JonnyLaw Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 There was also the Cena is forced to join the Nexus angle, which comes in handy in the WWE Champions game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADCAP Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Then there was this: I'm guessing this was the inspiration for the Baby Doll angle in Mid-Atlantic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or it's going to be Brock/Roman, and damn it pal, everyone is going to finally love Roman for overcoming odds...or something. First, are we allowed to talk WWE here?

Softball city. Sid does a run-in on behalf of Brock, Braun counters with his father. Then we get a derby. Of course this takes place in the Tokyo Dome. Not only to ensure a 5* rating, but because it's still set up for baseball, to make it more convenient. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Guy Named Tracy Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 On 6/1/2017 at 1:23 PM, Craig H said: I thought they ran something like that in WCW...Like Regal lost a match to someone and Jeeves had to be that person's butler or Regal had to be a butler. It was something like that. If that didn't happen, then it should have. We may be thinking of two different things, but the way WCW explained a Sir (William) being a servant to a Lord (Steven) was that William lost a bet. ROH tried something similar when Silas Young won the services of The Boys from Dalton Castle. They did a couple vignettes with Silas trying to make The Boys do manly things like change a car tire. ROH has zero production value, so it wasn't as nearly good as it should have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 On Steve Austin's podcast, Brian Kendrick suggested that he and Tozawa were limited in what they could do in their street fight in part because the company is trying to restrict the use of steel chairs. I hadn't noticed this trend. Can anyone smarten me up about how long this has been going on and how serious they are about it? At the very least, I remember the chair playing a major part in Roman vs Taker. Reigns vs Owens at the Rumble was a chair-fest. The Jericho injury angle was a major spot with a chair. Am I misunderstanding Kendrick, or is this policy only for small fish like himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo2653 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I took it as they wanted to save stuff for Extreme Rules coming up, he also mentioned kendo sticks during that segment. His response to Big Johnny trying to talk to him about the fines for weed was hilarious too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWE has tried to keep a handle on hardway spots ever since the concussion class action lawsuit was filed. They tend to save chair shots and the like for injury angles and PPVs.

Word going around was that there have been weeks lately where 205 Live didn't even crack the Top 20 most watched shows, including a couple of weeks ago when an episode of Tony Schiavone's podcast centered around WCW Halloween Havoc 1998 resulted in a bump where THAT beat 205 Live.

joseph2112 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Actually I thought TNA did a decent job with the EC3/Jeff Hardy personal assistant thing. Although I have no recollection how it ended so it was probably in true TNA fashion. Here is a small clip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 Harley Race broke both of his legs in a fall and is now recovering from surgery Quote Pro wrestling legend Harley Race broke both of his legs in a fall earlier this week. WWE.com reported today that Race fell at his home in Troy, Missouri on Tuesday. He underwent immediate surgery that night to relieve the swelling in his legs and has since received four blood transfusions and had another surgery yesterday to reset the fractures. As a result of the fall, Race "sustained a fracture to his right femur and suffered breaks in his left fibula and tibia, as well as a spiral break of his left ankle." Race turned 74 years old in April. He attended an NXT house show in Missouri earlier this year, with WWE posting an article about him reuniting with Tommaso Ciampa at the event. Ciampa previously trained with Race and worked for his World League Wrestling promotion. Ciampa tweeted a message of support to Race: "My thoughts and prayers are with Harley Race and his loved ones..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that Warrior/Hogan match is so bad it has to be seen to be believed. I haven't watched 205 Live since the second week, and based on the results when I remember to read them, it doesn't seem like I'm missing much. I think WWE is heading in the wrong direction by splitting up their talent into niche shows. They should be using the guys from 205 Live and the soon to be UK series (which I can't see doing anything but cratering almost immediately) to bolster NXT and the main rosters. I can only watch so many WWE style matches a week before I get bored, so adding more hours of tv instead of enhancing the hours they already have isn't appealing to me in the slightest. Hopefully they e-mail me another survey soon so I can futilely express my disappointment to them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
