Pretty much my feelings on it. Planned to get the network again for the Rumble but there's nothing to get excited about. We know the winner and 2/3rds of the guys aren't even doing anything at the moment. WWE TV has given me no reason to care about anything since Brock won the belt and Mania before that.
You joke... but this is totally going to happen. They'll probably be called "The Lucky Charms" and have Hornswoggle as their Leprechaun. Cue year-long feud with Los Matadores.
everything is free on the internet, i'm not giving a single penny to WWE until they give me a quality product.
and i'm not getting the network because the network SUCKS in Canada and I don't have cable TV, screw them
As a story, Zayn-Neville. As a climax (WM 30 vs REvolution) about the same.
I don't even care enough to illegally pirate WWE stuff like Bean Breath does.
Don't be stupid, of course this isn't going to happen.
They also have Becky Lynch to add as a valet to them
The best part about this is they will dress them up as Scots or Lepracons.
When Shamus does the chops everyone must count in Gaelic now

They will be exiled "Riverdance dancers" who couldn't make it because of America. Thus they will be heels.
Stop giving them ideas!!!
If you're going in on the gimmick, gotta go all in, haven't you? Bring back Finlay!
Shit, it's the Irish Four Horsepeople!!!

You know a product is complete shit when Stro doesn't want to fuck with it :/
This is like 7th level of hell levels of fuckery that not even WCW 2000 can contribute
At least WCW 2000 was a train wreck and you never knew what was going to happen.
Here you know whats going to happen and it still finds ways to be worse.
I think Bálor will be fine, just going from the presentation of him in NXT they like him a lot. Yeah, his height will be held against him by Vince (even though he's like 1 inch shorter than Cena) but I don't think to the extent of "comedy jobber".
One was a complete train wreck that can still be entertaining on an ironic level.
The other is just unbelievably boring.
Being boring is probably worse.
I think Cesaro is kinda comparable to Balor, and Cesaro isn't doing that great atm...
"WEEWOOWEEWOOWEEWOOWEEWOO HAHAHAHA HE'S SWISS GET IT? THAT'S FUNNY DAMNIT HAHA WEEWOO"
Becky Lynch came in to NXT wearing green, having red hair, and doing a strange native dance like you'd find in the lord of the dance.
I really like her enthusiasm, and she's absolutely talented, but she's also doomed in WWE.
But Vince doesn't have anything to do with his presentation in NXT. He will have input when he moves up.
Nah, Bálor is a lot more obviously charismatic than Cesaro, even to a "I don't want to see it" guy like Vince.

I watched skimmed through the PPV this morning
I haven't watched the NXT show yet and this may have killed my interest in wrestling again.

you're optimistic, that's a good thing
Nothing to do with optimism, just saying Cesaro was never in the same boat.

When is Vince McBitch releasing the nominees for the 2014 Carny Awards?

If you haven't seen [R]Evolution yet, do it. Best thing WWE has put on since WM 30.
This just proves that Vince Russo needs to come back to the WWE so he can set things straight. I want pole matches, wrestlers giving birth to door knobs, midget hardcore technical wrestlers, and gimmick matches that end in dqs. If the WWE isn't going to give a fuck...might as well crank the dial to 600 degrees.
There was one.
The Mirror was from the Levesque estate
Also the film was crazy low budget.
Those Thunder and Nitros were selling out back then.
The WWE house shows and TV shows havn't been selling out.

I'll give it a go homie. I think I am good with New Japan, PWG and Lucha Underground. However, I kind of want to see how shitty the Wrestlemania build is going to be...oh fuck, I have tickets to Smackdown this week

I was doing graphics for it but goddamn we have a lot of categories and I'm very busy at work. So there'll be a few.

You should watch it. It's really good.
Why you bought tickets to Smackdown I'll probably never understand.

I have a couple of friends that ever since we were kids, we would go hang out at the arena and get autographs and shit and go to the show. That tradition just keeps going except we just go get sauced and watch the show. Smackdown is such hot toilet trash that I will need do some some extra drinking.

Not sure about two weeks, but I'm not watching tonight. Not after that crap last night.
What kind of gimmick could they possibly give him aside from giving him a mask?

None of what they did last night made much sense.
Ziggler and Harper obviously had the match of the night. I like ladder matches generally and those two went all out. They're both in pain today. Giving Ziggler the intercontinental title again just shows he's going to continue to be a mid-carder for the foreseeable future, which is too bad.
The tag match...who really cares anyway...but the Usos are the definition of a generic tag team and I personally don't like watching them. Would've rather seen Gold & Stardust in that match just because they have some personality. Ending on a DQ is something we've been trained to expect on Raw but in a PPV it's inexcusable. And the guy everyone wanted to see (Mizdow) I don't think even got tagged in. His stunt double schtick is gonna get stale very soon, but I still laughed.
Poor Rowan is potentially an interesting character and he seems to have some ability, and they throw him into a match that had no chance of being remotely fun to watch...two big slow guys using big slow weapons for 10+ minutes. The only way they could've redeemed a bad match would've been to put Rowan over, especially because there's no real reason for Show to get the win, and they couldn't even get that right.
In retrospect, maybe because of how weird the rest of the show was, Cena and Rollins was pretty decent. The restart was stupid but whatever. Rollins really should've won the match because no one needs to see Cena v Brock again. Also wtf are they doing sending Big Show out there again? It was already a 3 on 1 situation, Reigns could've still come back and just knocked out the 2 bodyguards without needing Show at all. When he came out I literally groaned.
Kane v Ryback just seemed pointless. There was never any buildup, and Kane is just too old to matter anymore.
The main event was fine I guess. But I don't think they have any idea what they're doing with either Bray or Ambrose. It's clear they're both potential stars but that feud never really had any legs to begin with, and I think both of them have lost momentum. That ending just proves that the writers are too concerned with gimmicks. It's gotten to the point where the gimmick endings are the norm now, which defeats the whole point of them and makes everything feel cheap.
Anyway, just my two cents. New to this thread and it was fun posting last night while the show was on.

So anybody know where I can find good promo pics for the Wrestle Kingdom 9 matches (other than Facebook which has only, like, half of them?)
