The Natural Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 Sheamus' mocking Jeff Hardy made me laugh. 1 1
Steventon Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 I really dug the fired-up promos from Lashley and E laying down the gauntlet for RAW. These short, punchy promos are the sort of thing AEW has been really nailing and they are far better than the usual long, rambling ones WWE loves in front of a live crowd. 1

This match was so ho-hum and then the finishing stretch (including this schtick) was aces. I like that they gave every match time and the PPV was very strong until the WTF finish of a really, really good Main Event. 1

So yes, he probably masks up everywhere. Especially among an indoors pro-wrestling crowd in the middle of Ohio. Also, that mask makes him look like a murderous Samoan ninja. He should mask up more often. 9
Steventon Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 I would be down for Roman going full Mortal Kombat Also is it me or does it feel like WWE is badly piping in crowd noise these days? The audio of the crowd looked at odds with the amount of people sitting on their hands and all the chants felt very convenient for when they struck up
Dolfan in NYC Posted September 27, 2021 Author Posted September 27, 2021 On the women's side of things, I'm a little surprised they had Sasha run in for the DQ. I would have sworn she was going to Raw next week. But now? Also, the number of people chanting for Becky was... disheartening. Though reading the tea leaves a little... I'd guess Bianca and... Bayley(?) are going to Monday. With Shayna, Asuka, and/or Doudrop heading to SDL?

I wouldn't read into anything beyond the WWE booking a match that they didn't want anyone to lose Knowing the WWE - they will just run the 3 way on one of the Draft Shows As per usual - stories are out that USA is cranky that FOX gets both Roman and Becky so don't be shocked if Rollins and Becky get moved to RAW (which you could get the belt off of Becky in said 3 way without her losing the fall) 2
Doragon Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 Somebody should start up the Crown Jewel 2021 thread.
Eoae Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 So I have no idea what to make of the ending to the main event? Right now, my best guess is that Demon's dark lord and master, Satan, tuned in late, saw that his boy was about to lose, and sent some dark energy Balor's way so the Demon could hulk up and beat Roman down. But.... God was watching and decided to help Roman by breaking the rope because.... I dunno... God's actually a heel. Well, duh. Take a look at the daily news. What else is new? Show was mostly decent except for the main event ending and the Alexa stuff, but I still wish I hadn't flipped between Extreme Rules and NFL to get high school drama club productions of The Exorcist.
odessasteps Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 If god had anyone as his champion, surely it’s the former child preacher Big E. 1
hammerva Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 Also if Satan is watching wrestling I would think he would follow AEW with Malachi Black. Also God is still pissed for having to work a PPV with Vince

Dog Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 I'd say ask Sodom and Gomorrah, but that was more below the belt.
Go2Sleep Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 So, like the ring ropes just broke? There wasn't a spot earlier in the match where somebody was loosening the turnbuckle for something else and got cut off?

ReiseReise Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 I only saw that finish. Did Pat McAfee dance on the top rope earlier? Seriously, all about the finish was just awful. This was offensive to me as a wrestling fan. 1
Matt D Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 I'm personally disappointed that now we can't have Alexa and Lily drafted to separate brands.

Eoae Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 5 hours ago, Dolfan in NYC said: Also, the number of people chanting for Becky was... disheartening. How so? I mean, Becky is probably one of the most popular people in the company. I'm not a fan of fans cheering the heel, but it was to be expected in this case. Actually, I'm surprised how many people are cheering Sasha and booing Becky. It's going to take a lot of work to get heel Becky over. The Man was originally a heel gimmick, but people refused to boo her so the booking turned her back face rather quickly. I won't be surprised if this heel run doesn't go mostly the same way.
odessasteps Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 If, as I've heard it described, she's doing a Conor McGregor, I'm not sure that gimmick will be universally booed. I still think Obnoxious New Mother is the gimmick for her to actually be booed.
