sevendaughters Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 just watched Nakamura-Cena (I don't really watch WWE these days unless it penetrates my bubble) and thought it a fine little TV match and a strong put-over for Nakamura. while the Backdrop Driver was a botch by Cena it actually made both guys look good. can't comment on how Nakamura's being used, suffice to say that he still looks deeply unusual in this arena. but people seem to be digging it. hope has not died. i forgot how completely asinine and intolerable WWE commentary is though. all the stupid names for things: "Big Match John", "The Franchise", "The Rockstar", "The Modern Day Maharaj". the cutting away to Jinder and crowd reacts was annoying too.

joseph2112 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I liked Jinder better when he was Curt Hawkins. Has Rusev ever had a bad match? That is a damn fine professional wrestler. It's too bad he's not from India. Or Canada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably for the best if his career is winding down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Tamina looks like that actress that plays Willow in "Liv & Maddie" (thank you, my daughter, for making that a thing I notice). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an alternate world those guys are doing weird shit in the G1 tonight. Rusev is severely miscast as a humorless heel. Fuck, put him and Gable together as a fucking SuperPower tag team or some shit. Oh man now I desperately want this to happen. A series of great matches and Rusev gains respect for his little American buddy and they do a series of vignettes of Gable showing Rusev the joys America and him teaching Gable all about Bulgaria and his awesome family. Instead it's Randy...:( 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Rusev & Almas > Rusev & Gable but both are better than anything we'll get. He's had his time as a gatekeeper heel. Turn that sum'bitch loose as a fun-lovin' guy who just loves to have fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't Nakamura just have been a human being who felt bad for almost injuring one of the biggest stars ever and wanted him to make sure he knew it wasn't intentional?! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Presumably, it's not breaking kayfabe for a baby face to apologize to another baby face for potentially injuring him after a match. Now, if a heel apologizes, that's not kosher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cena's always giving it 'if you wanna be the man you gotta come thru me', well, to me that includes not being unctuous and respectful (on-screen!). personal peeve.

Nice Guy Eddie Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 6 hours ago, L_W_P said: Free Agent Cena is winning the Rumble and chasing Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Mania to add that title to his resume and break Flair's record. The crowd will be insane and it will be a huge 'moment' It's the safest, most boring direction WWE could go, so it's absolutely going to happen. I guess it's back to watching Cactus Jack, Brian Pillman, Raven, Sinister Minister, Mikey, and Tajiri promos for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hell, play it up as Nakamura being respectful to Cena because he denied the company ace a shot at #17. That's not really out of character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
