Digital goods are expensive as fuck and take forever on the shitty broadband offered here.

Amazon sells a disc for £32 yet PSN charges £59.99. 6 months from now that disc will be £20 and that digital copy will still be £59.99.

Yeah, I'll never stop buying physical. Trash Internet service is much more common than the alternative too. And that doesn't even consider a PT situation happening from the people who hold the rights to what you get, because it isn't you who holds those rights even if you get it. Not much benefit at all

 

[Serpentine]

Guys, remember Rob Conway? That guy could've gone places.

Hey, he's a multi time NWA Champion!

 

[slightconfuse]

Magnum TA was awesome

 

[Recall]

I hope this stable vs stable nonsense lasts until every roster member has chosen a side and we get the first ever 15 vs 15 tag match.

 

[Man God]

Hey, he's a multi time NWA Champion!

Modern day Ric Flair.

 

[Kaladin]

So I signed up for Demand Progress for .99....what is a good starting point?

 

[Heroman]

They are a part of the Authority who is Stephanie and Triple H. The New Day are not part of the league but just along with them because of the Usos.

The funny thing was Kevin Owens was going to be in the Raw main event this monday but got sick. So I wonder if he will be the Canadian representative or will he escape feuding with Reigns.

edit: Also, on Smackdown a mere Bryan mention got a good pop and a chant.

It is funny that of all people Vince tried to make into the next guy none of them are 1/5 as popular as Db.

When Roman wins the title, the REAL world champion is gonna come out to confront him to set up a Mania feud and get ratings back up

You do realize they spent the better part of an entire year making D-Bry the next guy. He headlined almost every single RAW for eight months.

In fact I think their storytelling worked almost too well/he got too over too soon for the plan they had for him, poisoning two Royal Rumbles!

Are you one of those truthers that thinks it was all a work?

Dragon Lee vs Kamaitachi happening tonight

If you don't want to start from the very first show, Chapter 7 is a good place to start as it's the beginning of the Havoc storyline that dominated the promotion for a year or two. If you want to start somewhere more recent, Chapter 20 marks the end of the Havoc stuff.

 

[Reneledarker]

Ah, cool - don't get me wrong, there's some good stuff on the early shows (Chapter 1 has a great Zack Sabre vs Marty Scurll match, for instance), but I've seen people put off by the smaller venue the lower-rent production. With the move up in venue (from a 300 person nightclub to a 700 person one) they also upgraded the cameras, the lighting, etc.

No problem. I watch shows recorded with handicams and shit production values, so as long as the wrestling is good I have no problem with that.

 

[Man God]

Are you one of those truthers that thinks it was all a work?

No, that's silly. They did start building him up though way earlier than most give them credit for, months and months even. He's clearly meant to be the challenger for Batista/Orton after Mania, for example.

 

[somedevil]

Yep, since he been gone no one has even gotten close to his level of popularity.

If he is not at the Rumble I am wondering what plan they are making to turn it heel again for the 3rd year in a row.

 

[slightconfuse]

Owens the best

You're telling it's not because his fans occupied RAW?

I don't believe you, friend.

 

[Man God]

I don't believe you, friend.

He's the next big guy from the day after WM on, I'd say. The build was glacially slow though and fairly well disguised until the fuck it, WM 3 way moment in the last few weeks.

I'll give Chapter 7 a go, and see how it is. It's good to have a couple of starting points like that.

The chant was over, Yeezus. Bryan was not over, damn it.

Well, that did happen after the gif below, so you're not wrong.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Clearly Bryan was over, not just the chant.

Yes i agree with you. Bryan and the chant are over just like Stone Cold Steve Austin and the What chant was over.

 

[Dick Justice]

HHH isn't over, his theme song is over.

Orton isn't over, the RKO is over.

Bork isn't over, his win over taker is over.

Cena isn't over, his giant chin is over.

Ambrose isn't over, his hairline is over.

Owens isn't over, his beer gut is over.

Remember the good old days?

I'll never forget.

 

[slightconfuse]

Nothing like watching Arn and Ole beat up on some jobbers

 

[slightconfuse]

Ric and Arn are cousins???

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Kayfabe. It was a way to make their alliance make sense, considering why else would two husky lumberjack looking guys hang out with a suave blonde Casanova?

 

[Menome]

Menome I found your reddit account.

https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCir...know_what_i_am_still_pissed_what_they_did_to/

Whomever that is, they have a great taste in wrestlers.

 

[Heroman]

Maybe this the year that they let him win.

 

[somedevil]

I doubt that. Even if they clear him there is no way they give another chance to him with his injury and concussion history.


Brock Lesnar would be a great choice but it all depends who has the title at the Royal Rumble.

That main event on this week's nxt was fucking awesome.

While he probably wont be in the rumble ,Bryan gonna wrestle at maina I just wonder who he is gonna fight also let brock wins , who does he face at WM?

If they do ever clear him which the chance is still low and they have to fill the stadium they could go real desperate and have the Angle vs Bryan retirement match. That match though has a 5% chance of happening.

 

[blackaroni]

A handicap match?

 

[ngower]

So maybe this has already been brought up (I don't read this thread regularly enough to know) but why isn't there a storyline for the US title leading into TLC? Seems like that'd be a smarter route for the Ziggler/Breeze matchup than the IC title, as Ambrose/Owens doesn't really have the room for Ziggler/Breeze...just seems to me like a missed opportunity for a big match.

Alberto del Rio has the US title and will most likely be facing Swagger for the title in a chair match.

Owens has the intercontinental title.

As for Sami Zayn he just announced this:

Sami Zayn ‏@iLikeSamiZayn 2h2 hours ago
I will be appearing on the @WWENXT tour of the UK.

Not sure yet if he will be wrestling.

I know but there was the triple-threat match for the number one contender spot for the IC title with Ziggler, Breeze and Ambrose. Swagger hasn't really been involved enough to make the feud meaningful...it just seems weird that things are hardly heated and there's no real contest for the title. Unless Swagger wins and it's just a back-and-forth until Cena comes back.

 

[notworksafe]

The Comcast dork convinced me to uncut the cord, so I guess I have TV again.

Now I can watch RAW in stunning HD quality without any skips or stutters...and theoretically I can watch TNA. Theoretically.

Swagger is just a stop gap until Cena is back. He is advertised for the Dec 28 Raw in Brooklyn.

The Swagger feud was started before the Rollins injury and was delayed by it. So they restarted after the tournament.

[Morfeo]

Yeah, give us a Fave Five!

Everyone give a Fave Five Wrestler list!

However this time...the twist is...

WWE Active Fave Five

not much of a twist considering people don't get out much

Not injured only:

1. Dean Ambrose
2. Kevin Owens
3. Big E
4. Roman Reigns
5. Becky

I wonder why WWE never tried to pursue Bobby Lashley considering everything about him is Vince's wet dream, and he became an even better worker after leaving WWE.
