OT: The WWE Thread - Part 2

[F N 11]

You think New Day might make pushes for other titles?

I hope D-Von turns on Bubba and joins New Day.

Never happening. 3D is too much of an Iconic move. Inseparable. We need some TLC matches. Where is Jeff and Matt when we need them.

Cena picking up Seth for the attitude adjustment after getting frog splashed pissed me off. Just as Im getting back into wrestling. I always fast forward anything with Divas. Wrestling needs more entertaining guys. Wyatt family are cool. Maybe Y2J will come back if Randy Orton gets taken out again. My big thing is who is going to beat that black sheep dude. lol.

Alot of people hated Kurt Angle but I loved that guy. The Rock, Stone Cold...Miss the good old days.

Kurt Angle is one of the all-time greats. And no, Jericho coming back will not make wrestling more entertaining.

I really love a lot of the talent WWE has now, but I hate so many other things about the product. The characters lack maturity and an edge like they used to have. And I feel they can bring that back without using such foul language and degrading women and minorities lol. Shouldn't be that hard to make wrestling less PG and less PC, without crossing the line and alienating the younger crowd. Basically ruthless agression era without the sexism.

They need to change the presentation too, IMO. It feels cheesey and over-produced, whereas the attitude era set and presentation felt gritty and more like pro wrestling should. I undestand they want to modernize the product and utilize techonology and social media and all that.. but again.. I feel like it's something they could find a better middle ground on. The set looks too bright and too clean. It feels more like a broadway show than a sporting event. All the LED screens everywhere, the giant WWE logos EVERWHERE, the bright colors, the clean white ropes and ring posts. It just doesnt feel right. It feels corporate. It feels like a Disney thing. And I really miss the old days in that respect, because it does have an effect on the show. Colors and lighting can really effect the mood and vibes of the audience. That's why sports teams choose their color schemes so carefully, and why the arena's atmosphere is designed to hype you up for the event. I just feel like the WWE could reinvent themselves and give the show a totally new feel just by giving it a totally new look. They've done it many times in the past, and I'm waiting for the next phase of branding and marketing they go with.. because this is definitely getting stale.

I agree with a lot of this. Something about the attitude era (besides the stars and storylines) just felt real. Even something as simple as a backstage area...it's so lit up and there's colorful lighting everywhere you look. The backstage should look just how the arena looks, that's something you really dont need to dress up. Stop trying to make it look like theater.

NXT is a lot closer to what the old shows were like...so maybe when Triple H has full control things will be different. But as long as Vince and Kevin Dunn are here. It won't be.

P.S. Hate the white ropes lol

Nah, I want to see the Dudleys feud with the Wyatts at some point.

Attitude era really did feel real. And the main events of WCW Nitro felt like big time fights (helped that they had Michael Buffer as ring announcer). WWE wrestling today, even with the talent, seems way too fake. Guys are just waiting for certain spots and it's so choreographed

I think it's due to the complete death of kayfabe. Yea yea yea, I know it's fake. But when the wrestlers do what they can to make it seem real both on and off stage, it makes the matches and promos more legit. Now, right after a show, they will flat out tell you it is fake in a documentary/shoot interview on WWE Network.

Now I'm more interested with goes on behind the scenes and just the end results than the actual shows.

I watched Total Divas last night (Dont Judge me), and I must say I have a new appreciation for them. I was kind of shocked in a way, about how good they actually look. You cant really notice it much between the hair pulls and the suplexes, but on the show, you really get to see them differently.

That show did the opposite for me. I mean I know wwe is fake but the way they go overboard to make you know it's fake is mind boggling.

I know it's a trick of the light and the pink hair, but when she turned like that it seemed to me her eyes started glowing red.

This girl reminds me of an episode of Seinfeld. Depending on the angle and the lighting she can look very different

Sasha, I think, is one of those girls that is technically pretty. She got all the things that would make her a dime in the hood, but on the whole to me she just doesn't do anything for me. I want to find her attractive and I know people will side eye me all day for saying that I'm meh on her, but I'm really meh on her.

That's understandable cause my boy is meh with Sasha too while I'm totally into her. At the same time, I find Nikki Bella disgusting, while a lot of guys dig her. To each his own I guess!

I respect her utmost as a wrestler, but she doesn't turn me on like a Naomi or an Alicia Fox or a Lana (with the bun and the suit dress)

Omg, yes, great comparison! I love Sasha as a worker, but damn sometimes she doesn't look that great. She actually would be at the lower tier of all the divas on who I would like to hook up with. The thing about her is that she doesn't really have that one great feature. Like Naomi isn't that great look wise, but she got ass, that's her thing, and that makes me want her more than Sasha because of it. Paige has a great face imo, she's really cute. Nikki and Natalya got a great rack. Lana got that nice ass and legs. Nothing stands out with Sasha.

But hey, still a huge fan of her's, and I hope she wins that Diva's title soon.

Her greyhound/dolphin looking face stands out. That's the problem. The whole is oddly less than the sum of her parts. And the hair doesn't help. When she had it braided man did she look ratchet. Yes she did!

Taps is at 240 pounds already? Wowwwwww From what he is saying its all muscle.

Im really late on Alicia Fox but wow when you actually look at her real good. Naomi is definitely may favorite. Her boody is on point. It makes me remember that I miss Mickie James.

Lana definitely is in a class on her own. Lana can be the next Sports Illustrated issue and the next major movie role. She has true crossover appeal.

Once you get rid of the overdone makeup she's the prettiest of the divas in my opinion. She's been bad.

Always thought Fox had a really cute face too

Man, I was just watching HBK vs Austin WM14. I miss the old days

NXT PPV = a solid A
