..Had a dog in my lap getting in the way of my typing..
ReplyDeleteEnglish isn't my first language.
ReplyDeleteI know, I know...it's a real socker.
Fair enough
ReplyDeleteMan, how could they forget about the Authority losing power for 40 days? That's practically forever!
ReplyDelete10 ways 2014 changed WWE forever
ReplyDelete#3 The Authority’s reign of terror ends
That changed the WWE forever?? They lost power for 5 whole weeks.
No.. they probably just fucked.
ReplyDeleteCool. Now...do YOU think Savage and Stephanie slept together?
ReplyDelete"Orton appeared after RAW went off of the air and hit J&J security with RKO's then celebrated with Cena, but then he turned on Cena and they announced the match you've all been waiting for: CENA vs. ORTON: THIS TIME it's PERSONAL, AGAINFINITY."
ReplyDeleteAnd the guy who actually did it wasn't even in the main-event angle!
ReplyDeleteWe've all been there.
ReplyDeletePeanut Butter on the nutsack, AMIRITE?
I have big money backing me.
ReplyDeleteoh, yeah.
That poor dog. :(
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, WWE has made 3 Hours on Monday night "forever". So hell, 40 days is a trip to pluto at this point.
ReplyDeleteNO REALLY IT IS.
ReplyDelete..I want to say no however the fact that it is the only real reason we have heard of for the Mach Man black balling by Vince AND vince has time and time again made peace with guys he had huge beefs with.....makes me lean towards yes.
ReplyDeleteUm. No. We have NOT all been there.
ReplyDeleteWell, you know their slogan:
ReplyDelete"THEN.
NOW.
FOREVER...
FOR 5 WEEKS."
Yeah, I can't see Savage sleeping. Ever.
ReplyDeleteSucks to be you.
ReplyDeleteThen he has no business being in this err... buisness!
ReplyDeleteSpeak for yourself, and Scherer.
ReplyDeleteCocaine is a helluva drug.
ReplyDeleteScott, your next piece of literature should be about 2014. Pretty bad year.
ReplyDeleteYeah...sucks that I'm not into bestiality.
ReplyDeleteIf you people are to jaded to enjoy a dog cuddle then I weep for you .
ReplyDeleteThat's not a dog cuddle he was describing...
ReplyDeleteI'm too jaded to feel anything but unbridled agony.
ReplyDeleteI know, right?
ReplyDeleteTHE FINAL FINAL CHAPTER (Honest!)
ReplyDeleteAnd on that note...Happy New Year!!!
ReplyDeleteWell then. Bend over. We'll take care of that.
ReplyDeleteYes I am aware and I was not describing what he was redescribing it as
ReplyDeleteI have 5 dogs. There is plenty of dog cuddling in my home.
ReplyDeleteMoved to a thread where people are actually at: I agree with whoever said last night that this thing with Ryback is just a program to keep Russev hot to him getting his final comeuppance at Mania. At this point, now that Bryan's back, I'm wondering if they might be sizing up Reigns/Cena as the match to have, and if so I have no idea who they'll put Russev with. Maybe Orton? Ziggler?
ReplyDeleteAs happy as I am Bryan's back, I have 2 bad feelings. 1) That Vince keeps thinking "Bryan's too small for Brock, no one will believe it!", and 2) the Andre battle royale will be returning this year, featuring many guys who should NOT be in there.
I'm into some different stuff. animals ain't on the list.
ReplyDeleteHellfire I'm tired.
ReplyDeleteWE'RE TELLING STORIES.
ReplyDeleteDAMN IT.
He's been in the DANGER ZONE
ReplyDeleteDo you mean sexual relations with the lights...ON?!?
ReplyDeleteThe Authority coming back at all, let alone after only ONE MONTH, is typical terrible WWE booking in every way. Destroying a hyped stipulation, building around a heel GM, and overexposing HHH and Stephanie--- some of the worst tropes of WWE.
ReplyDeleteThat said....
The actual closing segment was pretty awesome, IMHO, and made Rollins come off as the most evil, hate able heel they've had in fucking forever.
Secondly, at this point I think the only way to "end" the Authority storyline is to turn them face. Displacing them makes no sense because they OWN THE FUCKING COMPANY. They're in charge, and fans won't buy anything else. (Oh, Mick Foley is GM? Uhm, ok.) They need to beat HHH so bad that he realizes his wrongs and turns face and runs WWE as a neutral Tunney-esque GM. If they're smart, that happens after HHH's Mania 3 match.
But they're WWE, so most likely he stays heel GM for the rest of our lives.
Well, savage was pretty insane, I don't imagine he was a guy you would want to work with if you didn't need to. I know being insane isn't a rare trait among wrestlers, but paranoid-jealous insane must be hard to deal with
ReplyDeleteIt could just be a summation of his feelings. That, or he took the Ryback insults personally.
ReplyDeleteFrom time to time.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the Neverending Story, AMIRIGHT?!
ReplyDeleteWhy do our conversations always end up having something to do with sodomy?
ReplyDelete\saystheguymakingjokesaboutdogblowjobs
I don't know if that's the case. The way the planned out matches may have made things easier. Or harder, depending on who you are. George Steele talked some about it; said he understood where Savage was coming from, but it wasn't the way he came up.
ReplyDeleteYou know what would be a fun match? Rusev vs. Dolph, title for title. Rusev is this crushing monster, and Dolph is the plucky underdog babyface that people could get behind. You really could go either way with that match.
ReplyDeleteThey probably don't have anything better for Dolph at this point, right?
Rollins was awesome (I'm gonna kill him anyway!) but now HHH and Stephanie will siphon off his heat for themselves while he smirks in the background holding his briefcase.
ReplyDeleteSteph's vagina is East of the Pacific Ocean, West of London England, South of Mar and Noth of Hell?
ReplyDeleteDo you ever sleep/work?
ReplyDeleteIf you want a HHH match at Wrestlemania, you'll need some time to build something up. Hard to do if he stays off TV a lot longer
ReplyDeleteAlthough, that's what they seem to be doing with Sting
Sometimes even a 2.5 day week can see like a long time.
ReplyDeleteYea...Vince must really have a problem dealing with insane people....running a pro wrestling company.
ReplyDeleteLast night was the ultimate example of a cosmic cockblock. The WWE dressed up in its sexiest lingerie and was preparing to do a personal strip tease in the form of Bryan's promo... then promptly threw clothes back on, dropped a cinder block on the fans' collective junk and called them morons. Or something, I'm not good with analogies.
ReplyDeleteThe Authority storyline is morbidly depressing as a fan, is what I'm going for here.
Same to you, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI went from thoroughly enjoying RAW last night with the matches and the Bryan return announcement to not even caring to watch the show again in the near future because of the ending. It's amazing how big Triple H's ego is.
ReplyDeleteI guess if I had meatier thighs, I'd understand.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that whole deal was sort of the physical embodiment of the Vince/HHH struggle that goes on show by show now.
ReplyDeleteThey could do worse for Rollins than turning Hunter face after some kind of Rollins betrayal. Maybe Rollins blames Hunter for a failed cash-in or Rollins doesn't feel appreciated for all he did for the Authority.
ReplyDeleteBut Stephanie has got to be off TV for this to happen. Crowds will cheer Hunter. They couldn't be paid to cheer for Steph. Likewise she can't be on Rollins' side either because it would inevitably be about her and Hunter and siphon Rollins' heat.
Rollins feels unappreciated by Hunter, curb stomps Steph and then boom Hunter wants revenge. Amend that last part because with the wave of uproar against Domestic Violence they probably can't have Rollins curb stomp Steph. But the heart of it remains the same.
Well HHH coming back to wrestle a match isn't the same as HHH & Stephanie coming back as heel authority figures. The latter is the major booking problem that long term makes it impossible for this product to be any good.
ReplyDeleteWell, I was thinking more along the lines of a paddlin', but I'm sure I can find something to stuff inside you.
ReplyDeleteHas there ever been a comedy spot during a match where a dude (or diva) tapped out due to tickling?
ReplyDeleteSo it would seem.
ReplyDeleteand a complete lack of continuity.
ReplyDeleteMy guess at what they're going to do -nBrock beats Cena to an inch of his life, but the overcomes the odds to get the win, Seth cashes in on a near dead cena, wins the title then loses it to Reigns at mania
ReplyDeleteOh, dear lord. There will be now.
ReplyDeleteI have found myself not sleeping a whole lot lately. Dont work but I'm in college.
ReplyDeleteDon't even know. There's just a distinction between money-drawing, entertaining heel factions and the kind of overbearing, domineering heel factions that frustrate you and make you want to turn off the product. One can guess where the Authority storyline falls, even if Shitbag Seth is King Douche of Douche Mountain now.
ReplyDeleteTwo points.
ReplyDeleteThe bunny should do it. I would laugh.
ReplyDeleteThat seems like an Adam Rose finishing move that should happen.
ReplyDeleteEast of Eden, West of her Chest, North of Stephanie's panties and south of the Promised Land, ooooh yeah!
ReplyDeleteOh god, have I developed the reputation of the Blog Vampire who never sleeps?!
ReplyDelete360! Another 180!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Vince had that covered
ReplyDeleteI dunno, I think it was a great storyline and if they just need to go with the authority figure trope, I'd rather them do it with the best heel characters in the company than a revolving door of random idiots. You knew they were coming back, and they did it in a way that made Cena human and vulnerable. I don't remember who I read saying this, but it was really well put: it was a problem Cena couldn't F-U his way out of.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a really good Raw overall, one of the best in weeks, if not months.
And to us all: http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_large_lightbox/public/photo/image/2014/12/36_NXT_04302014JR_POOL_1044b-1437429517.jpg
ReplyDeleteRusev causes Bryan to lose in the rumble, Bryan beats rusev at mania. Simple booking.
ReplyDeleteTurn it in.
ReplyDeleteYou know what.
"Emma landed hard on the apron after getting tossed out of the ring by Brie Bella and appeared to have injured her back. Trainers checked on her for about five minutes after the match. It turns out she wasn't actually hurt, and pick-pocketed the trainers instead. She was able to get away with $42, a bottle of zomas, and an ice pack. She was fired for taking the ice pack."
ReplyDeleteMy homework? It's not done yet!
ReplyDeleteI just find it tiresome that there's a constant referendum on whether CM Punk is a good person or not. I mean, of all the scumbags who have done some of the scummiest stuff imaginable in this particular industry....I just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess I do get it. Punk is the one who blurred the lines intentionally, to great effect. We're still marking for him nearly a year after he left. But I still find it tiresome.
HHH & Stephanie as heel managers leading a top heel faction? Fine. Personally I'd rather never see them on TV again but obviously that's not gonna happen. So ok, if they need to lead a heel stable I can see some positives.
ReplyDeleteBut having them as the authority figures who make all the decisions and control the match making of the baby faces they're feuding with? Absolute worst trope in pro wrestling and one of the biggest reasons why WWE has become so incredibly hard to watch.
The first problem is, the Authority figure trope is crustier than Betty White's taint. The fact that the Authority is 'the best' we could hope for is endemic of the problem as a whole: we as fans deserve better. But to take umbrage with the Authority for a moment, their motivations are helter-skelter. They're up and down, nothing makes a lot of sense, and short of Survivor Series they always look strong. Vince McMahon is a far more aesthetically pleasing heel villain to play off; Triple H and Stephanie just aren't that fun in the role. But you're entitled to your opinion, of course.
ReplyDeleteYou could have said all this and your point would have been just as effective without causing me to vomit with the Betty White line. Damn you sir. Damn you.
ReplyDeleteYou're an asshole. Betty White is a motherfuckin' treasure!
ReplyDeleteI like Triple H and Stephanie, so I don't know what to tell you on that one.
ReplyDeleteI love Betty White too. But if she's buck-naked and spreading her legs, you have to think you're looking at a salt flat.
ReplyDeleteAs great as Rollins was in that last segment, and as much as D-Bry's return is everything that keeps sucking me back into pro wrestling... HOLY FUCK, the idea of Raw next week starting with a 30-minute smarmy "we're baaaaaaack!" HHH/Steph promo means there's zero chance I watch next wrk's show.
ReplyDeleteThere's heels building heat, and then there's trolling your audience to the point where your show is an unwatchable jerk-off session. HHH & Steph returning is the latter, obviously.
How do you know?! Her genitals might be the most pristine and well-manicured savannah in history!
ReplyDeleteDid she take it from Wal-Mart without paying for it?
ReplyDeleteRue McClanahan, perhaps. There's only so many vaginal care treatments one can find in Saint Olaf, Minnesota. Betty's taint is probably a Dust Bunny.
ReplyDeleteI'm going o
ReplyDeletePshaw, I tell you! Betty don't need no treatments! She's a marvel of vaginal exquisiteness!
ReplyDeleteThe only marvel in Betty White's pants is trying to find the right wrinkle.
ReplyDeleteThat might be a matter of opinion (marking for him during this year).
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'm in the camp that thinks less and less of the guy every time he opens his mouth. I kinda wish he'd just keep his opinions to himself, and I wish he'd have more positive things to say. Even though he has some legitimate beefs, it just feels like everything with him has an air of negativity and defiance, and to me that's a bummer.
Please, please, please go with Brock vs. Bryan at Mania. Please.
ReplyDeleteIt worked out pretty phenomenally a year ago. If they want to just do a sequel of that, I can live with it.
ReplyDeleteProblem with your last: Rollins would be turned face by the fans if he did that.
ReplyDeleteAlso: I did notice a fair number of complaints about the DC audience... maybe they're psychics, and saw this coming from the beginning of the show? (shrug)
Some of you seem to have enjoyed the final segment with Rollins threatening to break Edge's neck. I thought it was stupid, and here are a few reasons.
ReplyDeleteWhat, Edge couldn't just get way before the held him down?
What, he couldn't fight back enough to slide out of the ring?
How is Cena responsible in any way for Rollins' actions, regardless of what Rollins says?
I know it was just a way of bringing back HHH & Steph, but it just felt last minute and forced. It probably was. I suppose I may be picking nits, but it seemed like such a horrible segment, especially when compared with DBry.
You're going to burn in hell, my friend. May the vaginas you frequent in the future be as open-spaced as the Grand Canyon.
ReplyDeleteSo...no title for Bryan. Who do you want to see in the title match?
ReplyDeleteIf it ain't done now, it never will be.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't much care for circle-jerks. I'll probably be washing my hair instead.
ReplyDeleteWhat you're describing is heels being effective heels. Yes, it sucks that the owner's daughter, son-in-law and their associates are the only ones allowed to get over as such (well, not for Rollins, and getting him over as a megastar makes the whole thing worth it if that's the case), but that's wrestling.
ReplyDeleteBryan vs. Brock, Reigns vs. Cena, Hunter vs. Sting, Orton vs. Rollins, Bray vs. Ambrose(you know it's a running joke now and that they'll keep going through Mania) better looking card than what I was reckoning before.
ReplyDeleteNo, it was terrible. Whoever wrote it deserves to drink from your cup.
ReplyDeleteHave you SEEN Big Show's hands? Like, in person? I'm frankly shocked Edge's head didn't pop like Kim Jong Un's in the Interview.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the spoiler, asshole.
ReplyDeleteRight? Big fucking hands!
ReplyDeleteDon't you curse me like that, man! You want to muff dive into Betty White's briar patch, you go right ahead. Just make sure to properly ventilate.
ReplyDeleteNo, he's describing 'I don't want to watch this, I'm going to do something else.'
ReplyDeleteThat's not effective heeling, that's X-Pac heat.
Wyatt isn't three dimensional as much as he's just from another dimension.
ReplyDeleteI really don't ever want to see HHH pedigree Rollins for the win. :(
ReplyDeleteSo Bray vs. Taker is not happening then?
ReplyDeletelets hope not
ReplyDeleteToday is the first day since December 22nd I don't feel like impending death. I'm very happy about this!
ReplyDeleteLet's be honest: All this Bryan return will amount to is a Bryan vs. Sheamus match at Mania.
ReplyDeleteTickle Tap Out > Phantasmo's Atomic Wedgie
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is going on around here?
ReplyDeleteEffective heeling is what you're going to see New Year's Day when Florida State shows Mariota that 10 Heisman's ain't worth ONE National Championship let alone TWO!
ReplyDeleteIn my fantasy world? Hell no. I wouldn't be opposed to Bray/Ziggler in my fantasy though.
ReplyDeleteBetty White's dusty, cracked, rotten fruit-smelling nether regions.
ReplyDeleteYou wanna get some heat on Rollins? Have Bryan conquer Brock at Mania only for Rollins to Curb Stomp him post-match and cash-in to win the title.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant
ReplyDeleteJameis Winston's unflappable clutch 4th quarter play and unbeaten FSU record.
ReplyDeleteAgree about the HHH/Steph return but I didn't like Rollins in that segment at all. But it's not his fault. He's booked like too much of a pussy begging for the Authority to come back. He has the security guys behind him. How many people do you need fighting your battles for you? Some might say it's a bit comparable to Rock having the corporation behind him or Hogan with the nWo, but they didn't look like total pussies that can't do ANYTHING on their own. I dunno. The whole "chosen one with the authority figures backing them" thing is played out and, in my opinion, makes Rollins look very, very weak.
ReplyDeleteSweet. You should form a Brood or something.
ReplyDeleteDon't get in a car!
ReplyDeleteOf course, we'll instead get Reigns beating Lesnar and Bryan will be tagging with Carlton Banks to face Sheamus and Doogie Houser.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like every year since 2011 Sheamus and Bryan have been rumored to wrestle at Mania. I hope it's rumored this year just to keep up the streak.
ReplyDeleteWith a HUGE assist to the Tallahassee Police Department.
ReplyDeleteThe Criminole-in-Chief, crying at the podium after a blowout loss, then attacked by Betty's Killer Tomato.
ReplyDeleteOnly happened twice in that span (counting 27 where it got cut)!
ReplyDeleteI said it in another post, but why not Ziggler vs. Rusev, to unify the US and Intercontinental Championships?
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting in a car right now! You don't think something might
ReplyDeleteIf plans goes as expected Reigns is going to get the Batista treatment at the Rumble right? Anyone not named Bryan will be shit out of the building
ReplyDeleteBut then the two guys I recruit to join me would become more successful than me and I'd be stuck banging Luna Vachon.
ReplyDeleteIs it worth it?
It's X-Pac heat. I don't want to see them get beat. I just want them to go away.
ReplyDeleteIt's not effective heeling if the fans, and I'm using myself as an example, don't want to even see said heels on the TV shows.
ReplyDeleteHHH and Stephanie are out there as the focus of the show because THEY WANT TO BE, not because their segments are effective and the fans are enjoying what they're involved in.
Naw, it's kinda his fault. His delivery was scattered and stilted. To be honest, he was kinda all over the place.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing they haven't done is pulled their guns on an opponent running towards the end zone, arresting him right there on the field. If they were playing Oregon at home, I could see that happening somewhere around 35-7... mid 2nd quarter?
ReplyDeleteWell I'll backtrack and edit it to either it happens or is rumored to happen. Happened at 27 and 28. Rumored to happen at 30. And Im hoping you don't remember the rumors surrounding 29 enough to dispute my claim that it was rumored to happen.
ReplyDeleteWHAT IF the fans resent someone who hasn't been around for a year just strolling in and winning the Rumble and boo Bryan if HE wins? It's possible it might create some kind of booking paradox that destroys the entire universe.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah I forgot Rusev. That could fly too.
ReplyDeleteToo much negativity in here today and I'm already in a foul mood.
ReplyDeleteAu revoir!
Cena also ended up physically rescuing Edge anyway, why didn't he just do that in the first place?
ReplyDeleteThat's true. I personally think he totally sucks but am trying to give him the benefit of the doubt here cause I don't think anybody could pull off a segment as dumb as that one was.
ReplyDeleteWrestlemania 30 and the few weeks of Raw before that were pretty great. The 5 or so months of Authority-centric TV after Summerslam 2013 was some of the worst, most backfiring product that WWE has ever produced.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't cll that "working out phenomenally", especially when the still Authority-centric period after May 2014 has been the absolute worst WWE-TV since 1995.
When I first read that, I thought you typed "Unfappable."
ReplyDeleteI would run Rusev/Ziggler. Ziggler is perfect in the underdog babyface role and people would buy him taking copious amounts of punishment and still winning. Plus he's the first to defeat Rusev in a way via countout so the history is there.
ReplyDeleteWILL YOU STOP?!
ReplyDeleteI'd bet that's actually the most likely scenario right now.
ReplyDeleteTotally. Can I be one of those dudes?
ReplyDeleteMan, Rollins was doing some damned fine heeling it up last night, so of course here's Triple H and Stephanie right on queue.
ReplyDeleteSpoiler Alert: Cesaro will not repeat
ReplyDeleteRusev has dominated Ziggler numerous times and a count out victory in a team match really doesn't count.
ReplyDeleteIt's Philadelphia, they'll follow the plan.
ReplyDeleteI thought it's seemed pretty positive here thus far. Relatively speaking.
ReplyDeleteCM PUNK! CM PUNK! CM PUNK!
ReplyDeleteOK, so have we talked the Ascension? What the fuck was that??? Yikes. These guys should be trading wins with Los Matadores on Main Event before Mania time.
ReplyDelete"You don't know what you really want, so we'll give it to you anyways."
ReplyDelete— WWE
They got like... no reaction at all.
ReplyDeleteCM PUNK!! CM PUNK!! CM PUNK!!
ReplyDeleteThis anti-Ascension stuff is kind of frustrating. They've had one match on the main roster. Can we give them a few weeks before we write them off?
ReplyDeleteLooked like a Memphis team from 1989.
ReplyDeleteIf they weren't talked up in NXT for years, they just screamed indie jobber gimmick from look to working
ReplyDeleteIt would've been more effective if the pacing was better. Cena took FOREVER to come out, too. That didn't help things.
ReplyDeleteI have included the links to the PTBN Greatest Song of the 90's tournament above
ReplyDeleteThat was....those guys were totally underwhelming.
ReplyDeleteX-Pac heat isn't a real thing.
ReplyDeleteSee above.
ReplyDeleteAs they deserved. Those dudes absolutely suck. Road Warriors gimmick and they both look like the doughiest jobby jobbers that have ever jobbed? Terrible. Just turn them into a fucking comedy gimmick and get it over with.
ReplyDeleteA lot of stuff about dog fucking, which I consider neutral rather than positive or negative.
ReplyDeleteBye! No one cares!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you put Bryan on the card? Brock Lesnar?
ReplyDeleteCan it be defined? YES.
ReplyDeleteCan examples be given? YES.
It's real, Mike. Unlike Santa.
You're not just right. You're HIV Positive.
ReplyDeleteToo bad that went off the air. When do we get the chance to see Orton, Cena and the Big Show all in a prominent position on a show?
ReplyDeleteFirst impressions and all that.
ReplyDeleteIf they insist on Reigns, would Bryan getting stretchered out of the Rumble after someone "pillmanizes" his arm with Reigns making the save and throwing out whoever did it be enough or would their best bet at that point just to be Reigns taking out Bryan and heel turn?
ReplyDeleteYeah but they look like shit especially for the gimmick they're doing, and they've sucked in NXT (despite the push) for years now. It's not like it's the first Ascension match anyone's ever seen.
ReplyDeleteIt's disturbing but they seemed pretty positive in their discussion on it.
ReplyDeleteI know. It's one of those deals where there's room for improvement, and the tag division lacks the mauling tag team right now. I'd rather give them a shot to evolve and tweak the gimmick and see if they can make it work.
ReplyDeleteLike a fucked up Haley's comet, every 76 commercial breaks
ReplyDeleteAt this point, they should just make NXT a full blown alternative and move people back and forth when they need refreshing. At this point, I'd pay money to see a NXT show before a WWE show and I'd rather see a NXT PPV before a WWE PPV.
ReplyDeleteHeels who make fans change the channel or stop watching the show is absolutely a real thing. See HHH's run in the early 2000s.
ReplyDeleteIt's better than Cena vs. Rusev. Put both titles on the line and give it a high-stakes feel. WrestleMania fans will go crazy for Dolph, and they won't remember those previous finishes.
ReplyDeleteJust watched the match...what a terrible idea..have them debut against a team that already wrestled a long match..Nothing that bad about the squash it self but the whole getup has that 10-15% chance of getting over.
ReplyDeleteThis is kind of the problem with NXT. it's fun but they come up with these indie gimmicks that are either unlikely to get over or have to repackage the guy into something other than the character he has been building the past couple years
A power team, where one guy looks 5'11", 225 kind of defeats the purpose from the get-go. But I do see your point.
ReplyDeleteIf they had better faces, I'd still like to see a face get "demoted", snap because of it and get a heel stable together to force his way back up, reigning havoc everywhere
ReplyDeleteYeah, because frankly...sometimes you feel like it, and sometimes you don't.....knowwhatImean?
ReplyDeleteHow many bottles of water does Rollins go through per show on his hair?
ReplyDeleteThe vampire/goth gimmick at least fit what these dudes look like. New Age ROAD WARRIORS is laughable considering the "big guy" is just fat and the small guy gets physically dwarfed by Damien Sandow.
ReplyDeleteIf you're gonna do that gimmick, then pair up Ryback and Titus in face paint or something. These two dudes just don't look imposing in the slightest.
Ironically, the team they most closely resemble (Demolition) weren't as big as they appeared to be. The height of Ax and Smash is actually pretty comparable to the Ascension guys (6'3" and 6'2" to 6'4" and 6'2").
ReplyDeleteThere's probably a gigantic surplus of water backstage now that HHH doesn't sports-entertainz full-time.
ReplyDeleteI'd be okay with them working together
ReplyDeleteYup. Demos were flabby for their run. They were bigger, but they weren't that muscular.
ReplyDeleteI don't see why not!
ReplyDeleteHe better not be melting ice packs
ReplyDelete
