I'd rather they avoid triple threat matches unless their is a reason for it. I'd rather Almas just get a shot at the title in truth (or a face Rusev).

Also, regarding your point on triple threats, totally agree. I think triple threats are for secondary PPVs to add action and keep from driving feuds into the ground. 'Mania should be the culmination of big feuds, and thus should largely be singles matches unless there's a very good reason to do a triple threat instead (like, say, a potential New Day break-up culminating in all three guys feuding for a belt).

Ain't no better trash talker in WWE than Samoa Joe

I think Rock was better than Austin.

I'd probably rate Jericho above him too. Dude had some killer lines over the years.

All three of them are the top 3 trash talkers ever i'd say. Those three are without peer.

Anyway, smackdown was not very good, like at all, the lack of Daniel Bryan was disturbing and made the show worse.

The segment with Charlotte, Becky, and HHH was good. I enjoyed it. Trips is one of the best on the mic and he easily got out of the stupid what chants.

A Lynch/McMahon family feud would be good (actually, Lynch feuding with Vince directly would be a very good feud).

Give Joe a title run please. He needs a big push, he's just too good to be wasted in the midcard (even the upper mid card).

Hell, a heel vs heel feud between him and Bryan could work.

Count me in on that. Both are basically playing heel but are getting tweener reactions.

Just watched Smackdown kind of a bland show...

Completely forgot about Asuka until they aired a vignette on her near the end of the show. Still funny to me that
she tapped Becky clean yet all the focus is on Becky and her wanting a piece of Rousey and the other brands
tittle.

I'm also having a hard time buying her as a "bad ass" when you have Rousey, Asuka, Charlotte and Nia Jax on
the roster. She has a face to face with HHH and all I'm thinking is how Becky looks kind of hot. A lot of what
HHH said about her was true though.

As for Elimination Chamber for whatever reason I've never really cared about this match. The only ones that are
memorable to me are the first 2 and the New Years Revolution PPV when Edge won.

Damn it Scott! She's a bad ass and I don't like to think she's hot! Which she is and...

Damn it Scott!

I'd prefer a change in wardrobe though. That one piece with fish net stockings is not working for me for a badass. Something similar to Deville's perhaps.

Speaking of, Sonya's also giving a similar vibe. Badass but also...

Damn it, Scott!

I forgot about Deville how many bad ass characters can you have? Becky should be the lovable cutie underdog
that people felt deserved more and should get out of Charlottes shadow.

Who has she beaten to be so cocky and to talk trash to everyone?

At times she doesn't come off as a cool heelish babyface shes comes across as an unlikable heel.
But hey she's still red hot and super over but I feel if they continue to book her this way she could
lose some steam.

Who did Austin beat? Dude walked to the ring after WM13 like he just won the universal championship. His biggest wins up to that point were against Jake Roberts and Savio Vega. Dude got his ass handed to him in every match against Bret.

Scott Hall · Post #878 » by **Scott Hall** » Thu Feb 7, 2019 1:39 pm

He won King of the Ring 1996 and was managed by Ted Dibiase before so he always felt like a somebody. Becky
has always felt like a jobber to the stars or mid carder at best.

Austins character was cocky and bad ass-ish from the beginning...Becky feels like she's trying to be Austin
instead of just being Becky Lynch to me.

Pfft, he beat Marc Mero, Jake Roberts, Bob Holly and Savio Vega in that tournament. He was the **** Ringmaster when he was managed by Ted DiBiase. The Ringmaster did not feel like a somebody.

Ted Dibiase giving a new guy the rub and giving him the Million Dollar belt made him feel like an important
character to me from the start.

As for KOTR 1996 there just wasn't a lot of good baby faces on the roster at the time. But his famous promo
after he won was what made him and his theme music suited his character perfectly. He nailed the character 100%
and his presentation was perfect.

Austins rise felt organic... Beckys rise from like the 3rd week on felt like "They should make her the next Steve Austin".
