The next step is Sami wants a real match against Braun because he thinks he could have beat him with another 10 seconds.

Then he dies.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

It makes Braun look good because he can carry a match

Throwing the other guy around while the crowd looks on without interest isn't really carrying a match.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

This is a fine angle fornanworse worker, ala Slater or Zack Ryder or something. Zayn is just overqualified for it.

Exactly. This has been a mind bogglingly terrible story, and this finish was worse than I could have imagined. Ugh.

 

[LiQuid!]

2017 is going to be the year of Corbin, Sami and Braun.

I'd be ok with it. Question is how bad will Vince fuck it up when he starts feeding all 3 of them to legends and part timers come Mania?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Did I miss something? How is Braun a good heel/wrestler?

 

[Pikma]

This promo makes it seem like there's an actual storyline going on lmao

He went 10minutes and didn't looked gassed so it's a start.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

He's not. We just have a couple of delusional folks in the thread tonight.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

versus here's this thing that happened a quarter of a year ago that we kinda completely ignored up until a few weeks ago whoops

 

[blackaroni]

That match was dumb.

So did Rollins randomly remember Triple H or something? I don't understand this at all? Jericho deserves better.

 

[norm9]

That was weird. Why didn't Braun just break the rules and attack Sami after the "match" instead of just acting frustrated? He's not scary if he follows the match rules.

 

[ReiGun]

That 10 minute shit was a soft ball as far as getting both guys over....and it didn't work at all. They ruined it with Foley.

 

[Sinatar]

So he's going after Jericho so that he can fight Owens without interference but Owens is about to lose the belt to Reigns rendering the whole thing moot.

Keep fucking that chicken WWE.

 

[Lemonz]

how tall is mick? He looked the same height as braun

Mick mentioned he'd gained back 2 inches in height (6'3) because DDPYoga helped to straighten his crooked spine (he was originally 6'4).

 

[rrc1594]

Did I miss something? How is Braun a good heel/wrestler?

I don't know about Heel, but Braun has been showing how good he can be in the ring for months

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

i really wish seth rollins would come up with a new finisher. fuck using the pedigree. that should have been a temporary thing when they banned the curb stomp.

 

[Rhaknar]

I hate Rollins' theme

 

[Cheetos is Pretty Awesome]

So this UK Championship tournament for a new belt...does this mean that title will be introduced in the WWE programs?

My best guess is this will be a title defended in other promotions, and maybe mentioned a few times a year on WWE programming. They've done this a few times in the past:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWF_World_Martial_Arts_Heavyweight_Championship
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWF_Canadian_Championship

i really wish seth rollins would come up with a new finisher. fuck using the pedigree. that should have been a temporary thing when they banned the curb stomp.

The worst part is he's said he won't stop using it until he beats HHH with it, the earliest of which will happen at 'Mania.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I wish Seth had a Shang Tsung gimmick where he just stole everybody's finisher.

 

[TraBuch]

Have there always been Russian and Chinese announcers?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I don't know about Heel, but Braun has been showing how good he can be in the ring for months

I...don't recall this.

 

[Barrage]

Rollins just doesnt have a big-time face entrance. He needs lyrics or pyro or something.

 

[rrc1594]

Have there always been Russian and Chinese announcers?

Chinese are new I think.

 

[Rockandrollclown]

I miss the curb stomp. It was my favorite current finisher.

 

[ramoisdead]

Other than the tag team match, I don't think I'm interested with any of these matches.

Smackdown PPVs had somewhat solid builds. Raw may have better superstars compared to Smackdown but doesn't mean crap if there's no build.

 

[Rhaknar]

ASK HIM

 

[TimeEffect]

I wish Seth had a Shang Tsung gimmick where he just stole everybody's finisher.

This would be pretty fun for a heel who does his opponents moves better




Anywho, yeah, if theres one thing wwe needs to improve, its writing faces. If i have to hear sparkle crotch one more time..

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I...don't recall this.

Neither do I.

What were all of these great Braun matches?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Rollins just doesnt have a big-time face entrance. He needs lyrics or pyro or something.

Batista entrance was GOAT entrance

 

[norm9]

Have there always been Russian and Chinese announcers?

Ever since they announced the Chinesewrestler a few ppvs ago, they started having the Chinese announcers pop in for that cameo.

 

[Oersted]

I hate Rollins' theme

All (former) Shield members have really bad themes, with Romans being slightly better

 

[ReiGun]

Rollins just doesnt have a big-time face entrance. He needs lyrics or pyro or something.

Rollins still feels like a mid-carder as far as his character and presentation are concerned.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Jericho is making it completely impossible for the crowd to cheer him. He's so good at controlling their responses.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Finally Jericho does that pin..

I always enjoyed it

 

[Razorskin]

COME ON BAYBAY

 

[blackaroni]

Rollins still feels like a mid-carder as far as his character and presentation are concerned.

Perfect place for him tbh.

 

[Caderfix]

Braun has great presence, looks like a monster and have the strength and speed to back it up. He looks and acts intense.

His improvement and current run shows that he IS good, he just needs to round the edges.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

The worst part is he's said he won't stop using it until he beats HHH with it, the earliest of which will happen at 'Mania.

so dumb!! and it never looks right either. either he messes it up or the wrestler on the receiving doesn't sell it right. it always looks awkward for some reason.

 

[Gaiaknight]

Jericho is making it completely impossible for the crowd to cheer him. He's so good at controlling their responses.

Sometimes its really hard to argue with people who say jericho is the GOAT cause my god is he a master of the craft.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Lol at Rollin's blind selling. Looked like he was playing Marco Polo.

 

[Barrage]

Keep Tye in NXT, its not worth having Smarks spread that "10" trash.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

so dumb!! and it never looks right either. either he messes it up or the wrestler on the receiving doesn't sell it right. it always looks awkward for some reason.

I think with his old injury he's worried about going down too hard on his knee.

 

[Sinatar]

Jesus this crowd is totally dead right now, that Zain/Stroman match sucked all the energy out of the arena. Feels like I'm watching a Pride match.

 

[Pikma]

Was that a hug lmao, the ref had to call that

 

[ramoisdead]

I want to see this for Jericho but man did Rollins fell down from the top of the mountain. A snoozefest so far. If only Vince didn't find "Sparklecrotch" so damn funny...

 

[Rockandrollclown]

Sometimes its really hard to argue with people who say jericho is the GOAT cause my god is he a master of the craft.

He's probably not THE greatest of all time, but he's certainly one of the greatest of all time.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

End this match

 

[rrc1594]

I...don't recall this.

Neither do I.

What were all of these great Braun matches?

To me he has been getting much better. Still has more work, but WWE is building him well IMO.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Rollins hasn't been the same since his injury.
