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

Sebastian · Post #41 » by **Sebastian** » Wed Jan 9, 2013 10:37 pm

By the way, you guys are making it way too hard for me to avoid the SD spoilers. So. Tempting. I think I'll have to avoid this thread until Saturday.

Well that's sad. Graham was an actual wrestler. I knew what was going on, and I don't have a clue.

Something needs to be done about his promos, though. Whether it was his idea or creatives to have him huff and puff and make silly metaphors about eating in an effort to be intense, it needs to evolve into something better quickly. The guy is gonna have to talk if he's going to be a main eventer with a possible WHC match at Mania.

Is there really a huge clamoring for Ryback promos? He's been successful so far without them.

His promos are terrible. At this point, I think he needs a manager to do the talking for him...they should limit him to only saying "Feed Me More" and "Finish Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttt!!!!!"

You forgot "Stupid!" and "I hit hard!"

Yeah, it's kind of sad. They were comments during a scripted television program, not an out of character interview on Howard Stern or something. Hard to believe that he took it like a personal attack. He is pretty sick with his liver condition and probably on a lot of meds -- I'll give him a pass for probably not thinking clearly.

I was speaking more towards the future. You can probably count the number of guys who have had sustained main event success without talking on one hand. His promos as Skip Sheffield sucked and his promos as Ryback have sucked. You need to eventually engage the crowd and move a feud along in more than just a caveman way.

Stupid! Is my favorite. It's the only one that doesn't ever become annoying to me.

I like "Stupid!" too. It's the only one that really makes sense in the flow of a match. He always says it after his opponent tries and fails to hurt him. I don't need to be told that the giant monster of a man that looks like more like a comic book superhero than a real person actually hits hard. I already assume as much.

On Friday's SmackDown, AJ Lee will team up with Dolph Ziggler in a mixed tag match against Natalya and the Great Khali. AJ Lee is teasing on Twitter that fans should tune in to see a possible wardrobe malfunction:

"If you need two words that aren't 'The Rock' to convince you to watch Smackdown this week, here they are: wardrobe malfunction."

Hope she's talking about Dolph! Beefcake.

Yep, it works. "Mental Machine" on the other hand......

Main Event is the only WWE show I get to watch on my TV, but the reception was terrible yesterday. What I like best is they give the matches a lot of time. They have a very talented roster right now, so I hope their better wrestlers are given time to shine.

If I don't see Zigglers hog before he retires I consider him a bust.

Tyson Kidd out for 10-12 months with a fractured knee and torn ACL. Sucks for Kidd as he might have got a little push off of Punk mentioning him in his last promo.

Vandal Savage · Post #54 » by **Vandal Savage** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 5:07 am

I guess he's not winning the rumble.

Post #55 » by **jr lucosa** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 5:31 am

Thats rough for Tyson Kidd. I'll miss seeing him compete on Superstars, maybe he can do more than just that when he returns.

Post #56 » by **pduh01** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 5:37 am

Bad break for Tyson Kidd I was hoping finally that he and Justin get a push at least in the tag team division.

Lawl, made you highlight.

Ive completely soured on the rock since his "comeback" with the exception of a few promos last year thought Cena out-shined him a majority of the time during their feud, I can only imagine what Punk is going to do, Rock is doing what Cena has been critiqued for doing his whole career...Dwayne (Lawl) seems to busy trying to promote new catch phrases, and kissing the WWE universes ass, after he beat Cena I was hoping wed no longer see him and we see the return of SCSA, now that wouldve been something

his return also kinda fvks over Ryback, wth is he going to do until WM no way do I see him keeping his momentum if hes out of the title picture until WM

Who's idea was it to let Big E talk?

He is terrible.

So I might have to watch smackdown today to see what went down then.
