WE'VE GOT UNFINISHED BUSINESS, DEMON KING

ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE IS MY MIDDLE NAME DEMON KING

 

[Officerrob]

I wonder what happens / how Vince responds if Balor ends up catching Roman in merch numbers once Balor comes back healthy.

The same thing that's happened in the past, WWE will limit the availability and amount of merch for their non chosen guy.

 

[cordy]

Alvarez said the ring Cena used to propose was the size of the Big Gold Belt Flair used to wear. Dat Dah Guy money!

 

[Toki767]

Meltz said the ring Cena used to propose was the size of the Big Gold Belt Flair used to wear. Dat Dah Guy money!

Bryan said that I thought.

And Meltzer of course played it straight.

 

[jurgen]

My whole issue with Balor/Demon Balor is that he's basically the same guy except he's got on paint and he crawls. He needs to divide himself up more and change his style up so there's a real difference.

I don't feel like Balor's really had the chance to distinguish the two persona's. He had a good run with the character in NXT but that's with the budget and time constraints that come with that promotion. He was on Raw for what, not even a month?

I see him distinguishing the two a bit this summer. Vince is probably staring at him with dollar signs and visions of Halloween merchandise in his head so fleshing the demon out will probably happen this year.

I doubt that's going to happen between Summerslam and Survivor Series. Vince wants that spoopy money.

 

[RecRoulette]

The Demon King sucks, I miss the Real Rock N' Rolla.

This. I never wanted to see the Demon again after that shit got ran into the ground in NXT

 

[Bluekaveli]

I still need someone to explain why HHH's entrance involved police in motor scooters.

And they were riding down the ramp slower than John Cena ran down.

To fuck with Bill. Hunter always trying to go over someone.

 

[Beefy]

I would've killed to see warrior run down that ramp last night

Run and tripped and slid down the whole thing would have been better.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Bryan is 10 times better than those talkshow interviews than Reigns because he's intensely likable and genuine..

*gets open mic, talks about the wonders of Jill Stein*

 

[cordy]

Bryan said that I thought.

And Meltzer of course played it straight.

Yeah you're right it was Alvarez. I got them confused because they actually loved the same segment.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Birdie Joe Bryan is gonna pop any minute.

Aurora Rose Helmsley currently hitting the gym to prep for their match in twenty years.

 

[Officerrob]

Yeah you're right it was Alvarez. I got them confused because they actually loved the same segment.

The liked the proposal, but shit all over the match

 

[Dark Ninja]

I guess it's not a coincidence that Rollins is being called the 'Kingslayer'

Well yeah someone backstage probably got excited that Game Of Thrones is coming back soon.

 

[Pikma]

I'm so so happy for JR but it's incredible what WWE is doing just to kill WoS, they're legit scared of them

 

[bakedcrisps]

Wouldn't it be more viable to have a few guys at the top rather than putting the whole thing on one person's shoulders? I mean it worked with Hogan, sure, but it's not 1986 anymore.

As others have said, wrestling was never more popular than it was in the AE and you had Austin, Rock, Foley, Taker, Angle (and sometimes Angle and HHH) as over, main event guys.

Even the Ruthless Agression/PG Era, with all of the Cena stuff, still had Orton, Batista, Rey and Punk.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I still need someone to explain why HHH's entrance involved police in motor scooters.

And they were riding down the ramp slower than John Cena ran down.

I laughed a lot reading my twitter TL describe them as the married couple that shares Blue Lives Matter posts on Facebook and keeps asking other couples if they've ever tried swinging.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Aurora Rose: My father was the Game-uh...I AM THE REBOOT-UH!

 

[Bronx-Man]

Aurora vs Izzy at WrestleMania 49 is a big money match, brother.

 

[RecRoulette]

I guess it's not a coincidence that Rollins is being called the 'Kingslayer'

He can fight the SmackDown Kingslayer at Kingslayer of the Ring 2017

 

[Toki767]

I'm sure HHH is wishing any of his 3 daughters will end up taking to the business half as good as Charlotte has.

 

[Caderfix]

Aurora Rose: My father was the Game-uh...I AM THE REBOOT-UH!

*Birdie Joe Bryan's theme "BJ Mode" interrupts the promo*

 

[Ithil]

The downside is Balor is 35 while Roman is 31

The upside is Bálor is over while Roman is not.

 

[Sephzilla]

*Birdie Joe Bryan's theme "BJ Mode" interrupts the promo*

BEEEEEEEEEEE JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

B-B-B-B-B-B-B-BEE JAY

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I'm sure HHH is wishing any of his 3 daughters will end up taking to the business half as good as Charlotte has.

He's gonna stick a 50-year-old Charlotte with Aurora Rose, Athena Batista and Brooklyn Rose Orton for Evolution 2.0 in twenty years time.

 

[shanafan]

Shanafan is not all the way there, just so you know

Guess I wouldn't throw you a Festival of Friendship at all.

 

[Zach]

Ooooohhh, I'm next in the lapsed fan hopper. :O

...brother?

 

[Toki767]

He's gonna stick a 50-year-old Charlotte with Aurora Rose, Athena Batista and Brooklyn Rose Orton for Evolution 2.0 in twenty years time.

They'll be called Revolution

Because the Women's Revolution will still probably be going on.

 

[Data West]

Demon Balor should be a more stiff shibata

yeah i can totally buy this guy as a stiff badass

 

[slightconfuse]

Ooooohhh, I'm next in the lapsed fan hopper. :O

No more 2002 shows

 

[ReiGun]

All this future talk made me realize Trips and Steph ate very likely going to be on screen characters for the next two decades.

I can't

 

[Tall4Life]

I still need someone to explain why HHH's entrance involved police in motor scooters.

And they were riding down the ramp slower than John Cena ran down.

Because he got word that someone was getting over without his permission so he had to intervene

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I can't tell if Finn's on something or not. On one hand he isn't jacked, but his body is perfectly ripped.

 

[cordy]

I hope he does but then again who knows. I don't know how Balor was in NJPW but does he have the ability to divide his 2 characters up? Maybe he just only needs to bring the Demon out during the Big Four. That makes the most sense to me. Just have the Summerslam match be a glimpse of the Demon. We don't need to see it at every ppv.

The liked the proposal, but shit all over the match

Tbh who didn't shit on the match? It was bad and barely anything happened. People won't remember this for the match, they'll only remember the proposal.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I can't

Only 20 years?

No, my friend.

We're seeing the Demon King at every PPV. It practically shits money.

Pop quiz... any wrestler's on WWE roster who don't go by any 'real' names? Is the Undertaker the last guy with a gimmick name?

 

[Damn Silly]

Should bring that shit to the ring, instantly most dangerous weapon going.

[imBask]

Guys I think Captain Kirk is a lowkey heel, he keeps fucking shit up wherever they land

 

[shanafan]

Big Show and Goldust

Ah nice, good ones. Funny, those are older generation wrestlers too. I guess it's a dead fad in WWE now?

 

[ShadyK54]

Not sure if it was posted here, but

Spoiler

Balor was apparently spotted going into the Amway Center.

Yes.
