Why the fuck do the Fed have 2 ppvs a week apart wtf

Trent Dole · « **Reply #10862 on:** August 17, 2020, 01:47:24 PM »

NWA is apparently going to have weekly ones.

WWE shows barely even count as PPVs anymore since they're just part of the network.

Pissy F Benny · « **Reply #10863 on:** August 17, 2020, 01:48:33 PM »

But I’m slightly more inclined to watch ppvs and 2 a week a part is far too much modern rasslin for me these days

I’ll probably end up watching about an hour of Summerslam at most

Yeah.

Turned it on and forgot it was taped. They got me for now- leaving it on as background noise.

I think this is supposed to be Mickie James' big return match? They're focusing on Rollins and Joe arguing at ringside instead.

bork · « **Reply #10867 on:** August 17, 2020, 09:10:04 PM »

The match just ended and they kept fighting outside the ring, but the cameras were still staying on Rollins and it was almost entirely missed. Seth went to walk up the ramp and Natalya (also a heel) gave him this "FUCK YOU" stare, lmao.

bork · « **Reply #10868 on:** August 17, 2020, 09:24:30 PM »

They're plugging the arena move as "THUNDERDOME" and it starts on Smackdown this week.

Yeah, that was absolutely awful television. Rollins didn't have a microphone on him and the wrestlers didn't react to their match being disrupted.

Either element would have been fine on its own. Combining them ruined both.

Now they can just blame Retribution for all the fuck-ups. Vince did it again!

The only thing that was enjoyable was Raw Underground- and they started bringing storyline crap into it by having Nia come in and attack Shayna and her buddies.

Changing the topic when is the last time anyone watched current wrestling outside of YouTube clips

Pretty sure it was mania for me, I may have watched money in the bank but can’t remember anything about it

I can't get into the no crowd shows. My wrestling watching lately has been stuff on Pluto TV, which has channels with replays of ROH, TNA, and AAA.

Not a shock Jericho didn’t walk off, there was some beef they had with the rock circa 99 that got pretty messy, I can’t remember the deets, stro might know

Sideshow Raheem · « **Reply #10881 on:** August 20, 2020, 12:08:17 PM »

Asuka suggested she may wear the scary clown makeup at the Summerslam.

"The in-character anger she showed to Sane’s exit led her to teasing on social media the possibility of using the darker, full face-paint, evil-clown-like persona she had while wrestling in Japan. It’s something WWE is open to her doing in the right situation.

“'If the time comes, I can show it,' she said."

Watching THUNDERDOME. The bigger arena just makes it being empty that more obvious and the "virtual" crowd isn't appearing in all camera shots. Guessing the audience noise is piped in?

But hey, Braun finally buzzed his hair off. It was beyond time.

bork · « **Reply #10888 on:** August 22, 2020, 10:07:33 PM »

Vince comes out

Fiend interrupts him

Braun interrupts Fiend

Vince disappears

Retribution interrupts them both

Fiend disappears

Various people from the back interrupt Retribution

And this in like the first five minutes of the show

bork · « **Reply #10889 on:** August 22, 2020, 10:12:28 PM »

OK, now it's showing all the audience screens. Just looks WEIRD.

Corey Graves was somehow able to look into the camera and explain that "somehow, Braun found his way into the Firefly Funhouse- this parallel world that nobody can find the entrance to" with a straight face.

Braun throws Bray off of a ledge onto a concrete floor in the back. Bray is loaded into an ambulance. Cut to a shot of all the agents and staff looking shocked as the doors swing open, with red light and dry ice coming out of the back, and the Fiend comes out in full gear.

And it looked...hilarious.

Still haven't watched Takeover yet. Maybe later tonight or tomorrow.

Summerslam started with pyro...in an empty arena. Just doesn't feel right. At least the piped in crowd noise helps a bit.

They said there's another PPV next Sunday.

Sideshow Raheem · « **Reply #10906 on:** August 24, 2020, 03:20:20 PM »

I like the small audience banging on the protective plexiglass screen a lot more than the thunderdome.

(I guess WWE has to police all those screens for pornography and anti-wwe sentiments.)

Finally, Asuka is great and should have won both titles.

bork · « **Reply #10907 on:** August 24, 2020, 05:41:11 PM »

Supposedly Roman's return is part of some kind of new "surprise" campaign that they're going to be starting, telling you to tune in because totally unexpected stuff is going to be happening. But this is from the dirt sheets, so who knows.

Dirt sheet talk is that Alexa Bliss was supposed to do something in the SummerSlam main event and was at the show, ready to go, but then Vince changed everything and had Roman come out instead. Most of the crew didn't know he was there.

There's speculation that Roman Reigns is going to the leader of Retribution. That would explain him attacking Bray and Braun, I guess. SO EDGY!

Pissy F Benny · « **Reply #10919 on:** August 27, 2020, 11:04:25 AM »

why would the big dog of the wwe need retribution on anyone its not like they did an injury angle with him or w/e

only way the retribution angle would work is if they brought back some of those who were released a few months ago, but even then it was mostly jabronis they let go
