I don't remember him saying much during the main event, honestly. Although, I actually liked Punk getting in AJ's face, as I thought it helped signify a heel change.

I actually really didn't like that at all. It made Punk look like the typical WWE coward heel. If he said earlier in the show he didn't care who won the match, he shouldn't care about getting the chance to kick both of their asses either. If he's gonna be a weird douche tweener, don't make him complain like Alberto Del Rio or something.

Not sure if this was posted, but Tensai made an offensive remark in his 1st Tout and took it down.

Do a Yoshi Tatsu/Heel racist Tensai gimmick, darn it! I will say, though, Tensai is really dedicated to kayfabe.

Wow.

The dangerous driver part isn't TOO offensive, but the "open your eyes" part? Not so much.

Fuck you Albert.

Fuck you and your hairy back.

You guys are going to be disappointed with this heel turn, lol.

That's it? That one line is him calling Lawler out on his BS? Every announcer in the WWE is deliberately told to ignore the match, and build stories. King sucks, but "pushing agendas" is silly. Besides, King is the color commentator. He's not supposed to call the match. He's always had an agenda. Heel King working with JR back in 98 or 99 always had an agenda, and it's what made him great. His problem, and he's said this in interviews, is that he just doesn't care anymore, especially not about commentating.

No, it wasn't just that line. It was a full match of Lawler's stupid comments being slapped down with measured logical responses. Saying "You don't care about commentating" is the wrong type of shoot, telling him to shut up with the irreverent banter and to do his fucking job is a means to the same ends.

Kolour kommentary King has never been "great". Heenan was great, Heyman was great, CM Punk was great, and the biggest difference between those three and King is that colour shouldn't just be spewing dick and fart jokes wherever, they react to what's actually happening.

Can we really count his general stupidity as a heel turn?

Inspector Gadget had the support of law behind him as he would unfairly target good people, while ignoring blatant villainy. He also seemed confused by and ignorant towards people of different cultural backgrounds. He's exactly like Cena.

We'll just have to disagree there. I thought heel King was great during the attitude era.

Bahaha, you'd hate my booking cause that would be Tensai pretty much every week in my WWE. A big racist hardass who went to Japan to get better but actually hates the Japanese....along with every other race including white people. Nothing overly offensive, but just bad enough to get that ECW riot starting heat.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Silly me.

Tensai IS Japanese.

carry on

 

[billy beane]

So whose going to be the third biggest promotion in the US when Ring of Honor closes in a few months? Chikara?

 

[Enfinit]

So apparently Vince will announce the new SmackDown GM at tonight's live event, and there's "strong speculation that it'll be Booker T."

He is.

Wrecker is a white guy

I'm a white girl

Soulplaya is Kane

Same here. That's the Tensai that we should get. It would work so well as a heel tactic, and he could show off his promo skills.

Why would they do that

 

[Perspicacity]

Smackdown! GM is going to be Norman Smiley, it's pretty obvious if you look at the signs.

 

[SoulPlaya]

SD! GM is so stupid. Just have Edge be the WWE commissioner for both shows, and call it a day.

 

[Razorskin]

CAN YOU DIG IT, SUCKAAAAAAA!??

cold blooded

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Which is exactly why it's such a dumb partnership. The best heels are scumbag bullies that are still "cool" enough that you think "Y'know, he'd be alright if he wasn't kidnapping wrestlers and dropkicking puppies." Instead we get heels who are all cannon fodder for the superhero of the month. I just don't understand the logic.

This is why I enjoyed the Bryan stuff last night so much. It gave just enough of an edge to his character that even though he lost to Sheamus and got beat up by Kane, it's still fun to have him on TV. I really don't know how such unfiltered greatness got through the meat grinders that are Raw rewrites.

I doubt Edge is under contract atm.

SMACKDOWN GM, WE COMIN FOR YOU

 

[Enfinit]

Apparently. I did one of those "Text now for a chance to win Wrestlemania tickets!" a while ago, so now WWE sends me normally a text before RAW or SmackDown, alluding to the night's events. This is what I got:

Why would they do that

Who the hell knows. Booker T doesn't relate to anything and isn't doing anything. I don't understand why they don't bring Edge back and call it a day.

 

[SoulPlaya]

I doubt Edge is under contract atm.

Get someone else, then. The idea of a GM is silly when the brand extension is over. Just get one person to be the authority figure of both shows.

 

[Kyoufu]

Triple H should be GM.

Yeah.

they did and it sucked

 

[Seraphis Cain]

If AW had to apologize for his rape joke, Lawler should have to apologize for his "That ref should change his name to Sum Ting Wong" joke too.

Oh wait, WWE. Racist stereotypes are not only okay, but encouraged!

 

[cacophony]

 

[SoulPlaya]

That's cause Johnny wasn't that good at it, honestly, and they had like three other authority figures, as well.

Just redo what you did with Foley as commissioner. That was good. And stop letting McMahon's (HHH included) on TV.

 

[spindashing]

Okay, where the hell are you all getting these new tags? :lol Beef has one, Razorskin has one, and now Seraphis?!

 

[SoulPlaya]

Weirdos do weird things, lol.

This is not my tattoo, btw.

 

[Sokantish]

They went in that tag fishing thread.

No reason to post this but to say this is still my favorite Daniel Bryan gif. At least you're good for one thing, Kane.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Beef begged SO HARD

 

[KenOD]

So did HHH set a new beard policy or something?

 

[Nocturnowl]

Beard Barrett, i'm not sure how I feel about this...

 

[XenoRaven]

This is even worse than when Cody Rhodes started wearing knee pads.

 

[canadian crowe]

Knowing Vince's mind is topsy turvey. Therefore it'll be Edge/Mick Foley/Daniel.Buryin/Teddy Long.

Bryan as the general manager would be pretty great. You can have him and AJ try to one up each other.

 

[Master Thespian]

If AW had to apologize for his rape joke, Lawler should have to apologize for his "That ref should change his name to Sum Ting Wong" joke too.

Of course jokes about good white Christian women are off limits.

Gahhhh, now I REALLY want an offensive Tensai gimmick going. The religious jokes would be amazing.

WHO'D JESUS EVER PIN? NOBODY, THAT'S WHO. JESUS TAPPED OUT TO THE ROMANS.

Kobe's accuser was Christian?
