in terms of quality of product, 3hr RAW is the best thing to happen to the WWE in years.

Smackdown is pretty much always > Raw. Every year when the draft happens everyone laments all the talent being transferred over to Raw, expresses concern that SD won't be cool anymore, and SD always continues to be the true A show to most internet fans.

Christopher Daniels has been killing it in TNA lately. Him, Bobby Roo and Austin Aries makes me not even care that I missed raw. I'll watch again when something interesting happens with Rollins/Ambrose.

Arbys Roast Beef Sandwich · « **Reply #124 on:** December 13, 2012, 12:14:34 AM »

NXT is actually the secret best wrestling show right now. I've been watching that and NWA Hollywood (out of some weird sense of support since I used to work right next to the venue where they used to tape these shows) a lot lately. and *shock* both shows are one hour apiece and better than the drivel that they're displaying on the main shows.

RAW and Smackdown are both unwatchable but I find myself catching a few minutes of them at a time, again out of habit. I used to watch Raw religiously but fell off like six or seven years ago because it all got lame.

This is a joke, right? I'm glad that their ratings are dropping off massively in the third hour now, too- sooner or later they'll get the message. Three hour Nitros sucked and three hour RAWs aren't working either. I typically just turn it off after 10 and read the results.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #126 on:** December 13, 2012, 10:10:56 AM »

Nope. Three hour RAW has lead to longer matches and time spent on the undercard. We have a US, Intercontinental, and Tag Team division because of 3 hour RAW. Cesaro has gotten a 10-20 minute match every week because of 3 hour RAW.

The whole point of the brand split a decade ago was to have longer matches and time spent on the undercard.

They still fill up their shows with crap. The only difference is that there's now an extra hour of awful or yawn-inducing television to sit through and it makes the roster look really, really thin. They don't need the extra hour. It needs to be dropped.

I'd much rather have NXT from 8-9 and RAW from 9-11 or something similar.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #128 on:** December 13, 2012, 10:15:59 AM »

It's pretty simple to me. I only watch RAW. Before 3 hour, RAW was beyond terrible. There was rarely a match that went over 5 minutes. Now there are multiple lengthy matches that all have been good. It's a better product.

I get my wrestling and I get my awful storylines. I want both and RAW has that. It's better.

bork · « **Reply #129 on:** December 13, 2012, 10:39:38 AM »

It's pretty simple to me too- RAW is still beyond terrible. It's just that now there's an extra hour of it.

I know that I am just torturing myself watching this crap and should just stop...but I keep coming back like Rihanna to Chris Brown. :'(

TNA is hot trash and not even better than Raw with all of its #fuckery. Once we get into Smackdown, NXT, and Main Event, the quality discrepancy is even more appalling.

NXT alone is better TNA had to offer me tonight.

This PPV was so cash.

Cesaro wins clean

Sheamus loses again, clean
AJ heel turn
Ziggler with the superkick
Ziggler over Cena winning the mainevent

Bloodwake · « **Reply #160 on:** December 17, 2012, 11:32:37 AM »

I return to the Bore and what do I find? A pro wrestling thread that is still alive.

Oh, I'm totally in on this shot now.

Only problems with TLC: Kofi won over Barrett. Jesus, they push Barrett and then have him lose clean to Kofi. Also, I'm a little upset about the shit that was Sheamus and Big Show. First of all, Big Show went over, which makes no sense. Why are we giving Show a World Title run in 2012? The giant chair shit might have worked if Show was working face but It can off so lame.

That being said, the Shield match is a Match of the Year candidate. AJ turning heel definitely shocked the hell out of me. Ziggler finally fucking won a huge match. Awesome PPV

Himu · « **Reply #161 on:** December 17, 2012, 11:36:16 AM »

Bloodwake, let's take live chatting from twitter to the bore

I think the Kofi and Barret feud will continue.

Momo · « **Reply #162 on:** December 17, 2012, 11:41:36 AM »

Big Shoe went over so he can Job to Ziggler. His recent interview and Ziggler looking strong tells me that.

Bloodwake · « **Reply #163 on:** December 17, 2012, 12:00:08 PM »

Ziggler - Sheamus looks like the direction for Wrestlemania. I wouldn't object after their awesome match on RAW.

bork · « **Reply #164 on:** December 17, 2012, 12:27:55 PM »

The "Barrah Barraj" is dead- the crowd was totally silent when Wade came out. And given how lively they were the rest of the night, that's really saying something.

The actual TLC match was the best thing on the card- I lost interest in everything else after that. Come to think of it, the first hour was also pretty bad. And the Del Rio face turn on Miz TV was weird. Big Slow/Sheamus was zzzzzzz and I left Cena/Ziggler on, but ignored it until the end with the AJ "swerve" that made no sense, but was still appreciated.

There was speculation that Ziggler would cash in on the winner of Show/Sheamus, become champ, and then laugh that his match with Cena would be canceled- only to have an authority figure put Cena (or Sheamus again) back to challenge for the title. I would have preferred that assuming Ziggler won.

Momo · « **Reply #165 on:** December 17, 2012, 12:35:41 PM »

Ziggler is going face though. So Ziggler - Big Show is what I see.

Sheamus MUST job to Cesaro at mania to setup a Ziggler v Cesaro as the big multi year rivalry going forward

Himu · « **Reply #166 on:** December 17, 2012, 12:44:16 PM »

I thought the ppv was great. Naomi pulled some moves, and with her having the Diva belt Diva matches won't be a complete bore anymore. Big Show v Sheamus was good but seemed boring because of the fucking shield match and ended on a high note. The Ziggler and Cena match was great though predictable (obvious AJ was going to turn heel). Have no complaints aside from the short Cesaro match. Cesaro god deserves better but it can't be helped if he injures R Truth.

Only bad part was Miz tv and 3mb v miz;etc

I also see no proof of a ziggler face turn, aside from the BK crowd putting him over John Pena. Most of the roster is made up of faces, so make more heels and make boring heels faces. They're on a good start by making Alberto a face since he was going NOWHERE as a heel. They'd be smart to make Kofi heel NOW because that crowd was dead towards Kofi and put Barrett over him. Kofi is the most safe and boring guy on the WWE roster, switch it up.

Himu · « **Reply #167 on:** December 17, 2012, 12:46:51 PM »

Except for the fact that "we want Barrett" chants were definitely present on the audio coming through my TV for the PPV. The chants were loud. Definitely a bigger response than for Kofi during the match.

Himu · « **Reply #169 on:** December 17, 2012, 12:52:19 PM »

Yup Bork Laser is completely wrong. The crowd wanted Barrett to win. Kofi sucks.

Push Tyson Kidd, make him shave of that spikey piece of shit hair, give him a new identity based around his Hart legacy. Tyson Kidd should be walking down that aisle in pink, dammit.

I watched that and forgot about it. Big Show was big on Ziggler using the super kick. Big Show is gonna job to Ziggs bad.

i really liked ziggs' show last night, he even "showed off". I think a lot of wrestlers in WWE don't fully play on their characters. Ziggler should be trying to copy opponents moves, when he walked to the ring last night, he should have "showed off" by walking UNDER a ladder just to show he's not superstitious.

Momo · « **Reply #172 on:** December 17, 2012, 01:08:42 PM »

Ziggler would become the perfect heel if he watched some of Christopher Daniels mannerisms and ups his mic skills. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does as a face though, havent ever seen him in that role.

Himu · « **Reply #173 on:** December 17, 2012, 05:39:41 PM »

anyone watch the ROH ppv

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #174 on:** December 17, 2012, 05:55:27 PM »

I'm pretty happy that Big Show beat Sheamus clean. Sheamus still sucks as a character but he's consistently proved he's legit in the ring. He puts on physical and brutal matches and always looks like he's been in a war. I mean, he also does the Cena/Hulk/Superman comeback stuff but he looks like he's actually battling back. Hogan was also like that. Cena on the other hand looks like a robot that just flipped a switch and suddenly has god-mode activated.

So having Sheamus fight Big Show and battle like hell only to lose makes him believable. Makes him an actual character.
