Television Tho Prop Grops Throps

There is a rumour that they are going to add a 4th member to the shield and the only person that kinda makes sense is Balor. If any of that is true then I’d imagine that Braun,Ziggler and Drew would get someone. Probably Corbin.

I really enjoyed that AOP match, it was good, they were good and it just felt fresh and new, wouldn’t mind them being added to it other than the squash matches they have been involved in.

Isn’t survivor series going to be soon?

Yeah balor makes sense. Kurt does too because he has a rivalry with the authority and Corbin plus he's an honorary member of Shield anyway.

It would be good to have their own survivor series battle and allow team Raw to be filled with other talent needing limelight.

Forgot about Kurt. I mean to me it would make more sense to put Finn in that position but I’d imagine WWE sense would take them to Kurt.

Survivor Series would be intresting.

Roman vs AJ/Joe (think they’ll have AJ drop to Joe before that)
Seth vs Nakamura
F*ck the Revival vs The New Day

So you’d have quite a few free from Raw. Ko,Henchbrose,Finn,Zig,Braun,McIntyre,Elias,Lashley

Smackdown. RKO,Jeff,AJ/Joe,Rusev who else they got? Wouldn’t be surprised to see Cena back for 1.

Would ruin the whole Shield "Brothers in Arms" mystique. The TLC(?) PPV aside last year which almost wasn't canon, nobody else should be with them
 
I know Brie is shite but that was shockingly bad, even for her.

You can tell Ruby was supposed to be the one doing the forearm but Brie hit her with a stiff one instead. The kick to the tit looked like payback!

Seeing her completely no sell it makes me think she genuinely was pissed off. Hard not to be when she'd just seen her friend likely get concussed moments earlier from a sloppy move and then is on the end of another.
 
I don't really get the love for Elias. He is brilliant on the mic saying heelish things. The fans cheer him because of that.

Ultimately though he can't wrestle. He's really poor. When you have multiple matches with the likes of Balor and Rollins and they can't make you look good then the writing is on the wall.
 
Are we looking at a Ambrose heel turn with Macintyre going the other way?

Can't see Ambrose turning anytime soon. It will happen but not for a while. The only way they are getting Reigns any cheers at all is because he's with the Shield. And all the wwe cares about is getting Reigns over.

If Ambrose turned on Reigns it would make him the biggest face by far in the eyes of the fans.
 
Michael Cole needs to be taken off commentary. How stupid is he to say on numerous occasions that Liv was taken to the back when you can clearly see her at ringside ?

And his over the top reaction for Reigns' superman punches don't do much for Reigns.

Wouldnt change cos the replacement will be required to do the same esp for the latter.
Cole is decent commentator when allowed to be (and not having to shill everything hes supposed to). The first UK tournament and the MYC show he can be good when just calling action.

I always see people saying that about Cole and those events. They're outliers, two events over 15 years doesn't make him a good commentator.

People also say "But he has Vince in his ear" so did JR and he was widely praised. Watch when Shane McMahon is jumping off the cell at Mania, Cole is reading his "For the love of Mankind!" crappy soundbite from a script. Nothing natural about the guy. JR and now even Corey sometimes make you believe they're believing and invested in the stuff going on.

Cole is one of the worst things about WWE.

Also Cole was fantastic on SD with Taz and to a lesser extent with JBL in the 2 man booths.
JR is the best imo so im not going to compare the two but Cole is decent/good when allowed to just commentate and not push and peddle things for WWE and Vince.

She didn't even tag in she just got in the ring and booted Brie in the tit
 
Brie got the timing of her kicks wrong. She started doing them faster mid-way through the spot and didn't let Liv set herself for each kick. So stupid.

She messed up this too...

Anyone got a gif?
 
Didn’t actually see this as I was fast forwarding but heck that is two straight kicks to the face.



I think normally don’t people normally lean quite far back on that so there head isn’t anywhere near the kick. At least for the 2nd she has sort of pulled the kick but it’s the struggle after it with Liv barely able to stand, props for even knowing to kick out.
 
Just me or did Ruby put Rousey under more threat in a nothing match than The PPV’s against Bliss?

Mostly Drivel until the biggest reaction I think I’ve ever heard from a WWE crowd in that Elias and KO section. I didn’t really get the diss but clearly in Seattle you don’t mention or disrespect the basketball team. :lol: After that KO and the improvising amazing. He is awesome.

Seattle have a decent Throwball team right?

Edit: After some research I have discovered that Seattle used to have a basketball team then they left and moved to Oklahoma.

Kevin Owens is the best thing about Raw for me. I'm so bored of Roman which in turn makes me bored of them trying to get us to cheer him by putting him with the Shield. He keeps being put over. It's tedious. No wonder they are losing viewers every week.
 
For those who follow graps outside WWE, Neville (pac) has gone back to Dragons Gate
 
The thing is, how much will WWE care? They wont unless the networks really care and have a word with them.

I think Fox paying huge for SD despite that shows Neilson ratings arent as important any more. (especially with all these streaming devices). And Raw for USA network still brings in the biggest demographics that they want for advertising (if i read correctly).
 
Gotta read her post. Weirdly feeling a little bit of hype for this fight now.



Expecting twin magic to return and Nikki to win.
 
Nikki has always received too much stick. She's more than decent in the ring and actually does power moves, which is a novelty in the women's division from anyone not named Nia.

Less said about Brie, the better though.
 
After he lost he just got up and flipped off somebody
Was weird to watch


If that wasn’t a work he should never wrestle again it was a disgrace.

I didn’t actually see the match but I read reports of how AA and his opponent were hitting each other with stiff shots too.
 
JoMo aka Johnny impact lol @Castia

Even if it was a work, it's stupid. You basically take away from somebody's moment. Can't see how that would sell tickets long term

In total agreement, quite enjoy watching her, she maybe isn’t at a technical level with Banks,Becky and the likes but she is just a completely different style. I wonder if she could rack Nia, that is something I’d quite like to see.

Brie tho, just sloppy. I hate when she shouts Brie Mode as well.
 
The getting straight up and no selling the finish is what makes me think it's not a work, Don Callis is smarter than that. It's one thing to have them argue on twitter and get into a fight at a press conference and 'blur the lines' but that's the sort of Russo bullshit that screwed up WCW towards the end.
 
Holy crap, just watching Raw now and that Nikki Bella and Ronda segment. Savage!!!!

“The only door you’ve knocked down is the one to John Cenas bedroom and he eventually threw you out the same door.”

Burn. Nikki looked like she was close to tears.

All in all I’m now officially sold on this match, let it happen. Hopefully Cyborg shows up as guest referee or something.
 
Yeah, the promo overall was good. Although I cringed when Nikki said that she cringed.
Was weird how proud she was about being a diva and labelled as a diva ha
 
Yussss I’ve been waiting for this story arc to begin. McIntyre vs Braun that Claymore kick at the end, ooooft.

that being said, surely means that Roman will win the triple threat. Would think the way it’s building Lashley vs Balor is coming so who would be next up for Roman.
