Brysynner Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 1 hour ago, Eivion said: Every briefcase tease gets the audience excited. The issue is that they put it on someone who isn't ready or super over. Her cash in would get reactions. She would just be likely dead in the water in the aftermath because no one really cares that much about her right now. Even when she appeared regularly she wasn't getting much reaction. A simple solution would be to have Carmella put the briefcase on the line next week and let Becky win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Sorry if I missed this, but did they have Asuka formally choose to challenge Alexa? They made the deal of her choosing between two champions before Ronda came out at the Rumble, next thing we hear is she's challenging Alexa and not Charlotte.

The story looks like it's gonna be Alexa keeps saying "Nia deserves to be in the title match" as a way to taunt/duck Asuka, then when Asuka chooses Charlotte, Alexa will have tied her own noose.

AJ, Bonny and Charlotte are natural heels, but they're aligned as faces. Ruby is an excellent fiery babyface booked as a heel. Ziggler... if they just went back to him with a female manager and a bodyguard he'd rise again. I miss Zig, AJ and Big E... Read this too quick at first as "Ziggler.....if they just went back to him as a female manager." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more the concept of the face being unwilling to stoop to the heel's level or generally asinine gullibility on their part; like Sting the 4th or 5th time he decided to team with Flair in a pinch because he's a swell and decent guy that still respects Naitch only to get his ass kicked yet again. I won't punch you or hit you with a kendo stick just so I can give you the opening to hang around long enough for me to get distracted so you can do those very things to me.

I thought it looked ridiculous for Lesnar to be taking all that offense, it's one of the worst "hyped" matches of the past ten years. I share the same opinion of that match although Matt has posted fair opinions where he sold the context of it being a garbage match as the only reason Punk was able to hang. The problem is the Go To Sleep has too many moving parts as a finisher to begin with, which are even more magnified when that shittily tattooed strung out muppet looking motherfucker is supposed to believably finish a monster like Brock with it. I'd just as soon buy Santino finishing Brock with the cobra after he got bitten by an actual King Cobra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just went for the forearm/submission combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I mean fans online have this attitude a face can never ever do anything violent or else they are worse than the heel. I think it probably comes from a generation of fans who did not understand the Jesse Ventura character was suppose to be full of shit. Also Sting did not trust Flair in 95. He repeatedly refused to team with Flair until he got kids to beg Sting to team with him. Sting agrees then warns Flair if he is using kids to swerve him, he would hurt him. Which he did at the next PPV. Sorry its a pet peeve that people use Sting as an example of a gullible face. When people really mean Tommy Dreamer. 17 hours ago, Nice Guy Eddie said: because WWE...shitty writing? I think its WWE did this sort of thing perfectly with Batista and HHH.

I think its WWE did this sort of thing perfectly with Batista and HHH. Teasing Batista going after JBL briefly. Poon and kids always did distract Sting. Wasn't he being presented some award by a little Stinger when Nikita bumrushed him? At the time of the Flair ploy, I was still pissed he got distracted by Sherri turning on him causing him to get rolled up in the unification title match the year before. Also at the time it was a lot easier imagining being mesmerized by belly dancer Madusa offering you something hot as opposed to giving a shit that Scary Sherri betrayed you. As for Dreamer, I wasn't able to catch a whole lot of ECW as it only showed up at 1 AM Friday Nights on my cable and half the time SportsSouth would show Aussie Rules Football or some other horseshit instead. Basically my cable access to it was as sporadic as it has been to Lucha Underground. The first ECW I ever watched though (at a friend's house on satellite) just happened to be the week Dreamer piledrived Beulah. If those were the only episodes you happened to catch without knowing how many times women made him stupid, he just came off as an irrationally violent bastard and not such a mushy headed sapsucker.

At least Sting learned his lesson and tried using kids to ambush Hogan that one time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
