Niners Fan in CT Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I liked that someone watched Dynamite and decided to change the camera angles for this show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Also with the announcement of the Boneyard Match we are one step closer to an entire WrestleMania without a ring. I approve of this even though it's Vince Russo's vision some 20 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Why the FUCK does the ring announcer keep telling an empty building to "please welcome" someone???? This makes me want to punch things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I'm not always real fond of Randy Orton, but that was one hell of a promo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Evans Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Andrade/Garza make a hell of a tag team. I wouldn't mind seeing them go farther and win the tag titles down the line before the big breakup. Garza/Chuck vs Zelina/Andrade is going to be great. Promos need to be conducted in empty arenas from now on. Such an improvement. Orton's was outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Yeah, Taker and McCool were at a legit cult compound ran by a dude that has brainwashed himself a whole harem of women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes me want to punch things. It's probably a Vince thing on one of his lists. DO say this. DON'T say that. I tried to watch most of this show. The one part that cracked me up was Alister's match. When he hit the kick on that poor kid, the referee's facial expressions were amazing. The ref was like DAMN. So I guess a prefilmed match will get around Taker's limitations. It's amazing how a 42 year old AJ Styles is the young guy in this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIShane Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I thought this episode showed some encouraging signs for WWE adapting to this new format. Besides the camera angles, I thought choosing two fast-paced high-impact matches in Cena/Brock/Seth and Charlotte/Asuka was a much more effective use of archival footage than replaying the entire men's Rumble, even though that was a very good match in its own right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Andrade/Garza vs. Ricochet/Cedric was nice though Garza seemed to have ether mistimed some of his superkicks or just desperately want to go into a superkick party. He had to pull back on at least 2 or 3 of them. I felt for poor Cedric on that elbow at the end. Andrade/Garza going for the tag titles feels so damn random, but I don't have many complaints since they are good. Orton's promo at the end was good stuff.

I know they don’t really care about managers, but they missed a prime opportunity to say Zelina was able to negotiate them into a tag title match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I didn't have a problem with them showing more archival footage but the choices were so fresh in my mind I didn't need to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a huge fan of either guy in the ring barring the sprinkled match here and there, but they've always made magic together. That RAW match the week after Shawn/Cena nearly went an hour was a pretty great tv match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heel vs heel matches are tough, but they got the crowd on board and made it feel special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Angel Garza stealing the Tag Rope and trying to tag in the wrong corner was a great Heel tactic that I don't believe I have seen before. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referring to your board tag, I think the MCMGs did something similar in RoH or Impact, but that was a long time ago. Edited March 24, 2020 by J.T.

Andrade can call on "Lucha Royalty" to back him up... As much as I'd love to see Ricochet rock the Prince Puma gimmick again, I don't want the WWE to buy the licensing IP so that he can only use it in the WWE.

I saw your post before I read anything about the Tiger Shark thing, and I immediately filled in the blanks with McCool meeting the girl from Smallville at a convention signing and dragging Taker to NXIVM meetings. The reality is at least...less bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
