If you like awkward uncomfortable speeches it's great

 

[ShadyK54]

This is great.

Beth's speech was the highlight. It was really lovely, and as a big fan of her from when she was around, it was great to see her being so well received.

All of the rest were amazing though.

Why does Shawn michaels always look like he's trying to pinch one off?

Hey someone's burying you in OT right now.

 

[Dead Man Typing]

I really enjoyed the hall of fame. From ddp to Jim Cornette, to Beth, Teddy and Angle - they all emphasised personality and moments. Even Eric LeGrande talking about the moments that he got excited for as a kid and remembers were about personality more than putting on a technical match.

I'm hoping the young wwe talent understands the message they were being shown tonight.

Great night. Probably shouldn't have stayed up to 5am to watch it, but I'm glad I did.

Alexa and her mother interviewed:

I see where she gets all her charisma from.

Sami Zayn in the cut just dancing.

Probably wasn't coffee in that cup.

Edit: Miz had the look every kid gets when you see your parents embarassing the hell out of you. lol

After watching that video I'm so glad the match got put on the main card instead of on the stupid preshow.

 

[RecRoulette]

"Danger! High Voltage" is the best entrance music. Goddamn I got hyped for that.

What were the best and worst speeches of the night?

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

What were the best and worst speeches of the night?

Best on TV: Beth Phoenix
Best live: Kurt Angle
Worst: Mrs Warrior

Everything outside of the warrior award induction was great.
Edit: JBL talking about race relations was pretty awful too.

 

[ReiGun]

What were the best and worst speeches of the night?

Best: Rock and Roll Express
Worst: Dana Warrior

 

[DMczaf]

How drunk as Sami tonight?

Muslims don't drink you mark

 

[AkumaNiko]

Wow.

I guess people have plans for Disney World or something.

wait, what did i miss? why did people leave

 

[Tom Nook]

What were the best and worst speeches of the night?

Best: Beth

Others were great too.

Didn't listen to Dana Warrior.

 

[Mahonay]

Loved Kurt's Hall of Fame segment. Seems psyched to be back in the fold, dude was having a good time.

And I'm cool with the Hall of Fame going so long. The speeches were so fucking good. Beth almost made me cry. Teddy was just so god damn loveable. DDT was inspirational. And the Rock and Roll Express were the most adorable carnies on the planet.

Yes. Fuck these parts.

Preach it! I would have loved for it to go another hour with the quality speeches we got this year.

Here's a sneak preview of the 33 stage at night

Best one since 29. And imo better than 29

Sexy

 

[Oldest_Ancient]

Surprised there wasn't a "and I'm talking to you Roman Reigns" when addressing the talent about personality.

I'm pretty sure he had left by then anyway.

He left his seat during the Dana speech and never returned (to the same seat at least)

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Just now seeing this.

Amazing. Please turn Roman heel this week.

 

[The Silver]

Sexy

Dat ramp, RIP in pieces Goldberg and Taker

 

[Discotheque]

lmaooo. the big dog with that heel smirk.

WWE plz. just be smart for once.

 

[shwimpy]

first time seeing Beth and Edge together. they are freaking adorable.

 

[SparkleMotion]

As if it matters. They were going to get heat, just like Brock did, no matter what, because the dumb ass marks like to pretend their imaginary championships have less value when given to someone that isn't there "all the time" then when it's given to popular draws.

"Popular draw" and "Kevin Owens" are two concepts that don't belong near each other.

 

[Toki767]

I gotta say Rick Rude has really good looking kids. Which I guess shouldn't be a surprise considering how he looked and how I'm sure his wife was years ago.

His son is a god damn giant.

Wonder why he failed the tryout

Yeah dude. Beautiful family.

 

[Hex]

Who would you rather the award be named after? I'm trying to think of a better person to immortalize this way.

How about Dusty?
There are many better people.
I have to agree with those that say this is awkward, Warrior does not deserve it.

 

[Mahonay]

Wonder why he failed the tryout

It was during the DeMott era, who knows.

 

[FeenixRising]

Teddy Long going full meme brought a huge smile on my face

 

[ReiGun]

Oh that's perfect! Call it the American Dream Award.

Plus we'd get Dustin doing the induction speech every year, most likely.

The mom could pass off as Alexa's younger sister.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Alexa out of kayfabe just shows how good she is at what she does because she's a freaking sweetheart in real life...


She'll make for a really likeable face sometime...

Alexa is the best mic performer in the women's division and she is also improving in ring as she gets more experience.

Looks like I made a good decision to fast forward the Warrior award.

The speech given by the recipient was actually really good, imo.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

lmaooo. the big dog with that heel smirk.

Why? If he turns heel the marks will cheer for him louder than anyone they ever have

 

[Ithil]

That's not how it works.

 

[Tall4Life]

That's not how it works.

Yes, it is, because now that you're "supposed" to boo him, all the smarks will cheer

 

[Sanjuro]

Shit. I actually forgot about the HoF tonight.

Which speech do you guys think is going to hit a touching note and immediately interrupted by "one more match/you still got it/yes yes" chants?
