Overly Critical Man Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Crud, I almost forgot to mention how stoked I am with Rusev getting an Ivan Drago gimmick. I wonder who gets the "If he dies...he dies." treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovert Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 So apparently AJ has heat with creative for calling Naomi a baked potato last night according to Meltzer. Huh? Don't remember Meltzer saying this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears the story started on Twitter and was picked up as if it was legitimate, but there was no basis in that claim. We usually don't remark on unfounded rumors, but given the amount of email we've received this morning, we wanted to make it clear that WWE did no such thing.

scraylo187 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The new talent initiative rolls on... I don't get it. They've invested all of this money in NXT, and when Emma, who is crazy over down there, debuts, it's completely clear that the announcers don't even watch the product. It makes the entire investment kind of worthless. The gimmick is that she has no clue she's a terrible dancer and thinks she's great. Not that she does the fucking hokey pokey, Jerry. You continue to be the worst part of wrestling. This wasn't the best way to introduce her...I get that they are trying to hotshot directly to that fantastic mixed tag match, but Emma worked because she was a full of herself heel with no coordination, and it got over with the fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valcourt Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Anyone in creative and working as an agent or creative above NXT (RAW/SMACKDOWN) who is NOT working on the Shield or the Wyatts are clueluess as to how to get anyone over anymore. It's a shame. Also, Xavier Woods gets a ton of praise (Even from Naylor) and i'm sure he is a nice dude, I just don't see it when it comes to the ring...

Fat Spanish Waiter Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I met Emma years ago and she has no discernible personality outside the ring so I'm glad she was able to figure something out that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Aksana dropped that knee on Naomi like it was WCW Saturday Night and she was wrestling Lorenzo. Well, Fit was one of the Diva trainers at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Also, how was Kaitlyn "trying too hard"? I hate this idea that certain women are only supposed to have one type of personality and if they don't fit the stereotype then they must be faking it.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 As someone else said, the main event isn't getting a lot of discussion because what's to discuss? If you give Daniel Bryan 30+ minutes and a competent opponent, it turns out you'll get a good match. Wow, who knew? Meanwhile, yes, he got the clean pin, and then he got beat down afterward. SSDD.

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Miz is in the running for worst gimmick of the year. Again. What the fuck was that? That Emma segment sucked. It doesn't really matter if she gets over anyway since she will just be placed into random Divas matches anyway. Still need to watch D-Bry versus RKO. The new Wyatt format for a promo is great. Luke Harper getting some mic time. Run!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im telling you the Miz thing was Vince and company doing a wink and nod to the 9/11 Truther who ran in during the post game presser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseCannon Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Are they going to go with Randy losing in singles matches to all the other EC competitors, then pulling out a win at the PPV, or will they go with Randy beating everyone except Daniel Bryan so that Bryan looks like his biggest threat?

HumanChessgame Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 It looks like they're going with Ambrose and Reigns developing beef with eachother which will lead to a Shield implosion at either EC or WM. I'm guessing they're going to have the two of them feud with whose side Rollins will take be the storyline there. I'm a big fan of what I've seen from Emma in NXT. The problem with her gimmick is that most of the arena wasn't aware that her goofy dancing and aloof demeanor actually is her schtick and not the case of her being unable to work. It's just difficult to get that fact over on the spot like they tried last night. Give her a couple backstage segments with her being her usual self and it would get over.

Brian Fowler Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 There was an awesome level of viscous "I'm trying to hurt you" from both guys in Bryan/Orton that I loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyJ Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The Miz thing is part of the now yearly Miz complains for a few weeks about his place on the card angle. Ignore it cause it will go nowhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 There was an awesome level of viscous "I'm trying to hurt you" from both guys in Bryan/Orton that I loved. I agree, but I felt like there was more of a tilt towards Bryan on offense, so much so that it made it feel like a squash match at times. I think that's why the match turned out so great. Orton's matches are at their worst when he's on the offensive for more than half the match. When he lets someone else be in the driver's seat, and he soaks up a bunch of damage, that's when he's at his most entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're getting cocky and overconfident, thinking you're beating Randy and then he throws that drop kick out of no where and does the snake thing.

Lawful Metal Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I hated the main event. I hate that, without any build, they put on the "should've been" Wrestlemania main event. In Omaha. It should have felt like a big, important match, but it didn't. And, now Daniel Bryan has a meaningless clean win against a hapless, oars out of the water champ that no one cares about. And it'll end with Bryan getting pinned, likely clean, in the elimination chamber. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
