Shawn apparently didn't like him either as he snitched on him to Vince for doing coke, getting him fired. Which is an incredible double standard btw God I do not want to see a desiccated Takayama in a wheelchair... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 BTW - Pro Wrestling Sheet is pushing the narrative on Twitter that because tickets sales for TLC are shitty, the WWE is going to do the Shield Reunion match on that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 1 hour ago, Sky Blue Sam said: He's someone who was on UK Big Brother around a decade ago, tried to use his brief fame to work indies as Billi Lightning, then disappeared from the public view. He's the worst kind of Twitter know-it-all in that he's always wrong. Finest example was him telling Jimmy Havoc he'd never wrestle a match for WWE...the day after Havoc wrestled for WWE at WrestleMania Access In this case, he seemed to think it was ok for people to chant "get your tits out" at a 17yr old girl wrestling because wrestling has historically used women for eye candy, and "no one actually cares about women's wrestling". He's either a troll or an idiot, probably both. while I actually believe he has those beliefs, people like him really like to use awful trolling as a way to bolster his argument. He also said things like "Paige porn movie > Paige entire wrestling career". I guess the logic is that if you piss them off so much they will get irrational to the point people will look at them as crazy and disregard their opinion. so I would say he is both which is worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 The WWE is really playing up the Hawkins losing streak thing now so imagine the most infuriating way for them to end it and then they will trump that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could swear I heard Meltzer say something similar with the opening of Raw setting up the Shield reunion. Because that's honestly the last bullet left in the chamber to get Roman over - a Shield reunion. At this point, they've burned up any good will with the crowd that I'm guessing the crowd cynically shits all over that too. A Shield reunion to just do the Shield vs Miztourage? I'm a fan of 6-man tag matches and the Shield always brings it in those. If the Shield and the Wyatts could put on MOTYC, then Miz, Bo, and Axel should get the same or even better quality matches out of the Shield. My only problem is that it's just not that interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Nash, Vince wanted to fire him right after that but Nash told Vince it was just an accident. He also fell out of favor for crushing Taker's face later that year.

If it's an actual Shield reunion, like the Shield are a faction again, I could see that being the one thing that might quiet the boos of Roman. If it's "Shield beats up Miztourage and then Roman goes off on his own again", then they'll cheer the Miztourage beating and go back to the status quo after.

I remember staying up for the 1999 Rumble (1am start ON A SCHOOL NIGHT in the UK) and being a zombie at school the next day. So when you add that to the bullshit you point out I do not have fond memories Us Brits suffer for this. I remember feeling same in 2000-2001. PPV's began later when Channel 4 showed them. Best Royal Rumble matches: 1992, 2001-2004, 2007 and 2008. Worst: 1995, 1996, 1999, 2006, 2011, 2013-2015. 14-15 noteworthy for the shit treatment of Daniel Bryan.
