The men's ladder match should be good, not sure how well the women's MITB will work but hoping it will be good. Shinsuke/AJ will hopefully finally have a proper ending to a match.

Honestly I'm surprised it got that many, considering E3 and the big political story of the day. It certainly didn't help the show hasn't exactly been on fire recently, of course.

WWE PPVs are always a crapshoot, you can generally rely on MITB at least to have one match that is crazy and/or exciting and justify watching the show, a Chicago crowd is usually pretty on fire, and I'm still holding out hope that they FINALLY allow an AJ/Nakamura match to have a proper ending.

Xerzes posted:The recap of Smackdown didn't mention Bryan's really good promo, that I noticed. It was really good. Unless I missed another promo, it was the one he delivered last week (but only on WWE.com) so I didn't bring it up. It's pretty galling to think they probably only bothered to show it because it generated a bit of buzz.

piss tape israel posted:If this company gave a poo poo 205 Live would air before SmackDown when the crowd is eager to get warmed up It still utterly baffles me that this isn't the case, even more so than the fact 205 Live is supposed to be (it's largely been abandoned) a subsidary of the Raw brand but has always aired Tuesday nights directly after Smackdown.

Spikeguy posted:This modern era is so bullshit too. Because that's such a nothing line. When did the modern era begin? When will it end? Is it not always the loving modern era? UGH WORDS MEAN THINGS! Every time I hear it I think the same thing - in 20 years are they going to be talking about "the modern era" of two decades earlier? I guess it's kinda like when "The new Generation" was their thing and they almost never talk about that anymore for obvious reasons.

Yeah, AJ was pushed hard from the start. It's silly to say otherwise.OldTennisCourt posted:Yeah man they'll spend an enormous amount of money to acquire the best wrestler on Earth and have him get squashed by Big Show. As we all know WWE is run by reverse-vampire demons who survive on the tears of wrestling fans. I only wish they were competent enough to be working in conjunction with the Rand Corporation

Benne posted:Reminder that when AJ first came in WWE insisted on calling the 39-year-old, 15+ year veteran "the rookie redneck." They called him this multiple times a show, for weeks on end. He got to debut in the Royal Rumble instead of on NXT, got immediately put into a feud with a top star in Jericho, transitioned from that into wrestling for the title in a feud with Roman Reigns, then had a feud with John Cena in which he only got beaten in a multi-man tag, then won the title from Dean Ambrose. All this in roughly 8-9 months from his debut, fighting nothing but top guys and being treated as a legitimate threat/star the entire time.

I do think a lot of it also stems from the fact that in the past, he had to adapt and change or else he'd die. But he's won now. The wars are over, the competition are gone or owned by him or so tiny as to be inconsequential. Now he doesn't have to change his vision, which you can guarantee he ALWAYS thought was right in the past and he hated every second that he had to accept he was in the wrong and react accordingly. Now if people reject his hand-picked golden boy, he doesn't have to care, because his position is so secure now, the momentum of the juggernaut that is his company is so unstoppable, that he can happily just keep doubling down. Not only can he get away with it, he's rewarded for it with giant TV deals and huge influxes of cash. That is probably the most galling thing, because as far as he is concerned he probably feels he is proving that he was right all along, because the bottom line doesn't lie.

rovert posted:Mods/elders are we doing WWE UK thread? WWE are posting matches on Youtube? 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.

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? Edit Edit: Yep! "WWE.com posted:WWE Champion AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (Last Man Standing Match) Jerusalem fucked around with this message at 08:29 on Jun 15, 2018 |

As others have mentioned in regards to The New Day, I believe Kofi has straight up said that if The New Day wasn't a thing, he'd just retire. Can't say I blame him too, he spent most of his career floundering and never really getting to deliver on his potential but still probably made a good amount of money. Then The New Day made them all into bigger stars and extremely heavy merchandise movers and he's (hopefully) made bank since then.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" That amazing first run of the Shield run was supposed to be broken up earlier multiple times too, from memory. The only reason it didn't is because all three made a concerted effort to be united and shoot down every attempt they could in favor of just delivering incredible match after incredible match in front of red-hot crowds. It's weird, it's like they were stronger united than they were apart, almost like there was some strange strength and protection to be found in some form of.... union....?

Looks like after leaving WWE she did a little bit of wrestling here and there, including for TNA, then got married and had a couple of kids and is working at being a chef now.

Chris James 2 posted:Ellsworth came out and surprised Asuka so much she stared at him for almost exactly a minute, to the point where really I can't understand how obtuse someone would have to be to think she couldn't have avoided the superkick seven times over. It was clean because she waited long enough for it to be clean Just to be completely accurate: - She stared at Fakesuka for almost exactly a minute - Carmella tried to jump her - Asuka saw it coming and laid Carmella out - Asuka went back to staring at Fakesuka - Fakesuka revealed himself to be Ellsworth - Carmella superkicked Asuka and got the pin

One thing I loved about the Men's MITB was that Joe wasn't intimidated by BRAUN in the slightest and was ready to throw down with him at all points. Joe owns.
