Yeah he had a match tonight. Announcers kept trying to get over the fact that he doesnt blink which is not the gimmick I'd want if I was a wrestler.


The triple threat is great ASMR if you don't look at the screen. Aside from the commentary all you hear is meat smacking and heavy breathing.

Is HHH aware that he's allowed to book Keith Lee against other people?

This was supposed to be their wrestlemania weekend match which would wrap everything up before going into post wrestlemania season with presumably new stuff.

It ain't in any way good wrestling or TV but the Sam Shaw/Dexter run was some weird as gently caress skits from him stalking Christy Hemme, to Anderson researching his life, to him being tossed in the mental ward and Gunner randomly coming across him while visiting PTSD vets and deciding to help him, to Santana Garrett sexually manipulating him.

That poo poo was weird.

Although its one of the rare cases where wrestling talent actually watched the show because Christy Hemme went on one date with Shaw, went home and saw all the creepy poo poo he did behind her back, and was like "Dude, stay away from me!" the next week. That surprised the poo poo out of me.

Of all the gimmicks they choose to continue after a TNA transfer.

People too impatient with keith lee. Let him feud with the undisputed era for 9 months, 4 months of ziggler, 6 months of corbin, lose an IC title shot, 4 months of him and a partner vs ziggler and a partner, 3 month feud when his partner turns on him, lose a money in the bank, elimination chamber, and king of the ring, and if he can do all this without being injured once he might get a US title run after winning it on a preshow. Pfft you guys wanting your day 1 rumble and world title wins from a full timer.

I know it's the WWE thread and all but It's telling the difference in ideologies between them and AEW when Marko Stunt can get more offense in on Lance Archer during a crowdless pretaped TV debut squash match than Ricochet can get in on Brock during a PPV title match

Prince Puma was so fuckin cool

I didn't like Marko getting sold offense. Him using agility to desperately dodge attacks was cool tho. Now I know Ricochet is a high flier but he's super strong and isn't itty bitty so he shoulda got SOMETHING against Brock.

Burt Buckle posted:

I remember a few years ago listening to Wrestling Observer Radio, my memory is a bit fuzzy, but I believe somebody within the company thought they didn’t need Ricochet because they had Neville as their high flyer, and Dave thought that was absurd because Neville, while good, was no Ricochet.

How the tables have turned. We were all fools to not realize that Ricochet is a talentless jobber.

Actually using a microphone, Twitter, and wwe writing/booking. Only the most elite indy stars can survive exposure to all 3 without irreparable damage.

Braun having a world title match in this situation is hilarious for a guy they should've pulled the trigger on 3? years ago

What's hilarious is they could have pushed Roman to the moon after he came back from beating cancer and finally gotten the crowd reaction they so desperately wanted for him but did nothing. Same poo poo with Daniel Bryan when he returned. Surprised they didn't have Edge feud with Baron Corbin or Dolph Ziggler after the Rumble. Maybe they will rehire Big Cass for Edge's next match after Orton.

Also didn't do anything with Sami, 2017 Rollins, and Sasha returns. I guess they're just afraid they'll get hurt again so their first 6 months back is super bleh. The era of injury return guys winning the rumble then getting the title is over.

WWE's got no one built up and ready to break through because WWE doesn't do things like that anymore. But like people got excited for Kofi based on one match and Becky based on a broken nose and some promos. They got up for Cedric Alexander losing in a RAW main event. So WWE fans will always get hot if WWE throws some weight behind a talent, ANY weight. Hence the talks of that weird time people got behind Cas because WWE spent a few weeks kinda booking him well. Its why the complaints about the place being too negative are silly. No one's saying anything positive because they don't have anything positive to say. But if WWE suddenly gave Apollo Crews a push into the main event the place would go on "Apollo-Mania!" And then when WWE blew it or had Brock squash him we'd be back here.

Nobody's going "Apollo-mania". Dude is the living embodiment of 'Just happy to be here ^_^'. Kofimania wasnt just a better done Jinder experiment, it was a story that was an entire career's worth in the making.

As soneone who never got on the Koftrrain as it was clearly meant to be the Ali Express and Kofi was just slotted in like another cog this has been all exciting to not watch. WWE had enpugh problems with its title scene before extended gold watch reigns that were not a part of a rrue storyline but because they had no plans.

If Kofi was to win the title tomorrow and no ones around does it make a pop?

Ali was probably gonna lose tho. I swear 90% of Kofimania was Big E and Xavier giving everything to push it.

There's a reddit topic asking what people are looking forward to the most tonight. People are just..........bluntly listing matches. Either there's a list out there somewhere or 'the match I wanna see might not be on tonight' just literally never crossed a bunch of people's minds.

Most popular answer is the boneyard match for what its worth.

Honestly my main takeaway watching this clip is how loving ugly the monochromatic look for SmackDown is. Obviously it's accentuated when you have a wrestler in a blue bodysuit with blue hair, but for all the emphasis WWE puts on THE BRAND it's funny they just crapped out "One show blue, other show red!" and had that be the defining design choice for their flagship broadcast shows

How am I supposed to know which show I'm watching otherwise
