Oops.
Yeah Jey's winning that, you'd think / hope and I think they're gonna have to do what you've said and just have 10-12 at 100mph because if they try and do an actual "proper" match then yeah that ain't happening. That whole feud feels pretty undercooked to me, I think they've tried to rely on the stuff done previously to carry it but they really needed to do more and weave that properly into the Bloodline stuff .
I'm going for O12.5 Superkicks in that match.
Free money.
Super kicks, splashes and sleeper holds.
Don't forget samoan drops. They might do one of those each.
It will be very interesting to see what happens to the Bloodline members post-Mania.
Reigns: I hear everyone saying Roman will take time off. Isn’t that basically what he’s done the last 2-3 years? He’s not even 40 yet so I’m hoping all of that talk is premature. Do they hold off the match with Rick until WM41? If yes, do they do something with him over the summer? Big questions to be answered.
Solo: wouldn’t surprise me if he went, well, Solo. Although if I remember correctly, didn’t Reigns christen him as Tribal heir or something a while back? Don’t see him ready for that spot yet, personally.
Jey: got enough charisma in the tank to stay solo. Keep pushing the yeet bollocks and he will be fine. Can’t see him main eventing outside the confines of a Bloodline storyline, however.
Jimmy: he’s the one I worry for. Been overshadowed by his brother over the last year and will surely lose the 1-on-1 match at Mania. Unless he teams up with Solo as a tag team, he could get lost in the shuffle.
Heyman: can’t see him staying around to manage Jimmy or Solo. But then it would be a shame if he followed Reigns into part-time status. New client? Can’t see it if Reigns already said he won’t be Tribal Chief without Heyman by his side.
Rick: hasn’t he got another film coming up? Imagine he disappears until the feud with Reigns officially kicks off.
I feel a bit for Solo. They'd made him look a bit of a killer and he's another that with Reigns barely around he's just lost all momentum because they haven't kept on having him murder people or have basically any agency of his own.
Solo seems to be in a tough spot. They keep making him lose.
Apparently including house shows (bollocks I know) he's on a 35 match losing streak or something. Hasn't won since he beat Cena.
2 draws/no contests in that.
Problem for Solo is he's not really that good at anything in particular. He's not bad, I just don't see what he's good at other than standing and looking moody.
He looked like he was sleeping during Heyman’s speech. All the wrestlers reacted to the ‘suck my dick’ line other than him
He's paid not to react.
I can understand house shows because heels will lose more often than not. More surprising is that he hasn’t won on tv. Makes me think he might go tag with Jimmy.Originally Posted by Sir Andy Mahowry
Mahow is right, he is literally (for better or worse) being told to no-sell everything.
I think as a worker he's been fine from what I've seen (I never saw much of his NXT stuff, were you watching NXT at that point 'How?) but again, he's clearly being told to work a very particular way.
Not too much, was more just watching PPV's/special episodes during his run.
That tag match was fun as fuck. Pure Indy.
Bron’s spear was ridiculous
HBK really doesn’t wanna let Bron go lol
Do you have the Network Waff or do you stream it?
Was just sitting there wondering whether now I mostly like what they're doing again if I should consider giving them some money.
Is NXT on now?
Yeah. Started at 5
Stream, Ian. Get BT through my phone so have tv stuff on there but I mostly just watch clips that interest me rather than watch a show through. PPVs on here: https://methstreams.com/wwestreams/wwe-stand-deliver/
Good quality on phone so probs even better on a computer.
NXT getting 13k+ is some effort considering they weren’t doing much better when it was NXT: Black and Gold and just a glorified Indy company. Majority of the product are through the development structure. HBK and HHH are properly good at this thing.
Could have given us a heads up before it kicked off, dickhead.
What actual channel is it on? I’ve put the WWE Network on and it’s Undertaker vs. Edge lol.
I put it on but wanted to rewind to the start and it took me to the NXT BEFORE Stand and Deliver (Your money or your life) which wasn't too helpful.
Currently watching the Wrestlemania episode of Scooby Doo on Boomerang to get ready. Shaggy and Scooby (skinny man and dead meat) in a 2v1 handicap match vs Kane
I'm a twit
Mayor Kane would simply jail Shaggy for clearly being high as a kite.
Found it. Indian channels to the rescue.
Just in time for the main event I’m guessing?
I love Dragunov but is Tony D'Angelo actually any good? What little I've seen the gimmick just looks like the worst sort of cringey nonsense that once upon a time would have been designed to amuse Vince.
He's got some in ring skills (mainly seen his tag matches with STACKS) but his gimmick is shockingly bad.
I’m really not up to speed on NXT at all but Trick looks like money.
I really am not a fan of him and I really don’t know why. Maybe bc of Booker T
I like Trick, he's not actually quite as good as Hayes I reckon but he looks the business. Both should be stars if WWE play their cards right.
I like both and it should be decent but LA Knight and AJ Styles is the match I'm least interested in, even though the buildup had AJ flying all the way to Australia just to batter LA Knight which really is world class shithousery.
Who we thinking in 15 years then?
Most of their build up has been outside of Smackdown since Bloodline and the woman’s stuff takes most of that up. I’ve enjoyed it - bit of a throwback. Knight drawing blood from AJ at the press conferences was a nice touch.
Feel like a few of the matches could have done with a stipulation more so than the Street Profits match. Normally they’re shit but it does feel like WWE are allowing things to be less PG. ladder match should be a corker. Fully expecting R Truth and maybe Waller to get both titles simultaneously
How dare that graphic ignore Undertaker vs Kane.
Maybe I retract my previous statement. That match was pretty shit. Both should have been DQed anyway for trying to hit their opponent with the chair right in front of the ref.
Just watched it, my word.That tag match was fun as fuck. Pure Indy.
Bron’s spear was ridiculous
Bron is an absolute freak, very early Brock Lesnar.
Push him to the absolute moon.
2 hour pre show now starting.
Honestly couldn’t tell you jack about the Usos (other than wanting Young Bucks to super kick their faces off) but that promo video got me invested.
I'm a twit
Yeah that was dumb as fuck.
Spoiled a really good PPV.
They did keep reiterating that the ref was told to let as much as possible go tbf
At least it's not the coloured abortion I saw before.
Still painful to see.
Considering the amount of advertising that's everywhere in the US I'm surprised they haven't been doing this kind of thing for years, particularly considering WCW used to do it in the 90s. US sports largely avoiding kit sponsors until recently seems odd as well.
Is this Becky Lynch’s level now, or is it because she’s ill? She looks terrible out there.
Honestly thought they moved Rhea/Becky to the pre show at first. Hopefully I haven’t missed much as thought this started at 1
You’ve missed nothing besides a HHH promo
I'm a twit
Before I commit to this (open another beer) what time is the main event likely to be? 5?
I'm a twit
I’d guess somewhere between 3:30 to 4.
Doubt it. Be before 4 id imagine. I don’t think they do much more than 4 hours per night
People like Judgement Day? They look like absolute dorks.
