I can't remember how well his push was doing. He had those matches with Orton; did they have crowd heat? People here weren't excited about them, generally speaking.
Then, he got hurt. I feel like getting hurt really de-railed him because a) he lost important development time to get over with the crowd/up to speed as a singles in main-event/semi-main matches and b) he came back right when Bryan did, and the crowds heavily favored Bryan. My perception could be wrong, though.

I couldn't even get mad about Sami Zayn losing because it was to the only guy I personally think he had a good argument for losing to.
There was barely any spite voting or trolling either.
Watching NXT and NJPW this year has made me a happier person, I guess.

If you were in charge, why would the fuck you want to cater to DB's fan base? They are innately negative and there's nothing you could to do make them happy.
Here's Ebbie being the least self-aware person posting here, and considering that I also post here, that is saying something.

It's a testament to the runner-up that he made it so far even though he was stuck in a shitbird of a promotion all year.

Also, if you buy Bloodborne off of PSN, you can throw on a $20 PSN store credit for an additional $5.
If you like physical, you can get the same deal online or in-store at Target, by the way. I did it yesterday.

Alright, let's do Bryan/Brock before Bryan kills himself now!
If Reigns wins anyway somehow, I will be so bummed.
Gonna enjoy watching Brock squashing Bryan like a bug like he was supposed to this past summer.
I could live with this. Honestly, while they could have Bryan be a world-beater and win, just being competitive and having a good match is great for whoever is involved.
I would actually think about having Rusev beat Cena and then Brock myself. They have a chance to cement that guy.
-
Just watched Rusev on last night's Raw and dear lord he's incredible.
I know Rikishi trained him, but has he trained anyone else? I just wonder how much of what Rusev does is because he gets it and is a natural and how much is just really good training.
I would imagine his trained his kids too. Fuck you guys, the Usos are the best tag team the WWE has had in like 10 years.
Booker T trained the Uso's
Moral of the story: Booker T is awesome and so is Rikishi.
-
Legit questions: just who in the entire flick-flack takes the belt from Lesnar? When does it happen?
Obviously The Undertaker in his retirement match at WM 32

I guess Rusev needed to get used to losing. All downhill from here.
By next March he'll have the Titus O'Neill role of "He's having really good sub-10 minutes on Superstars guys!"

Puro style is slightly different to me. Most Puro I've seen has it so that, for example, I might not beat you with my head-drop finisher, but I will do enough damage that the regular ol' right hook I land after you kick out of it will put you down for three. It's more like an "accumulated damage" thing than a "tiered finisher" thing; I guess more modern NJPW leans more toward the tiered finisher idea I'm talking about, though, and some finisher spamming that guys like Tanahashi do is really reminiscent of WWE-style use of finishers.
I could be wrong, though, not being nearly as much of a Puro follower than many people here.
-
WWE's insistence on having only finishers and flash pins win matches has led to finisher kickouts to get convincing near falls, so they should just go with my idea (and probably the idea of lots of other people who have thought about this) and basically have tiered finishers.
For example, using Paige:
Paige Turner ---> beats mid-level wrestlers consistently, never beats upper-level wrestlers unless she spams like three of them in a row.
Scorpion Crosslock -----> gets submissions on mid-level wrestlers consistently, gets submissions on upper-level wrestlers only sometimes and may take multiple applications to do so
Rampaige -----> Beats everyone and is kicked out of only rarely when high-level opponent's adrenaline is going due to big show excitement (like at WM).
This way, Paige can get wins with the first two moves fairly regularly so that when someone kicks out, it's more of a surprise.
Signature moves should get more pinfalls and each wrestler should have three of them on top of their one or two finishers.

Obviously no one would ever actually riot. You're not going to see a riot with an arena or stadium show for the WWE.
We know that because we're reasonably intelligent creatures, but trying telling some of these 47-year-old juice box drinkers.
HEY WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH DRINKING A JUICE BOX EVEN IF YOU'RE AN ADULT?!?!
THEY ARE REFRESHING!
ECTO COOLER 4-LYFE!

I think the most interesting thing to come out of this years March Madness is the unabashed hatred that people have for Bad Luck Fale. It's astounding. Can we get Davey vs. Fale for next years March Madness?
Whoa whoa whoa, buddy. I don't dislike Fale that much.

I saw this thread pop back up and was hoping the people running the Network got around to putting up the shows through about 1998.
No dice.

As someone who died about a
hundredthousandhundred thousand times playing Land of the Livid Dead on Rayman Origins just a few days ago in order to beat it, I'll be picking up Bloodborne, getting frustrated, and feeling accomplished and only slightly resentful once I beat it. -
Maybe Roman was inspired by the Barrett vs the playing field match.
We'll know if Reigns is inspired by Barrett if he wins the belt and then immediately gets injured for six months.
-
Is Vince secretly trying to make Roman Reigns look like a doofus? I genuinely feel bad for Reigns at this point. I guess that's one way to get him over as a sympathetic babyface - make him act like a total moron so everyone feels bad for him.
I popped in here because I wanted to see reactions to the go-home show. Honestly, reading the RAW threads on DVDVR are a billion times better than watching RAW, something I haven't done since Bryan got hurt last year.
I am hoping that the crowd turns on WM and makes it completely entertaining. That sounds like a show that I'll watch the week after just to see everyone share their loathing for it.
-
I actually think Rusev could do something with Fale. His selling, especially over time is that good.
EDIT: also, in true march madness fashion, I'm finding the NJPW supporters more annoying with their hard sell than the Rusev supporters, so I'm going for Rusev.
To paraphrase another great Russia-affiliated person, the illusion which exalts Rusev is dearer to Matt D than ten thousand truths about how great Nakamura is.
-
I have to say that even though I voted for Nak, I would be delighted with Rusev winning. Actually, I would have been happy with Zayn or Cavernario winning too (on the latter, I trust the lucha fans here to have good taste in wrestlers of that style and would have been okay if he had won). This has been the best final four ever: Three guys I actively like, one whose work I respect, no shitty-ass CM Punks gumming up the works and being a threat to win, etc.
It's been a pleasure, ladies and gentlemen.

Voting Nakamura. When it comes down to it, I'd rather watch all of Nakamura's last year than Rusev's.

Goldust is a great idea. I was trying to think of guys that are solid in ring, but that could use a trip down to refine their character work ala Tyson Kidd, too. Maybe Erick Rowan could go back down and work Owens for a bit?
I'm a Catahoula Leopard type of man myself.

*Because if all he does it just smoke fools, he won't be a heel for long. Brock has the best heel promo on the planet at his back and he's just barely not a face right now.
Part of that though is that WWE has fucked up Reigns' push so badly. If it were Lesnar/Bryan, Brock would be the most massively over heel in the company.
Oh no, not Reigns/Bryan/Lesnar talk in our sweet little NXT thread. I've stopped watching any current WWE shows except for NXT and only sweep through the RAW/WM threads when bored; I think I got my fill talking about it during DVDVR March Madness.
Instead, let's discuss more mid-level face opponent options for Kevin Owens. Or puppies!

Bought a bunch of PS1 games for my Vita. Good times.

WWE is much more likely to produce good six-man tag matches than they are to produce good booking.
Take what you can get, that's what I say.
