Chris Amman is the real life version of Dr. Nick Riviera from The Simpsons. Or Dr. Leo Spaceman from 30 Rock.

Teddybear posted:Deadspin (via Bix) reporting based off of public court records that Amann was in a sexual relationship with Jillian Hall while he was her doctor. Moronic from a code of conduct POV. But sometimes life and love happen. But Jillian Hall really raises questions as she suffered a lot from alcohol and substance abuse during and prior to her WWE. Him being a doctor I have serious questions about the power dynamic in a relationship such as that. rovert fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Jun 15, 2018 |

Tato posted:It's kind of amazing that RAW hasn't had a real champ for so long. Owens was a joke and barely defended, Goldberg was a short term thing, and Brock is gone 90% of the time and has the same poo poo match every time he comes back. I can explain this. The title means nothing. It's The Big Dog Roman Reigns who is teh most important thing on RAW, and the only thing all the wrestlers and commentators should care about. Having the title and the title holder on screen would only distract from that. Having the title actually defended takes time away that could be used on hilarious overly scripted segments featuring men in dresses. And re: Amman. Given he has admitted in open court to violating HIPAA, distributing prescription medicine without prescription or proper records, and to having a relationship with a current patient. Will he suffer any consequences? I mean proper legal consequences, because the HIPAA thing has to be illegal, the relationship thing is at best creepy and unethical, and there has to be some rules about the unauthorized distribution of drugs by a medical professional. Can he be charged with any of that stuff? Is he risking being struck from the medical register, or at least some sort of punishment? Because it would be hilarious if after the WWE bankrolling and possibly putting him up to sue Punk and Cobana, he faced some actual substantive legal difficulties of his own.

Big Coffin Hunter posted:the universal title is a joke outside of, like, that one month goldberg had it No, that was the biggest joke of all. The Universal Title was a joke when it was revealed and Brooklyn poo poo on it. Then Finn Balor made it not a joke for roughly 24 hours. Then he vacated it and Owens won it and he was booked like poo poo, so it became a joke again, but Owens and Jericho were still basically carrying Raw. Then Goldberg squashed Owens and Owens went from "poorly booked champion but still working extremely hard to make all of his matches and segments watchable" to "chump that got squashed at Fastlane fighting for the midcard title second from the top at Mania." and he literally has not recovered to this day. And Goldberg went from "unstoppable badass on completely awesome run, beloved by all" to "squashed a fan favorite to win a title that made him less over. Belt pillow for Lesnar." Goldberg squashing Owens is the moment the Universal Championship died. I firmly believe this.

We're gonna have to disagree on this because Jericho letting Goldberg be Goldberg all over the title and the greatest 5 minute match in at least WWE history at Mania were the only cool things that happened with the title. KO's reign wasn't great but if he was going to be squashed for the title all three players in that made it really fun in Goldberg being Goldberg, Jericho being Jericho and the booking leading to his arrival, and KO was great at stalling for 4 or 5 minutes in entertaining ways

The Universal Title match at WM33 should've been Jericho vs. Owens. I 100% believe this.

Niwrad posted:I agree with this. At least in that case, there was a reason to make that rematch as big as possible by having the title in there, and it was the sequel to the biggest drawing match of all times. There's a line of logic there. (My unsatisfied smarky rear end still thinks it should've been a triple threat to just fuckin' give Punk his main event, I don't see how that draws less than Twice in a Lifetime). WM33 wasn't on pay per view, so, no such logic applies. Also, again, I feel like Goldberg became a belt pillow when he won the title. It made the fact that he was losing way too obvious. Not that him losing wasn't already pretty obvious, but it being a title match made it beyond a shadow of a doubt

STONE COLD 64 posted:i think a UK+Europe thread is a good idea since its gaining its own identity apart from american indies especially with how wwe's tentacles and the ITV deal are reshaping things. Yes I think posting a WWE UK thread is a good idea. Since WWE is putting first round matches up on the Network/Youtube over the next week or so, it's free range to talk about them. Just keep in mind not everybody is gonna be able to watch everything all at once, so try to avoid blurting out all the results immediately if not necessary, give people a chance to actually see the matches first. Edit: Somebody from the UK is probably best suited to making the thread, but anybody who feels they have sufficient knowledge could make one too.

JitteryComa posted:Isn't that the record they broke? Because Demolition was suing WWE or something? The history of WWE's tag titles is convoluted as hell. If I remember right it's something like: -World Tag Team Championships introduced, doesn't continue WWWF Tag lineage -World Tag absorbs WCW Tag -World Tag becomes Raw exclusive in the brand split -WWE Tag introduced as Smackdown exclusive -WWE Tag wins when they merge the brands, but doesn't absorb lineage of World Tag for some reason -WWE Tag becomes Raw Tag in the 2nd brand split -Smackdown Tag introduced So the lineage belts are gone, the old Smackdown titles are the new Raw titles, and the Smackdown titles are new. That's not even getting into what they did with the Big Gold Belt and all the midcard belts in the 2000s either.

Man, that 90 minute New Day/Elite video was literally just them sitting and playing video games and it was loving enthralling. WWE is squandering some amazing talent in The New Day, and what makes it worse is that they're probably one of the groups that actually gets some freedom to express themselves on a show. Edit: Speaking of tag teams, it looks like The Bludgeon Brothers vs The Good Brothers has been shifted to the pre-show, and that The Deleters of Worlds vs The B Team isn't even mentioned in WWE's PPV rundown?

Regarding B-Team vs Deleters of Worlds, are they going to take this match seriously and squash Bo and Axel, (there is an argument that this would be good as the DoW are former tag champs I think, and really shouldn't be pushed or beaten by the comedy jobbers), or are they going to tap into the wellspring of goofy awesome that all 4 men have?

BrigadierSensible posted:Actively squandering it no less. This is a reminder that creative are constantly trying to break New Day up and have them do the standard TagTeam101 thing. It truly bothers me that WWE and it's writers see people using their own creativity and charisma to get themselves over, and think to themselves "hey, I bet what would make this better if I interfered and tried to make it just like everything else" The writers write for Vince, and Vince doesn't like tag teams. Teamwork is socialism. Real men don't have friends.
