Niners Fan in CT Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Wow the 3 part Miz/Bryan video package was great. This match is going to be fire. YouTube has part 1 up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIShane Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Those video packages were good stuff, and Miz and Mrs. even got a second season announced tonight. I also like the way they're continuing to build up the Becky/Charlotte story, with their tag match actually having continuity from last week's with Becky refusing to tag Charlotte in near the end, (Its a small thing, but its careful detail like that which makes the matches feel like they have purpose rather than being random filler.) and Becky later leaving Charlotte hanging on tea-time. Hoping they get a chance to have a major singles feud after Summerslam, preferably with the belt involved unless WWE really wants to keep this Carmella reign going. Its also really cool that both go-home shows opened with 30 minutes of build for the women's title matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I love Bludgeon Brothers squashes. I hope they keep the titles at Summerslam. I really want a Bludgeon Brothers/Sanity feud. That would take me back to the days of Demolition vs. Powers of Pain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the fact that Powers of Pain were treated like actual shitkickers and Sanity are the 1988 version of the Bolsheviks. I would have loved a feud too before I realized they were Smackdown's answer to the Authors of Pain. Seriously, Authors of Pain were a shit team that actually earned my respect. And apparently both teams did all that for nothing since they are still being treated as shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Loved the women opening the show again. I like what they are doing building Charlotte vs. Becky. One of them really needs to win the belt at Summerslam. The video packages for Bryan vs. Miz were great. They could easily end up stealing the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also feel that logically, Becky should be SDL women's champ by Evolution at latest, though I fear online fans are going to ignore the careful storytelling if Charlotte wins this Sunday.

DJ Hero Morganti Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I actually think they have two cool stories they can tell will Charlotte and Becky. The ending should still be Becky as champ coming out of Evolution though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like that even their social media stuff is pushing the story. Becky's tweet (and her instagram stories post, which I highly recommend) is presenting her as absolutely confident she's winning the title at Summerslam, whereas Charlotte's is about Becky leaving her hanging on tea-time: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An argument could be made that a short match with a shitty finish would be much better for the feud. If the Miz wins. If he isn't winning then it would be pretty stupid. The weird thing about the videos is that even though the Miz is the clear heel and a jerk, Daniel Bryan kind of comes off like an asshole as well. The idea that Miz still doesn't have respect and the effort for the WWE even after 8 years is pretty delusional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Arguably a long match with Bryan winning benefits Miz by showing he can hang with Bryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I kinda hope Miz wins with like a picture perfect small package. No screwy finishes or anything. He just outsmarts Bryan wrestling wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Bryan made his return at SummerSlam 2010, Miz took the low road and knocked him out of the match with a cheap shot. Miz took his frustrations with his shortcomings as a professional out on someone who was in no position to give him the response he deserved. He went well beyond the line verbally. Bryan's always been someone who thinks highly of his ability and doesn't hold a high opinion of Miz as a professional. But Miz's response to that has always been disproportionate. I know "WWE faces are the real bad guys" takes are always in vogue. But this is a bad one. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
