Peck Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The Gallows/Anderson merch shill was a “test run” for full-fledged babyface promos/etc., right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I knew Elias was something special in NXT. But good lord, last night he probably had his best match ever. That should have been the main event to end RAW. Can't believe they ended RAW with the Kane/Braun stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Sweetser Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 At this point, the only viable WrestleMania main event might be Brock vs. Roman vs. Asuka. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of anyone, Roman comes close, but he bounced back, Finn was the fucking champion and he's never even had a shot at getting back the belt that he never really lost.

I think this got brought up earlier/elsewhere, but I'd agree that the closest would be Daniel Bryan's impossible run in 2014 being cut short. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overly Critical Man Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Obviously Bray getting injured right before he was to wrestle in drag as Sister Abigail was a huge blow to his career. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing one of my five favourite wrestlers ever, Daniel Bryan become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion at the main event of WrestleMania XXX and what we went through with the fanbase forcing WWE to change their booking plans because Daniel Bryan was the guy to them. Awesome. My avatar is taken from Bryan's celebrating with the WWE and World Heavyweight Titles at WrestleMania XXX. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevendaughters Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 very sikk tobi-juji-gatame from Asuka (Raw MOTY vs. Dana Brooke) followed by classic WWE "mystery" story-telling that was just uuugh. I don't like WWE that much but I find Elias a hoot. Wish he was a bit better in the ring but he can actually generate heel heat. Bit Kaufman, bit Honky.

Heh. Shitty year for Bray. Bray wins the WWE Championship, loses it to Randy Orton in a fucking awful WrestleMania XXIII match with powerpoint presentation projections onto the canvas of animals. Bray beats Orton in a House of Horrors matcjh, that it was. Bray is in a never ending feud with Finn Balor, gets mumps or meningitis and loses to Jason Jordan.

Shibata Is My Homie Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Elias/Roman match was very well done. It made Elias look like a credible threat. Balor getting "squashed" was probably punishment from him posting on the Twitter. Kane/Braun was awesome. It made Braun look like the bad-ass monster that he was in the beginning. Wouldn't be surprised to see Asuka join team Paige and being the mastermind behind the "invasion". Asuka would be so much better as an ass- kicking heel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say this because I was a big fan of the guy in NXT and for his first year in WWE, but Bray Wyatt is about as played out as fifty-something Shawn Michaels prancing around to "Sexy Boy". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of anyone, Roman comes close, but he bounced back, Finn was the fucking champion and he's never even had a shot at getting back the belt that he never really lost. Here's the deal with Bryan: 1.) He was being given the Zack Ryder treatment vs Kane. They were booking him running away with Brie in fear and the fans were starting to turn on him. You can go back and watch those episodes of Raw and see how bemused he was to be getting the Cena reaction. 2.) He was going to be sacrificed to Brock at Summerslam. 3.) Vince had already decided that Roman was the guy. Bryan had moaned to him that he wanted to be the guy instead, but I think they would have gone through the motions at least one time more. Bryan only got the title in the first place to heat up Orton for the title unification and Batista after all. Vince was never fully getting on board. The answer, like Mark said, is Sting in 1990. The recent answer, I'd argue, would be Dolph. We all can't stand the guy right now, but he was super over with the double turn and the AJ/Big E act and he never came back from that. I'm not at all convinced that Balor had a rocket strapped to him. He was the fortunate beneficiary of coming along right at the time of the draft and when Roman had his wellness policy violation. I half think they were putting the title on him because the Demon paint matched the red of the new belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
