The Wyatt Family has gone full Dungeon of Doom.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Bray Wyatt is threatening Tommy Dreamer and Rhyno in 2015.

 

[ChosenPredator]

lots of backstage promos, i like this.

 

[Ithil]

Ptoo!

 

[ScribbleD]

Can you feel the 50-50 booking coming?

 

[Dick Justice]

Lol poor Rowan.

 

[TimeEffect]

Pretty great raw

I feel it's so good that Bubba finally has to turn heel here

 

[UberTag]

Who this Daniel Bryan guy?

Some retired hipster vegan. Just call him Mr. Brie Bella.

 

[Man God]

Why is Breeze jobbing....WHY?!?!

He was the jobber to the stars in NXT...

 

[Colocho]

Miz is amazing.

 

[sajj316]

Tyler Breeze was always a horrible gimmick. Especially when WWE doesn't give them background or promo time to flesh out the gimmick. It's just bound to fail. All of these NXT gimmicks are obvious fails like Adam Rose, Tyler Breeze, Bo Dallas, etc.

Constant thing with all the gimmicks. No time to marinate the gimmick and have it go over ..

Then again .. Breeze is Dolph 2.0, who's HBK 0.25

 

[Angry Grimace]

You can't seriously tell me you didn't expect this to happen.

It's smarks - they expected a main event run for Tyler Breeze.

 

[Kaladin]

HBK exposed everyone last night, they're all shades of former stars and never go out on their own to be themselves.

 

[aspiegamer]

Well, apart from the whole thing with HHH breaking up the Shield via Rollins, and generally being the typical asshole authority figure.

And he's been screwed twice in a row now.

You're not wrong, but on the scale of "character screwed over and at the apex of 'overcoming the odds'", this story is pathetically light. He's on a tear because 2 heels wrecked his TLC match. And that's really it. Prior to that, Triple H tried to gift him a title shot but he decided to work for it instead. And, hey, tonight, instead of being fired on the spot the CEO is giving him a damn title shot. What other Authority fighter has been treated that gingerly?

So is he the guy working for it? Or the guy getting screwed? They're just randomly picking elements from both sides and tossing them into a story blender and hoping something comes out that the audience likes.

I know Reigns was going to get the title eventually anyway but versus the Bryan story? There's no comparison. Wrasslin' can (and often should!) be cheesy as hell, but it at least needs to have some logic to itself.

 

[Kurt Angle]

I was switching through channels and saw tommy dreamer, rhyno and the dudleys are on my tv in 2015

 

[Recall]

This is so dumb

This is so good

Pretty great raw

I feel it's so good that Bubba finally has to turn heel here

I don't believe any of you.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I love the Wyatts' theme so much.

Can you feel the 50-50 booking coming?

Even stevens time, baby!

HBK exposed everyone last night, they're all shades of former stars and never go out on their own to be themselves.

And tonight confirms it with Diesel 2.0 winning the belt.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Childhood's End is so good, holy shit

I didn't have faith in SyFy pulling off a decent adaptation of this, but about 1/3 done and yeah, they hit a home run

 

[Barrage]

This RAW is good, only ibe meaningless segment (LON vs swagger/ryback), everything else had a purpise or built a storyline.

 

[Dick Justice]

Those horns are dumber than Ryback.

 

[Officerrob]

Wyatt's coming down, announcers all talking about Reigns

 

[Queen of Hunting]

So triple h injured ?

 

[Officerrob]

So triple h injured ?

Legit? lol

 

[Bronx-Man]

Wyatt's coming down, announcers all talking about Reigns

That's gonna be Mauro Ranallo's job in a few weeks.

 

[Velcro Fly]

That was quite a namedrop from JBL talking about ECW

 

[Heel]

A good amount of these posts are disappointing bean breath. Can we snug it up just a frog's hair, gang?

 

[radcliff]

So has anyone guessed yet that Reigns doesn't win due to shenanigans, gets fired, but Triple H brings him back so he can get revenge?

 

[Kurt Angle]

sometimes it feels like this thread is on repeat

 

[UberTag]

They're clearly following Homer's laws of Poochie.

One, Poochie needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine.
Two, whenever Poochie's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Poochie"?
Three--

Getting pretty meta in here.

 

[Queen of Hunting]

Legit? lol

Well wwe did the usual will evaluate over night story on site but i imagine he was yes

 

[Colocho]

sometimes it feels like this thread is on repeat

Just like the WWE.

 

[Officerrob]

Well wwe did the usual will evaluate over night story on site but i imagine he was yes

Stop

 

[Dick Justice]

Well wwe did the usual will evaluate over night story on site but i imagine he was yes

It's called selling a beatdown.

 

[ScribbleD]

"Don't adjust your set, this is not 1997."

One of the most accurate assessments Cole has ever made.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Well, JBL just name-dropped House of Hardcore. Guess he's getting pulled off the commentary table.

 

[Freddy=Legend]

Harper has the best reactions when he gets his ass kicked. Love watching him.

 

[sora87]

So hardcore, off a like 5ft stage

 

[spindashing]

Luke Harper, you gem you.

 

[The Silver]

I wasn't looking at it head on but it really looked like Brawn just launched himself over the table for no reason

 

[aspiegamer]

So has anyone guessed yet that Reigns doesn't win due to shenanigans, gets fired, but Triple H brings him back so he can get revenge?

There's no other story ongoing week to week, though. Yeah it's happened before but there's nothing else going on. It'd be unusual to pull the rug out of the only show in town, especially with the current ratings. Now, if this were running up to Wrestlemania, I'd completely expect this. Not that I'd complain.

 

[Matticers]

This is so much more entertaining than their PPV match.

 

[The Elite]

Childhood's End is so good, holy shit

I didn't have faith in SyFy pulling off a decent adaptation of this, but about 1/3 done and yeah, they hit a home run

I read the book recently. Hope it holds up.

 

[Ilive1up]

yea this is much better than PPV

 

[Officerrob]

This is a billion times better than the match last night

 

[Ambition]

wtf did he really get inured? lol

 

[Velcro Fly]

did not watch this match last night so this match is pretty cool to me

 

[TimeEffect]

Was Dreamer selling?

 

[Barrage]

Match is great, and the hardcore is giving the show a great change of pace. It's a shame Recap Queens will skim the results and judge the segment while not watching it,

 

[TheSchwab_7]

Is Dreamer really hurt?
