Craig H Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Oh yeah, Samoa Joe remains the best promo in the company. The only people that come close are Daniel Bryan and Paul Heyman. I really think if Joe were around 50 to 100 lbs lighter, basically close to his ROH weight, then he would have been a WWE champion by now instead of being a gatekeeper. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 9 hours ago, Niners Fan in CT said: Mandy Rose. So, I liked that they went ALL the way back to Tough Enough to reference why she hates Naomi. That was interesting though I mean she can't take constructive criticism at all can she, wow. One thing that didn't make sense. Her and Sonya "declared" themselves for the Elimination Chamber match to determine the women's tag champions. Why can they declare but the women on RAW have to go through qualifying matches? Makes no sense. In reality, I'm guessing someone on the writing team realized they don't have enough women on the roster to do six qualifiers. Raw and Smackdown are different brands (although now run by the same people), so there’s no rule they have to have the same qualifiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Dave Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Amazing to me how much better smackdown is booked than raw. Every main event player is clearly motivated and defined. Also, no Seth Rollins. Erick Rowan is the man of a thousand lives. The opposite of Mil Muertes. Samoa Joe pulls no punches on the mic. Seeing Orton’s reaction to that was fantastic. I liked the Mandy Rose thing, but any time she’s on my screen is a good thing. Where is sanity?? Gotta do something with those guys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I was kinda hoping that Sanity would be Daniel Bryan's anarchist antifa goon squad but I'm fine with Rowan (and maybe Harper) being Bryan's muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Daniel Bryan is Captain Planet, the Planet's Champion and he has a Planeteer with Rowan, Harper will hopefully be next. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still not certain they won’t be. I was sure they were gonna end up being Dean’s “purge gang.” They gotta do something with those guys, though. Too cool a look/presentation to stay in dark matches... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 The one thing I'm bummed about with Rowan is that I liked the Bludgeon Brothers and now Harper potentially has no direction again. That guy is way too talented to waste. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyWhioux Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Daniel Bryan can cut a promo on a beach and have Luke Harper emerge from the water as The Green Haze or something "Swamp Redneck Cult" and "Neohippie Eco-Terrorist Cell" has a lot of fashion overlap, the erstwhile Wyatt Family don't really need new names or looks to slot in to The Planeteers From Hell. oh, fine, Gluten Free Luke Harper.

BobbyWhioux Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I actually want to rename the Harper/Rowan team "Biodegration" and have them recycle the Demolition theme with new eco-conscious lyrics [obviously without the leather masks. And hemp BDSM harnesses are, thankfully, not included] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 They don't seem to ever like using Harper solo. The one time they did was during that run up to Bray vs Orton. Even then, every singles run he's had is either aborted or ended by injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
