Niners Fan in CT Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I don't get this feeling that they aren't doing anything with Zayn. He was completely blindsided by Braun before the match begins. He's a guy that wins some big matches but most of the time falls short,but is also a fighter. Not everyone can be a main eventer.

He did something to annoy Brock. I think he didn't flinch during a clothesline or something, so Brock Steinerlined the fuck out of him. I just love the thought of Brock using the old Steinerline because when Rick did one it was pretty high impact. Brock is like a damn bulldozer. To be fair, I'm sure Braun was told "don't go down for anyone until you get eliminated". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Thunderlips in Rocky 3 go from face champ via doing a charity match, to heeling it up vs. Balboa during the bout, to handshake/opponent's arm raising babyface after the fight? That's two turns in one night! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Sami's now in this odd Steph-Foley storyline, so he'll be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 This is pretty true if they don't care about you you don't get a storyline with a McMahon you get sent to main event/superstars. Now if the storyline with a McMahon actually helps you is another thing all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Three segment show: Goldberg's promo on Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series and entering the Royal Rumble match, Chris Jericho/Kevin Owens interaction hinting at a breakup but thankfully didn't come to pass. The third? Charlotte/Sasha Banks setting up their fifth match this year coming so soon after their Hell in a Cell match at Hell in a Cell 2016.

Go2Sleep Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Punk only turned once. He won it as a face, then turned on The Rock and eventually lost it as a heel. He didn't turn face again until Heyman turned on him a few months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 And he turned face after dropping it to Del Rio at the end of his first WWE title run, before regaining it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Watching the Espanol replay (finally. Hey, what can I say, World Pro isn't on tonight. Damn college b-ball). There's probably nobody who takes a complete bear mauling better than Sami. That was like the second coming of Vader. And will someone -- ANYONE -- please tell Mick how bad of an idea the plaid suit is? Also, who is he to stick his nose in and stop a match? Remember when Vader kicked HIS ass, on his very own request? He doesn't have a leg to stand on when it comes to thinking of a wrestler's welfare. Leave that to the ref and stay in the back. They need to leave that Emmalina cheesecake bullshit back in the Attitude Era. Speaking of throwbacks, Charlotte's robe is awesome. I don't think Nia getting suplexed was that big of a deal, it still took two people to do it. Also her Cobra Clutch is sick. This is my first look at the cruisers and boy do they have some dorky gimmicks. TJ's NES music is okay but the white boy dancing needs to go. Kendrick's Blackbeard flag and studded leather are pretty cool at least. Are the cruisers being stuck in the pre-main death spot to make them "prove themselves" or some other such crap? And since when does a dropkick make someone do a front flip? Owens needs to be allowed to use the actual Package Piledriver as a total death move to finish a really important match someday. Maybe use it to put out someone who's booked to do a WWE movie or has to have surgery or something. If Rollins can attempt his own demise like on that dive (or that fucking DDT on the chair, nice RVD bump) then they should let Owens dump somebody on their head. I would've lost it if Rollins pointed to the sky before doing the chair-assisted forearm. Missed your chance there bud! With all the chair- and table-fu this is quite the Ode to ECW. Now that I see the "road case" was just a square plastic trash can Rollins doesn't seem as suicidal as I first thought. Everyone mentioned the Sin Cara mask but nobody said anything about the Nakamura hoodie Jericho was wearing. Odds are this ends up a very good uncut addition to one of their career retrospective DVDs. Spanish language Walmart commercials have the most irritating music ever. Are they selling "Roman Sucks" shirts now or did somebody have that made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwoy2j Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I believe Luger had a really long US title reign that saw him go from face to heel to face again. He won it as a face, turned heel on Steamboat then turned face after saving Sting from the Horsemen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In defence of the writing of his character (yes, that is a bit of vomit I'm trying to hold down), it's been part of Mick's schtick for a while that he'll attempt to caution wrestlers against committed the same sins as himself. "The Cell will change you, do you really want it?" That kind of stuff. It'd be nice if they made it more explicit and really went there, but that's 95% of WWE for ya. I chalk any inconsistencies up to brain damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 They need to go full schizo and have him change personalities based on the day and situation; I think that's been recommended here before. It would be way better than Milquetoast Mick trying to warn people about the dangers of being an idiot like himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When doing a piledriver, you keep the guy's head tucked between your thighs. It's kind of crucial to the illusion that you're driving their head into the canvas. Steen would just hold guys awkwardly in front of him while flopping on his ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
