Nice Guy Eddie Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Mizdow was playing to the crowd the whole time during his chants. I hope they don't decide to break him off yet, his act is very enjoyable.Has it been acknowledged yet that his character over the last eight months has basically been a man having a massive psychotic break manifesting as a series of dissociative identity fugue states in response to career and personal failures?This might be the greatest thing I've ever read on this board. I'd give it a million likes if I could, but since I can't, I gave it one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 1. Kane defeated Adam Rose. Kane squashed Rose in under a minute with a chokeslam. The Rosebuds tended to Rose. Kane destroyed all of the Rosebuds with the exception of The Bunny, which would have popped the hell out of me... Man, smarks really HATE that bunny. Might be money in a bunny heel run...honey.

hammerva Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 God I hope that Meltzer is just speculating that we will get Triple H vs Rock at Wrestlemania next year. Nothing tells you that the current WWE roster is so blah in the bookers opinion that THIS is an actual idea for a match in 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick B. Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Seems like a yearly tradition for WWE to acknowledge that they've completely and totally failed to create new stars by putting the part-timers in the important Mania matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Ambrose, Rollins, and Reigns are all bigger stars now than they were at Mania. I feel like if they can get Barrett, Bryan, and Reigns back along with a few call ups they shouldn't have to rely on old timers next Mania.

thee Reverend Axl Future Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I went with the rug-rat, but had to leave early because it was a school night (for her - I should fed her some Pepsi and cotton candy, the damn teachers can deal with her tomorrow). I didn't know that it was the 15th anniversary show, so that was a pleasant surprise. Too much talking, not enough wrestling. The endless promos to justify the booking (or, really, to explain the characters) are like unnecessary voiceover exposition in movies - tell the story in the ring. I miss the days when you could buy a program and it had the matches listed inside. Everybody seemed over and some folks got shockingly big reactions, even at the mention of their names. Tyler Breeze looked great and heeled it up nicely. Bo Dallas was great on the mic. I was greatly & pleasantly shocked at the big pops Adrian Neville received. The Adam Rose/Kane segment was fun. I have dug on thee Lana/Rusev for a while, but they were so over and great live. Brilliant on it's own, and the fact that the gimmick is pure throwback without any irony or winkwinknudgenudge is so good. I reiterate this: Big Show really really need to do a Krusher Khrushchev and join up with them to fight decadent Amerikan capitalism. Give him a red singlet w/a yellow hammer'n'sickle on it, cossack boots, a Lenin beard and an urshanka, and rename his Punch "Putin's Hammer". People were sure that Ziggler was gonna win, Rollins got resounding boos, and Cena had a legit big reaction of mixed chants, cheers and catcalls. Very fun, even from the nosebleeds. Now the tyke wants to see Hell in a/the Cell. bless her little mark heart, RAF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolCB Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 If Big Show turned commie, the Sickle and Hammer would be a cool mod of his current finish. First, a handheld short-arm lariat, then pull the guy back up for the punch. Sure, it might be a laborious finisher for a guy of his size. It could be pretty cool if built up and sold like it's more of an instant death move than the single KO. Like, he hates the U.S. that much more, that he'd double up for an ensured victory.

Patrick B. Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I was shocked that Rusev didn't have the old red hammer/sickle flag instead of the current version. Does Vince know the Wall came down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thee Reverend Axl Future Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Big diff between decadent Amerikan capitalism and modern Russki (oligarchic) kapitalism (at least in a heat-getting rassling context, our empire is declinig whilst theirs is rising, etc...). Big Showski as a throwback textbook commie tolerated by Lana for his usefulness and power is rubles, baby! I must also mark out for Heyman's pre-show speech: the man is a master. I was on the fence about Bo Dallas but his mic work and ring heeling was genius. calling Uncle Ivan, RAF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGFanJay Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 The opening segment was just a ton of fun. Steph had her Cena ass-smacking getup on and was both playing face and heel within this segment. The constant Network jokes are bizarre because they're literally turning the biggest company gamble in 25 years into a running joke. Loved Steph's dance because it was both wacky and bouncy. Kane-Rose was a really fun squash. Loved the rosebuds sacrificing themselves for the bunny. Seth-Kofi was a thing - Kofi being a ten-time champion really seems worthless since he's just a jobber. Divas match was short, but fun. Team Teddy vs. Team Johnny was a backdrop for amusing commentary, which was fantastic. Sheamus being all wacky doing a chain of chest beats was weird, but a new twist on that spot. The Rock-HHH skit was just bizarre since you've got HHH and Steph as heels, but also as faces, and it's just bizarre. Rock and HHH still have good chemistry, but I don't want to see a WM match between them. I don't even want to watch their matches on the Network, let alone with them trying to go through the motions of things 15 years later. Cena and Dean were pretty good on Miz TV, but Cena was entirely too happy about Dean knocking him out. This did make sense later with him kind of luring Dean into a false sense of security and then AAing him after Dean hit the Tiger Mask-style double arm DDT. Definitely a newsworthy show, and one worth checking out. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2014/10/wwe-smackdown-10-10-14-sd-15th.html Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/prmnvefk8oyxxi4dyqxvlkly20rhksha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rosebuds are just people that party with him. None of them besides the bunny are portrayed as formidable fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristobal Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Having watched it, I don't feel like it was that bad. Yeah it was a quick win for Kane, but Rose was being scrappy and staying with him until getting flattened by an uppercut when he jumped off the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
