odessasteps Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Technically, that would require me to get the Network, right? I went to a house show and bought a Regal shirt last year.

And someone already pointed it out, but Roman seemed a bit different tonight. Not sure what's up there. Also, Austin Aries verbally destroying Tony Nese was magnificent. The guy needs more mic time, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I would like to dream they are going to do a Strowman/Reigns double turn. I can watch Strowman vs Owens every night. Owens was great on the mic and really put over the brutality of the PPV match. I wish this guys had been champion since Summerslam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thinking about this further, it's January 31 and we really have no idea who John Cena's opponent at WM is going to be. The rumor going around was Joe but how in the world do they get there based off current storylines. Maybe they really do go with Orton vs. Cena but holy shit that would not be good.. I think they should just do the original plan and go with Cena/Taker. I would be very happy with a WM card that looked like this Goldberg vs. Lesnar AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton John Cena vs. Undertaker Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens Braun Stroman vs. Roman Reigns Fill in the rest...

BurningBeard Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'll spell it out for all you lot whining about Joe not being on Smackdown - Rollins (a Raw wrestler) invaded NXT to call Triple H out. That's Samoa Joe's yard. So Triple H sicked him on Rollins. Hence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehabilitated Rick Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Heyman & HHH cut two all time great promos tonight, good lord. Joe's simply another layer to the HHH/Rollins feud, or is he? Why not have Papa H send a NXT heavy(s) every week to deal with Seth? Nah, probably not, but it'd be cool seeing The Revival break Seth's kneecaps. How to get Seth to HHH without Joe being the sacrificial lamb is the question? This is only going to lead to Seth decisively beating Joe at Fastlane to earn a shot at HHH. Nonetheless it was a cool way to debut him on top of the card on his first night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'm guessing the Fastlane match will be Rollins/Joe with the stipulation that if Rollins can beat Joe he'll get HHH at Mania. Rollins could win by some fuck finish, say HHH or Steph trying to interfere and it backfiring which allows Rollins to get a rollup win or something. Post-match Joe can whale on Rollins for a while and still look strong. The only other option I can see is that it ends up as some no contest or with Joe beating Rollins decisively which leads to a Mania rematch. Honestly I'd rather see that than Rollins/HHH but I guess their program has to get blown off at some point and of course HHH needs to get his Mania spot. That will probably leave Joe to be in HHH's corner during the actual Mania match, or maybe he'll win the Andre Battle Royale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 When Triple H was griping that Seth let him and the Authority down by getting hurt, I had to wonder how many times Vince has cut that promo on employees in real life. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd sounded flat and Joe should have probably Muscle Busted him to the depths of Hell before sinking in the Kokina (which didn't look very good either, it just looked like he put on a basic sleeper. And don't run in wearing a Tapout shirt and jeans dammit). Yet, though the clip didn't have Seth talking, I still wanted him taken out just by looking at him, and Aytch came out good when he was talking so it's about even. I liked the fact that he didn't bother to put him on the top rope, because he wasn't there to win a match, he was there to hurt him. He came out dressed for a street fight with jeans and taped fists. Same with the choke, looked awkward because Seth was struggling and Joe just bodied him to the ground. It looked visceral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only downside is you gotta wait a day to watch them. Pretty solid beatdown from Joe and Rollins is the best kind of guy to put him with, a guy who can pinball around for his offense. I'm sold.

Just Dave Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Samoa Joe is 37. At this point, his best use is stuff like this. I'm not a Rollins fan at all, but using Joe to heat him up for HHH makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts on this segment improved greatly when I realized it was not. School Board member Rick Steiner attacking Rollins after threatening kids would have been cool. 8 hours ago, RolandTHTG said: so all things considered, Braun is going to be lost in the Mania shuffle. Winning the Andre trophy seems a little beneath him at this point. the Zayn stuff has probably run its course and you've got three big guy matches on the card already. If they put him in the Andre Battle Royal, they should make it practically a squash and put him over incredibly strong. 8 hours ago, Cameron Swift said: Yep, that was a great HHH promo. His reasoning totally made sense too. It's even consistent with all the Daniel Bryan "You're just a B+ player" stuff from before. "We gave you the ball, and you couldn't handle it." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w. josh Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 They really need to stop trying to book HHH as a heel at this point. Between Attitude era nostalgia and being our NXT Papa, he's going to get cheered no matter what. Joe's never going to get a heel reaction, either. This storyline would work better with Rollins as the whiny douche, pissed that beloved indie patron HHH is trying to create the next version of him on NXT. I mean, that's exactly what the storyline is, but they'd be better off acknowledging it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I guess I'm in the minorinty of people who's not that enthused by Joe's debut. Sure, it was a cool moment, but I don't like the idea of Joe just being a roadblock in Seth Rollins' way to Triple H. Of course the alternative would have been Joe possibly getting one win against Cena only to lose the million subsequent matches, so... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehabilitated Rick Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 1 hour ago, just drew said: And I think plans changed for him when he got over. Maybe they will for Joe, too. But AJ also laid down for Jericho at Wrestlemania. Did plans change for AJ? you could say following the Reigns feud Vince saw gold but even taking that into consideration he debuted at the Rumble and had a good showing, beat Jericho the following month at Fastlane, won the tag titles, yes he lost to Jericho at Mania (which was dumb) then the following night was the number 1 contender pinning Jericho (thus winning the feud) and then put Reigns over strong at the next two PPVs but looked arguably more competitive than anyone else at that point in the Reigns superman era. He beat Cena clean twice after turning heel and has been the figurehead of Smackdown ever since. I'm sure over time he won over the WWE brass and was positioned in a more credible main event role, but he hasn't been a bit part player at all during his WWE run. I don't believe Trips lobbied for Joe to be called up to the main roster after being the NXT ace for a year only to be in a pawn in his feud with Rollins then to be lost in midcard mediocrity, I see Joe being protected just like Balor and initially Owens was when he was called up. I still envision Cena/Joe happening in some cross promotion type match too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Happy to see Joe debut in a big way. He should just walk around and do whatever he wants....like no one stops him. He just shows up at RAW....has a match. The next week he shows up on SmackDown....has a match. Shows up at PPVs and just inserts himself in a match....no one say shit. Joe should be that bad ass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
