THE REAL BIG DOG!

 

[DMczaf]

Keep kicking doors?

All you've done since coming to WWE is smile and job

 

[LiQuid!]

Whose first appearance on Monday Night Raw was worse:

Apollo in a promo with Titus

Kalisto getting literally thrown in the trash

 

[Hidden One]

R.I.P Apollo again

 

[Beefy]

U guys criticize TJP but mark out for racist bullies like Flair and self righteous jerks like HBK and homophobes like Lesnar

Do I? Don't generalize

 

[blackaroni]

Diapers ain't cheap lol

 

[excelsiorlef]

Someone (can't remember who) already did it at a NJPW show

Jado has used it several times since.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

lmao hearing matt speaking normal weirds me out

 

[Jopie]

The first rule of all TItus clients, do not under any circumstances shake Mr. McMahons hand.

 

[Guzim]

Matt trying not to speak with the Broken accent, haha.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Hi I'm just regular Matt Hardy

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Still can't believe WWE is shook by the fucking owl

 

[Caderfix]

LOOK, IT'S THE HARDY BOYZ!

 

[LiQuid!]

Matt slipping into the broken voice juuuuust a little bit is pretty good. Keep the dream alive.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Still can't believe WWE is shook by the fucking owl

Dude they don't want that precedent being set and then used against themselves

 

[blackaroni]

Cesaro....bless his heart.

 

[mightynine]

Still can't believe WWE is shook by the fucking owl

Since the Hardys are the ones being sued and suing, it's probably their choice.

 

[ramoisdead]

I wonder if they're going to make Cesaro and Sheamus a heel team down the road.

 

[Beefy]

Matt's teeth have blinded me

 

[UberTag]

These scriptwriters are garbage.

 

[shwimpy]

Vanilla Hardy's are the worst.

 

[serenewarfare]

Still can't believe WWE is shook by the fucking owl

More like they don't want to hurt themselves later. It's a bad precedent to set. Still think they'll use the gimmick if the legal stuff ever gets settled.

 

[Tall4Life]

he's a big guy.... FOR YOU

 

[TimeEffect]

Matt is continuing to cling on to his gimmick and he'll continue to fade away and become obsolete

Jeff is still the star

 

[somedevil]

Doesn't help that impact sent a desist letter to cable providers for when they were on a ROH pay per view getting one of the providers to drop it.


edit: Plus WWE kinda of set the precedent when they went after WCW for Scott Hall using the accent and the tooth pick when he debuted.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I'm thinking they're building up to the gimmick coming back instead of just blowing it on "hey he's broken."

No surprise here.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Which would be better.

I'm 50/50 on if they'll do it.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Meat on the table that is what you are

 

[Tall4Life]

Meat on the table that is what you are

i have the high ground

 

[ReiGun]

To be fair, if you continually take out the guys in the division people care about, then why even have the division? Guys like Neville and Aries and Gallagher are great for the division because they are actually getting it over.

I recognize that. I don't want them to torpedo the whole thing. But as it is, the division is functioning as a ceiling when it doesn't really need to. They've got like 20 Crusierweights but most don't get any chance to get over because their division gets two segments on Raw and a one hour network show.

You spread the guys around - especially the ones who are actually over and really good like Neville and Gallagher - it might drum up more interest. Or maybe not. But it sucks that these dudes don't get more chances to show their stuff.

 

[ShadyK54]

Yeah. I like the idea of them chipping away to the 'Broken' personality better than 'And suddenly they're broken!'

 

[serenewarfare]

Matt becoming broken again seems to be the path eventually I would think based on his social media stuff, but I cannot trust WWE to get that right when they do it.

NXT would be the place to do this (in fact, it's been done), not the main roster.

They won't.

Again, to be fair, the women managed to get way more over with the same amount of time on TV (and without a Network show yet). But it did take a while. So I'd say just give it time.

 

[SparkleMotion]

The only interesting thing about the Hardys in 2017 has faded away and classified themselves as obsolete.

 

[Beefy]

Bo Dallas hahaha

 

[rrc1594]

Rick a goon

 

[Angry Grimace]

I mean, the intrigue behind the scenes on the gimmick builds up a bunch of anticipation for when it happens AND introduces to the majority of fans who have never watched a second of TNA.

Honestly, the wrestling community is weird like that. There was a HUGE reaction to Styles coming out, but I don't know that I buy that just because that event was near where TNA was taped everyone was really familiar with AJ Styles and TNA, its just that some stuff reaches meme status. Same with Nakamura being absurdly over when they introduced him despite the fact I find it hard to believe the average wrestling geek actively watches NJPW.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

The Marine 5 looks like a masterpiece.

 

[Data West]

Why are people saying "Fuck Booker"? What did he do?

basically told people bullying isnt real once you 'become a man'

 

[ramoisdead]

I forgot Ohio is Alexa's home state.

Still, she'd get a pop pretty much everywhere else.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Oh hi hoe

 

[Hidden One]

Ugh feels like Mickie is just there..She needs new music.

 

[ShadyK54]

Queen Bliss here to save the division

 

[WouldYouKindly]

I said gawd damn boys

 

[blackaroni]

Poor Mickie lol
