OT: The WWE Thread - Part 2

[King of Canada]

I don't watch wrestling, but anybody catch flat Ronnie?

[Juco24]

I really believe the 3 hour Raw is just killing the product.

Every match drags on, nearly every Raw match is predictable. The show should have quick matches, save these long matches for the PPV. I usually just change the channel whenever a match starts. Put it back 10 minutes later and the same match is still going on. Its obvious they are just killing time with all these long matches.

Just my random thoughts.

Agreed

ive come back since they signed all my indie favorites. Rumble was first PPV in a couple years. I enjoyed it, till trips came in and wrecked it, but overall i was entertained. So glad theyre going big with AJ off the bat. (though Aries is the better talent , in the ring and on mic, and has to do nxt) AJ deserves everything WWE's willing to give. Props to Jericho for taking the JOB for AJ.

Cant wait to see what they do with Bullet Club, if anything. Balor Club ?

Dude, AA is good but he is not AJ Styles in the ring. Mic, yes he's better, but in the ring, no.

seen them both live in their primes several times, and i just always felt Aries was such an underrated worker, but its certainly debatable whos better in the ring. its comparing awesomeness to awesomeness IMO. Easily my 2 favorites of the so called "vanilla midgets" that emerged from the Indys...

Storylines and promos should be the main focus on Monday nights. Thats how you properly build characters and feuds.

Also, ive been rewatching some Raw episodes from '99. Raw should go back to TV-14. Attract the college crowds and let people act like men again. Sexual innuendos seem to always be a big hit. Guys like Val Venis were pretty unspectacular in the ring but always got a nice pop whenever he came out. That really goes for a bunch of guys. Big reason why they should go back to Tv-14 is more freedom to cut a promo. Too many guys on the roster now talk like a superhero, which is lame and we all know no one talks like that in real life. Promos are the key to connecting with connecting to the casual viewer, actual wrestling not so much.

Just my random thoughts.

this is the truth. No way im going to handle watching 3 hours every week.

Road to WM begins and curious what they do to sell out Dallas stadium. A roman vs. HHH headline isn't enough.

Will we see taker? Last match
How will they use Rock since h has stated he will be there
How to use Brock? Vs. Who
AJ Styles vs. Y2J
Will Danil Bryan return?

No clue with Taker. Sheamus?
Rock can't wrestle this year due to movie contract.
Brock vs. Bray Wyatt
AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens I think
DB may return day after Mania

Rock can't wrestle but I could see him being there as part of story line for USO's or in a way, he came out last year to showcase Ronda.

This year is a hard year for WWE. Alot of there best headliners are either gone, hurt or had a terrible storyline

HHH vs Reigns with Vince and Rock in their corner i think

[xNewYorkMadex]

It'll blow if Rock doesnt wrestle.

The way he announced it on his instagram made it like such a big deal as if he would wrestle. I understand if he wont. But they shouldnt have made it such a big announcement.

I've been rewatching some attitude era episodes on the network. Im up to 1999 and the undertaker/higher power storyline was great. BUT looking back at it, the ending to it was pretty terrible. Having Vince as the higher power really made no sense. The fans were really behind him during that time. It makes me wonder if Vince was the first choice to be revealed as the higher power. The way that storyline played out, it seemed like they probably had someone else in mind to play that part, didnt work out, and at the last minute let Vince play it.

I was never the biggest D-Bry fan cause I didn't watch his whole rise and fight to the top. (I started watching again because of WM 30)

But damn this hurts.

swerve, the american dragon dont quit

[DASMACKDOWN]

OMG Shane-O-Mac is back!!!

[poeman]

OMG Shane-O-Mac is back!!!

SHANE O MAC!!!!!!!!!

Hes back, big shakeup in wrestling and wtf Vince cursed on live TV he said

"Shane Im going to give you a facking beating one more time".

WOW Vince totally went nuts and did something very fine worthy. Audience was shocked haha Yelled "Thats not PG"
Oh and SHANE ON MAC at Wrestlemania vs UNDERTAKER in a Hell in a Cell....I like it.

Whats up for grabs? Shane taking over Monday Night Raw. I think Shane is back to take over after that conference call with shareholders where Vince got put on blast for having terrible product and weak ratings.

There's a Wolves game on right now... and I dont even care. Had to stop by this thread

[Polk377]

I'm mad I missed the initial pop since I was watching the Knicks . It was great seeing Shane back in the WWE. He has always been the most likeable/entertaining McMahon and will bring the balance of power back into the company. The Taker match was really unexpected but with the stipulations it should be entertaining. Shane has been an underrated performer in the past and I expect some big spots in that match. I just hope they build on the story over the next few weeks.

[spree8]

I'm happy as hell that Shane O' Mac is back, but facing Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell??? I dunno...pretty ballsy move by Vince.

Shane hasn't wrestled in ages, and since he's much older than those amazingly shocking moments he had in 2001, I dunno if he can come close to pulling off anything close to that. Not to mention, I think it's kinda a waste for Taker.

I would've much rather seen a street fight between Shane and Vince (despite him being 70 years old lol).

They should've had Undertaker & Kane be subject of a Bullet/Balor Club beatdown...with Taker ultimately facing Finn Balor as the Demon come Wrestlemania. Forming the club would've been perfect now that AJ is finished up with Jericho...would've been cool having an interpromotional feud...Undertaker & Kane going to NXT shows and Finn to Raw.

WWE's creative team really sucks nowadays.
