I'm super bored of the crowd cheering dickheads. Yes, Kevin Owens (for example is good) but play the game and fucking boo him.

Yeah he's still a heel.
I wouldn't hate him as much as I do if he didn't dab, I guess the WWE are on the right path with it though.
If you want somebody to get kicked in the balls but don't actively want them to not be on your screen then that's the job being done about right.
And the modern wrestling crowd is a bunch of smarks or smarks with kids. They've ruined kayfabe.
Modern wrestling crowds are just puppets just waiting to chant 'This is awesome' and 'holy shit'.
It is beautiful story telling.
Shinners has it. If they were puppets they'd be cheering Reigns. The thing you're referring to is more a result of the way many people are just are aout everything. They want to have been there when a thing is seen to have happened. They want to be the notable crowd in some moment or another, not realising that those things work best when it's a result of people being actually invested in a guy or into a show.
'Ian Web-ly!'
*clap, clap, clap-clap-clap*
That's a chant we can all get on board with.
I'll also say the smarks are the reason WWE's so bloated. All this in-ring craft appreciation chatter that never really mattered. And, to be honest, doesn't matter as much as some fans think.
1. Internet goes on about guy at other promotion.
2. WWE sees hype.
3. Other guy ends up on 205 Live with gimmick crowd refuses to respond to.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until 18 hours of weekly programming is sorta .... kinda ... full.
The issue being compounded by the fact that the guys hiring people appear not to be the people who write / book the show.
By which I mean a talented wrestler rocks up and Vince goes "Why is he a foot too short?"
Can you really have so many ongoing threads? Even Eastenders has like, three tops. What great moments of character has Ricochet had? Here's what I know about him:
He had this one match where he and his opponent decided to avoid each other for fifteen minutes and then everybody cheered. The fuck is that?
Let's go Webly!
Webly Sucks!
Web, ly Rocks
"This is Web-ly!"
*clap, clap, clap-clap, clap*
Stealing Lew's claps for a This Is Awesome tribute.
Also if this is anything to go by I'm the most over wrestler among TTH wrasslin' fans.
That means you’re probably meant to be a heel though.
WWE's biggest problem is that wins and losses dont matter.

Eddie Edwards took a baseball bat to the eye resulting in a broken orbital bone and a broken nose.
Whoops.
Watching Okada v Ospraey tonight, @Disco?
WWE are going to be doing a 50 man Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia next month because why not.
Do you follow British wrestling Mahow?
Nope.
I really hate this Nia/Asuka rivalry but I did like the finish (although it was a little too long) in this match.
You are missing out.
British Strong Style>WWE main roster.
Don't want it getting too popular though or half the fans will desert it.
I am counting the fucking minutes until I can go home and fire up the Jap-graps. I did not enjoy leaving for work thus morning when I knew it was just about to start.
Tidy little 3 hour show.
There's going to be cruiserweight tag titles fairly soon apparently. If that means they're going all out on 205 Live it's ace but otherwise that's three different belts for what, seven people?
Hillbilly Jim into the Hall of Fame
I've had to put up with him and The fucking Godwinns a lot in my Nostalgia run.
It took me longer than I'd care to admit to realise their initials spelled HOG and PIG.
Look at the smouldering bastard here, holy shit

WWE announcer Jonathan Coachman is being accused of sexual harassment by former ESPN anchor and legal analyst Adrienne Lawrence.
According to a report today by the New York Post, Lawrence filed a sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit against ESPN on Sunday for incidents dating back to 2015. She is accusing ESPN of not addressing her complaints, specifically against longtime SportsCenter anchor John Buccigross. Many other current and former employees are also accused of varying degrees of harassment in the suit, including Coachman.
Guess Booker T will be needed again.
Oh and fucking lol if they are trying to turn Nia face after the Alexa talk.
So All In will be in Chicago in September.
Cue literally every rumour being about CM Punk making an appearance.
Speaking of Chicago, Bork turned up in a squash match against Kane.
That probably fulfils his contractual obligations until Wrestlemania.
If it's all on purpose to get people to cheer Reigns it's pretty shrewd, while also being shit for anyone who bought a ticket on the strength of a Lesnar appearance. Didn't even bother putting his gloves on.
I thought Kane had been DESTROYED by Boatman so he could run for Mayor somewhere in Tennessee though?
Or are live shows like that not part of the main storyline?
House shows like that are never part of storyline. It's usually for the guys to get a tune up and get rid of ring rust.
Triple H teamed up with the SHIELD at a few last year when getting ready for Survivor Series.
He has my vote btw.
He and Jessie Ventura need a debate / Wrestlemania match.
I demand he tombstone his opponent after his sure-fire victory.
Still my favourite photo. HELLFIRE AND BRIMSTONE
Except for the very rare occasions when they suddenly are because it suits WWE for it to be the case.
Will Ospraey is going to be brilliant at Heavy Weight.
Also Im done with Sanada and his current gimick.He isnt tranquilo he is boring and slow..
What are thoughts from last night?
Smackdown was proper shit.
The promo to open wasn't overly engaging (the whole silver spoon thing is so tired now) with a really strange abrupt ending.
The Orton/Mahal/Roode thing is still batshit (no one fucking wants a triple threat match).
Carmella/Lynch was alright but Carmella and her hissy fits are so fucking annoying plus it sets up a dull as fuck tag match.
Styles/Ziggler promo was good as was their match but I don't get basically booking the Fastlane match to end it.
The main event was alright with a good end but it would have felt better at the actual PPV although it can't possibly happen at Fastlane as it looks likely that Cena wins to make Wrestlemania a shit triple threat with a God mode enabled Cena throwing finishers around for days.
I'm still not sure what they're trying to do with this.
WWE LIVE is coming to Geneva. 100 quid a ticket and a bargain of 80 quid for under 14s.
"and i-eeee-i will always brawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!"
I'm not sure I was ever on the Sanada train, he's very good but I don't see the charisma that those at the top of the roster have. Ospreay on the other hand has it all already, I understand that the match at the anniversary show is a one off and somewhat traditional but this seemed to pose quite a few questions and makes me want to see more of this master/student semi-rivalry thing they have going on.
As for the rest I thought Hiromu looked great again and I really enjoyed the Naito / Taichi match. Plus of course my man Suzuki who I could watch forever. Roll on Friday and the start of the NJ Cup.
Will this have any stuff that actually matters? I don't understand how WWE does shows that aren't on TV. Will it just be watching people wrestle or do they do kind of in house storylines?
