WWE should go back to letting titles be defended overseas and shit, like Bull Nakano winning the title in Japan and coming to WWF to defend.

New Paige

 

[Seraphis Cain]

There's a bunch of Attitude Era PPVs sponsored by awesome Square games.

And yet we never got a Square-Enix WWE game.

Square's All-Star Pro Wrestling games were great. Better character models, entrances, and animations than modern WWE games. Check out those sick Vader and 2 Cold Scorpio entrances. Goddamn.

 

[bjork]

Ric Flair stole his name and his move, but he couldn't steal his class. Take a taxi and fix them crooked yellow teeth!

 

[Malvingt2]

No worries. Sheamus is next.

We are not getting a rematch?

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Funny-ass live notes:

My seats were a few rows up next to the set for the panelists, to Josh Mathews right. Sheamus stayed out at the panelist set for the whole show while everyone else left at one point. It looked like Sheamus fell asleep since he didn't really move for awhile and a lot of people around me were shouting at him to wake up.

Dreaming about the push that could be

 

[British Monsoon]

YAMATO, so kawai.

so I guess in the end you're saying
"fuck you sunny, eat shit"

I can live with that.

Not at all, I would never say something so uncouth

I'm sure he wasn't sleeping, he must have been just depressed to the point of his brain shutting down.

Sheamus was legit shook on the panel last night and it lasted alllll night. He knows his career is berried after his snafus.

i bet that on an emulator looks better than 2K14.

 

[ggnoobIGN]

Lol at people hating on a good ppv. Barrett, Paige, Cesaro, Rusev, Bray, Shield and DB are the ones who go over. The future is finally here after last night and you stupid smarks who have been clamoring for years for that happen can't do anything but cry more. God I hate smarks. You don't even know what you want. You people make me sick.

 

[bjork]

So guys with the network: do you think there will come a day when the entire tv library is available? So I could go from an old episode of Superstars to WCW Worldwide, then jump to WWF Mania and then hop over to Shotgun Saturday Night, like any episode I want at any time?

Eventually I assume that's the goal. It'll take years to get there, though. What we've got now is great, but I honestly feel they should have had a bit more ready for the Network's launch. They knew the biggest draw of the Network for a lot of people was being able to re-live the Attitude Era. Not having the 97-99 Raws ready to go at launch was a bit of a mistake. And at the rate they're putting up the old Raws, they won't even get to the Attitude Era for another year-ish.

 

[avengers23]

Is the WeeLC match part of the Extreme Rules replay on the Network?

Have you ever tried Giant Gram 2000 on Dreamcast? I think it's the best playing "arcade" style wrestling game of all time.

 

[Nocturnowl]

The situation with Sheamus is a funny one, you've got these rumours that he'll be in line for a heel revival very soon yet he spent last night looking thoroughly miserable which doesn't seem like the state one would be in when they could be about to have something of a resurgence.

 

[Aiii]

Search for pre-show and you can watch it on the ER Pre-Show.

I'll have to wait a bit longer, then. Attitude Era is my least favorite period.

If all it takes to make you sick is some wrasslin' fans not liking something you liked, you should probably consult a doctor. Sounds like a serious problem.

Holy mackerel. That Scorpio entrance.

 

[jmdajr]

After the rematch!

....likely Payback main event will be Daniel Bryan vs Kane in a Buried Alive Match

 

[jred2k]

Maybe he had some sort of Freaky Friday incident with BNB. They've completely swapped body language.

Sheamus needs to become a character on the JBL and Cole show fast.

 

[Entropia]

I thought the PPV was fairly mediocre.

The WeeLC match was good entertainment. The Wyatt/Cena cage match was just fucking goofy.
Rusev vs. Xaver and Truth was a throwaway. I don't see why they couldn't have had an actual match.

Swagger vs. RVD vs. Cesaro was very good, though the commentators had no clue what the fuck was going on and sort of ruined it.

The women's match was pretty good. Glad it got as much time as it did.

Kane vs. Bryan was good, decent finish. But weird that the PPV ended with Kane's theme :lol

Shield vs. Evolution was match of the night, thanks to Shield.

 

[Macho Madness]

Nothing is settled regarding the Payback main event even though Batista did the job in the Shield vs. Evolution match.

Vince McMahon still wants Daniel Bryan vs. Batista as the main event for the show. Even though tonight was Batista's last advertised appearance on this run, he is schedued to be in Albany tomorrow night.

If it's his last night in, there is a good chance he'll be in with The Shield. If not, that could change.

Right now, if they don't convince Batista to work with Bryan on the 6/1 show, the plan is Bryan vs. Kane in a Buried Alive match. Kane sat up at the finish because they felt they needed that as a last scene if they had to go in that direction after a clean pin in the middle had already happened.

LMAO bye bye bats

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Dbry vs Kane or Dbry vs Batista...in 2014...

Spoiler

come back Punk

I doubt we ever get a full run of the b-show syndicated stuff. I could see OG Superstars.

 

[Mengetsu]

Buried Alive match? Demon Kane? Dragging to hell segment? All we need is lightning and it's 1998 again!

You'll get there.

I gotta admit their drip-feed is working because it causes you to pay attention to newly added episodes, stuff I may overlook had I not known. Curated release lists like this sound crummy for consumers who want it all, now - but at the same time, there's a huge upside to releasing significant episodes.

 

[Spider from Mars]

WWE needs more women like Combat Toyoda

 

[Nocturnowl]

Not content with putting himself through flaming tables, punching through car windows and being comically carted around on a forklift for your entertainment Kane will devour dirt and receive a literal burial from the very man some feared would get buried with weak title booking, the things Good Guy Glenn does for this business and helping cement his Best Bud Bryan.

Maybe he had some sort of Freaky Friday incident with BNB. They've completely swapped body language.

Sheamus needs to become a character on the JBL and Cole show fast.

This would also explain why Barrett was actually able to beat Sheamus clean on Raw a few weeks back, it was like the inverse of those numerous matches two years ago.

 

[slightconfuse]

Bryan gets to bury kane! It we be a good gif
At least

 

[Aiii]

Everyone and their mother has had a win over Kane on their resume though, hardly a big plus on your wrestling CV.

[blackaroni]

Kane should become corporate again and hand out OSHA violations to Daniel Bryan.

truly the modern day Iron Mike Sharpe.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Just finished watching Extreme Rules.

Favorite moment of the night?

Bryan beating Kane with a rubber tire iron. Priceless.

 

[jred2k]

Sad News She Mouse

I picturing his delivery being similar to that of Bret Hart's when he was on the Theszcast.

I'm afraid *sob* I've got some s-s-sad news. *gasping sob*

 

[British Monsoon]

The main event of that Dragon Gate show was utterly ridiculous, but in a good way. All sorts of weapons employed by the team members stuck outside the cage to stop their enemies escaping, super soakers, water balloons, giant poles and a cannon that shot streamers. Really fun show overall - all the title matches were good, although Ricochet vs YAMATO suffered a bit perhaps for the story they were telling. No complaints there though, they did a good job.

Also, this Friday's Dragon Gate show is now up for pre-order, kicking off the King of Gate 2014 tournament;

[jmdajr]

So D.Bry has beaten Orton, HHH, Batista, Cena, Max Kane.

I don't think he ever official beat Wyatt.

Probably won't have a huge opponent until Brock comes back. At this point he's elevating dudes.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

I'd like to watch that DG show. Maybe I can this week!

 

[Gorillaz]

Sheamus was legit shook on the panel last night and it lasted alllll night. He knows his career is berried after his snafus.

What snafus?

 

[El Pescado]

Man, you guys really hated Extreme Rules. I thought it was a good show other than the ridiculous booking in the cage match.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

What snafus?

Said ass and mentioned CM Punk.

Little things but by god he was shook.

Man, you guys really hated Extreme Rules. I thought it was a good show other than the ridiculous booking in the cage match.

I really liked it.

"I like all the people smarks are supposed to like and they all won so it was fun".

Strong gimmick bruh.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Holy mackerel. That Scorpio entrance.

Vader's entrance needs more badass steaming helmet.

 

[jred2k]

The world of wrestling needs a good cage match to make up for that abomination last night. The match that will restore our faith will be Stone Cold vs. the rats chewing the wires in his vehicles.

 

[British Monsoon]

I really liked it.

Yeah, I enjoyed it as well, but that Cena match was the shits. I think I'm just tired of seeing him in gimmick matches. Or any situation where he has to act.

 

[bjork]

You'll get there.

I have a friend who recently found himself getting back into wrestling, and his wife got interested too. So for them, it's great. Not overwhelming and easy to consume. I want to just be able to go "kamala bowling" and have it pull that shit up immediately.
