I was watching the slammy awards 2013 since I wasn't around for that and wanted to see reactions. Bryan gets a damn good match out of Fandango.

He is incredible at somehow making other people look good on the match.

It's almost like he was trained by Shawn Michaels and William Regal, two people great at that stuff.

 

[Heel]

A good champion should be able to elevate his opponent, on the mic and in the ring. I don't care if it's Kane, Brodus Clay or Bad Ass Billy Gunn. It's time to show and prove.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Ziggler is now part of the RAW Pre Show Panel... poor guy. Career has stalled bigtime :/

Fandango isn't a terrible wrestler by any means.

Well Cena and Hogan are/were terrible champions, then.

The problem isn't Bryan, tho, it's Kane.
Kane is the one that has to appear a monster, Bryan already defeated the entire Evolution at wrestlemania. He doesn't need any more build at this point other than carrying the belts around (at least not for Extreme Rules). Kane is the one that have to sell that he is somehow a threat again.

Which I'm not sure is possible unless the Extreme Rules stip rules favor him in a big way. (even if we know Bryan is going to win, it's that comic book thing of "how will Batman escape this devious trap?")

How quickly you forget Kane very recently did what The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, The Rock, John Cena, Chris Jericho or Triple H could not do: he destroyed CM Punk and forced him to stay home.

What bigger threat is there?

 

[Sblargh]

I honestly couldn't know given what I've seen from him, i.e., mostly comedy matches. Guy is Divas Division level of "let him show what he can do!"

That was Korporate Kane cashing in his PPV bonus.

We need Jericho back.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

We don't need Jericho back.

 

[Man God]

Outside of the nonsense at the very beginning with Nash and HHH I don't see how CM Punk was damaged at all during his title run. Sure he didn't go on last but was he the biggest deal going on month after month? Yes he was.

 

[Vylash]

poor ziggler relegated to the pre show

 

[BassForever]

So the next PPV event is Extreme Rules which I get as part of my WWE network sub correct? Is there like a list of the major WWE PPV though the year? I know of

Wrestlemania - The BIG one
Royal Rumble - Big 30 man hoe down to decide who competes for the championship at Wrestlemania
Extreme Rules - ????
Summer Slam - Big summer show case...?

 

[HerbertFish]

Fandango is good in the ring and very over with the fans. It's a wonder he isn't pushed more.

Yup, you get all the PPVs with the network.

There are the Big 4: (In order of when they happen in the year)
Royal Rumble -> Wrestlemania -> Summerslam -> Survivor Series

I'd say Survivor Series is falling out of favor due to lack of actual survivor series matches.

All the other PPVs in between are just hour semi-blowoffs for mini-feuds leading up to the big PPVs,

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

poor ziggler relegated to the pre show

On the bright side he'll be reinstated back to Hugh Jackman's punching bag next week.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

We need Jericho back.

pls, his return was almost as bad as Dwayne Johnson's

 

[Heel]

Well Cena and Hogan are/were terrible champions, then.

They inspire B+ players to bring out their A game. You need an aura of invincibility to light that kind of fire.

 

[Sblargh]

Fandango is good in the ring and very over with the fans. It's a wonder he isn't pushed more.

They had these little bullet points to check out on the leaked script and one of them was "does the show have humor on it?" or something like that.

That's where his push is, making sure that little box stay ticked.

 

[strobogo]

Damn, brother. I mean, I'm black so you probably don't want to, but if you just wanna talk about it sometimes, hit me up, man.

I like black people. I'm not Fex. I took a second bike ride to get out my anger and sadness instead of turning to booze. Mostly because I'm out of booze and don't feel like going out and getting any.

Alex Riley finally starts saying something that makes sense and he gets cut off.

Seems like all the major PPV happen during the spring/summer. Is Survivor Series the big fall/winter even to fill time?

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

I still think Bryan is gonna be on his back, staring at the lights tonight. Because he's Daniel fuckin Bryan.

 

[Vylash]

oh my god they just replayed that shitty cena segment from last week and fucking matthews said "i think cena is taking bray wyatt seriously"

 

[British Monsoon]

"When's this guy going to take someone seriously?" - Alex Riley on John Cena.

THANK YOU. Cena can't help but yuck it up. The photoshop promos are the worst.

 

[Phatmac]

Please don't remind me of that awful Cena photoshop segment. Ughhhh.

 

[The Elite]

What?

Big E on the mic?

That wasn't too bad.

 

[Vylash]

Please don't remind me of that awful Cena photoshop segment. Ughhhh.

it's been a week and i'm still pissed

 

[truly101]

Please don't remind me of that awful Cena photoshop segment. Ughhhh.

comic genius, that Cena

 

[Pavaloo]

that segment was inoffensive gold

 

[Sblargh]

What?

Big E on the mic?

That wasn't too bad.

He learned to bring his twitter personality on the camera after they decided to end his IC title curse.

 

[Macho Madness]

This week, Cena has learned GIFS!!

 

[Phatmac]

comic genius, that Cena

Ya gotta respect him.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Why is Steph so keen on turning Kane back into Bryan's BFF?

 

[Mortimer Brewster]

comic genius, that Cena

Backstage political genius. He's taken burying wrestlers who could challenge his spot at the top of the card to an art form not seen since Hogan in his most paranoid days.

 

[truly101]

You can almost hear her say "HE'S GONNA PUUUUUUUKE"!

 

[dream]

How awesome would it be if Kane was like I'm going to send Daniel Bryan to the depths of Hell, just like his daddy?

Pretty bad. Such references only really should be done by HHH

 

[Vylash]

it's kofi!

Daniel Bryan vs Kane Extreme Hug It Out Match

 

[Mortimer Brewster]

How awesome would it be if Kane was like I'm going to send Daniel Bryan to the depths of Hell, just like his daddy?

After the necrophilia debacle from a few years back, they will steer Kane away from anything involving dead people.

 

[sf2fanatic]

it's kofi!

Get the chart out

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Too real for the Reality Era™.

Never go full dream.

 

[Big One]

A promo for the midcard? Nice

 

[Macho Madness]

A promo for the midcard? Nice

I think the IC Title is being slotted back into the upper midcard.

 

[dream]

What the hell, Net_Wrecker. Dave Bautista is leaving?

 

[Sanjuro]

I wonder how many people on the roster have had Rene...

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Ugh, Damn you Titty Master.

 

[Vylash]

Sheamus/Barrett is gonna be awesome even though Sheamus will probably win

Bros, Zeb said he's looking for a new real American. Big E is going over Cesaro at ER with the help of Zeb and Swags. Bolieve.
