I get that but Becky seems one of the worst people for it to happen to when she's one of the few pure babyfaces they have.

She's over enough to get through it and maybe it'll add some depth because she's a cartoon character sometimes

 

[Zach]

I'll probably watch this Ambrose/Styles match today and if it's not incredible, I'm coming down hard on this community.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

The crowd in Dallas is just awful, completely dead. Not to mention tons of "smark" chants trying to be started.

Still have some to go but:
Tag match was good
Carmella and Nikki was boring. Carmella is seriously worthless.
Miz and Ziggler was solid. Not great but just solid
Kalisto and Corbin was far better than I thought. Kalisto also with the new tights huh?

We give the man a lot of shit, but I always liked his entrance music: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=feS1j5j7s4U

While we're at it, have a Bryan Danielson/Claudio Castagnoli vs. Mike Quackenbush/Jigsaw match from 2009: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A1QzDuhGLbE

Trying to watch talking smack and it cuts out at 27 minutes?

If it's cutting out during the miz & bryan arguing, that's correct.

I think they're trying to keep the feud hot, leave people wanting more. Not sure where this ends though, or if it just continues throughout the time they're both on smackdown.

 

[wild wild rice]

I think Carmella is slowly showing signs of development.

 

[sf2fanatic]

So other than the cruiserweight champ, the only face champ in WWE is The New Day correct?

 

[SallyIsNow]

I thought the Dallas crowd was fine. They gave more than what they got.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

I think Carmella is slowly showing signs of development.

How? She's terrible on the mic, terrible seller. At times she's been ok in the ring but mostly just bad.

I'm not saying she's the best thing ever or is remotely there yet. Just compared to a few months ago, I think she's gotten a bit more...in character, I guess? A bit looser/more confident on the mic? Idk. She used to annoy the shit out of me and now she seems to be turning into a comical villain.

Compared to some folks like Nia Jax who are just completely stalled.

I was slightly stoned last night so there's that.

Sasha is ostensibly a face, but seems on the verge of turning.

Miz is 100% face the way he keeps saving us from ziggler title runs

I'm going to an NXT show in Australia on Saturday night. It is still somewhat surprising they decided to put on a show in this area, since we are a bit more rural here. On the other hand, the local indie promotion here in Newcastle frequently sells out and draws a few hundred so maybe that has something to do with it.

I hadn't been to a local show in 6 months or so and ended up going last weekend. WWE were sponsoring it with free tickets to the NXT show etc. Australian Suicide from AAA being in the main event was a very unexpected surprise.

It sounds like the NXT tour hasn't sold well, but that is a risk at this time of year I suppose.

Great username friend

I forgot about Sasha since that's been so 50/50..

Don't worry, she'll probably drop the title back to Charlotte again at a random house show in a few days the way they've been going.

Also New Day cheat as much as the heels do but they're faces lol, I've never understood it.

Vince has been booking unlikeable/cheating faces forever, it's so bizarre

still remember when hogan pulled sid justice out of the rumble damn it, what a heel

 

[FlammableD]

filth

They're going to break the record for longest tag team holder so they're allowed to cheat. It's awful. I wish someone would screw them over.

watching 205 live, no matches for the first 10mins >_>

cool to see Aeries on commentary tho

 

[klonere]

Was it his arm? Can't get the video to play at work.

Favoring his leg really bad sat on apron for while with refs helping him

unlike menome, filth is not a negative word in my vocab

 

[Rhaknar]

wtf at this Jack Gallaghar guy

...hes awesome lol, and actually woke the crowd up, they were into his antics.

 

[wild wild rice]

Shit.

 

[avengers23]

How can it be negative when it conjures visions of a seminal wrestling faction like the Filthy Animals?

Styles has been hurt since before the Nak match, it's not news that when you don't take a break your body deteriorates

I've said from basically the signing on y'all who enjoy him need to continue while you can. No way he's still around in any company in 4 years, and I'm bumping that up to 3 officially. His body won't last forever

Hopefully 1 or 2 more Wrestlemania's at most.

 

[Man God]

seems like aj might be injured

That man is a shoot.

Also way better than ZSJ

I still LOVE ZSJ

at the same time, I regret this post from the qualifiers:

Kinda disappointed Pete didn't get through, I still don't see what Gallagher brings that Zack doesn't. I really don't want people thinking the British scene is just a bunch of grapple fuckers, especially in a Crusierweight tournament.

 

[Rhaknar]

that Gallaghar cat was in the cruiserweight tournament also?

 

[giancarlo123x]

that Gallaghar cat was in the cruiserweight tournament also?

Yeah, watch his match with tozowa.

"These aren't all the categories but most of them"

so where are the others

 

[Mahonay]

Yes. And he was absolutely fucking amazing in it.

I'm going to do a poll later , and there couple of categories that doesn't need a nomination

watch his other match with aichner as well, good shit

aichner is dope too, when's he coming back to progress

fuck it, watch the whole tournament

 

[Conrad Link]

Sad, would have gone to a NXT live event today if they hadn't cancelled it. Obviously my country didn't buy enough tickets. We were really excited. First time any WWE stuff had been in my town for a decade (since 2006).

On a lighter note, Raw is airing live here for the first time ever tomorrow, pretty cool. But it's like 2pm so not many will watch it live anyway lol.

In Ryback's latest podcast, another story about him and Daniel Bryan

"He used to do a thing where, like, he'll come up behind a guy and grab you by the hips and he's like, 'I'm dominating you! I'm dominating you!' Like, just holding your hips, but he would really latch onto your hips," Ryback started.

"So one day I'm walking and we're in Dallas [Texas]. I'll never forget it, Pat Patterson, is, like, standing against the wall. Daniel Bryan comes up and I don't see Pat because I'm walking and Pat's down a little [farther]. And Dan comes up behind me and grabs me by the hips and he goes, 'I got you!' And he did this to me all the time. And there [are] times when I'm like, 'get the fuck off' and other times I go along with it. So this time, like, I was in a good mood, and so I start giddying up down the hallway with him on my hips. Like, legitimately, slap the ass, giddy up, like, we go right by Pat Patterson and we get passed and we look and we stop and we both thought the same thing and looked."

Ryback concluded, "And Pat's just staring at both of us. And I turn around and laugh. I couldn't stop myself from laughing and I was thinking, 'for all the moments for that to fucking happen,' but Dan probably saw Pat from a distance and thought, 'oh, this will be fucking money'. He's good like that, so that to this day is one of my favorite moments with Dan."

Whenever I think of Patterson, all I can think of are stains. He was a confident man but he was gross lol.
