Fair enough. To me, it looks less impactful than most of the moves Swerve regularly does. But opinions differ, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I thought the show last night was mostly good. The gauntlet was a joke in a sense because we never were going to get all 21 wrestlers to appear with the time they had remaining. I wonder if Tony actually had 21 people lined up for the match. But aside from that it was good for what we got. I did not expect Osprey to win. I figured with the Forbidden door PPV coming up, someone from NJ or CMLL might win. The Jericho thing was so intentionally bad. He knows what he's doing and it's working well to piss everyone off. I can't believe they spent money on a prop tree from a kindergarten play. I like Bryan Keith so anything to get him tv time I guess is good. Joe and Hook working together should be good though. Overall like I said a mostly good show.

Unfortunate in multiple ways then, I suppose. I'm definitely looking forward to the rematch. What are you doing? We are supposed to be pretending she isn't any good....

Niners Fan in CT Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 4 hours ago, JLowe said: Also not a fan of Mercedes finisher but it did look like a great setup as a counter/reversal to the Code Blue It's a move that requires some assistance from the other worker for sure. I'd rather she just use the STF she broke out against Willow. That looked devastating even on Willow who was a much bigger opponent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not the setup. No I just find some comments funny like someone trying to say Skye was out there carrying Mercedes.... like... let's be real here lol. The nitpicking is mostly about the character work. Do I think all her promo segments have hit? No. But a promo like last night, it was fine. I'd rather her heel it up 100% and I think they've been teasing that but for right now... the Cena reactions are more than fine. 50/50 split is a good thing. It's bad when nobody is reacting and that hasn't happened. Her match with Willow was one of the hottest matches on the PPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's something we don't tend to bring up about Swerve, being caught up in the weird moves and movements, and the swag, is that he can bump and sell really well. He knew that's what he should do to make the Killswitch match anything and he did that. Just remembered that they have that Lucha Underground history (it's Killshot vs. Killswitch haha) too so the only change is probably that the dinosaur is the heel now. He probably shouldn't do the standing moonsault, but then the champion shouldn't have to have someone move into place and actually sit up and wait for his finisher either. Spot on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is these posters criticized a performer on a TV show, while you are making personal insults. There’s a difference. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 2 hours ago, Curt McGirt said: Fair arguments. They might be forgiven for stealing that blueprint since they're starting out fresh after the PPV? But that doesn't change not liking using it of course. Hopefully Bill can make the Jericho segments better than they'll probably end up being, because this "fanx guys you make me so mappy" fake Jericho is already useless. Not deluded enough. I think he's too aware of the gimmick and in on the joke right now, like calling his promo "TV Time" and going "I can never get enough TV time, huh? Right, guys?". That, to me, is someone who's in on the joke and it's not as funny, it's kinda reverse pandering. Now if Jericho just called his promo "Under the Learning Tree" or something and rambled about his accomplishments and knowledge, then said that too many young guys weren't getting TV time, oblivious to the fact that his mugging is what's keeping said young guys off TV, that's funny. Jericho winking at the audience about getting his TV time while Taz says "That's a shoot", not that funny. It's a fine line because once Jericho becomes too funny or entertaining, the gimmick teeters over; but you also don't want it being too over-the-top and turning people off. It can be a really funny, effective gimmick: old-timey vet complaining about young guys while seeing to teach them, but I don't think it's there, yet. He should probably lean into it more with headlocks and the like ("A good front facelock is the end of almost every real fight" is something I believe he talked about in his book re: his fight with Godlberg) during his match, and telling his charges at ringside: "Watch this." but you also run the risk of straight-up ruining matches for the sake of the gimmick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 @Raziel Your post speaks volumes about who you are as a person. I don't know about "frothing at the mouth..." but her tweet was garbage. Something like "when the car is playin boom boom music you turn up that country louder!!!" Just a dumb tweet. The fact that you have an issue with me calling it a dumb tweet and apparently also have an issue with me pointing out the reaction to one of the reasons Mercedes/Naomi walked out... it says a lot.
