Oh yeah because I want Roman to keep chasing the championship in spite of nobody but mark ass Stro caring about him.

Just give it to him and get it over with.

I can see it now: "All ya'll haters doubted me, but I told ya'll I'd get the championship from Brock after 10 tries."

How was Schiavone? Was he the same as always? He's a big selling point for me.

FunSlower · « **Reply #5282 on:** July 31, 2018, 03:57:25 PM »

I'll put up with Striker being Striker if I get Schiavone being Schiavone.

I have been digging their format on his WHW podcast. They hit play on an old show and talk with it. Tony's great. He really is.

He gets very excited when he sees some crazy shit or an old dude pops up that he used to know, then baffled at some modern indie fuckery type shit, but it's nice to have him back. Kind of crazy no one was able to get him to call wrestling for almost 20 years. Who the fuck is bankrolling MLW? Their roster and production seems like they'd be burning through money.

I assume all these things are some sort of scams run by old and busted 90s alt rock acts. Schiavone strikes me as a Candlebox kind of guy.

I doubt it’s a KISS shop. I don’t see the KISS Demon on the roster.

FunSlower · « **Reply #5285 on:** August 01, 2018, 04:35:04 PM »

Schiavone talks at length about how much of a KISS fanatic he was, and how his dream was to announce them, and he got to do that

WCW was good for fulfilling weird dreams

Keith Lee finally debuted on this week's NXT, he looked great. Can't wait to see how WWE ruins him once he gets called up to the main roster, my money is on Vince making him a dumb comedy act.

"He's huge, black and funny! Gonna bring back that Vinnie Vegas gimmick for this guy!"

Unless Brock/Roman start their match with some crazy spot and like, destroy the ring/set/everything at ringside, crowd is going to shit so hard on that match. They're obviously going to shit on Roman regardless, but the build for the match is they also want smarks and marks alike to resent Brock. There's no good outcome crowd wise outside of a cash in.

Would it be more to have Roman finally beat Brock and then have an immediate cash in and lose (which they already did with him once but it did work pretty well) or have Brock beat Roman AGAIN and then Braun/KO swoop in and steal a win on him while Roman cries and giant dadded again?

Could do another mid-match cash in, even though they just did that...and they did it to Roman/Bork before. Maybe do that and have Roman get pinned so Bork doesn't take an L. Kinda no matter what they do it is gonna be dumb at this point, just because of how many times Roman has flopped against Bork

nachobro · « **Reply #5292 on:** August 10, 2018, 02:58:31 PM »

I don't know what it sounded like on TV, but goddamn the reaction to that match was hilarious live. The next year was even worse, 100k people mostly all booing Roman at once and cheering for Steph calling them mindless sheep or w/e

R.I.P. Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. :'(

Watched most of Raw last night. Considering that this was the go-home show before Summer Slam, it was pretty

. Just an absolute snoozer with no real hype. It was nice having Renee Young doing color commentary in place of Coachman, though. Too bad that's not permanent.

The biggest things on the show were Heyman coming out and trying to become Roman's agent and then SURPRISE BUT NOT REALLY he sprays something in Roman's eyes and then after what seems like way too long and Roman stumbling around doing a bad acting job of pretending to be blinded, out comes Brock to beat him up. ZZZZzzzzz.

Then the main event segment was Angle coming out with Dolph Ziggler (who now looks like 2003 Evolution-era HHH in disco clothes or something) and Drew for the official Intercontinental Championship contract signing. SNORE. Rollins appears to be a no-show, so Dolph takes the mic and cuts a five minute promo that nobody gives a shit about -because he's Dolph- and then SURPRISE AGAIN IT'S ROLLINS and he's late because he was helping SURPRISE RETURN BUT ALSO NOT REALLY Dean Ambrose get to the arena. Dean, who has facial hair and has chopped off most of his hair, now looks like he's in his 50s and they go after the heels to close out the show.

Pretty bad, 'E. Pretty bad. Even for you guys.

Dirt sheets this morning are also saying that house shows are advertising Roman vs. Braun for future shows, so I guess one of them is going heel. Hope it's Roman. But it won't be. $:-\$

Got no hype for Summerfest. Looking forward to NXT Takeover.

So pretty much business as usual.

From an NXT Takeover media conference call session with HHH:

Quote

The next guy said that he was burned out by the main roster and the only show he is looking forward to is NXT. He said that SummerSlam would go too long while NXT is crisp and on point. He asked H is sometimes he wishes he could step back and put the NXT approach to the main roster. H said he wishes he could fly and walk on water. He said everyone has opinions on things and they are free to express them. H is happy he likes NXT. He again said people have different likes and dislikes. The great thing for WWE is that they don’t have a shy fan base and the fans will let them know. He said eventually they hear the fan base. He said that they encourage the fans to let them know what they think.

I love whoever it was who said this to HHH.

bork · « **Reply #5306 on:** August 16, 2018, 02:59:12 PM »

It's another five hour PPV, yeah. Seven counting the pre-show.

I think I feel obligated to watch these PPVs since I'm being dumb and paying for the network instead of doing that free month trick you were talking about before. If I stop...I probably won't watch it all anymore. And that doesn't sound too bad- but I don't mind using it as background noise either and looking over if something interesting happens.

Have gotten to the point now where it's the norm for me to not watch weekly TV at all.
