HumanChessgame Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 The Mizzes should be a warmup feud for Bryan on the way to a program with Almas instead of the other way around. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I actually kinda like the pairing of R-Truth and Carmella. They seem like a pretty natural pairing. It's really refreshing to see Bryan standing tall at the end of the show, and not made to look like an idiot. I'm very glad Bryan vs. Almas was a clean match. Hopefully, Bryan and Miz are kept apart for a long, long while after HITC. I'd love a Bryan/Almas feud. Nice to see Rusev Day get the win. They're still over. It's long overdue for them to have a tag title reign. I didn't want to see a re-hash of New Day/Usos and I don't want to see a re-hash of New Day/The Bar. Overall, much better than Raw. Things mostly make sense on SD, whereas Raw feels like it's booked by someone with dementia. See, I'm not negative about WWE all the time. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Bryan vs. Almas was a tremendous TV match, I'd say definitely go out of your way to check that out. Carmella and Truth are going to be fun. Also, I'm giving The Purge a chance.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not because I've got the Yankees game and an hour of Seinfeld, but I guess it would have been better for last night's thread to be titled Raw is binge and Purge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-Mella (I didn't come up with it, but it works well) should be fun for sure. It segues into the upcoming MMC II, has continuity with the various R-Truth jokes over recent weeks, and its a sensible way to give Carmella something to do now she's out of the title scene. After shows like last night's Raw, its always to be appreciated when WWE does something that makes sense. Liked Almas/Bryan a lot (great chemistry, unsurprisingly), and thought the Charlotte/Becky promo was well-acted and did a good job of building intensity without overdoing it. Joe's promo was good too though I thought the opening 'OHHHH WENNNNNDY!' was a bit much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 The NWA title is more relevant than it’s been in years, and suddenly R-Trurh is winning main events. Coincidence? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beech27 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Becky and Charlotte were refreshingly abrupt and just the right degree of clever. Obviously I don't know what went in to the production, but it felt like a "these are the points to hit--go!" sort of thing, rather than the overscripted banter we sometimes get, where wrestlers recite comebacks that clearly took fifteen minutes to think up. Instead, they talked over one another, and it actually felt a little angry and awkward. Really good. Speaking of refreshingly combative things: Bryan and Almas struggled over a goddamn irish whip. Both guys are as good as it gets at making the go-go style look fast, athletic, and yet not too clean, like all that pretty choreography is actually effective violence. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Bryan/Almas was good. It was good seeing Bryan successful at the end. Truth in the main event felt odd, but was neat. Love hm and Carmella together. Rusev/Aiden vs. The Bar should be fun. Dug Becky/Charlotte interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 The Charlotte/Becky segment reminded me of those promos on Superstars and Challenge where the two wrestlers would be on different screens with Mean Gene moderating. That should be a thing again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing is that if Cody was still in WWE, he'd probably be main eventing The Main Event against R-Truth right about now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 The show starting with Almas/Bryan, finishing with 1. a decent three-way tag where most of the participants were conspicuously on the floor most of the time with Rusev winning 2. Truth winning 3. the heels getting choked is not a bad show. You can easily mute through everything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Only thing that really bothered me was Carmela and Truth just leaving. Mela should've stopped Maryse from escaping or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Miz running back to the ring, then stumbling back to the ramp, as he & the Mrs. looked on in horror, realizing they may have pushed Mr. & Mrs. Danielson too far and are going to get fucked up. Bryan giving Miz the seated elbows and stomping his head in would be a great flashback to ROH World champion, best in the world, and terrific dickhead Bryan Danielson.

The Green Meanie Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Unfortunately they kinda spoiled the team of Truth/Carmella by showing the MMC commercial before their backstage segment. That segment would have worked really well to use as an explanation. Corey also had the quote of the night: "A new back for Sasha to stab!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
