This week felt much more like people playing characters instead of the normal natural way most folks act (outside of when they have one person jump another) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becky's backstage promo was great stuff. Felt like an actual person, not a character, talking It was basically the same unscripted promo she cut on Youtube after the match. Someone must have seen it and said "hey just do that again." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be better if he just went about his business and it was left as a surprise down the road. Since Corbin is into metal, I hope the briefcase gets decorated with metal band stickers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made it very clear that the referee's decision was final and Andre was the WWF Champion; however, by surrendering the belt to DiBiase, he effectively vacated the title, as the WWF Rulebook (TM) did not allow for the transfer of a championship in that fashion. Which didn't stop Shane from giving Mideon the European title in 1999, but hey. Maybe because no money changed hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure there's a rule in the WWE Rulebook that states a McMahon has the ability to violate any and all of these rules at his/her discretion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 On 6/20/2017 at 9:47 PM, Kyuubi said: Carmella had a point in that it is No DQ, but she falls into a slippery slope because if NO DQ means no standards then Money in the Bank could be a glorified Hardcore Rules stipulation match in which anyone could walk down that ring or from the crowd and take that briefcase. They could not because they are not a participant in the match. Ellsworth did not win the briefcase even if he took it down, he handed it to Carmella, who of the legal participants got it first. This was just a terrible resolution to this. Telling anyone who watched for the "historic" Women's Money In The Bank match that they wasted their time. Bryan should have said the decision will stand then make a rule that prevents it from happening again. Has WWE and the fans worked themselves into thinking the "women's revolution" is anything more than a marketing gimmick? Its no more legitimate than when they started calling them "Divas". Jinder managed to have a bad match with Harper, which hasn't happened since Brock, so he is in good company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibiase was the champion dammit!!! I'm sorry but I run hot on this issue. But seriously they will acknowledge Inoki beating Backlund but not call Dibiase a former champion.

Michael Sweetser Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 In my heel's heart, DiBiase was a former WWF Champion. He bought it fairly and squarely. Essentially, DiBiase's championship reign was negated because Andre didn't have the authority to transfer the title. (Good thing he didn't drop the title in any of those matches he had while it was getting sorted out - imagine if they had pulled that shit on Duggan) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez Ted saw how it worked out with Larry Zbyszko buying the National Title. Though at least Larry kept it a month and is listed as a former champion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Agreed with all the praise for Carmella's opening promo, good stuff and makes me wanna see her win it legit.

Dewar Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Luke Harper as a "born-again East Indian", complete with a turban and proper beard maintenance would be great. They could telegraph his future babyface turn by allowing the beard to become a bit wild again, to signify that Jinder's control over him is slipping. Mostly I just want another guy with a totally generic white guy name to have to change his name, a la Mike Shaw in the 1980's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
