Why is neville wrestling Bo on this thing. Alvarez has been ranting about how he best No clean 2 weeks ago?.

Why is R-truth in the chamber instead

Why is Barrett in the chamber too? Guy has lost every match he has been in for almost 7 months bar the king of the ring matches.
 

Aiii

So not worth it

I don't know, I guess they want Sheamus to win and don't want Neville to eat a pinfall.

Or they already lost interest in Neville, but given how he still gets a decent spot on TV and the commentary is telling us how great he is all the time that doesn't seem to be the case.

Bare with me for a second but what if neville won the IC belt?
 
Why is a network exclusive show labelled as a PPV? This was a house show turned into something bigger but is it actually being shown on PPV too?

In the US and I think Canada, it's only on the Network. Other countries where it's available, it's on the Network and PPV like every other PPV.

I lost the TV battle to a Shahs of Sunset + Southern Charm back-to-back. Was Raw worth watching last night?

Shahs of Sunset is a fantastic show btw. Southern Charm is ass.

Another Raw, another Authority opening.

Seriously. END. THIS. FUCKING. ANGLE.

Almost two years straight, almost every Raw opens with The Authority in one form or another, gtfo of here with that shit. So done with this.

Once The Authority angle is over nothing's really going to change. We'll likely get some new GM who plays face for a month before turning heel, because it's a trope they don't know how to write a wrestling show without a heel GM anymore.

the whole authority angle is just to keep a McMahon as the top talent.

Neither Steph nor HHH deserve the spot nor do they do anything for making talent look good.

I would like to see Onimusha 1 to 3 HD from Capcom but considering how much they seemingly dislike that franchise I doubt it will ever happen.
 
Owens left standing on the show before a PPV?

He's toast.

This isn't a title match though, is it? I'm really thinking that Owens is going to beat cena. If it is a title match, you know ain't no one going to win. They aren't going to put the NXT strap on Cena, and they won't put the US title on Owens, unless they wanted to do an Owens/Zayn fued and Zayn somehow ends up with the US title.

Or Cena could take the NXT title and turn heal, prompting a NXT invasion storyline, which would suck because half the roster of NXT should wipe the floor with the WWE roster.

Having it non title and Owens beating Cena, would then start the passing of the torch to Zayn to take over Cenas spot in the WWE. Who can beat the monster that is Kevin Owens! Oh look,/its the everyman's hard working up and coming hero, Sami Zayn!

I just can't believe that Cena just continues to bury these new talents. The guy has shown he's business minded, and it HAS to bother him that he is constantly asked to bury new talent, right? RIGHT?

Last night's RAW was so shit. That ending. Fucking Christ they have some of the worst writers. Hope Elimination Chamber is entertaining at least.

Will Joe get involved or even Balor since he is the #1 contender?
I can see some kind of DQ mess.
Even Zayn somewhere in the mix.

Zayn's getting surgery in June. He's done probably for the year. That's the whole reason they had him get squashed by Owens even harder than the first time.

Wow this month will have 2 WWE PPVs

NXT special
The King of the Ring

Lucha tourney

TNA Drama

And won't even need a 2nd thread this month?
 
Viewtiful Joe is practically begging to get an HD remaster
Couldn't believe my luck when I found a PS2 copy of Viewtiful Joe for less than $5 hidden away on top of a clothes rack at Goodwill. I open the case up and its completely empty :/

I should've asked if I could just buy the case for a quarter.

NXT Special had its own thread.
KotR was a throwaway event.

Lucha tourney is fun but only appeals to a small subset of the community. Same with BoSJ.

TNA is lol.

This. I think it's about time for Trips to let Seth go and let him do his thing. Feels like Cena S.O.S.. Levels watching trips and Steph come out.
 
Yeah, OT ratings in the toilet this month, even with all the shit going on. Is wrestling in a bad place friends?

Nah wwe makes it too easy to access. It why people still out up with it even though most of it is junk.


Also BOSJ is pretty meh, Lucha world cup no one watched. TNA is lol(as FE said). ROH Tv has been great the past few months. Excited for the PPV next month


Only must watch for me is Lucia Underground



Things should pick up in later in the summer(MITB,Summerslam,G1,BOLA, etc)

Decent little show.
 
Pretty excited for the ROH show June 5th even if the card is nothing but tag matches so far. I also won 1st row tix to a WWE house show and a meet n greet for my niece so we are doing that a week later. June is going to be an expensive month.

Sounds like fun. I hope your niece has a good time. Definitely sounds like an expensive month for you, Shapesmith. Get the most out of it that you can.
