It's amazing how they started with 6 matches, then they went to 5, now its 4. You see more wrestling on an episode of RAW. Plus, even these PLEs are stuffed with endless ads and looooong breaks between matches. I think you have to be a grade A moron to blow a bunch of cash on tickets for a PLE card like this.
Say what you will about AEW, but they gave us the GOAT Punk run that people will be talking about for the next 50 years. For all the right and wrong reasons. Punk AEW run blows this WWE run out of the water, despite the McIntyre feud.
Finally after 7 or 8 weeks of awful SD, this one was a good one. Even though pretty weak for a go home show for MITB.
they need to fire def rebel too. WWE haven't produced such awful themes ever in its history as def rebel has put out in last few years.
You know I genuinely believe that H has moved on and isn't holding a grudge with Punk anymore. Problem is that he is just not a good booker. Everything he does happens way too slow to a point where no one cares anymore. Vince, for all his shortcomings, knew to strike when the iron was hot. He 100% would have pushed Punk after seeing the response he was getting.
I'vebeen hearing that they won't renew their deal. Let's hope for the best
I dunno man. None this feel particularly appealing to me. The Seth push just reeks of H trying to prove a point and push his blue-eyed boy. After the first couple of weeks, I have to say I don't really care about Rollins or this faction. He seems like the same person he was before the turn, just slightly less cartoonish. They kinda made the joke themselves on SD. It feels like a low-rent version of the Bloodline.
Agreed I don't care about anything else tonight. I just want L.A to win the MITB.
Yes Seth is definitely not the leader material. He's simply just a guy you put in matches without giving him any promo time currently.
hopefully. cfo was a good successor to jim johnston.
I'd really like Punk and AJ to feud soon after the tease we got in the triple threat. Not everything has to wait.
LOL
Yes. But just like with the big dog push, the way Vince was pushing Theory wasn't clicking. But trips is too scared to even push anyone other than Seth.
Ok if R Truth is back then I’m back. @sweep_shot
Nope. Ron Killings is back.
The truth has set him freeNope. Ron Killings is back.
The normies in the YouTube section who think trips is some sort of genius think it was a work LOL. Just like they thought the Cody v Roman rewrite after it being originally Roman v Rock was a work as well.
Yes Fatu's turn on Solo could have been done so much better rather than in MITB match. and speaking of the new bloodline, where are the tongas? the two have to be the worst "big" signing by wwe in a while
Apparently Nick Khan was a sane head in all this. And Trips didn't like fans making their voice heard.
All the wwe audience has to do is say we want Tonga and chant his hyena laugh “ye ye ye ye” and h will bring him back and then say, see? It was just a work, all according to plan
I know Rollins was the odds on favorite but I was thinking that maybe...just maybe, a miracle happens, he listens to the fans for once and does something with LA Knight. The only reason I was thinking this was because how popular he is and how they have constantly put him in these positions (where he has gotten very close to winning the briefcase) that you feel he will win next time. There comes a time though eventually when you realize that wrestler will never win the big one.
That's what I have read too..
Yeah I think mediocre is an understatement
Good point. TBH I don't see them using Truth once Cena disappears.
Honestly I didn't care much for the match either. There were way too many moments where two guys fought in the ring while four others laid outside seemingly for eternity. There was a point where LA Knight was laying outside for a solid 5 minutes. It had some good spots but it was missing that crazy car crash feel too. Solo inclusion felt pretty forced. He's not someone cut out for these types of matches. On top of that they had multiple interferences which just made me roll my eyes after a certain point.
I think one or both of them are injured
Well remember that Triple H just wants us "to be fans", which according to him means that we should not criticize his booking, or the product in any way and just enjoy whatever garbage he throws infront of us.
I really enjoyed Konnan's commentary. Felt very natural and Graves was good as the play-by-play filling in the audience, who may be seeing lucha (or AAA) for the first time. It's a shame he can't get on SD or RAW because McAfee happens to be a more popular name, eventhough Graves is a far better commentator than McAfee on his best day.
I've always maintained that WWE cage matches are rubbish. They laugh in the face of logic and common sense by allowing participants to escape from the cage. It's been going on since the Bruno days and for some reason continues to be this way eventhough Vince has left and this was regarded as another Vinceism. Personally I have always viewed Hell in A Cell as the real WWE cage match.
He definitely did. I have seen a few Vikingo matches, and this guy is probably the poster-boy for the modern 'gymnastics' version of lucha libre. And while I'm not much of a fan of that style I don't think you can even blame him for that because its something that works in Mexico. But he did a good job adapting his style for US TV. I thought the match was really well put together because it gave you enough of Vikingo's high flying talents, while also showcasing Gable's prowess on the mat. Nice finish too. I don't think you needed too many near falls here given the contrast of styles.
Rumors are that his positions under fire as well and Dwayne's been lobbying to get him fired. lol I doubt that considering how less Dwayne cares about WWE as he only wants to salvage his acting career these days and trying all he can to get an oscar nom.
I don't know but I don't see Goldberg willing to lose in his retirement match. Let's hope he gets his retirment match against Logan instead where he might actually get cheered.
Cage matches became even sillier once they added the open the door and go out thing to it. HIAC are the proper cage matches.
it wasn't in the psp version i think. of 2010 and 2011 atleast.I liked the door mini game in SvR though
The Rock is not around that much. Once his next movie bombs the way everyone expects it to, I think we might see more of him. At the end of the day though, if the company is making money and driving numbers, Triple H will be relatively safe. He will have something to make his case. But the thing about bad booking is that over time it begins to affect everything, and eventually numbers and business too. Which is why I think that the biggest hurdle for Triple H inregards to keeping his job is Triple H himself.
Goldy is desperate to do this match. Even if they tell him its in a drained swimming pool behind a bowling alley, he’ll l do it. I don't expect him to have any issue with losing. I think he is well aware that losing to him would bury anyone with two working arms and legs.
Only the guillible morons on YouTube who think triple h is amazing bought the whole “it’s a work” angle
Everyone knows h is not creative enough to do something like that.
Such a simpleton lol. Can’t wait to see Seth win MITB next year as well to be first one to win x3 in a row so he can say “look, this guy was my pick from the start, I put a rocket on him”
Nah this guy h is not good enough to be Dexter, he is more like that trinity killer, puts up a facade of smiling with fans and fools the gullible ones, but those with the Dexter instinct can sniff him out easily
