champions. That’s a lot of room to fill.

- Gallows & Anderson both seemed pretty jazzed and I can't blame them. I hope this leads to good things for all three guys. Wonder if G&A are going face or Balor's going heel. - How the hell are they gonna find 30 women for that Royal Rumble. - Goldust owns and is the best. Him taking twenty minutes to do a high cross while Gulak and Daivari just stood there waiting for it was my everything. - The finish of that Asuka/Bliss match comes off pretty weird on Youtube, Asuka just hooking the Armbar out of nowhere. Dunno if it was like that on TV. Anyway, Asuka beating Bliss on Raw makes me terrified that she'll challenge for the belt at the Rumble, win it, then lose it to loving Rousey or something at the Rumble. - They spent like all of 2017 being very careful with Roman and Samoa Joe, whenever they met one-on-one. They would use some trickery (usually Strowman) to make it so Joe won, even if they did it in a way that made the victory not mean much, Joe was always the one getting his hand raised. I ASSUMED that they were doing this to build a story where Samoa Joe had never lost to Roman one-on-one so that he could challenge Roman at a PPV, either for the IC Title or the Universal Title and the story would be that Joe has Roman's number so that there are points where you can actually believe that Roman will lose. Instead, Roman just beat the poo poo out of him last week and then beat him clean in the first Raw of 2018. Toss Samoa Joe on the trash heap with literally everybody else except Brock, then toss Brock on the trash heap three months from now. Great. I really just don't give a poo poo how many good matches Roman has, as long as the storytelling is this awful, I'm never gonna get invested in him. They've done this like three loving times now, taken somebody who had a win over Roman, somebody who he could've had a PPV match for the Universal Title with at some point and then he just beats them with one Spear on Raw. gently caress off. Aphrodite posted:Brock pinned Roman clean at Summerslam. Roman was taped to the gills and the announcers were screaming about how he was injured at 3.000000000001, this came after Roman had beaten him clean at Fastlane and they did an angle after where Roman ~got his heat back~ by beating the poo poo out of Strowman, which, whoops, caused Braun to need surgery and knocked him out for two months. I would say the win at Payback rings pretty hollow but I guess it's a small miracle that Strowman hasn't been pinned with one Spear on Raw yet too.

Women's Rumble could just be 20 people instead of 30, or maybe they'll use a bunch of NXT people.

Molestationary Store posted:Women's Rumble could just be 20 people instead of 30, or maybe they'll use a bunch of NXT people. Angle confirmed it'd be 30 women tonight. There's 22 women on the main roster. Take away Paige (injured) and the champions, that's 19, leaving 11 slots to be filled. Between NXT and the possibly of former women coming back for a surprise appearance, and the possible return of Nikki Bella, it shouldn't be too hard to fill those 11 spots.
