LOL if he's in there so that Brock or Roman can lose without getting pinned.

bork · « **Reply #5344 on:** August 19, 2018, 10:54:55 PM »

OK, so not in the match but will cash in and take on whoever wins at the end. Works for me but he better not lose.

bork · « **Reply #5345 on:** August 19, 2018, 10:56:09 PM »

Guess this is going to be a quick match...which is good. THANK YOU BRAUN

Please don't let it end this way. I was actually hyped for a second there with Braun coming out.

No cash in lol

bork · « **Reply #5351 on:** August 19, 2018, 11:03:19 PM »

Aaaand they did it. They're really ending it this way.

Oh well, guess no more part-time champ and now Braun can go take it from Roman later on.

Awful PPV overall. NXT shat all over this, as usual.

AJ vs. Joe was very good and was one of the few matches where a DQ finish was fine since it helps segue into HiaC.
Rollins vs. Ziggler and Bryan vs. Miz were fine

but kinda boring after spending a month watching G1

Everything else sucked.

At least the WWE took the belts off Carmella, Alexa, and the part-time champ.

Too many shitty finishes-

Bludgeons/New Day- DQ
AJ/Joe- DQ
Bryan/Miz- Miz is given a weapon and cheats to win
Roman/Brock- Too much shit with the MiTB tease

The best thing that happened on the PPV was Becky beating up Charlotte after their match. Which the crowd popped big time for.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #5356 on:** August 20, 2018, 10:17:34 AM »

If WWE seriously thinks that Charlotte is gonna be the face and Becky the heel in this feud... welp. I mean I guess they've spent years shitting on Becky AND it is the WWE creative team, so can't say I'm surprised.

bork · « **Reply #5357 on:** August 20, 2018, 10:44:32 AM »

Dirt sheet rumors:

Quote

While there are still other options on the table, Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE is considering main eventing Evolution with Ronda Rousey vs. Nikki Bella. The idea is to headline with their two biggest mainstream stars.

Nikki Bella is the other "big mainstream star?"

I guess...?

Quote

On Observer Radio, backstage plans for turning Asuka heel were also discussed.

Aren't they not going to have enough faces if they do this?

Quote

During his post TakeOver: Brooklyn 4 media call, Triple H said Johnny Gargano’s knee injury was legitimate. While there’s still some question as to how serious it was, PW Insider says it did result in the finish of his match with Tommaso Ciampa being changed, although the plan was always for Ciampa to retain the NXT title.

Oh shit, if he's sidelined who is going to feud with Ciampa?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #5358 on:** August 20, 2018, 12:32:20 PM »

Squash matches are a necessity if you're going to dual brand every ppv and have the fucker run 4 hours while still giving each match a 3-5 minute recap package I guess.

Quote from: Stro on August 20, 2018, 01:51:37 PM

If all you can come up with is a squash on PPV, the match doesn't need to be booked.

Agreed. Especially when with a dual-brand PPV, you should have plenty of talent available to have actual good, well-planned/executed matches. And yet...

I really cannot wait for Vince to stop being in charge. It has got to be him that's keeping things from being better. That would certainly explain NXT.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #5360 on:** August 20, 2018, 03:27:50 PM »

You're assuming that WWE views themselves as selling a wrestling product rather than an entertainment product. I have bad news...

bork · « **Reply #5361 on:** August 20, 2018, 08:23:09 PM »

So what is going to be the outcome here? Brock interrupts the Roman/Finn match or Braun does?

Quote from: Exodust on August 20, 2018, 08:01:51 PM

So Roman just came out to both cheers and boos. Guess the Cenafication is in full effect.

Did you miss the giant "you still suck" chants he was getting?

Quote from: Exodust on August 20, 2018, 08:43:09 PM

He was still getting audible cheers. Sounded a lot like what Cena usually gets so I made a note of it

Didn't sound that way to me. Cena gets a clear mix of both- Roman isn't just booed, but gets shit on with chants and only gets cheers in a few cities.

But hey, maybe that will change. Not going to say I doubt it when it comes to this company.

TVC15 · « **Reply #5363 on:** August 20, 2018, 09:09:34 PM »

Trips giving a ten minute promo for a c-list PPV in a country even shittier than Saudi Arabia. Good job, Raw.

i wouldnt be surprised if sasha bounced from wwe by this time next year. she looked totally checked out in that ronda/steph segment and i doubt she'll be back in the women's ME scene at all when she should be the centerpiece.

Is Braun not being allowed to cash in his new gimmick?

Is that going to be better or worse than Carmella's "tries to cash in but ref is unsure she wants to cash in and eventually she runs away scared" gimmick tho?

bork · « **Reply #5366 on:** August 21, 2018, 08:47:32 PM »

The main event segment last night had me wondering who was supposed to be the face here- the crowd popped big for the Shield, who then heeled it up to attack Braun. No doubt they did that to get the crowd to stop booing Roman. Dirtsheets are saying that the move to make Baron GM of Raw is also to get heat on him and off Roman. Maybe they could just stop forcing him down people's throats instead?

SD is a "special edition" for reasons I don't know. Miz and Maryse will be taking on Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella at the next PPV.

bork · « **Reply #5367 on:** August 21, 2018, 08:51:34 PM »

Time for the Bludgeons to drop the belts to the New Day- Rowen injured his arm and will be out indefinitely.

bork · « **Reply #5368 on:** August 21, 2018, 09:02:15 PM »

Becky is cutting a promo that is starting to feel like a shoot. Doing a good job of shitting on the crowd to turn them against her...although they're still cheering anytime she shits on Charlotte.

bork · « **Reply #5369 on:** August 21, 2018, 09:03:31 PM »

Charlotte out to muted boos.

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Becky Lynch turning on Charlotte Flair is not something that surprised WWE officials. The entire storyline has been planned from day one with the expectation that the audience in New York would pop bigtime for Lynch attacking Flair as she has been built as an underdog babyface. Ultimately, it is not a heel turn much like what has happened with the Sasha Banks and Bayley storyline over on Raw.

Didn't bother with Raw and checked out the highlights on Youtube instead. When Roman comes out, the crowd is mostly boos...and when Ambrose and Rollins come out next...there's some boos too. Doing a great job.

WWE has kicked Jonathan Coachman off of RAW and he's now just going to be on the kickoff shows.

Renee Young is taking his place.

nachobro · « **Reply #5390 on:** September 10, 2018, 04:27:48 PM »

I'm glad Renee is taking over, she really is great on commentary. However it's also football season so I won't be watching Raw for a few months. I wasn't really able to make it through a complete show in a while so this isn't a major change.

bork · « **Reply #5391 on:** September 10, 2018, 04:30:44 PM »

Maybe I'm crazy and remember him being better before he first left the WWE, but I would have thought that Coachman being at ESPN would have helped him stepped his game up. Instead he returned much worse than he was before. All the times that Graves and even Cole shit on him for fucking up.

Speaking of big changes, Paige got ~~some nice tits~~ a new haircut.

Former WWE Universal champion Brock Lesnar is backstage at tonight's WWE Hell in a Cell, the first time he's been backstage at a WWE show since dropping the title at SummerSlam. According to PW Insider, Lesnar is walking around in the back in full view of all the other talent and officials, so the company is not making any attempt to hide him as they usually do for surprise appearances. As such, it remains unclear if Lesnar is scheduled to appear on camera at the PPV tonight.

Quote

Matt Hardy is backstage at Hell in a Cell, after apparently retiring from in-ring competition after last night's house show in Corpus Christi. This isn't really a surprise as Hardy has been backstage at recent WWE events working as a producer.

Quote

Nia Jax, who has been off of TV while nursing a reported leg injury, is also backstage tonight at the PPV but whether she is involved in the show is also unknown.
