Eivion Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 As someone who watches John Oliver regularly they aren't necessarily wrong. He had plenty of apt points, but his presentation was incredibly one-sided. I've said it before, but while there is plenty you can blame on Vince you can't blame every single thing on him and have to realize some of it is the business of wrestling itself that presents certain issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarrie Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 If they go with the main event stipulation Rippa quoted from WON - the champ who loses the fall loses their title - isn't that kind of stacking the deck FOR Becky? If Charlotte or Ronda pin or tap each other, they're a double champion. If they pin or tap Becky, they get nothing. Gives them very little reason to focus on Becky during the match. Odd way to book your top face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 It's a stupid stipulation. It only makes sense if it's a true "winner take all" situation where whoever wins is a unified champion. Or they can just wrestle for the RAW title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Based on the WON blurb Rippa quoted, it sounds like Dave is trying to say the current plan is winner takes all, while the plan earlier last week was that only the loser lost their belt.

Niners Fan in CT Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 From what I remember Dave said that WWE was calling it "Winner Take All" but it was because they don't know what winner take all means. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Rather than having WM end with the Four Horsewomen holding up belts in the ring, wouldn't it be better if they teased that and then one of them turned heel and blindsided the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I'm hoping that Angle's farewell turns into a tag match - Joe/Baron vs Angle/Rey. At this point, I'm genuinely concerned about missing my flight home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I'm only half paying attention to things right now, but no one let me miss Trips/Steph going through Axxess. It's begun: "Oh look, I'm on TV." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Man, that was just the best part of WM last year. That Steph and HHH video was good for the entire length of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just happens to be really great at taking risks and making them look effortless. Same point I was making with Ember. And again, people can call Jeff an idiot for bumping like that but keep in mind, he almost never sustained an injury. So either he was lucky or he knows what he is doing. I've never seen Ricochet look like anything more than a deer in headlights behind a microphone. Maybe he'll get better. He doesn't really need to... again that was another point I was making. Not everyone has to be a great promo. Hey! Come back with those goalposts! Risks for most people <> routine for someone trained. We can argue this one all day and make little progress. You yourself say "risks for most people" and I would concur with that. The caveat of course being that the more one is trained to do a specific thing, the less risky it becomes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 For what it is worth - Meltzer on the radio show this morning said he was told they still haven't decided how they will handle the women's titles post Mania.

It actually make me kind of disappointed since it would have been a lot more interesting with some build to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustronaut Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 They would never unify the titles that quickly, it'd be a tacit admission that they had made a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustronaut Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 The only mistake was treating the Women's Title like the Divas Title. Little to no storylines, random matches, 4 minute tags, no build up of any characters besides the Horsewomen/Ronda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
