[¡HarlequinPanic!]

the problem with WWE tv is that it simply isn't written or handled in a way that makes it worth watching more than once a month. You're given everything over and over one time in a program and then its repeated ad nauseum until the PPV.

I don't know if it's to keep the wrestler's safe (they get to work with familiar people for an extended period of time), keep doing reshoots of promos on live tv to pluck out the best parts for a vid package, or just the rigors of filling 5+ hours of tv a week, but that's how the TV product is handled.

Watch raw once a month, and you'll be happy with a capital, triple H!

 

[Mr. Luchador]

- Insistence on exposing performers weaknesses and general overexposure of talent. Seth Rollins is given more TV time than The Rock or Austin had, even in relative terms to the length of the shows. Other performers are forced into situations where they are going to look bad compared to others, for no good reason, see Charlotte as a recent example.

This is a pretty big part of the problem, you see the 'Stars' far too much, so it's not really special. You get bored of seeing them, as they appear on the opening 15 minutes, then on the hour before finally getting 30 minutes at the end... EVERY WEEK.

Arn wearing his sunglasses at night. Such a badass!!

I'll never forgive Sid

 

[DMczaf]

I need a good comeback storyline

Dbry, get your ass healthy again.

Punk, burn out in UFC already and lose all your money somehow.

 

[Sephzilla]

See, this makes sense

But because the Vince only thinks wcw is nwo, we get nwo

Yep, sadly.

nWo helping Sting made no fucking sense. Goldberg showing up to help Sting would have been fucking awesome. An even better idea would be that all of the main eventers HHH buried (see - the "flavor of the month" video used in the HHH/Bryan build up) come out to help Sting.

Why the fuck did Sting have to lose to HHH?

 

[Bronx-Man]

Stop it, you're making me blush.

Stunt double #work

 

[Sephzilla]

RoboCop is more canon to WWE than Jimmy King. Ready To Rumble is an awesome guilty pleasure movie though.

 

[Aiii]

NXT: Respect is on Wednesday, that'll be plenty of fun!

I'm not enjoying NXT that much aside from a few folks. Most of it is quite shit, really. Desperately needs wrestlers like Zayn.

We need Otunga or Shane

Also stay dry Friend. I see there's some drops outside

 

[Jimmy King]

Maybe WWE will release Bryan and Dana White will give us the Punk/Bryan main event a UFCmania

 

[shanafan]

Do you think Stone Cold will ever wrestle another WWE match?

I love him but Daniel Bryan will never main event a WWE PPV ever again.

he's a midcarder now, just accept it

 

[DMczaf]

WHAT

Of course he was there, but that ain't him friend #safe

never. it's not even a question

I'm at dmv, I wish I was in the rain instead

 

[Data West]

That's right. Austin is returning to wrestle Mil Muertes instead

How was Michael Hayes on WOOOOO! Nation, WrassleGAF?

4HORSEMEN MONDAY

Wheres' Paul Roma?

 

[Professor Beef]

Why are they the 4 Horsemen when theres clearly 5 of them?

I bet he got paid $100 and not a dime more for that entire match.

 

[DMczaf]

Wheres' Paul Roma?

In the back complaining about his spot on the card

 

[Sephzilla]

Do you think Stone Cold will ever wrestle another WWE match?

If he doesn't at Mania 32 he never will.

 

[Data West]

Evans has John Cena's regeneration factor so he'll be alright

 

[British Monsoon]

I bet he got paid $100 and not a dime more for that entire match.

Yeah, but back then Jack was just some crazy kid trying to get a break in ROH and some greater recognition, now he's winning tag titles in Mexico. So it worked, I guess

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Do you think Stone Cold will ever wrestle another WWE match?

If Daniel Bryan can't get medically cleared how the hell will Austin?

 

[BronsonLee]

Yeah, Scramble Cage was what got Jack Evans noticed in a big, BIG way

It paid off immediately.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Wheres' Paul Roma?

Trying to keep the Power and glory legacy going somewhere.

RIP Hercules

 

[Professor Beef]

They really did miss the boat on that Punk/Austin angle. Sometimes I still fire up the WWE All-Stars video.

i cry everytime

 

[DMczaf]

If Daniel Bryan can't get medically cleared how the hell will Austin?

Bionic Redneck !!!

 

[notworksafe]

It's not worth it if it ain't a Network Special, bruh

I'd rather just go to indy shows and get tanked afterward

perhaps so, but i like the SJ event more than i have any nxt thing i've seen since then. either way there will be more wrestling in dallas that week then it will be possible to see, something for everyone

 

[Jimmy King]

If he doesn't at Mania 32 he never will.

I think this as well

it's his home state, he'd probably like that historic attendance to his name...

seemed like he wanted a match with Punk awhile back, now maybe Lesnar

 

[Sephzilla]

I think Punk vs Austin would be a thing right now if Punk was still around. Austin should not step into the same ring with Lesnar for a match.

Do you think they would just do a Undertaker/Austin match for old time sake?

 

[Angry Grimace]

- The sports part of sports entertainment is broken, as wins and losses, the fundamental element that makes sports compelling to watch, mean nothing. While they have never been held as a sacrosanct tracker of who is on top or not, they mean absolutely less than nothing now. There is no point in even discussing the quality or style of the wrestling without first addressing this.

The problem with saying "wins and losses should matter" is that they used to abide by this and it meant every single match was a run-in + DQ which is dumb. People still get mad when Reigns/Wyatt have a (good) Raw headline match that ends in a countout.

Im ok with this.

 

[DMczaf]

Guys, let's get together and jump Dusty Rhodes in a motel parking lot.

Guy with a bad neck goes up against a guy who's signature move is to dump guys on their neck...what could possibly go wrong?

 

[Professor Beef]

I am not OK with this plan

Fine, we'll just jump you. *pipe to the head*

 

[FlammableD]

The number of people in the PWG crowd who despise Joey Ryan changes so much from show to show, I assumed it was the same regs every time.

 

[BronsonLee]

Oh shi-*thunk*

I don't know how you took that point but I'm not advocating for everyone being tagged with a W - L column on their titantron or anything but at least make title belt holders and challengers have some semblance of sense. And so KO doesn't have to trot this out in defense of suffering the CenagetshiswinsbackLOL disease that relegates all afflicted with a serious bout of midcard 4 life

fans will remember the quality of the matches and how great these matches were way more than who won and who lost

I mean then I should just give polite applause for the moves and the wrestlers should get a "you participated!!!" sticker after every match then.

4horseman vs Brock, Cena & Dudleys. No scripts/ gimmicks involved. Who wins? Why?


I had to ask this because my buddy been trying to compare/contrast clans from then and now.

Horsemen are old and over the hill. They'd lose as soon as they leave their rocking chairs.
