Liquidsnake, much like Flair, you bet on the wrong horse.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The Vaudevillians look like two random guys at a craft beer bar.
And still the question has yet to be answered: why is a 6'3" 210 pound wrestler, known for athleticism, utilizing various powerbombs in his arsenal, and using them on giants no less.

Hey Wrassle-GAF, long time lurker but definitely not a creep(then again who can resist bootay's bootay?).
So what do I do now? List some top 5's? Talk about how awesome Robocop is? Work myself into a shoot? I'm just a lowly jobber who needs to be shaped and formed by WWE's talent development.
Here's eight random all time favorites of mine anyway:
Stone Cold
Bret Hart
Sting
Ultimo Dragon
Undertaker
Scott Hall
Ric Flair
Macho Man

Yeah, that Eva match was pretty bad. Especially the ending.
They certainly wouldn't look out of place.

There's two problems. First, the strength to pull it off. Second, if a much smaller competitor is going to use traditional monster power moves on said monsters, it goes a long way to making those monsters look like chumps. And for what? A half-second ovation from the crowd?
That's unfair to the Bella Twins. Eva looks like she has to concentrate to walk without falling over in there. Cameron's not very good but at least she emotes and reacts to the things that are happening to and around her.
We make TV movies every single week, god damn it. Of course we can make movies.
Yeah it's a pretty stupid spot overall.

Wow, why dont they stick to Scooby Doo?
Like seriously, that was awesome.
Playing the wrestler's theme any time they are around is just so cool. Camp WWE sounds fun too.

A) Seth is ridiculously strong for his size,
B) Seth doesn't do a standard powerbomb where he lifts the other dude from ground level. he always slips under and just basically carries them over to the turnbuckle. Here, he just basically fell forward with Kane (after busting his knee).
C) Seth is ridiculously strong for his size. He's basically 85% Cesaro in size and strength.
Much sadness at hurt Seth. Hope he's better soon and doing Falcon Arrows on guys twice his size.
It doesn't fit his character at all either.
It's like he has no idea how to wrestle as anything other than a big move/gif highlight reel. People shit on Roman for only being the hot tag, but Seth has no sense of alignment and the fact that he's a bad guy. Other than the fact that they're booked to pin him, which isn't a choice Seth makes, he has never ever made a face look good. He is always about getting his shit in even when losing. He can't help a babyface build fire at ALL
The buckle bomb is a feat of strength when he runs across the ring and tosses the opponent. If anything it's supposed to demonstrate his strength more than a traditional power bomb. He's an average sized competitor at best and he's doing this to KANE.
It's incredibly stupid for him to do this move to anyone larger than him. It's a god damn power bomb. If he were to perform a modified choke slam it would look ridiculous, just like this.
Diesel did one sunset flip and Undertaker took him to the woodshed for it. Someone should be doing the same to Rollins and anyone else who is guilty of this, but it's WWE 2015 and everything is the indies from 3 years ago now.
As usual, said much better than I could put it. At this point he needs to become a face just so his matches improve.

While I suspect it's largely due to lack of recognition, apathy and overwork, some of the road agents need to be purged from the WWE system. Seth shouldn't be using power bombs in much the same way D.Brine should have not been doing flying headbutts upon his return from injury earlier this year.

As a craft beer nerd I can assure you that their looks would not be unique at all. I've seen the haircuts and facial hair several times.
As for Eva, she looks and wrestles like what I assume WrestlingBots will be like about 10 years from now. The only redeeming part of her match was that her opponent was cute.
BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

Perfectly executed. Very slow, very cerebral.
Knows how to build anticipation and crowd excitement. "Will she? Won't she?"

Meh. This reads like Cesaro shouldn't be doing a delayed suplex for 30 seconds because Ryback can barely manage one for 3 seconds with the victim bracing themselves as hard as they can.
Cesaro looks like just over a mid-sized guy (though he's tall). Ryback is a monster but he's incompetent and surprisingly, comparatively weak for his size.
The biggest guys in the company are weak as fuck when is comes to ring moves (Henry, Show, Ryback, Kane, Big E, even Rusev) while the upper mid-size guys are super strong with moves (Cesaro, Seth, Owens, even Cena). Then you've got guys that can't do anything at all (Ambrose, Ziggler, anything WWE cultivated like Breeze, Sandow, Miz, or Fandango).
I would stop watching the already garbage tier shows they put on if I couldn't see the upper mid sized guys wrestle like bosses.

Well, at least someone appreciates Eva Marie.
Incidentally, she's older than the following divas...
- Alexa Bliss
- Alicia Fox
- Bayley
- Becky Lynch
- Billie Kay
- Cameron
- Carmella
- Charlotte
- Dana Brooke
- Dasha Fuentes
- Emma
- JoJo
- Lana
- Naomi
- Paige
- Peyton Royce
- Renee Young
- Sasha Banks
So they're investing in her despite the fact that she sucks ass, has zero growth potential AND she has a limited shelf life on top of that.
Using them at house shows. Makes no sense.
If he is practicing a new move or something, I can understand, but he has been doing these since day one.

He's made Dean Ambrose look good on multiple occasions. That ladder match was among the best WWE matches of the year thus far, and Ambrose looked like a totally credible contender in it.

Even the already-buried Tyler Breeze? They could make him into a star?
Oooh... Prince Pretty still has hope everyone!
And making Ambrose look good in the ring is nearly impossible.
That is...unless you're just repeatedly beating the piss out of him. Ambrose takes a good beating and can still function, such as his moveset is anyway.

With all these injuries, I'm wondering how much longer they're planning to keep Balor in NXT, to be honest. Dude's already what, 34?

He needs to become a face because being cast out by his dark mentor HHH and being forced to redeem himself after years of being an entitled cunt is the logical arc for his character to take, in terms of storytelling.

I sincerely hate how they didn't keep the kayfabe of the ministry of darkness. In this Iron Circle match, why are Mideon and Viscera there? Especially without their attire. Viscera looks like a hip goth and Mideon ia wearing a Golds Gym shirt.

SHE'S HOT
And was those sexy dead eyes.
It's something I've noticed in the WWE community since I started watching. People complain that things are stale, but then also complain when faces and heels do something they're not 'supposed' to do.
Seth Rollins' run with the belt has actually had an evolution because he's progressively doing flashier moves in matches. Remember back in May/June when he only won title matches thanks to interference from J&J/Kane?
Now he's winning all by himself and showing off with each subsequent victory because that's where the story is going. He finally believes he's "The Man" rather than being propped up by backstage help.
He's dropping the belt at some point, whether it be to Reigns, Sheamus or HHH and it wouldn't have the same impact if he was the same squirrelly weasel he was six months ago. Now he's a fighting weasel and that makes the eventual victory of whomever a lot sweeter.
