Eoae Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 1 hour ago, RIPPA said: From Today in the WWE freaking out over one rating that everyone but them saw coming As Meltzer said today - they are loading up RAW tonight to be "PPV quality" (the #1 reason they moved Lashley/Orton to tonight) And to add to it - they had Big E tweet that he is going to cash in MITB tonight Except for young up and comer Randall Orton challenging for the title, that is very much not the card I'd book if I'm desperate for ratings and looking to put together a "PPV quality" card. Is anyone excited about Shayna doing anything at this point? Seems fairly obvious Charlotte will beat her in some fashion and the match will mostly serve for Nia to dish out a beating or as a way to further the Nia/Shayna breakup angle. Big E teasing a cash-in seems to suggest that he's not cashing in or that he's not going to be successful. A New Day turn on him would probably be a terrible idea, but New Day are pretty stale at this point, so something needs to happen. Hopefully, I'm not the sort of viewer Vince is hoping to lure in tonight. I probably won't read about the show until sometime tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. He may be successful. But after playing the fake cash-in card so many times, it's hard to muster any enthusiasm. If this is the best they've got, what's next week? Legends night? Another draft? I wonder how bad things get before people need to talk Vince out of giving his friend Donald a call... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't just announce it I posted the lineups... sometime... it is somewhere early in this thread. Since they are mostly SDL shows with Drew McInytre and a couple others moving over. And Roman Reigns and the Usos are supposed to work RAW house shows since they aren't going on the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overly Critical Man Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Peak wrestling bubble has to be people who think losing a “demo battle”(if that even is a thing) to a show it’s not even going head to head against has WWE more concerned than the fact Thursday night football just had 20 million viewers and MNF will undoubtedly have the same or more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimo Necro Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I love when wrestling media goes full Frank Grimes on WWE. ”ah ol’ WWE’s okay give it a break” ”no it is not okay, and I want everyone on the Internet to realize it.

Sublime Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I think Gargano would be better suited to go to Impact where he could be a bigger fish. I don't know what his future will be in WWE if he stays and there are the changes to NXT, I don't seem him as having a lot of success on the main roster. Especially with HHH out of favor it seems. AEW doesn't really have a spot for him, unless he wants to be a solid mid to upper card hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Impact seems a good spot, has NJPW and AEW connections plus creative freedom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I think Impact with the possibility of New Japan work and cameos in AEW would be optimal for Johnny as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
