The Green Meanie Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Edit: Sorry, it was in a page earlier. Those new logos are terrible. Edited July 23, 2016 by The Green Meanie TLDR; new logos are awful

Hey I'm not the one who dated up the food chain and have a few stories about me using my sexual allure to get me places in life. Golddiggers are a very real thing. Maybe they are maybe they aren't but it's kinda funny how they moved up the foodchain without exactly setting the world on fire in a highly political business.
joseph2112 Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't think "Total Divas" is a WWE project either? I don't know any of the particulars of how that show came about, but "good looking sisters while at work" reality show seems like an easy rip of the Kardashians(spelling, I don't care). I also don't see how the WWE wouldn't really want either of them to come back, based on the current state of both brands. I don't even think they are very good, but they are still in the middle, work rate wise. To look at where they are at and think straight gold digger, I don't see it because of regardless of who they are dating/married to, they are marketable.

Casey Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 People who see "RAM" when they look at the RAW logo might need to visit an eye doctor immediately. 4
mattdangerously Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 If those are the logos they're using, I kind of want to see the logos they rejected in favor of those. 6

Zakk_Sabbath Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 So Raw is just the old logo, except it's made of velvet, some people think the W looks like an M, and the bar is on the bottom Smackdown is super boring and reminiscent of Impact. I hate to be so critical about seemingly small things, like these logos, but to me the overall presentation of a show is huge, and these were a swing and a miss for me. And as much as I'd love to see it, I really very seriously doubt they'll each have new, unique sets. I could see them pulling some half-ass move where they just use all the components of the current set in a different configuration 1

paul sosnowski Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 I just watched Shawn Michaels vs Jeff Jarrett for the first time in many years,took place 21 years ago today (7/23/95). I really was not thrilled with it. It's never been very high on my top Shawn matches list. Does it still hold up? Meltzer rated it 4 1/2 **** at the time and was considered a MOTY candidate. If you love this match, please explain to me about its greatness. Shawn took some cool bumps, but that was about it for me...

IMPACT? Although as soon as Davey Richards comes back he'll immediately make it the worst one by the fact of his mere existence, obviously. (nb: Lucha Underground isn't on telly over here, so I don't know how their tag division is). True! But I am a huge Wolves fan and thought they were the best team going before Davey's injury.
caley Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 *Shrug* I like the Raw logo. Smackdown one isn't amazing, but it's not terrible either. Also, TNA has quietly become a totally watchable wrestling program full of young, hungry wrestlers with defined characters trying to get themselves over. Bobby Lashley has morphed into this wonderful Brock Lesnar-y champion and Eli Drake is my favourite 'This guy has something' wrestlers who is pretty green but feels like he could be something. 4
Infinit Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Chikara did 2 shows today here in Toronto...and the first time I read about it was today. If I knew I might've gone to the afternoon show.
S.K.o.S. Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 If you want a consolation prize, SMASH is doing a show with a bunch of Chikara people tomorrow afternoon. http://smash-wrestling.com/upcoming/

Infinit Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Has anything else been put out there about changes to the sets of Raw and SD starting this week other than (I think) Meltzer's quick blurb in an update this week?
Jiji Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Dalton Castle is the sweetest fucking guy and he totally rules. I really think he has all the tools to be a big deal even for the shit stains running WWE. DBS Jr. was also at the show in Vancouver and he stiffed the shit out of a dude after said dude laid a potato farm on DBS' belly. DBS is so strong and really projects great size. Damn good worker.
Big Fresh Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 There should really be like a 10-minute montage on YouTube of just Little Guido snatching guys out of mid-air into Fujawari armbars. That is all.

Dalton is a class act. I used to see him every month for shows and he is hilarious. If you haven't listened to his AM Radio show you should check it out. Also his Youtube video's Brotherhood of traveling tights are great too.
Mr Harms Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 On Raw tonight I'd love to see it start off with the old Raw is War theme, with the current roster walking through the burning warehouse. I hope that there's a new set, and its a bit less polished, more rugged. Maybe playing to the fact Foley is the GM. Wishful thinking, maybe.
PetrolCB Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 That'd be cool, but only only if Bret and Sid are inexplicably still in it, like the original. 3
RIPPA Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Per Cageside Quote Due to mutual dissatisfaction with how his second stint with the company has gone, it looks like Alberto Del Rio's time with WWE may be winding down again. Some backstage believe he'll be gone when his contract allows it in October. One would assume splitting him and Paige up was the final straw 1
Matt D Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 So, uh, let me get my fool hopes up for Del Rio vs Rush again.
