Andrew POE! Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I like that Cesaro won with a Sharpshooter against The Miz who does the figure-four leglock badly. Maybe they can give him an actual title reign and have Bret Hart consider him "the type of wrestler Stu Hart would have liked" or something. Oh who am I kidding -- Cesaro is about as well regarded as Damien Sandow at this point by the WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides as the great Nikki Bella once said wins and losses do not matter Sandow get screwed when the whole Hogan stuff went down - even more so than Axel. That being said - I think he is well liked by the company since it seems like he always does what is asked of him to the best of his abilities and doesn't complain. So I think he is good their unless he just asks for his release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think he is good their unless he just asks for his release. I think the WWE sees him as the current version of Santino and that's his peak. Which, to be fair, is a great role to be in with WWE. Whereas I think WWE (read: Vince) sees Cesaro as someone who is in the upper midcard level of being above the IC/US title but below the WWE WHC title. An area that's filled by the Wyatts, Ambrose, Show, Miz, Owens. Cesaro's biggest problem is Rollins is the WWE WHC. If Sting wins the belt and keeps it for a time, I could see Cesaro being the gatekeeper for Sting or they could wait till after Mania and have Cesaro be the gatekeeper to Reigns, then if Reigns flops as champ, they can hotshot it onto a heel and Cesaro would be the next face in line for the belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Team LDN, surely? Besides which, the Lucha Dragons are from Mexico (I think Kalisto is American really), and Neville is from Newcastle. None of them are from anywhere near London. And LDN is already the name of a Wrestling promotion. And a song: NLD is better. Next Level Domination (or Destruction).

Jamal Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Another really good Paige/Sasha match and I especially dug the brawl. These two have good chemistry and it makes me wonder how a proper feud between them in NXT would have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Yeah that match and the brawl was the shit. Then they started replaying Raw and I literally fell asleep. (Don't worry I stayed awake enough to watch New Day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 The brawl was fun, but am I the only one who found the camera angles to be a little nausiating. Like they used some really akward close up's and combine that with the usual Kevin Dunn jitterness it made it physically hard to watch when they were on the floor. Too bad they didn't do the brawl on RAW though. Speaking of RAW, did they show the entire main event because of the low ratings the other night?

Curt McGirt Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Yeah the camera stuff was weird but it's not like a kung fu movie where you want to pull back and watch the artistry. It was a little egregious though. What I want to know is because I fell asleep, did they cut anything out of the show after the Raw match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 The Paige/Sasha thing confused the hell out of me. Paige was selling/had an eye injury and then anger-speared Sasha and they fell out of the ring. They brawled at ringside and the cameramen had a stroke by the looks of it. Then, in the TV equivalent of peripheral vision, we saw another referee run down, with the first nowhere to be seen. It cut back to a wide shot and both refs were there, Team BAD ran down, and THEN the bell rang for the no contest. Confusing as shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Were the extreme close ups possibly due to them reshooting some of the brawl after the show ended, thus the close ups were needed because there was no crowd there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually kinda liked the close-ups, they were a little jarring, to be sure, but it felt like someone trying to shoot wrestling a little different because, let's face it, they've been shooting it the exact same way for a long time now. I thought it made things seem more out of control. That New Day-Uso/Ambrose/Reigns match was terrific by the way. Super fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam O'Rourke Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Agree, dug the six man a lot. Usos are going to tear it up with New Day when they return, that series could be really fun if this was anything to go by. Strowman reminds me of how inept Zeus was more every time I see him.
