There will be justice in the world when I hear the words, "And NEEEWW WWE World Heavyweight Champion, KEVIN OWENS!"
ReplyDeleteAlthough they probably wouldn't let him do his own thing, so it will end up being a bland version of himself, where he's the Authority's champion or some shit, so forget what I just said.
Avengers was really strong. Thumbs up for anyone going this weekend
ReplyDeleteI bet Jillian sings better drunk.
ReplyDeleteReigns being superstar of the year was probably legit.
ReplyDeleteThe hate only started after the return from injury right at the same time as Bryan's return.
There were concerns but little outright dislike.
I don't think bringing Riley to the main roster would necessarily be a bad thing if he was used as a Slater-esque jobber, rather than having title-holders pinned in non-title matches on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteRoderick Strong = 31
ReplyDeleteTeam 3-D = 43 and 42
Chris Masters = 31
Shelton Benjamin. = 39
I understand the name value need, but Jeff may want to also think about trying some new talent.
If Masters is only 31 that's a really good pickup. He was really good when WWE cut him the second time.
ReplyDeleteNo way the reigns thing was legit.
ReplyDeleteThat writer had left the company by the time that happened though. I just have a hard time believing Reigns won superstar of the year when he was out injured for most of it, and also when Daniel Bryan was a candidate as well. Who knows though...
ReplyDeleteWasn't he only injured a couple weeks before? There was a lot of residual Shield love at that point. Marks only turned on him at the Rumble.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure he cut a comeback promo at Survivor Series and was missing most of the year before that, I also think he was getting booed before his injury too... could be wrong though, memory is a little hazy
ReplyDeleteI think he went out the week of NoC against Rollins. I remember a HUGE pop when Rollins was giving a promo and Reigns music hit.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little foggy too. There were rumblings of dislike here, and he wasn't getting Austin pops from the live crowd. But he was still pretty over than.
One has to remember that 2014 was a very shitty year.
ReplyDeleteThis too. Shield/Evolution was one of he few highlights.
ReplyDelete0.20 is pretty tanked.
ReplyDeleteI know she sounds better when I am.
ReplyDeleteI'm willing to believe that Reigns winning was legit. The type of fan that would actually go to the app and vote is the type of fan that would actually vote for Roman Reigns.
ReplyDeleteI, for one, have never doubted the voting outcomes of the WWE app.
ReplyDeleteAye, there's no point me saying that *I* wouldn't have voted for him because I didn't vote for anybody.
ReplyDeleteHeard there was nothing after the credits?
ReplyDelete*Vince grabs hold of Titus O'Neil.*
ReplyDelete"YOU AREN'T TAKING SHELTON AWAY FROM ME, DAMMIT!!"
*nods*
ReplyDeleteMe either. That's why I typed that. I only use the app to access WWE Network on my tablet.
ReplyDeleteI actually believe that Vince thinks Shelton Benjamin still works for him.
ReplyDeleteI really love this show so goddamn much. It really is everything I'd want out of wrestling--- good workers with really distinct characters, fun gimmicks like Enzo & Cass, feuds/stories that get built from week to week and are treated logically, titles that feel important, and stars WINNING MATCHES. Imagine that, NXT pushes guys by having them win matches and not look like goons. Fucking great.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like all the alcohol went right to her face.
ReplyDeleteDoes Jarrett have a TV deal? A tour booked? If not, then it's no better than an indy show.
ReplyDeleteEnzo & Cass winning the tag titles is gonna be lots of fun. That's a tag team that could legitimately main event shows and draw money down the line if handled well.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying that they all aren't good pickups. I'm just saying, he may want to make sure he's creating some new talent if he's going to do this legit.
ReplyDeleteWait, Team 3D hasn't been picked up by WWE yet?
ReplyDeleteSeriously? At the very least they'd be a good team to help build up future tag teams.
Strong and Masters are still young. Team 3D still has some gas in the tank.
ReplyDeleteYep. She might slur so much that she actually becomes in tune.
ReplyDeleteLiving on the west coast, I have no chance to vote on the app since raw is already done by the time I watch it. NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.
ReplyDeleteRoderick Strong, midcard 4444 life.
ReplyDeleteHow far off are we from Vince starting his investor calls with "I'm VIncent K McMahon, millionaire. I own a mansion and a yacht."?
ReplyDeleteVince doesn't like tag teams.
ReplyDeleteI already think he does that shit.
ReplyDeleteHas talked to ROH's the kingdom as well
ReplyDeleteThe quintessential vanilla midget.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what Jarrett's plans are, what he has in place, or whether or not this is an actual legit business. I didn't watch the last show Jarrett was in charge of, so I'm obviously not his main audience anyway.
ReplyDeleteI would buy a handful of share to just hear that.
ReplyDeleteTake Cole, keep the rest in ROH.
ReplyDeleteThose poor dogs...
ReplyDeleteMasters is younger than Cesaro. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteAll workrate, no charisma.
ReplyDeleteThen hire Brother Ray and push him. Dude is a great heel.
ReplyDeleteSo many back breakers.
ReplyDeleteYeah I don't think taven and Bennett go anywhere. They just hit their stride
ReplyDeleteDon't you know who I AM, I'M Vincent KENNNEDY MCMAHON! Shelton, bring me the numbers tonight!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was great that Victoria was lifting a few of his moves.
ReplyDeleteI still prefer his Tiger Driver.
ReplyDeleteIf Strong had just a little more charisma he would be a world champion level guy.
ReplyDeleteDo you vote on the app, jobber? Because I don't. I'm willing to bet most here don't. We're the type of people who wouldn't vote for Reigns. The type of folks who would use the app are the type that love Roman Reigns. Kids and chicks. Seems legit to me.
ReplyDeleteBully Ray was great in TNA, no way Vince is keeping the character in WWE.
ReplyDeleteYou and I, we think the same.
ReplyDeleteCole just screams 97' heel HBK, and that's perfect. He just needs his Taker to chase him around, doesn't have to be a supernatural character.
ReplyDeleteI voted for Reigns.
ReplyDeleteI see that.
ReplyDeleteThat's not to say that I think Roman Reigns should even be considered for "superstar of the year" (whatever that means). But I have never, and will never vote for anything on WWE.com, unless it's "Should we stop calling pro wrestling 'sports entertainment' and our wrestlers 'superstars'?" Then I might vote.
I'm sure you did, cupcake.
ReplyDeleteZanatude.
ReplyDeleteI should've figured that out.
ReplyDeletethere is, but just one. There's the usual clip after the arty credits, but unlike the last couple of films there's no second clip after the end of the main credits.
ReplyDeleteYes, you should have.
ReplyDeleteMid-credits
ReplyDeleteExactly this. I don't want to see him called up and get sucked into that bullshit...it's refreshing to see a heel champion stand on his own without layers of heel authority members behind him or 6 different people making matches from show to show. It'll probably happen soon enough, but I'll enjoy his NXT work while I can.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Carmella is gonna screw them out of their rightful tag titles, sorry.
ReplyDeleteKevin Owens is amazing. He single handedly brought ROH back from the dead during Cornette's time in power. His feud with Sami Zayn is the stuff of legend. Their ultimate blow off match - the ladder match at Final Battle 2012 - was *insane*. They can really make a lot of money with those two....
ReplyDeleteI'm willing to re-open my stance on not giving a fuck about Baron Corbin if they continue to give him a character.
ReplyDeleteDon't be salty, you goddamn weirdo.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah I could see that happening too. Which is fine, would make it that much more satisfying when they win the titles on the special after that.
ReplyDeleteBecause, ya know, NXT actually gives you logical progressions and pay-offs. Unlike Raw/Smackdown which is totally SAWFT.
Wasn't a bad promo really.
ReplyDeleteLove the Enzo/Cass Outlaws-style intro I think it needs to be cut for length by about 30% though
ReplyDeleteIt says a lot about the state of the company when I'd rather Kevin Owens stay in NXT, because I have absolutely no doubt that Creative wouldn't know what to do with him.
ReplyDeleteI reay wish wwe would stop flooding my youtube with these. I actually thought about unsubscribing but I would like to able to see at least 5 minutes of Raw so I know what the hell im talking about when I post.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how much more you care about a match when it's built up for a while and everyone isn't wrestling twice a week with 50/50 booking.
ReplyDeleteI'll be glad when the Riley-being-featured experiment is over.
ReplyDeleteLove this show.
Owens is never getting called up. Ever.
ReplyDeleteCrowds wouldn't buy him on the roster as anything other than a hardcore match guy a la Raven or foley. He just doesn't look the part for anything else.
ReplyDeleteWasn't he the one they used to send out with Miz when he had the briefcase?
ReplyDeleteI just hope it never culminates in either a) Alex Riley, NXT champion or b) Riley getting a win over Owens.
ReplyDeleteTill he powerbombs a fucker on the apron.
ReplyDeleteHe has the talent to be a killer (and it's not like he's above being a hardcore guy to get that over) it's just a manor of him being put in a position to succeed
I'm sure you believe everything you type.
ReplyDeleteBaron Corbin is a dud.
ReplyDeleteOwens will suffer from Ascension Syndrome if he gets to the main roster.
ReplyDeleteThe "rage" part is at least trying something new... but it's not working. I liked it when he was just the announcer being goaded into a match.
ReplyDeleteI want to see him get called up so he can make some real money I can't imagine he joined this company to do the same thing on virtually the same scale as before. I also don't think he's going to look that great when he gets to the wwe. Throwing Zayn around is one thing what's he going to do with guys like Orton or Reigns.
ReplyDeleteMan, she was a screamer, too, that one...
ReplyDeleteRiley's decent on the mic, has a good look. If he wins, it doesn't make the person who lost to him look stupid...but if he loses, it at least gives the visual that it was competitive.
ReplyDeleteYou can always use another good hand.
If by Ascension Syndrome you mean guys who were portrayed as monsters in NXT but just weren't that big in comparison with the rest of the roster when they got called up then I agree with you a 100 percent.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget, he has pretty decent entrance music. It might be the best thing about him.
ReplyDeleteI'm tired of cringing at them on the broadcasts. I suppose I have a low embarassment threshold, though.
ReplyDeleteReally what year ? What gsme?
ReplyDeleteDitto. Can't stand the dude.
ReplyDeleteHe comes off extremely phony.
ReplyDeleteYes, he's very much like a very calm, cool guy acting like he's raging out.
ReplyDeleteHe should just be a very calm, cool guy.
It could also mean "Vince and Dunn take an NXT gimmick that worked and manage to fuck it up"
ReplyDeleteThis. And not just for KO, but for the Big 4 women as well.
ReplyDeleteHe is the fiance of Rebecca Lynn.
ReplyDeleteWould Owens even be allowed to use the apron powerbomb? It might be deemed too dangerous.
ReplyDeleteI vaguely remember it around the Russo era. He transitioned into Coach Buzz Stern pretty soon afterward.
ReplyDeleteWho are the posters then, just Scott and Bayless?
ReplyDeleteThat shit was awesome. That and movies for guys who like movies, calibers fav show.
ReplyDeleteIm envious. Your threshhold must be god like. Those videos are brutal.
ReplyDeleteDanielle? I'm sure she was before Stockholm syndrome sunk in.
ReplyDeleteI was just having a beer at a local bar with some Giants fans.
ReplyDeleteSomething, something, Danielle...that about covers it, right?
Anyhow, I gotta get back to the beer and watching some games. Keep coming to my article and posting, though. Always game for some meaningless drivel written by you.
Now Marty, you know that's not true. There is no coming to your article, much as there was no bar. I go to disqus after my initial reply, you aren't worth the hits.
ReplyDeleteYou keep coming to my article! Thanks for the hits. My friends all think you're the most pathetic troll they've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteWhen they're all in the same head only one voice matters.
ReplyDeleteCool, bro. Anything else?
ReplyDeletePlenty.
ReplyDeleteI don't click links from guys who post on message boards "at the bar". Too dangerous for me.
ReplyDeletehttp://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp3tw87j0o1qadflco1_500.jpg
ReplyDeleteNot clicking that one either, sorry sport.
ReplyDeletehttp://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp3tw87j0o1qadflco1_500.jpg
ReplyDeleteYou really aren't good at this. Perhaps if you could embed the image somehow I could understand what you're saying.
ReplyDeleteNah. No point. You'll just have to learn how to click on stuff. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBecause you can't. No worries I understand man.
ReplyDeleteNo, seriously. I don't honestly care. There's no point. You've been coming here for a full week and just shooting your mouth off which, needless to say, is really, really sad. I mean, I've seen trolls hang on...but, dude, you make Fake Dougie look like a Stanford graduate.
ReplyDeleteGood. Now go and repeat it to a mirror. Whatever it takes to get you to stop projecting and get on with your amazing life full of fascinating things!
ReplyDeleteI wrote this article. I have a reason to be here. You don't. YOU are coming to ME. You're just showing up and arbitrarily saying, "You suck". The only one projecting is you. And to what end? What did you hope to accomplish?
ReplyDeleteI'm still writing the recap tonight and for the foreseeable future.
Guess you lost. Now go...do whatever it is the hell you do.
You're looking at it. I'm going to my disqus dashboard bro. Whenever you respond it shows up in my feed. I'm sure you know that though.
ReplyDeleteObviously. That's all you ever do...and, looking at your Disqus dashboard, the amount of shit you start and the amount of times everyone hands you your ass is astounding. cultstatus and Phrederic handing you your lunch amused me.
ReplyDeleteYou also had one bit in there where you told a user to "not respond to you if they didn't like what you had to say".
I would suggest you follow your own advice.
Hey you're the one who started by responding to me. Now you're stalking my disqus. You're kinda creepy. Makes sense though. With all I know about you I wouldn't expect less
ReplyDeleteYou came to me, genius. This is my article.
ReplyDeleteAnd you pointed me to your dashboard. It ain't "stalking" when it's public knowledge, fuckmook.
And you called me a stalker before declaring that you "know all about me".
Boy...you are a special stupid.
Wait, so you never knew anything about disqus prior to this? Seriously? I really give you too much credit bro.
ReplyDeleteBtw Mr. Writer, when you quote something pls quote it correct. I said "with all I know about you," don't get it twisted. This is what I know, you have thin skin, double chins, enjoy complaining, brag about posting on three blogs, post on Internet message boards at bars, vehemently and constantly bitch about wwe, etc. all things that can be gleaned from reading your report or posts.
Nope. You just reminded me that I can see how much you piss people off...and that's a LOT of people. I mean, a LOT. They don't like you here. Or elsewhere for that matter. Man...you getting clocked by just about everyone on Scott's board? That's priceless stuff. I enjoy looking at just how many people dislike you here. Seriously. You've accomplished nothing. I'd rather be "double-chinned",
ReplyDeletewith friends and with a loving Danielle at my side than be you.
You lash out at people when they bash anything WWE-related because your mouth is stuck to Vince's cock 24-7. You can't take ANY criticism toward WWE, period. Then, when anyone fights with you, you tell them they have "thin skin" while spewing vitriol and echoing other people because you can't have your own opinion. You need others to form it for you. Then you stick around and troll for a full week? Really? You being here is pointless.
Tl:dr can you recap this for me sport
ReplyDeleteRecap what? That my goddaughter can read whole books and you can't read two paragraphs?
ReplyDeleteOr the fact that nobody fucking likes you?
There's an assessment worthy of five stars.
It's probably for the best you can't reproduce.
ReplyDeleteAwww...did I hit a nerve, wittle boy??? Huh???
ReplyDeleteYou're so pathetic. You can dish it but you can't take it.
Not at all. Just saying, the type of hate you seem to revel in is kinda dark n scary dude. You spend a little more time working on yourself instead of telling everyone how much better you are than them and you'll be happier, healthier and less likely to melt down over people criticizing your writing.
ReplyDeleteGo fuck yourself, Edwards. Don't play "high and mighty".
ReplyDeleteI'm done with you.
