Eivion Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Yeah Coach was definitely worse than Booker. He seemed to be incredibly rusty having been away for so long. I'd have rather they brought Otunga back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Coach was terrible, but Jerry Lawler would have been an upgrade over Stephanie McMahon during the Women's Rumble? I feel like this board doesn't get to say who sucks or not after suggesting that little nugget of gold. As I was once told by someone on here when I was complaining about Booker T's horrible commentary... "mute it or don't watch". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us complaining about Coach and preferring Booker T's crazy bullshit over Coach being an idiot has nothing to do with one or two people saying they would have preferred Jerry Lawler over Steph. Not to mention, the reason I saw against having Lawler announce the women's Rumble was that he used to shout puppies, something he hasn't done in years.

Did he say "history" every thirty seconds, scream "oooooohhhhhhh" a lot, and audibly clap his hands into the mike for the wrestlers? Because I've heard a lot worse in the past few days. That Sasha bump was fucking brutal. Even Asuka seemed to be freaked out by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 At what point does Vince or HHH or Road Dogg or someone pull Sasha aside and tell her no more tope suicidas? The move is beyond overused and Big E or Sasha are going to prematurely end their careers doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sweetser Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Seriously, guys, watching WWE on mute is the way to go. It's the only way I enjoyed any of the Rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Corey Graves is really good though. My dream booth for both shows is Corey, Tom, and Nigel. We might just get that someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he was totally buried. He got his finishers in during the commercial break along with 75% of his offense. 29 minutes ago, Niners Fan in CT said: Plus, Finn went 57 minutes in the Rumble. I think they have big plans for him. Ziggler had that massive comeback in the Survivor Series match. That worked out well.

It certainly would have derailed the "yay women" momentum to have one of your big stars break her neck the next day on live TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 If it was the same people wanting Lawler as disliking Coach then you night have a point there. But I don't think it was, at least thus far. Graves is great, and I really really enjoyed him and Booker together. I'm not going to mute it because I still like Graves, but Coach is a massive downgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure you were the one who told me to turn off the television or mute it because I didn't like Booker T. I'm so, so loving some of you hating Coach on commentary, because it's how I've felt for months having to hear Booker spout out stupid phrases and be a 2nd rate Dusty Rhodes (which is a pretty low bar in the first place)Â with how incomprehensible he is.

odessasteps Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I don't remember that, but my memory has been poor recently. I do generally think muting is the best way to enjoy the visuals, whether it's wrestling, baseball or what have you. But I also don't understand hate watching. Why consume stuff you know you don't like? Life's too short. I'm lucky in that, since the only current product I watch is CMLL, where I sort of know from my Spanish speaking lucha pals that JCR is not great, but it is really just background sound when I watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyuubi Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 1 hour ago, Overly Critical Man said: Seeing how Finn literally got squashed by Kane in three minutes a couple months ago, I'm pretty sure this wasn't a burial. It's the structure of the match that makes it seem like a burial. Throughout the night, the hyped up Finn being the longest lasting opponent and having a performance of a lifetime. Cena is distracted and actually letting the crowd get to him. In fact, Finn was an afterthought in the match. Cena dominated the match and usually when there is a guy working heel and the guy working face is getting dominated, you'd expected some form of spurts from the face, but in the match Finn literally looked weak. Facing a visibly distracted and effected Cena(something few people faced and won with less) and still losing clean. I don't know. It just seemed like a squash burial to me if not a questionable booking decision. Everytime Finn gets some form of momentum, it gets immediately followed by a loss of some kind. It;s weird.

Omega Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I think that Sasha spot looked worse than it really was. Sasha didn't land on her head and she slapped the LED board to make Asuka's kick sound more devistating . Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I just find it odd that so much focus is on the women when they take a crazy looking bump but guys like Cesaro just as easily could have broken their neck a few times. The women might be smaller but the men can just as easily get really fucked up off these spots. And no, Cesaro might have more experience but he's nearly broken his neck now a few times. Then there's his teeth...  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy he was facing was one of the biggest stars of the last decade, and they put over Finn himself having worked nearly an hour the night before and likely not being 100%. it wasn't a burial. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's probably true but what I'm saying is all it takes is one bad landing from Cesaro, Big E, Rollins etc.  They've all been close many times. There was that one in particular with Cesaro in a match vs. Sheamus where I thought he broke his neck.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Oh yeah, one dangerous bump from a woman gets more "reckless"Â tweets than a hundred from a man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Look at Sasha's neck and then look at Cesaro's. There's a reason I'm way more concerned about one and less concerned about the other. Plus, there's also the subjective nature of caring more for one person than another. Hell, I wouldn't even be that concerned about Nattie or Dana or Charlotte. Sasha is just more of a ragdoll with her bumps and she doesn't have as much muscle to absorb the blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
