Who let Full Sail into the DNC, brehs?

 

[Bluekaveli]

I dunno if I'd go that far. But usually WWE does well with their themes. Last night's Shield video package was proof of that.


The one right after Beautiful People was great too. I've heard it quite a lot now that I'm going through SD during my workouts

My cousin who just started getting into wrestling regularly at this time thought Cena did that theme song 😂😂

Some cool chants going on?

 

[bbd23]

so they are going all out with this new era stuff? rofl

thank god new music. raw theme sucked

 

[Toki767]

So does Dean show up tonight or is the roster split in effect as of right meow?

Kind of expect Steph to offer Rollins a brand new title only for Reigns to come out and get himself a title match for no reason.

 

[Bluekaveli]

I am not giving him permission to show up on the shot show tonight.

 

[Sephzilla]

Hahahaha, the new set is barely any fucking different and looks like it's recycled from old stuff.

My man! Excellent choice!

Dean, Cena and AJ are all promoted to be there tonight on the ticket sites. I guess they will show up because of that, as people have requested refunds before over such sites been inaccurate

I still would like to see one big rosterwide brawl before they fully split up. Once they split up both shows should be kept separate as much as possible though so it will actually mean something when they are together

Except that NFL games actually matter. And there aren't commercials when the game is underway. Hell, if you have RedZone, there are no commercials at all.

I get that but if you like wrestling then the results matter to you. Its just that its scripted unlike the NFL.

The NFL is not narrative driven. WWE is not a sport, it's a soap opera, and I don't know about you but 8 hours a week to keep up with a soap opera would be kind of daunting.

If you watch on Hulu, Raw + Smackdown is only 3 hours combined. NXT makes that 4. So you only have a consistant 4 hours if you wanna keep up with the main content along with the PPV. The CWC is only temporary and is there for the hardcore wrestling fan who already watches a crap ton of wrestling. The main story of the WWE is roughly 3 hours a week with a 4+ hour ppv once a month and 4 hours of extra content if you want to add to your viewing experience along with the backstage stuff on WWE.com.

I guess they have to set up some kind of big angle for Smackdown to try to get people to watch it.

Even 3 hours, per week, for the average person, is a pretty big time investment. You realize that, right? Keep in mind this is all year round, not 12 episodes like Game of Thrones, or if you want to keep the sports analogy, 6 months like the football season. Even the spanish soap operas that my mom watches daily eventually end.

It's so weird to see authority figures put over talent huge.

Holy fuck DBry, that fire, I'm so so sad I missed his prime.

Spoiler

And he's missing his ;;;;;;

We could be watching DBry v AJ programs right now...

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I can't wait for Finn to debut as Sheamus' cousin tonight.

Aha! Vince wouldn't give it to you.

 

[Toki767]

I predict Finn won't even be on Raw tonight.

 

[Kaladin]

Oh shit, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 to be released on current gen consoles and PC.

They look like PS2 remasters.

Yes, PS2.

Also apparently DLC isn't included lol

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Nitro is going to be awesome tonight.

Is there PS4 footage? I haven't seen any yet.

 

[imBask]

maybe becky should've kept that gimmick after all

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Absolute trash.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Finn feuding with Sheamus would be fine for a while

I need to hear "The only good thing to come out of Dublin is the road to Bray" on US TV once in my life.

 

[DMczaf]

 

[jmdajr]

Get Finley and Hornswaggle and we have a faction ready to go.

edit: lol at the gif! <3

edit edit: If RuRu isn't WWE champ one day it will be. ...so sad. #sad!
Than again. Lana.

You can find a trailer and screenshots on AU PSN.

I can't believe fan jumped in the ring and nobody stopped him ! I need a challenge it's just too easy. #WWEBattleground

I love Rusev.

The best part was when JBL calls him Mojo Rally. It's the accent, of course, but it's funnier if you imagine Bradshaw just plain got his name wrong on his first appearance.

lmao and for 60 too

will wait till a deep discount

Commentary messed up the Amore part of Enzo's name a couple of times yesterday too.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Watching Battleground now, I can't remember the last time a women's match was a curtain jerker match. Bayley got some sick pops. Steph probably nervous.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Mojo Rally had the worst debut since Shock master

 

[Kurita]

no reaction from the fans

I had no idea who that dude was

 

[giancarlo123x]

Hyperbole, dude had a little pop but that was it. Shining stars was so much worse that it was depressing.

 

[Toki767]

I guess at least it's 1080p.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Even worse than Phantasio?

 

[Aiii]

Mojo had a fine debut. A decent pop, and he looked pretty good standing next to Rusev. It might be the first time I didn't instantly loathe him, so it was the best he ever looked.

Pretty much the best debut he could have hoped for.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Hyperbole, dude had a little pop but that was it. Shining stars was so much worse that it was depressing.

Where would you rank it then, on a scale of Shockmaster to Wall, with Shockmaster being a 1 and Wall being a 10?

 

[Angry Grimace]

Why was the NXT ring announcer on Battleground anyways, did they promote him?

 

[jmdajr]

I'm thinking anyone that saw Shockmaster live never forget it.

Dammit Big E, stop trying to kill yourself. Spearing onto the floor.
