Captain Kronos Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 But despite how good this week's RAW is, I am realizing that I may have just OD'd on WWE product these last few weeks. The commentators are screaming at the top of their lungs. Everything is turned up to eleven. Sensory overload. Add to that the dickhead crowd and their chants. I think I need to spend a week watching 1986 AWA and 1970's All Japan to detox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I think the only way they could make the Orton-Bray Wyatt feud worse is if they found a way to involve Kane in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how the whole "If you can't beat them, join them" part started - Orton turned on Kane during a tag match with the Wyatts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styles made the same type of joke he would have in 98 about Clinton getting his dick sucked, and well people reverted to their fake outrage. It was stupid and I really dislike Joey Styles in general.

Victator Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 11 hours ago, CreativeControl said: No I mean logistics of champions working TV tapings on two/three consecutive nights as well as what brand do they tour house shows with etc etc. All things which Harley Race and Ric Flair would laugh in your face about but it's not the territories anymore Champions would not need to work every show. The Intercontinental and United States champions would be defacto champions and Brock would alternate. Realistically how often will he even appear on Raw. The month after King Of The Ring 02, produced some good TV with RVD and Brock main eventing most weeks. I think it made the IC belt more prestigious and made RVD a bigger star and Brock a bigger threat to the title. It would take a moderate effort to work today, but the writers do not want that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I've never been a big fan if having 2 World Champions. I was a proponent at the time if having a touring SEE World Heavyweight Champion that traveled between shows, with each brand having either the US or IC as their belt. It's very territorial, but it would have been the best for everyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about PWI running their top tens every issue? They didn't do nearly as much with the concept as they could have, but they did use it and it leant veracity to things to have the #7 guy facing the #3 guy and so on. I always love, love, loved the PWI top 10 as a kid before I knew the way of the world. Like, why WOULDN'T Ultimo Dragon be 10th in line for Hogan? He's the TV champ! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I remember Flair's feud with Funk started b/c Funk wanted a title shot but Flair pointed out he (Funk) had been off in Hollywood and wasn't in the top 10 rankings. Funk attacked Flair and then started a brief mini-feud with Steamboat so he could move up enough in the rankings to get a shot at Flair. He lost by DQ but Flair was still pissed off about Funk piledriving him on the table so he gave him a title match anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Aron Stevens (aka Damien Sandow) claims he isn't taking anymore bookings this year (was at WrestleCon this past weekend) He insists he isn't retiring just "doing other stuff for awhile" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Jeez, didn't even realize he had left TNA. I dont watch Impact because I moved and don't get Pop on my new cable tier, but I think the last one I saw was him wrestling for the grand title.

He would have been much better off doing indies for a decent price. He went in TNA from hot shit to just shit and Aaron Rex was the final nail in the coffin. I still think he'll be good in acting but now he's got that TNA stink on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Arron Rex's TNA gimmick (After 'Straight-shootin' guy who badmouths WWE') was so bad, it was one of the signs that no matter how out-of-touch or senile people think Vince McMahon is, he still has some pretty good business sense (Supposedly Sandow wanted to do the gimmick in WWE but they wouldn't let him).

Maybe "The Black Pope" Elijah Burke worked since TNA also managed to get a few good years of an uppercarder from him. After that...not many.
