J.T. Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I am dumb. Cactus Jack's Cane Dewey heel turn in ECW is Number Five now. Cactus was right. ECW fans are ungrateful fucktards. Windham turning on Dustin is Number Six. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice the women holding her back i noticed that as well. Also, the "face" locker room for the women is really small compared to the heels. Charlotte's backup is Asuka, Lana, and Naomi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you see Charlotte just beat two women so that means she's the equivalent of the Iiconics and Asuka is so dominant that she's the equivalent of Absolution. Lana and Naomi are there just because. I didn't see Vega or Mella trying to break up the fight. And there was one hilarious moment after Becky was unjustly attacked by Charlotte that Peyton started holding back Charlotte and then went immediately to Becky when she realized what she was doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Dug the Miz/Maryse vs. Bryan/Brie build. Jeff destroying Orton was nice. Becky's promo was great. I don't think Becky is miscast as a heel, and this is one of the better built feuds they have done. That said they have accidentally Daniel Bryaned her for the last year and half so people will cheer for her and want her to be not just a face but successful. The question now is whether or not they will course correct and fix things for both her and Charlotte or if they will end up screwing up Charlotte the way they did Roman. I'm hoping we get a double turn with Charlotte goign too far in one of their matches. The Mella/Paige/Truth stuff was fun. Joe is a magnificent evil bastard. Barring Miz beating AJ to setup a WM match with Bryan, there is really no good reason for Joe not to win the belt. Bludgeon Brothers vs. New Day was good. Shame Rowan was injured. Can only imagine how much better it could have been. 2 hours ago, J.T. said: Becky has skyrocketed to #3 on my lifetime Justified Heel Turns list. Charlotte Flair had that beatdown coming to her. That promo was great, but Becky wasn't remotely justified. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 No idea why but watching that New Day clip I envisioned Big E with bright yellow hair like Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man. That would be such a great heel look for him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallacy! Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 The kind of thought process that goes into writing Becky to tell the audience "you didn't cheer for me enough, and you cheered for my opponent" (both of which are totally untrue) as a justification for doing bad things, while the World Champion on the other show has been completely impervious to legitimate crowd reactions just like those, is the kind of insulting shit that got me to barely watch WWE for much of the last year, and will probably turn me away again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overly Critical Man Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I can only hope the crowd continues to treat Becky like an angry friend who's lashing out and venting and saying hurtful mean things, but they're understanding and supportive and will still be there for her. "I hate you! You're never there for me!" "It's okay, Becky, we're here for you now." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Code, mother fucker... 2. The Rock's first heel turn / Die, Rocky, Die! Number Three used to be Joe's heel turn in NXT and the subsequent beatdown of Finn Balor. Joe being told he had to earn his title shot was bullshit. He is Joe. Give the man his championship opportunity when he asks for it. Barry Windham turning on Dustin Rhodes for keeping him from pinning Steamboat is probably Number Five. HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT WE ARE TRYING TO WIN TITLES, MOTHER FUCKER~? STEAMBOAT IS NOT YOUR PARTNER, I AM~! What about Shawn Michaels heroically pursuing that coward Marty Jannetty as he tried to escape through the barbershop window? 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Well, again, WWE may already be pivoting away from making Becky a heel. If you're the type that catches up by watching what WWE puts up on YouTube then Becky's promo is very much a face promo. All of her attempted heeling on the crowd is totally cut out. I tend to watch a lot of the clips they put up and this one really appeared to be edited in such a way to change how it came across during the broadcast.

Yeah, I noticed that too when watching the clip last night. They edited out the crowd blame and Becky came off more like a resurgent badass than a whiny heel. I’m not sure if they’re still going to make her a face, but they’re not exactly discouraging the cheers with that editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stuck out like a sore thumb. At first I figured that was a Vince thing but then realized that was totally something Corey would do. Even if you didn't know the context it seemed almost out of place for him to say that. At least mention Billie as well since she's standing next to her. I just hope that's all they say about it. Try as they might no way will Becky be booed throughout this feud. All we really need is for her to win the title for a bit and there'll still be time for Charlotte to get it back for WM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 This episode really showed the importance of having someone like The New Day. It's ridiculous to think about where they started (a dead-on-arrival gospel gimmick) to becoming annoying heels to becoming one of the hottest acts in the company to now -- an act that will forever be over, even if it has grown stale. All of those guys play their part so well. They (and The Usos) are perfect for the "oh, crap, that's a horrible injury, who can we give the belts to while we recalibrate?" role.

John from Cincinnati Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 My big question is where they aim to get the heel-face dynamic for Ronda vs Charlotte. Right now the crowd would hypothetically be solidly behind Ronda. What happens the second you put Ronda in front of Sasha? Then you've got your most vocal fans turning on both of the women pencilled to be in your big Mania match and the whole thing goes a bit pear shaped. And with the planned Horsewomen vs Horsewomen match and the general shallowness of both womens divisions, they can't get around Ronda vs Sasha forever. This comedy of errors has a chance to get even more amusing in the coming months with the booking of the women on both shows converging into a pretty spectacular dumpster fire. I'm investing in popcorn and salt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
