Roman Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 So Xavier Woods was on TotalBiscuit's podcast. For those who are interested:
The Nature Boy Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 That's an interesting way of looking at it. I guess what pissed me off about it too was that prior to the angle, Lana and Rusev were never shown to be an on screen couple. It was just wrestler and manager who just so happened to be a super hot woman. She would talk about crushing, then he would crush. It was simple and it worked. Sure, Rusev gained personality, but who's to say that wouldn't have happened anyway? And who's to say whether or not thats for the best? Sure the funny tweets, or hugging Vince is great. But if he had just stayed in serious killer mode, maybe we couldve gotten some more great Cena matches, or he could've finally been put in there with Brock. Just food for thought Rusev's push was totally botched last year. He should've gone over Cena and then just kept crushing people until he ran into Lesnar. I do like that Rusev has character now, but they also missed a chance to get a new main event level heel over. Rusev's new "personality" hasn't really translated into very much, as entertaining as it may be. 2
Craig H Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Side note, whenever I see or hear the word "botched," I think of Frank Reynolds. 1
Curt McGirt Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Haha, so Sheamus is out. I bet Vince is so mad right now.
JohnnyJ Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 With Sheamus out, who is left to give a poorly received push to?
cool arrow Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Time for another look at Fandango? (At least his music was over, even if he himself never was.)
The Nature Boy Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 WWE should just cancel all shows between now and Mania. It's only a matter of time before Reigns goes down.
caley Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I use to hear that about the 619. But its his premier move, of course he tries to position guys into it. Which would be fine, but it was the awkward way that guys would take a typical wrestling bump, but fall awkwardly into a prone position on the ropes, that would never happen in any one else's matches, that made it so irritating. 1
CSC Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Has anyone been able to figure out why Riley is still employed despite being bad at wrestling, bad at talking, harmful and unprofessional as a color guy, and injured for most of the past 4 years? And seemingly unprofessional in general, frequently lashing out at fans and shitting on his co-workers. What secrets could he have on Vince that are so bad Vince keeps paying him to do nothing? All I can come up with is that Riley cosplays as mini-HHH really well and Vince digs that.
Technico Support Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 WWE should just cancel all shows between now and Mania. It's only a matter of time before Reigns goes down. WWE seamstresses just finished Reigns' new "Road to Wrestlemania" gear 17
Craig H Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Depending on where the break is and the severity, Sheamus may not miss much time and could still do a match at WM as long as he's kept on TV. Still, what a crazy string of injuries. Since Cena went down, I've been waiting for the inevitable Reigns or Lesnar injury. At least HHH should stay healthy, unless he gets injured training.
Craig H Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Man... In that doomsday scenario where Brock and Reigns both miss WM, what would WWE do? Ambrose vs HHH? In trying to think of guys next in line, there's so many hurt by bad booking. It's probably something like: Ambrose Sheamus Bray Owens AJ Styles Kofi Kofi I think would be over huge. I thought his ship sailed after not beating Orton, but he stayed faithful to WWE and is more over now than ever. I really hope he gets a run at the top and those are words I never thought I would ever say because I used to hate Kofi so much.
Tromatagon Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 WWE should just cancel all shows between now and Mania. It's only a matter of time before Reigns goes down. I thought that was how he got his push 1
Patrick B. Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 WWE should just cancel all shows between now and Mania. It's only a matter of time before Reigns goes down. Vince would finally give serious consideration to an off-season.
The Nature Boy Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I once proposed the idea of eliminating house shows but that's apparently not financially feasible.
Zakk_Sabbath Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Kofi deserves it, man. He's starting to suffer from that Scott Hall thing where they've already put the US and IC on him 127 times
steve Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 The touring system doesn't seem to help the New Japan guys, their bodies still end up wrecked. Wrestling just isn't healthy. 2

SirSmUgly Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 That GIF of Vince taking such a massive L that he couldn't hold it in on camera is still maybe the most captivating GIF I've ever seen. You can tell right at that moment that he's been broken and isn't the same Vince McMahon who would take an L on the WBF or XFL and come right back from it. Amazing.
piranesi Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 So in the top heel stable right now that we're supposed to see as a force of intimidation and suspense: 2 are hurt 1 is "in the doghouse" 1 just got his ass kicked twice by Kalisto
SirSmUgly Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 They stopped that push of the New Day as the top heel stable, and it's a shame. People would buy Big E as a foil to Reigns right now, much less with his two buddies running interference for him. It's not worth worrying about Big E getting pops against Reigns anyway. Everyone not named Sheamus is the face when they face Reigns already. Might as well run with it. Big E can be the face on TV/PPV and Reigns can be the face at house shows.

Yeah, that was an L right to the grapefruits.
mattdangerously Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 With Sheamus out, who is left to give a poorly received push to? Besides Reigns? And Bob Orton Jr worked for years with a broken arm. Suck it up, fella. 3
