John from Cincinnati Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Angle's willing to let it slide up until the point where Braun literally crucifies Roman. So let's give it a couple more weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I'd say it's because supposedly all trades were done and finalized before RAW last night, so any action he or anybody took on last night's show would have no bearing on those trades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You saying that because if Angle had been cool with that sort of a storyline all along, he'd have been ECW champ for 3 years? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolCB Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 2 hours ago, Craig H said: I still wanted Braun to do a running shoulder block on the second ambulance as it was leaving. This, or have him behind the wheel of the ambulance, like Austin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I imagine Braun climbing into the passengers seat of one of the ring trucks, getting an apprehensive look, and Braun being like, "...WHAT?! DRIVE!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac_Fu Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 So the Braun/Roman segment was basically this: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 5 hours ago, Greggulator said: I love the fans reaction to Braun/Roman: 1) Roman beats Undertaker cleanly. 2) Braun sneak attacks Roman from behind. 3) Braun won't stop beating an already hurt man. 4) Braun then tosses a stretchered Roman onto the floor. 5) Then he pummels him as he is in the ambulance. 6) Then he tips over said ambulance. Yes, clearly Braun is the one who should be cheered in this scenario as he routinely attacks a man for no real reason beyond professional jealousy. Wrestling fans are terrible people. They are heels. The whole thing was awesome but wrestling fans are garbage people. You missed Reigns humble brag promo. "If I had known it was his last match, I would have held back. I'm just so strong and tough. I didn't mean to retire Undertaker. I'm just so buff and good looking." You also missed that Braun attacked him directly. Reigns saw him coming and could do nothing.

Overly Critical Man Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Roman should've popped out of the ambulance and speared Braun tbh. I don't like this fake news that Roman isn't strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Roman, most certainly, should not have Hulked up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 You probably weren't supposed to see Roman's boots just after he exited the ambulance, but you could see them before the vehicle was tipped. He could be storyline hurt, he could be just fine, tune in next week same Bat Time, same Bat Channel. And in that he's exactly as strong as you want him, or don't want him, to be right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kafkonia Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Point of interest - I just put the Braun/Reigns segment on, starting with the interview, and my roommate (who hasn't watched WWE in a couple of years) said of Roman, "I know he thinks he's being smoldering, but he's just so boring." So, at least for this small sample size of one 30-something woman, it's not just that it's cool to boo the guy. If anything, it's like he has the anti-"it" factor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost in all of this is the above point, that the writers couldn't be bothered to explain this whole trade/draft thing. It's really terrible story telling. Edit: hell, or.maybe Kurt doesn't like Roman either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a territory in the 70s I'd only have Andre for 3 months anyway before I had to give him back to Vince Sr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 23 hours ago, caley said: So, by that logic, tomorrow heading to SD -Charlotte (Lost clean at WM, lost clean on Raw to Jax) -New Day (Lost clean on successive Raws to Revival) -Owens (Lost clean to Ambrose) -Anderson/Gallows (Lost clean at WM, then again on Raw to Hardyz last week) -Jinder Mahal (A couple recent squashes, he can replace Hawkins on SD) It's really weird, but WWE is basically treating the shows like separate territories, making guys/gals do jobs on the way out. Pretty good, eh? Just swap Zayn for Anderson/Gallows and I would have been 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, I did a quick check on google. Assuming the Ambulance that got tipped was a Type I or Type III (the second one looked like a II, a van based ambulance), the vehicle Braun "tipped over" weighs between 10,000 to 14,000 pounds.
