Just when things were looking like they starting to get back on track for Braun.

GG no re

 

[slightconfuse]

People who hate Superman probably have never read a comic

It's just cool to hate him

 

[RBH]

If they intended to feed him to Brock, that might have actually helped to protect him a bit. Injuries suck of course, but hopefully he'll destroy everything during his return.

Knowing history when it comes to people getting injured in the middle of big pushes recently, I feel like it'll be tough for him to recapture this momentum.

Comes back at mania and inserts himself in the main event and beats both lesnar and reigns

instant top tier babyface

 

[Slizz]

Man, this is a pretty solid Scurll Bullet Club shirt

I was speaking more to fans not liking her because she wasn't racey like sable or sunny. She was the "ugly heel".

Never seen this dude before(Still super green to everything outside of WWE right now. Trying to up my game) and really liked his style during WOTW. Love that little finger snap separation shit he did an the crowd chanting "You sick fuck!"

 

[Beefy]

Did CERN fire off the collider again and move us to a universe where this would *ever* happen?

I wish man.

 

[Slizz]

I also have no idea what to think about Dalton Castle, guy got a huge fucking pop though.

 

[Into the Light]

Despite everyone complaining about how hes boring and overpowered, I have read more quality Superman comics than any other super hero.

Kingdom Come too but thats such a different thing
I guess I like a little cheese over all the angst of Batman and X-Men

Like the best Superman stuff isnt about Superman being cool or badass. It's about how superheroes work in their reality. Its about how Superman deals with the population he defends and the almighty power he possess. Most heroes are about being cool and beating the villain. Superman is about being an alien in a strange place and dealing with the fact that hes basically a walking nuclear weapon who wants to do good. Which is why the Snyder movies suck so much ass and literally go in the opposite direction. That superman game on the 360 was shit but one of the most clever things I saw them do was they gave the city a health bar instead of Superman

This is the most beautiful thing i have ever read.

 

[wild wild rice]

JR at Takeover, nice.

Terrible. At least he didn't have to job to Roman

 

[serenewarfare]

Wouldn't be shocked if we see Seth vs Brock for Great Balls of Fire and then Brock vs Finn for Summerslam.

Yeah, I think this is where they'll go. Maybe they flip it, but I do think July and August is some combo of Brock vs. Seth and Brock vs. Finn.

Hey, at least he now doesn't have to job to Lesnar to show how amazing Reigns is when he's coronated as champion for the millionth time at wrestlemania by "doing the impossible" and "slaying the beast incarnate"

BIG DOG

BIG DOG

BIG DOG

I'll bet he jobs to Brock at Survivor Series.

Terrible. At least he didn't have to job to Roman

He wasn't going to job to Roman anyways. He was scheduled to beat him in an Ambulance Match at Extreme Rules.

he's dope

Scurll has been all over the indies so it wont be hard to find his stuff. The finger snap thing is something that has been moving between the different promos.

 

[jurgen]

People that complain about that have never read Superman.

I don't think you can read Rebirth Superman and not smile. He's the best dad anyone could ever wish for.

 

[Slizz]

he's dope

I didn't quite get to see him showcase due to it not being a 1v1 match. Scurll was awesome.

 

[serenewarfare]

I wonder how the Japanese crowds for BOSJ will react to the finger break spot.

 

[Bluekaveli]

JR at Takeover, nice.

Really? This should be great.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

I also have no idea what to think about Dalton Castle, guy got a huge fucking pop though.

He's great. Dude's insanely charismatic, and is one of the only purely ROH guys who can stand in a ring with one of the NJPW stars and not come off looking second best.

 

[wild wild rice]

Really? This should be great.

According to wrassle Reddit. May just be for the U.K. Match?

 

[Beefy]

So Reign's will slap down Bray and then he will slap down

Spoiler

Miz and win the intercontinental belt.

He then beats Lesner and wins the belt as well. All hail Reign's.

 

[serenewarfare]

Braun's situation sounds like Finn's. An initial injury that was not bad became way worse when they opened him up and saw the damage.

Really? This should be great.

According to wrassle Reddit. May just be for the U.K. Match?

Yeah, he's commentating the U.K. title match at Takeover with Nigel because they are the team for the U.K. weekly show.

 

[Sinatar]

Time to delete RAW.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Good luck to anyone regularly watching (ie not just reading about) the product until at least Summerslam. The SD half has a shit main event scene, the Raw half has no main event scene. Half the world titles won't be seen until July and that's assuming they find an opponent for Brock by then, otherwise it'll be August/September

 

[rrc1594]

I like Superman as character I just find his villains and supporting cast boring

 

[Pikma]

That'll put butts in the seats

I'd pop for a matt hardy universal title reign.

he can beat brock via fireworks.

 

[Fox318]

Braun just learned from HBK on how to avoid doing the j.o.b.

 

[Caderfix]

Knowing history when it comes to people getting injured in the middle of big pushes recently, I feel like it'll be tough for him to recapture this momentum.

Yes, but Strowman is something different and that we know the WWE folks are into, a giant monster, which leads me to think it might be different. One can only hope.

I'm still thinking that IC thing was just speculation.

I mean, Roman probably will get the IC belt for a while but the idea of him winning it and going into Wrestlemania with it isn't going to happen.

 

[serenewarfare]

Raw so badly needs a top heel now. Braun was far and away the best on the heel side (even with being cheered).

Wonder if this would lead to a rushed NXT call-up for a guy like Roode.

Some good moments of Scurll's character https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lJtHuP2JU0

 

[kirblar]

This could be a blessing in disguise if they make the penciled in WM Reigns vs Braun vs Lesnar. But they probably won't.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

I like Supes' villains. Darkseid, Lex, Braniac, Mister Mxyzptlk, Zod...he does better then most with his rogues gallery.

 

[funkystudent]

On the positive side. Strowman returning out of nowhere and randomly beating the shit out of Roman is gonna be great.

 

[serenewarfare]

You mean you hope.

Nah, I'm with him. Nothing about those rumors makes it sound like it'll be title vs. title. There's nothing there.

Got my damn hopes up. I wanted to hear JR commentate an Asuka match.

 

[jurgen]

Turns out lifting an ambulance is bad for your elbows in kayfabe.

 

[Sinatar]

Knowing history when it comes to people getting injured in the middle of big pushes recently, I feel like it'll be tough for him to recapture this momentum.

People thought Braun was done after he lost at Roadblock, and then the ambulance spot happened and everyone loved Braun again.

He just has to destroy Roman in a backstage segment when he comes back and everyone will be back on board the Braun express.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

You mean you hope.

I don't need to hope for something that likely won't happen.

Like last year. By the time of Roadblock with KO vs Roman being set everyone was saying Roman was definitely winning so he could parallel McGregor with the two belts. And that never happened. Hell he lost the US title less then a month later.

 

[Kaladin]

I imagine it was more knocking the door off with what I think is the now injured arm leading the charge.

 

[Beefy]

Nah, I'm with him. Nothing about those rumors makes it sound like it'll be title vs. title. There's nothing there.

I can still see it happening, knowing Vince and his love of Roman.

I can just see them doing it. Having the Big Dawg with two belts and looking strong as hell is a wwe thing.

 

[serenewarfare]

Really though, the best way to immediately heat Strowman up (if he's back by November) would be to have him show up and lay out Lesnar. Set up a Survivor Series title match.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Don't understand it. Dude wears a girdle and doesn't even have any VEINS

 

[Slizz]

Damn Scurll has some sick shirts on PWT. Decently #safe as well.

 

[serenewarfare]

The reason Vince loves Roman is two-fold. He has a good look and that matters. But also in real life and backstage he's charismatic as hell. His Talk is Jericho interview is great and he comes off cool and like a guy worth rooting for. So Vince sees a charismatic and good looking guy and rightfully thinks he's money.

The problem is that Vince's booking philosophy means they will never be able to actually capitalize on any of that.

 

[wild wild rice]

There's gonna be a weekly U.K. Show too? Damn. I was just discovering that scene, not sure I wanna see wwes version of it before knowing what it's really about.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Ed Hardy isn't even 6 ft!

The problem with Superman is that when people tell you read these Superman stories, they're all different Supermans. And i say this as someone who likes Supes. Superman is an amazing template to play around with.
