The only thing that made no sense was having Corbin/Mcintire wrestle Miz/Ricochet instead of just having another first round match. I liked it. It was a fun match and it reminded me of New Japan putting G1 opponents in tag matches prior to their singles bout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Oh yeah. They were all over McIntyre with the predictions too so you know he's at least hitting the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just kind of psyched for the brackets and hoping to get Corbin and McinTyre gone fast and in one quick shot, like getting a tetanus shot.

I think you'll be waiting a while for either of them to be eliminated. I quite like McIntyre, I am not expecting much out of The Miz vs. Baron Corbin, I really wouldn't mind Corbin winning that one.

piranesi Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) When I googled Graves i was soooo hoping ot find some wresledemons.org article abotu how Heyman has decided to scrap the heel anouncer gimmick for awhile but sadly just got some thing about Big E slapping Graves in the face with one of his boobs and how the one boob now "has heat with the boys" but not the other one because it knows Undertaker.

sydneybrown Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 In fairness, if I was Corey Graves and was once actually good at my job in NXT and was forced to become a fake-JBL for at least a year, I'd be in *cough cough* too. I like Vic Joseph too but he's been under the radar. Would love to see how you all like him in a year once Vince starts listening to him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 It took them all of one match to murder my hopes for a Cesaro/Kevin Owens KotR final. Boo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I wear a cap, it's always forwards. Never seen the appeal of it backwards or to the side. Edited August 20, 2019 by The Natural 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 What I saw of Reigns/Ziggler was nice enough though I would have just rather seen Reigns murder Ziggler like Goldberg and Miz did. Jo/Cesaro was stiff but fun even with a flub or two. Cedric/Sami was solid and quick enough. Drew/Corbin vs. Ricochet/Miz was solid. The 24/7 segment was fun though I do wonder where Drake disappeared to. Becky's promo was nice. Sasha was ok. Could have done w/o the cheap heat comment about Neidhart. Alexa/Nikki vs. Sonya/Mandy was decent enough though again didn't really seem to do anything to advance any particular stories. Seth/Braun as tag champ is kind of annoying, but the match was solid. The Orton/Revival segment was the highlight to me. Those three fit so well together, and that was some wonderfully evil shit they did to New Day. This was generally solid show.

Yes but half of the shit Graves says and references is stuff Vince wouldn't know. Graves with or without Vince in his ear has regressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used logic in trying to get out of harm's way. It was to no avail, but at least he showed awareness to the situation. That was good. Lawler is one of the greatest of all time, despite all the baggage. If there's anyone who knows how to sell for a Monster in a rubber mask it's Jerry fuckin' Lawler. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It denotes a scrappy, irrepressible spirit of joshing hijinks that would eventually be unleashed as a counterculture when worn by the likes of Dennis the Menace of Poochy. It denotes a baby boomer in crisis over his boner not working when worn by the likes of Paul Ryan or Jay leno. It denotes a kissass who writes the names of kids who talk on the chalkboard when the teacher is gone when worn by the likes of Seth Rollins or Pewdiepie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why there's a lot of freedom, both good and bad, while having the company lines put out. I'd imagine Cole has a signal to mute one feed and go to another to produce on air.
