Phantom Lord Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 AJ gets attacked by the Ascension? I hope they're not turning the Miz again. There was a news bit two weeks ago about the WWE wanting to make Miz look credible again for Wrestlemania possibly for Intercontinental title match. I don't know why they feel the need to do a ladder match with that title when they have the US Title that they clearly don't care about sitting right there a few pegs lower on the card.

Eivion Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 The show looks decent. Miz is either being used the same way he was used in the YJAJ feud which was pretty well or they are setting him up to be a part o the rumored multi-man match for the IC Title. Either way I'm kind of looking forward to seeing him in this even though I would prefer just Sami vs. Owens as the end result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I am really looking forward to Ryder vs Breeze, even if Breeze is losing again. Is Paige in the doghouse, or just on rotation because she's one of the Total Divas regulars? She was really, really over a few months ago - but the Divas Revolution, and turning twice, really killed her push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 The truth is, Paige is definitely a step below Sasha, Becky, Naomi and Emma at this point (not sure about Charlotte) - but I still think they fucked up with her. The AJ Lee thing, hard to really know but it seems weird to blame Paige for having to work with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Paige's injury also came at the worst time for her (not that there is a good time to get injured) As she really should have been the one feuding with Charlotte (working off her belief she should have been the one who beat Nikki) Instead she got passed by Becky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 It's a matter of too much, too soon with Paige. She really shouldn't be a two-time Divas champion at this point, but they went with her because she became popular and broke up the Nikki-AJ strangehold in the division. They didn't add new dimensions to her character. So when the next round of call-ups came in, along with Naomi getting a lot better, she got sidetracked. Reality TV did her no favors, either. I'm aware she's dropped the catchphrase, but screaming about being the anti-diva while being a focal point on a show called Total Divas is silly. Tough Enough hurt her a lot, too.

Eivion Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 What Nikki-AJ stranglehold? Nikki didn't get into the title picture again until AJ & Paige 6 month+ feud where neither could maintain being a face or heel. It was more an AJ-Paige stranglehold. Paige's problem is really that she came up with no character, no decent feud, & then being paired with AJ for way too long. Whats more she really wasn't all that good and only started to improve after the 3/4 of the horsewomen were called up. As she really should have been the one feuding with Charlotte (working off her belief she should have been the one who beat Nikki) She did for about two months. It didn't work out well. They saw a good setup with Becky and took it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Paige is a much better worker as a babyface. Probably right behind Bayley and Becky. She was miscast as a heel because Charlotte was miscast as a face. I don't think it's a bad thing to put her on the back burner for awhile and then do the feud with Charlotte the proper way down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Paige, AJ, and Nikki were like the first astronauts sent to a distant planet with minimal resources tasked with making it habitable for future generations even though there was a good chance they wouldn't survive to see its success. The horsewomen are the better-prepared second wave who discover the breakthrough that makes life sustainable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamal Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Paige came up when the only divas that mattered to the WWE, at the time, were the two feuding for the title. Now that they're attempting to give all of the women something to do, it feels strange to see someone that was once the main focus sidelined a bit. But I predict that she will get more shine once they get better at rotating divas in and out of storylines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie M. Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Smackdown was super fun this week. MizTV was good stuff with Zayn and Owens starting to explain their feud to the main crowd. Miz as the shit stirrer was great as was his little fired up promo on Zayn and Neville. The tag match was really good while it lasted. I really like Owens and Miz as a team with Miz cheating while Owens does running commentary from the apron. They put Zayn over strong as Owens wouldn't tag in to face him and ultimately bailed so Zayn got to hit all his moves on Miz and beat him. Jericho's promo was excellent. Guilt tripping the fans for causing all this. The brilliant part about this is that it's all designed to get people to keep chanting for AJ even more. Finally he got creepy at the end when he burned the t-shirt and started softly chanting for AJ Styles. That's where it ended so AJ never came out or anything. League of Nations vs Lucha Dragons was pretty good. Main Event was fun too with Ambrose going over strong. This show is so easy to get through if you fast forward through the RAW recaps. A couple good promos, a couple good matches, Lana sat on the announce table and told Byron to shut tup. What more do you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Wow, WWE booking got good all of the sudden. Amazing. Then they drop the "genetic" line from Ryback and that all goes to shit. Guess we can't go through a whole show without something awful. I even liked that damn match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehabilitated Rick Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Jericho pandering to the crowd over their selectiveness and ''lack of appreciation'' for the pissed off veteran who lives off a schtick of corny catchphrases and out of date content is the best kind of Jericho for this stage of his career. The symbolic nature of the burning of the t-shirt was a neat touch to conclude a fantastic promo. I couldn't stand Jericho prior to this year but he's really smashing it right now. He needs to be a producer or something in his latter years as he has a compelling mind for a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
