Well, thank god all the 40 year olds got their heat back. Lord knows how we'll rely on them all as the future of the company.

Jesus. So The Shield shouldn't even get beaten down ever?

 

They should..

 

Just not by the 40 year olds they kicked the shit out of last night that need to just go the fuck away already.  Who seriously wants Evolution hanging around outside of people loving the latest nostaliga trip.  Can we go back further and have Shield vs. nWo next?  I'm sure there's a couple old members who can still go without breaking a hip or tearing a quad.

 

This.  By now, Triple H in WWE is equivalent to the Noble Sheik in Detroit circa 1980. You can hear the crowd deflate when his depressing ass hits the ring. They know he's going over and it just makes them sad. Nobody cares about him or Battista or Orton. You just want them to go away and let the young guys go at it.

BRYAN AND SHIELD ARE BEING BURIED WHAT THE FUCK GUYS

 

I don't see anyone saying Bryan or The Shield are being buried.

 

I see them saying the booking is sucking and isn't likely going to help them do business now or in the future, which isn't some outrageously unfair opinion to have.

You guys have apparently never watched WWE between May and August so let me fill you in. REMATCHES. Now, I know we had high hopes because of the influx in new talent but for whatever the reason the booking team is only good for a few big angles a year...

 

The rest of the time they try to get cute and more often than not we end up with a lot crap that we've seen a hundred times. Last year the in-ring action carried us through the rest of the year and I'm thinking that will probably be the case in 2014... 

 

But jesus...  It's early, man.  We are only a month removed from WrestleMania. Everyone CALM DOWN...  :)

As much as I dug The Shield coming back from the beating they got last week and ending the show looking strong, -that- was the week for Evolution to have gotten the upper hand so that the faces could go into the PPV match hungry for payback and overcome in the end.  Are we going to have to go through another month of HHH sending all the undercard heels out to try and beat down The Shield over and over again?

 

I'm only up to this past January in catching up with NXT so I haven't gotten to Rose's re-branding, but after tonight I really wish they'd kept him as Leo Kruger.  Were any of the people in his entourage recognizable as any indy guys?

 

I think the best part about tonight's show was the lack of Cena.

I missed the Adam Rose debut, and haven't been watching NXT long enough to be familiar with the gimmick. The vignettes made me kinda think he was supposed to be one of those ecstasy/dubstep guys or something.

 

Adam Rose is basically Russell Brand's "Get Him to the Greek" character as a pro wrestler. He got over in his first appearance on his entrance alone. So, of course, they changed it.

 

 

His original theme and dance were MUCH better.  The problem with him is that most of his gimmick is his entrance, so if the crowd just sits there on their hands like they did tonight, he looks like a loser.

Now, I'm not trying to say that I've seen porn stars that could act circles around Brie Bella...but I've seen porn stars that could act circles around Brie Bella. 

She's always been terrible. Even cheering on Nikki outside. COME ON, NIKKI! COME ON, NIKKI! COME ON, NIKKI! SAY SOMETHING ELSE. JUST ONE MORE THING. GOD!

Surely Cole dancing along with him will help.

 

 

 

Is Rose gonna be another Emma in that "It was a good gimmick on NXT, I swear!" ?

 

Well there is nothing as guaranteed to get your dancing person gimmick over than Michael Cole doing the dance while sitting at a table screaming how fun it is with the maniacal grin of a man with electrodes strapped to his testicles.

To be fair to them, they had to change his theme because they didn't have the rights to the song.

 

Now why they even started the gimmick based heavily on the entrance with a song they didn't have the rights to...

BATISTA FASHION WATCH

lazy motherfucker went with T-shirt and trunks edition. 

 

Goddammit, I had like six things cued up for six probable outfits based on backstage buzz from my sources.

At least HHH wore pants enough and tucked in enough to go for

The original theme/entrance was one of the best I've ever seen. His entrance got a "That was awesome" chant. If they would've left it be, he could've been another Sandman where the entrance is so memorable nobody really cares if the match sucks or not. At worst he could've been a PG Godfather where just the entrance gets the crowd excited.

 

But for inexplicable reasons, they changed it bit by bit every week since then. First they change the lighting effects, then they change the song... Tonight they changed the entourage, tweaked the song yet again and it when you add in JBL and Cole actively sabotaging everything because they're useless...

 

I really didn't care much about Emma bombing but their screwing up Adam Rose tonight has really bummed me out.

This "OH MY GOD THE SKY IS FALLING" take on the show is unbelievable. The Shield and Bryan are crazy over. Bryan won the title at WM by defeating all of Evolution. The Shield just beat the shit out of Evolution LAST NIGHT.. 

 

So Bryan is stuck in a shitty feud with Kane. So what. He got a decent match out of him last night and like it or not everyone gets stuck in shitty feuds with Kane. This is not exclusive to Daniel Bryan. John Cena was just feuding with Kane not long ago... Brie's shitty acting MEET Eve Torres shitty acting... 

 

It's the same thing. They closed out a PPV with a fucking ambulance match. But I guess you forgot?

Bryan explained in his press conference last night how everyone in a small town knows how to drive a forklift. I'd imagine that same skill-set translates to hybrid car engine maintenance.

 

I come from a tiny town.  And once when I was in high school, my car stopped because of a wire disconnected from the battery.  So this angle just got real for me.

And then the HR director from your dad's investment firm in a halloween costume attacked you and your model girlfriend.

We've all been there, man.

No one forgot, it's just that there are twenty million annoying and/or terrible things going on amid a few very very good/all-time great things. Just because there's a cherry on top of a pile of shit doesn't mean there isn't still a pile of shit in front of you.

It wasn't Cena's first feud after being put in the main event, either. Although it did manage to kill Zach Ryder's push dead at the time.

I see Brie is a graduate of the Tommy Wiseau School of Acting.

 

She has a G.E.D. in Tara Reid.

 

But... Nikki is the one with the fake tits.

 

So, what you're saying is that Nikki is method.

She is, but it doesn't matter. John double-bags that shit.

Wait, not what you meant...

I like that people are focusing on Brie's terrible acting and are completely ignoring how DB wasn't any better. I guess I don't see what was so bad about the show. It's okay to love a bunch of goofy shit like the Wee LC match from last night but the second they step into SyFy movie mode, it's the worst thing ever. Quit denying you're a nerd.

 

 

If anything was absolutely terrible, it was the fact that RVD won't fucking go away.

 

 

Barrett is awesome and bad ass. But most of all, is thrilled as fuck to be there. That kind of positive energy is contagious. Hell, he even trashed the terrible Kane/Bryans segment. How can you not love him?
