Sammo~! Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 If Bray ever does drop the cult schtick, I want him to reveal that running a swamp cult was all a plan hatched by his father in order to get Bray a religious tax exemption, and he never really believed in any of that mystic mumbo jumbo, then we get Corporate Bray Wyatt tag teaming with Corporate Kane and managed by IRS. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Ray Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 By the way, DBry was floating ideas for Carmella and Ellsworth's entrance for mania: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 What an infuriating show. AJ's opening promo was good. Becky/Nattie was fine, though we've seen it before. Carmella declaring her intent for the Women's scramble was met with a thud. Alexa/Mickie was a mess. The crowd had no idea who to cheer for. Credit to Mickie for trying to keep it on track, though. Miz TV started a bit slow, but Maryse brought it around. Nikki was way too happy for a match that everyone and their grandma knew was happening, all for her to get a marriage proposal that Cena will move Heaven and earth not to honor. Why did they bother with Mojo/Ziggler? Baron Corbin was reading off cue cards. Orton cuts a dry promo and claims to hear the voice of a long-dead woman; Bray comes in with a wacky promo, but at least he has an excuse as he's grieving over his burnt-down house. Did he eat ash dirt? I can't call what Bray did blackface if we ignore Finn Balor's black demon paint. Wyatt just looked like he had been playing in a dirty fireplace. They couldn't have pissed more on the tag division if they had tried. The match has been overdone, but AA and the Usos were doing good work. Bad enough to deal with a crowd crying WE WANT ANGLE. But then to have to compete against Shane for attention. And why did no one call Shane ahead of schedule to warn him about AJ? I'm guessing dude has a cell phone. At least try to make the story semi-plausible. Bryan wasn't wrong for getting rid of Styles, but he allows Orton to breeze in after purposely burning down a co-worker's home on live TV. WTF. Styles and Maryse were the only ones who made sense on the show. Everyone else was way off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they just rebrand Ascension or Vaudevillains? We've done this before, but he seriously needs a Baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the WWE would figure out how to stage these things so that's it not blatantly obvious the interviewer, the camera man, and whoever else is around see the heel coming but don't try to warn the babyface. And then they show Shane going through the car window... from a camera placed inside the car. It was actually a decently worked beatdown segment up to that point. It just screamed "hey, all of this shit was planned in advance" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 double post but might as well add that I thought that crowd was flat as hell for everything outside of Styles and Maryse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCM Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Awful show with a crowd that was just as bad. I'm not really looking forward to a single SDL match at Mania. Considering they have the best worker, the biggest star, and the best heel in WWE that's pretty sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 That was the weakest SDL in a while though I still enjoyed Talking Smack. Bryan going on about wanting to punch the Miz and calling the mixed tag the face punchiest match did please me. Still, I would be a lot more interested if this was just Cena vs. Miz with Nikki in the women's title match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He eliminated himself in '92 after he had already eliminated Jake. It all starts with Andre, who eliminated himself in '89 running from Damien. I'd much rather watch ghost Andre or ghost Savage than Randy Orton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
