They release it to make the move safer, so the answer is never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Moose Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 At risk of fantasy-booking entrances, I want Gallagher to come down in a three-piece suit every week. And then have a striped beach tent by the ring that he steps into and changes in. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember JBL doing an interview where he said Danny Burch was one of the best promo guys in NXT...so of course he got no televised promotime before being released.

AxB Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Rob Terry was such a bad promo that for two years, he responded to everything by flexing without saying anything. Although when he did talk, he had a Welsh accent that made him sound all cute and soft. It's odd, because in the WoS era, interviews weren't a thing. Nobody did them ever. But even when guys from that era were called on to talk, they did a goodjob (Regl, Finlay, Adams et al). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riding a penny-farthing would work too. Surprised no one else is picking up on the ridiculousness of match results being EXPUNGED now.

The Dusty bear thing was also dumb because rather than being mad, they have Goldust just do the normal Golden Truth entrance. Aside from him doing a house of fire at the start, it didn't seem like he was mad about it. To me it would have worked better if you had either Goldust jump them on the ramp or before the bell or thrown a trash can at them. Also doesn't help they have him job, I'm guessing by an attempted tights grab but given there's no waistband on the body suit to grab it looked goofy. Whether you feel it's in bad taste or not, feel like they could have at least made it work better. Unless they have Bayley go all Beatrix Kiddo on Gallows and Anderson in the coming weeks....

Bustronaut Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 It's a teddy bear, not his dad. He likely should have been angrier that Bayley gave him a piece of comped merchandise rather than going out and buy it herself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 So there was a tweet from Da Meltz which popped up on SquaredCircle yesterday where he says the best time for WWE match quality is "now." And that comes with an obvious, unspoken-at-the-time "but." Roman and KO's matches have been that "but." Very good stuff between two guys whose work I really enjoy. But I've seen it too many times to care. I look at my WWE MOTY list, or even non-MOTY matches I've held in high regard this year. Not all of them have been definitively better as far as in-ring quality is concerned. But most of them have the advantage of being something I don't feel like I've seen 500 times over the course of four months. And if they are, then I've tended to favour matches which have clearly strived to be distinctive ending chapters to a rivalry. I really wish WWE would find a new way to approach their weekly programming. I'd have loved to have enjoyed 1-2 Roman vs KO matches which felt special this year. Instead... Speaking of things that feel special to me because they haven't been beaten into the ground yet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 The "seen it too many times to care" thing is indicative of WWE's booking, it's not strictly the Owens/Reigns program. I wanted to enjoy the Sheamus/Cesaro series, and the Miz/Ziggler stuff, but like you said, I've see it too many times to care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Oh, it's absolutely a problem all over the program. It just did an especially good job chaffing my ass last night considering the regard I have for both Reigns and Owens. SmackDown Wildcard Finals followed by Swann vs Neville should be a good palate cleanser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ray Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I think the angle should be that the factory that makes the bayley bears is on a native American burial ground because they only seem to cause problems for people who get them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Nia Jax's eye roll, look of disinterest, is the single most infuriating thing on Raw. She has moments where she looks badass in ring, but her facial expressions need a ton of work. Gentleman Jack makes Raw way more tolerable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Anyone else think Owens could stand to use more variation in his matches? I'm starting to feel like if I've seen one match of his I've seen them all. whether it's him and Roman or him and Cena or him and Rollins it feels like an "Owens match." I think that's one of the issues with the main event scene on RAW. See, I can still watch a Charlotte and Sasha match and enjoy the hell out of it because for the most part they've been different each time.

I think that's a problem with WWE more than Owens specifically. His matches with Sami usually take on a life of their own, at least they did before they started getting booked in throwaway Raw matches. I expect the Jericho match will stand out as well. When you have to fill too much tv time relative the roster size with extreme micromanagement and an overzealous leader with a "one show at a time" mentality, everything feels the same... Who would've guessed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like her work a lot, but I die a little when she ends her matches by going out of her way to make the cover facing the hard cam. I know part of WWE is the emphasis on working to the cameras, by they should really draw the line somewhere. Unfortunately, you know nobody's likely to coach that garbage out of her because their trainers and producers are probably supposed to reinforce it.
