If he can find 15-20lbs from somewhere it wouldn't do him any harm. Lots of carbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda feel like Drew just needs to talk to Bog E or Ryback --- or Cena or Reigns or Jinder or half the roster, really - and they can point him in the right direction.

I was so annoyed with it that I turned it off. I can't believe that I just said that, but it's true, Bray Wyatt, once the future of wrestling and Matt Hardy, as solid an in-ring performer as there's ever been got me to turn off the fucking program. I'll admit that I have trouble sitting through three hours of RAW anyway, but five minutes of Bray and Hardy laughing like a couple of idiots was more than I could take. SDL is a better show anyway.

Curt McGirt Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I think the logic is more "you don't have a lot of time left, you've worked hard for us forever, let's give you a big payday", which seems perfectly fine to me. It'll be a three-way, but it could at least be a decent three-way (though that's asking a lot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathyBoy Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 If I was booking wrestling I'd run with Elias as a heel champ who uses wrestling as a side gig to being in a band. Then demands they pay his entourage or he won't appear. Just a bunch of weirdo hanger on cats, including a French mime who's his version of Paul Heyman. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overly Critical Man Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I don't care what anyone thinks, Kane has been great since he's come back. I would've enjoyed a straight up Brock vs Kane match. Mandy Rose on the other hand...continues to be dreadful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I always thought he was called The Musketeer. I also liked Mitch and Big Dick Hertz in Simon's band of misfits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reallly thought they should have had Elias do the gimmick where he's handing out flyers for fake gigs to people on the way to the ring or pre-show. When I went to Asbury Park, I thought they should have filmed some sort of bit with him involving the Stone Pony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably without a world title run but many other titles. A very good wrestler and extremely entertaining I have a slightly different take. Drew is going to be American William Regal. Which is awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 And to think of the years in the Indys Gulak worked (in whichever gimmick) and I don’t recall ever hearing people raving about his comedic skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even back to the Moxley days? Apparently, Joe and Moxley never met during the indy days. And, really, I can't think of anywhere Moxley worked regularly that would have been booking Joe around the same time. Per Cagematch, Joe never met Moxley/Ambrose during their indy run or in NXT and has only worked against Ambrose in tag matches. Apparently, they've been on opposite sides of four/six-man tags about 15 times June, mostly on house shows. Last night looks to have been the first singles match between them. FWIW, Meltzer says they've never been in a singles match together. BTW, Miz/Joe vs. the Shield (Ambrose/Seth) seems like an random match even for a house show. Wonder if they were giving some thought to putting Miz and Joe together. I don't even care much for Joe with the Bar, but I like all three and I assume they're trying to give Sheamus' neck a rest.

Wonder if they were giving some thought to putting Miz and Joe together. I was at a house show where they ran that. IIRC, the TV feuds were Miz-Ambrose and Rollins-Wyatt. They must not have wanted Wyatt teaming with Miz? So Joe (who was Lesnar's TV feud) got subbed in and Roman-Wyatt was the main event, which was disappointing as I was hoping for Roman-Joe (and it was the third time I'd seen Roman vs Bray live). They were probably testing the waters on the Rollins/Ambrose reunion more than anything. And just an FYI: Miz has been the highlight of any house show I've seen him on over the last few years. That goes back to the start of him as a Hollywood "don't touch the moneymaker" heel. I even got to catch him live during his Mizdow run. The man knows how to get a room going. Those of you who still aren't believers need to see the guy live on a house show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. that was a dumb spot. Apparently, they've mostly been hiding Sheamus in multi-man tags so he doesn't have to do a whole lot and doesn't take bumps. So then he gets in the ring with Seth and..... The other thing I hated about the spot was Seth was selling a bad leg and he went back to favoring it after the falcon arrow. So... uh, why did you do the falcon arrow in the first place Seth? If I had a bad leg, I probably wouldn't try to pick up a 300 pounder, especially after I just gave him a big move. I like Seth (as a heel, anyway), but he really needs to drop the power stuff. Also needs to protect his opponents once in a while. Sheamus is probably just lucky he didn't eat a buckle bomb.
