WWE TV Thread: NINE finishers later... Cena kicks out!

Cesaro/Orton was a really good match.

Rhodes Scholars and The Rock was a great segment.

Main event was really good. Ending was surprising imo. Will be interesting to see where they take it. The WHC is really up in the air now and is heading into a direction I wasn't expecting. ADR as a face champ will be different.

big e langston just licked his lips at hornswoggle and would make for an extremely creepy gif

I can't think of anything else he's good for.

That was a pretty good Last Man Standing match. Del Rio actually seemed to get quite a pop when he won.

I laughed when they said they were going to make Del Rio a face. After years of building him up as a heel and then the whole Santa thing (still doesnt make all that much sense), they did a pretty good job with the turn.

Itll be interesting for some promos with him as a face. Either way, I dont see him holding the title long. Probably a face for Ziggy to cash in on. Probably when he has a rematch vs. Big Show at the rumble or something. Ziggler will have the belt come Wrestlemania.

This moment was huge for Del Rio and his career development though. I am interested in seeing what comes of him as a face. He for sure has the pure wrestling ability.

That was a solid smackdown! One of the best I've seen in recent time.

Let's .gif up that AJ wardrobe malfunction.

Definitely. He's never gotten cheered or booed that loud before, that was a really high quality match that had an ending you would've never expected if you avoided the spoilers or if they played smackdown live. If he can keep the crowd behind him that will be huge for him because he can definitely get it done inside the ropes.

That will definitely end up being a top 10 TV match this year, maybe top 5.

Rock promo was pretty boring until the interaction with Rhodes Scholars. Hopefully his promos evolve a bit from catch-phrases. childish insults, and pandering to the crowd. It's okay for a comeback promo, but it gets stale fast (see: Cena, John.)

In that match, I was a little surprised that AJ got the pin over Natalya. They had dolph lose to Cena on Raw and then he can't even get a clean win over The Great Khali? I also don't get why Big E Langston is affiliated with Dolph and AJ in any capacity. Neither one of them needs Big E.

And the rock is stale. He showcases his ability at times. Like when Sandow and him where going back and forth, but more often than not, he's just a bunch of catchphrases.

Loved that Show/Del Rio match. Had I not read the spoilers I most assuredly would have been stunned. I've liked Del Rio since that promo he did knocking all the illegal immigrants... However, I feel big show has paid his dues and was having the best matches and promo's of his career and he deserved to carry the title longer...

That is just so damn hot. Aj is probably my fave since going back to Trish days.

Faye Valentine is my spirit animal.

Even though she's probably talking Cowboy Bebop, Stanford should get it what I'm talking about...

I can't argue with that, although in the mid 2000's Trish took a backseat to Torrie Wilson, I use to love watching her matches. So.... much.... jiggling. :droop:

How bout Debra?!? She never gets any mention, I was a naughty kid when she would come out with that Black Bra and skirt.

whysoserious · Post #76 » by **whysoserious** » Sun Jan 13, 2013 6:10 pm

Debra was total MILF look. Torrie was nice too. I always like Kiebler and those long legs too.

Natalya should be the new age Trish, she is cute and can wrestle, I'm not sure why WWE has treated her the way they have.

You read my mind.

Yeah she can definitely do more than the roles they've put her in. Have to wonder if her being part of the Hart family has anything to do with the sort of humiliating situations she's been put in at times.

whysoserious · Post #78 » by **whysoserious** » Sun Jan 13, 2013 6:26 pm

I thought about the Hart connection and could see Vince and his vindictiveness but it made sense at the beginning and they gave the Hart Dynasty a solid run at the beginning but it completely fell off.

Then Bret made nice with everyone and has been used so I can't see why they'd do it long term. I wouldn't mind seeing Kidd join up with the Shield for his injustice. Makes sense with Punk mentioning him in that great promo.

At the same time, I like the Shield with just the three guys they have.

Speaking of the Shield, Ambrose is simply awesome. He has a certain swagger and stage presense. Little things he does with his face and stuff just for me stand out big time. He has the look of a heel world champion in the mould of a Ric Flair. Not at his level yet or anything but just can see him down the road like that.

Just saw that they're doing another Rock "concert" on Raw tomorrow. Does WWE or Rock still think these things are funny?

Oh god, please no. That was fine for his Cena program but this one has so much more potential. I'm hoping the Shield comes in and completely decimates the Rock. Leading to a more serious series of Rock promos with Punk.
