NikoBaltimore Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Liked the show but just wanted to point that not only was there a King Diamond reference but Sasha's boots looked VERY similar to something Ibushi would wear. I got a kick out of both of these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I don't think chairshots have to look great or anything. You sort of get the idea, but she's almost lucky that Charlotte accidentally threw herself into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was even questionable rushing him into a main event slot in NXT, but ring work has a greater chance of getting you over there. Here, it's just not enough. I know a lot of us like the guy's work. And he's had his moments on the main roster. But he's not connecting all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be fair he wasn't as infuriating last night (him fawning over Alexia/Mandy/etc. is expected anymore) so I was cool with it.

Its hard to connect when they do nothing with you to actually build and keep momentum. People can claim Gable is more over, but he really isn't. He is in the exact same spot as Andrade where occasionally when he gets to show what he can do the crowd gives a decent reaction, but otherwise he gets screwed pretty regularly and has had trouble getting over outside of random good-great matches. There are a lot of guys in similar positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I'm gonna defend Bayley in a kayfabe sense that in being such a baby, she doesn't know how to seriously use a chair. That isn't so bad, is it? They should have her try it a third time and have Sasha say "no, here, give me the chair, let me show you how to lay it in" and after a brief tutorial Bayley becomes really vicious. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I have been more of a regular watcher of WWE since Heyman and Bishoff were brought on. I like that there is more wrestling on each show. I love the Fiend like everyone else. I like that guys I hadn't really seen since I didn't watch 205 Live are getting pushed. I would like to see more of Buddy Murphy and Cedric Alexander. It also made me want to watch other shows like NXT UK's Takeover and that was awesome. Tyler Bate vs WALTER was amazing. I have been entertained and Raw and Smackdown have not felt like work to get through. Keep improving and you will bring people like me back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyWhioux Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 yes but in ECW, chairshots carried the narrative weight of a collar and elbow tie up so in context that's not so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In conversations with/involving wrestlers, I've heard it shortened to "baby" far more often than "face", oddly enough. Just my personal experience.
