Roman delivered his promo pretty well, but boy oh boy was it a stupid loving promo. "I really hope I don't get in trouble for what I'm about to say on this scripted show!" miss me with that WCW-rear end poo poo, Vince. Not to mention how scummy it is to basically false advertise Lesnar for this Raw just so Roman can get fake angry about it when he doesn't show up.

Man, between that Roman promo and the Rousey stuff last night where they went out of the way to make sure Rousey basically said "No, I don't want any perks, I want to travel in the same horrible meat-grinder of a schedule as everybody else!" ... gently caress Hulk Hogan for being a loving rat.

The_Rob posted:I mean say what you want about punk, but when that dude sounded like he was against the company and the system he sounded for real. Roman is a guy who has done nothing but benefit from the system why should I give a poo poo if he's breaking protocol. Basically, yeah. Punk's poo poo worked because he was literally just drawing from his very real experiences. He was actually pissed off and everybody understood why. Roman the golden child chosen one trying to suddenly Get Real is the most ridiculous thing ever. The only worked shoot promo Roman could ever cut is on the fans. "gently caress you people for booing me" et al, but, whoops, he'd have to be a heel for that and for SOME loving REASON we still can't do that.

Benne posted:Last year's Raw after Mania is incredible in hindsight. Roman comes out to open the show, bathes in the vicious crowd boos after retiring Taker, then delivers the best promo of his life in 5 words. Everybody loved it and thought it was a star-making moment for Roman's new shithead character. Literally a week later, Roman was the underdog "how will he prevail against these odds?!" babyface again.

It'd probably be a little better if it turns out that HHH and Steph were threatening Jason Jordan's job, not Kurt's. Kurt straight up said that if HHH tries to gently caress with him again, then he can take the job and shove it up his rear end.

On one side you have "You have to listen to your bosses and that's bad!" while on the other side you have "He doesn't listen to his bosses and that's bad!" Chad Gable, Shelton Benjamin, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens all agreed with this post, but a ref overturned it, so now only Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens agree with it. Astro7x posted:Sure...

Corbin once said that he was gonna win the Royal Rumble, then he was gonna win the WWE Championship in the Elimination Chamber and the main event of Wrestlemania would be him saying "I told you so." and then going home. That's why the IWGP Heavyweight Champion participates in the G1. (also NJPW recently had the champs run the table in their Super Junior Tag Tournament which is a few steps below the G1 but it's the same basic premise and that worked out fine)

Jerusalem posted:I really like Big Show but the last decade or so has demonstrated that he is a hell of a lot healthier (and probably happier) when he isn't constantly on the road. Every lengthy hiatus he took always ended with him being in great shape and looking years younger, and then after a few months on the road he was fat as poo poo again. His last run was pretty solid and he kept in shape pretty well, and if he is done now I really hope he is able to relax and stay healthy and just make the odd appearance to KO Punch a heel or something. imo he really put an exclamation point on his career with the Strowman feud, so if he ends it on that note, great for him. Although apparently, he really hates just showing up to KO Punch someone and then leave.

My first reaction to hiring Spud to be the GM was that it wasn't a good hire because why wouldn't you take the chance to hire somebody that can get a real reaction from the crowd since that's what 205 Live needs but he's just been absolutely great.

Roman's matches with Braun were Very Good and are some of the only times I'm willing to give Roman a lot of credit for having good matches and not just being carried to one by a world-class worker or a No DQ stip, but the only reason Braun's best matches are with Roman are 1) They handicapped the poo poo out of Brock's matches with Braun by 1) Not playing to his strengths in the first one, 2) Adding loving Kane to the second one. 2) Braun hasn't fought anybody else that's really worth a lot in a major singles match that got real time. The closest I can think of is the Sami Zayn Last Man Standing match and that's about on the level of the Roman matches, honestly, with a less experienced Strowman than the one Roman got for their singles matches to boot.

Feels Villeneuve posted:There's a big difference between getting the win and getting put over and I don't know what to say if you don't get the significance of someone beating all but one guy in a multi-man match and then immediately destroying the winner of the match and walking away standing tall. The significance of Braun pinning everybody was for him to then get pinned by Roman and the significance of him killing Roman was to pop the crowd because they all hate Roman and they want Braun as a backup plan in case one of Roman or Lesnar can't go. Braun and Roman didn't interact at all the night after Elimination Chamber. Him standing tall is going to have meant absolutely nothing if the steroids or UFC poo poo doesn't pan out.

Maybe figure out a feud for the super over monster guy at your biggest show of the year BEFORE you realize you're a month away and there's no room on the card. If only you had pay per views to set up Mania feuds in advance so you didn't have to cobble them together on Raw weeks before the show. If only.

Feels Villeneuve posted:"loser lays out the winner" almost never ever works and I don't know why they do it so often. It was especially stupid to do since the guy getting laid out is about to main event the biggest show of the year. They did it because everybody hates the guy who won and they wanted to pop the crowd but don't actually want to give them what they want. I dunno what you're not getting about this. It's the same thing as having Roman be eliminated by the winner of the Rumble but main event WrestleMania every year anyway.

Gaz-L posted:Roman's inside Brock's guard when Brock shoot puts him into a triangle and Vince runs to the ring, screams "COUNT MOTHERFUCKER!" and the ref gives the fastest 3-count in history. Wrestlemania 34 ends with Brock spelling U - F - C with his fingers. Aphrodite posted:It seems likely that was the plan at first, but then stuff with Brock broke down so they want to keep Braun as a backup for the main event, but need to build something for the IC title now so it's going to be just a big clusterfuck multi-man match as usual. Then Braun can be put in there if things work out with Brock. I think the idea was he gets murdered by Braun then gets a big push post-Mania, presumably either being a challenger for Roman or going back to SmackDown and challenging Nakamura. Andrast posted:I don't want Braun anywhere near that garbage This wouldn't happen in real life but the perfect version of that match would have both HHH and Steph be just absolutely terrified of their respective opponent and constantly trying to tag out and throw their spouse to the wolves, which I think would be extremely loving entertaining.

My take was that Braun is there in case A) Things get too hot with Roman and they have to pull him. B) Brock and UFC make some kinda power play. Basically, in case either side of that main event falls apart, Braun steps in. Aphrodite posted:He is. Brock reentered testing in July. Dana White said he didn't, so, you're probably right.

I mean for better or worse when the WWE style is defined by kicking out of big moves, Roman having almost none besides his finisher is sub optimal and leads to this situation where commentary tries to sell the loving Superman Punch as a threat to end a match.

Good stuff. Got Roman super over.
