There fucked.
Odds on Ziggler losing but then turning up on RAW tomorrow?
I've not got there yet, but I'm fairly sure I've had it spoilt for me that he won. Even if he didn't, this couldn't happen, it was directly mentioned when the match was set up that he had to leave WWE and couldn't go to RAW or NXT.Originally Posted by Gray Fox
I thought the WWE title match was awful, mainly due to the stupid false finish thing. I hate when WWE make up the rules to suit themselves.
It strikes me what they should have done with the WWE Title match is ruled it a draw, and then stated the champion retains on a draw, and had Styles sneak out with the belt. He could easily of spun it that he knew the rules and outsmarted them. It has precedence too as when Edge and Benoit beat each other (Edge pinned Benoit while tapping) in a Triple Threat against HHH, Bischoff said by the letter of the law HHH should retain but he wouldn't do it and vacated the title. I know WWE don't remember last week, let alone that far back, but I think that would have been better than pinning Cena with a chair shot, which really proves nothing. The heel heat when they announced that
Didn't like the PPV at all really. The Smackdown Tag division is wank, the 2 Divas matches felt like such filler, and the main event, I couldn't be less interested. Miz/Ziggler stole the show once more, but that should have gone on last.
Even the good matches were pretty low-key somehow. I liked the triple threat other than the ending, enjoyed Miz/Ziggler and it should have been the main event and I thought Orton/Wyatt was decent if a touch dull. It's good that Harper's back too and I was undecided who I thought they'd have win but I was glad they went with Wyatt.
Skipped the womens matches. I didn't pay full attention to Swagger vs. Corbin but I like that they actually built up the stuff about the ankle lock.
I thought Ziggler's match would have been last, soon as I saw it was I knew Dolph was gonna win. What shite from Orton and Bray.
Paige is suspended again - That's her fucked, no way WWE pushing a person with 2 suspensions on their name (See Swagger)
Doesn't Orton have two?
I would've had Dolph lose and then farm him to TNA.
Broken Dolph?
Nah, he'll just scrap with Aron, Cody (tm) and Al Snow in the mid-card.
He did, but I'm sure they wrangled it somehow so he lost one of his strikes for some kind of good behavior because they wanted to keep him around in case of a 3rd.
Oh and Paige might have gotten away with it, had she not said on twitter that "Rules apply depending on your status."
They essentially made Randy do the Wellness equivalent of a speed awareness course.
Going by your first sentence she would appear to be right.
She's absolutely right. They'll never fire a big name for it, no matter what they do.
So I'm still going through old Raws and PPVs and up next is the 1998 Royal Rumble which I think is where Michaels fucks his back against Taker.
Got to say, I'm a little surprised at the things I'm enjoying:
- He's still a bunk-eyed twat but, my God, Michaels is absolutely amazing in that smarmy heel leader of DX. An absolute cunt but I just can't get enough of him and he is so much better than 'Hunter' at this point it's ridiculous.
- One of the biggest surprises for me is just how much I'm enjoying Marc Mero. I've only ever heard people talk shit about him but I think he's a really good heel actually. And it helps that a scantily clad Sable is always following him around.
- Also absolutely loving The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust. Bat shit mental but entertaining. Luna Vachon probably counts as shameful lustage.
- The standard of commentary is just so good. JR, Lawler, Cornette are in a league of their own, obviously. Kevin Kelly is adequate and Michael Cole still gave a shit at this point, so I don't find myself tutting with exasperation like I do when I watch the modern day shit.
I can't figure out Mark Mero. I don't think I've ever seen him in a good match. In WWE he was basically 'guy that's married to Sable' and in WCW he was on the arse-end of the card.
There's a story behind Mero, apparently Vince saw him performing (not sure if it was wrestling) as a particular character and signed him, not realising that he didn't have the rights to that character or that he only knew how to be that one character.
Then Sable happened to him.
I now have both editions of What Culture's "Wrestling" magazine and I have to say they are really impressive. Expensive, but worth it. I picked the 2nd one up in Smiths but liked it so much I ordered the first one from their website. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys their channel.
When it first happened I really thought the Jericho/Owens was just filler until they decided what they were doing with Owens. Whether that would still be the case had Pap O'Shango not got injured I don't know but now it's consistently the funniest thing in WWE. Three cell matches is going to be an absolute yawnfest.
Yea, they've both really nailed the character work, and "The list" is brilliant. It feels like at some point Jericho has to get into the title picture and I'm surprised they didn't do the Triple Threat at HIAC but it is too soon I feel. Let them go a bit longer first.
Raw is pretty fucked when Fozzy start touring.
Yeah, the List of Jericho amd "You just made the list!" is funnier to me than it really should be. Hopefully Glasgow will make the list when I go to see Raw at the start of next month. Not that I'll notice because I'm just going to have to chant "This is awesome!" for the entire time I'm there at the top of my voice so I feel like a proper WWE fan.
I always wonder why UK fans, for the most part, stick to the bullshit USA chants rather than coming up with some good ones. The "Hey Bayley" one from Takeover: London was class. We need more of that.
I'd like to hear 'Tonga Jeff' to the tune of Big Jock Knew.
That chant started at NXT tapings at Full Sail.
The "Ohh Ahh" chant started at Takeover London.
That's the one I meant. The other one is shit.
Who were the other 8 mayors of Suplex City?
Some nerds went for it, and it turns out he was punning with night-mare/mayor.
Is he actually saying nightmare? What a juggins I must look.
Who's the day mayor?
Some jobber apparently going for a World Title shot Tuesday on Smackdown
It's nice when a match surprises (sort of, I check show reviews first) going through old stuff on the Network. I'd never have watched Orton vs. Christian but their Over The Limit match is bloody great.
I've always thought it was 9th Mayor as well.
Unsurprisingly neither Goldberg or Baroque are set to appear at the Raw in Glasgow that I'm at.
I'll just have to make do with Noam Dar, I suppose.
.....
Ooh, Money in the Bank '11 is up next for me. I've heard this Punk/Cena match is a) a proper classic and b) had a genuinely amazing crowd.
I've seen the promos that led up to it. Should be good.
GOAT PPV. Not just that match (they've had better wrestling matches but the storyline and the crowd topped it up) to look forward to either.
I thought the main event was great.
That was the night Punk signed his extention if I'm not mistaken.
Very much enjoyed that. Good show overall as has been said but Cena/Punk was a proper match. Not just going through the motions of their signature movesets as quickly as possible and then tacking some finisher kick-outs on the end. The crowd didn't do it any harm either. I laughed at Punk mugging to the "You can't wrestle" chants. Cena played it perfectly too. Just the whole thing was spot-on. Imagine if it'd had some competent commentary just to put the icing on it.
So Del Rio and Paige are now engaged. The lucky fucker.
Til she gives him two black eyes and he has to go and get stabbed for some peace and quiet.
lol at Mick Foley being screwed by his desperation to be liked.
What did he do?
Some fan sent him some angry messages asking why Summer Rae wasn't getting a push (as you do), he basically said she wasn't good enough, and then the weirdo fan shared their exchange. Do you think Triple Haitch has ever even spoken to a fan, Mick, mate?
Paige asked him to marry her? I bet he takes her last name....
Her carny family aren't happy according to their barely legible Facebook posts.
"NAW SONv o'MIN'es MAARYYIN' A GREEKE VASTARD!"
How good would the Goldberg music just hitting and interrupting Baroque Lesnar have been? But oh no. They have to introduce it.
Was it the good WCW music or the shit one from his WWF run?
Good music, decent entrance. As Lewis says, they should've used it to interrupt Brock. Complete with the security guard escort.
