lol at not calling it the Hardcore Title though.

Yea and then fans were booing the crap out of the name too.

Also, when the hardcore title had that rule, you still got regular scheduled matches. With the concept that they're using now, how the heck are they supposed to have actual matches?

Viking Raiders have already vanished too, Wild Card crap has killed both brands tag divisions

The fans love ricochet though. In today's wwe world that's all it takes. Even if your a dancing, bumblng idiot who has no business being in the title hunt... I don't think he'll become just regular mid card fodder

I have no idea wtf is happening in this company anymore. This wild card rule is so dumb. Everyone is on every show. There's no consistency but yet its all the same people so there's so much consistency. This is the definition of throwing **** at the wall to see what sticks.

Based on reading reviews of the past two week's shows, it seems like the wild card rule was invented so Reigns could main event both shows instead of just one.

I like that Cesaro got a new theme song his old one was arguably the worst one in the company
now give Reigns a new one.

I like how the 24/7 belt got some groans and mild boo's when it was announced...

Whether Brock chooses Rollins or Kofi I could careless...

I think Renee is noticeably improving on commentary...

I have no idea who's on what show anymore because of the wild card rule. The company has gotta
stop being lazy and half assing things and not having respect for the fans. What I mean by that is
having rules and guidelines and not following them. Like we've called up War Raiders and they debut
but they haven't been used and have been on NXT the last few weeks feuding with Street Profits.

Eh. I wouldn't be so sure. Balor is even more over and I don't think they'll ever go with him. Unfortunate too. Rollins hurts him using a move that shouldn't ever be done and somehow it's balor's fault.

Even an IC Champ Balor has been MIA.

Rumor has it Brock will announce he's cashing in at Suadi Arabia on ROllins

Talk about a complete waste of the MITB contract, they couldnt just announce this as a regular title match for that card and save MITB for someone else?

Why a boom box?

52 minutes into Raw and we have our first "match", a squash match of Shane v Roman's Cousin.

bestnamezRtaken · Post #572 » by **bestnamezRtaken** » Tue May 28, 2019 1:18 am

Almost 30 minutes later, the second match of Becky/Nikki v the IIconics.

I guess they're really trying to get stories told via in ring promos/ambushes/back stage segments.

WWE absolutely sucks at it though and honestly haven't been good at it since maybe the early 90's (at least consistently) and most of the modern audience doesn't really get that type of storytelling anyway. WWE at its best was storytelling via in ring promos and backstage segments with a sprinkling of in ring storytelling.

Also to do in ring storytelling, you need the talent to do so, they have it on the top end, but in the mid card, that's where it gets dicey.

Its sad how that title has gone from future world champions title to afterthought.

He needs to either go to AEW (Bullet Club - American chapter with Gallows & Anderson who can feud with Omega and the Elite) or back to New Japan (top junior or 2nd heavyweight).

Zane with a shout out to AEW!!

Sami Zayn is too damn good of a promo (i hope he goes to AEW, i really do, at least he'd be a main eventer instead of being held back by Vince).

WRau1 · Post #577 » by **WRau1** » Tue May 28, 2019 3:25 am

Mark Henry tried telling everyone that Sami is the best promo in the world, not many believed him.

Sami is just too good to continue being held back by this dumbass company.

Cesaro and Ricochet are gonna end up as a tag team aren't they?

iMoreland · Post #580 » by **iMoreland** » Tue May 28, 2019 11:16 am

Brock is so good in this segment. It makes sense that he wouldn't know that he has a year to cash in MITB. 2.3 million views in 11 hours btw, Brock is THE draw in WWE.
