Cass is going to be DOA when he comes back, isn't he? I kinda thought his best chance post-injury was going to be pairing him with Enzo and/or Carmella. Maybe his giant character can still work on SDL, where there aren't many huge guys. I don't think he's going to look very intimidating if he ends up working Braun. Personally, I think Luke Gallows pulls off the big man gimmick better in terms of looking imposing. Also, how big is Elias? He looks like a big dude, but Wikipedia lists him as 6'2", 217 lbs. (billed). KInda thought he was a good bit taller and heavier than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Yeah. Cass is pretty DOA when he comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuntmanCrowley Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Wow, I thought Elias was a lot bigger than that myself. I wonder if it's the way he's built? Because it seems a lot of those 217 lbs are in his shoulders and traps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you already pulled out its soul when March Madness was Johnny Cashed..... Also, I assume it's a reflection of wrestling's dwindling popularity as much as anything, but it wasn't that long ago that the Omnibus thread topped 100 pages pretty much every month. Actually, irrc, that was originally why we started getting monthly omnibus threads - the 1,000 page long threads tended to crash the board. I also blame the lack of "humped my mom" framistans and the banning of MG-whateverhisnamewas-Fan and his creepy butt shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmella confirmed it when the episode of Total Divas aired Basically it seems that the stress of buying the house and Cass' injury ended up being too much. She also claims that she realized Cass was never going to marry her but who knows how much of that is true and how much of that was played up for Total Divas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, did it seem like the crowd was getting ready to turn on Shane during that segment? Like right before the beat down you could hear boos coming, as Shane pretty much admitted he's been a jerk in all this, until Kevin and Sami came out.

Spritenaut 32 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I find Shane unbearable. Credit where credit is due: he's willing to take awful bumps to sell an angle, and his piteous whimpering is very convincing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, here's the thing about that. I think those were two different reactions, (about to) turn on Shane had that awkward silent pause, D-Bry was just plain booing.

Cristobal Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 A friend and I got into a debate about the bump Shane took, with my friend claiming it was reckless and unnecessary (which would be par for the course with Shane tbf) and me saying it wasn't nearly as dangerous as he was saying. I went all Cristobalumbo on him, taking pictures of paused moments to illustrate my case (he only fell a couple feet, and that crossbar thingy looked to have padding on it) but basically the debate ended when I showed this picture (spoilered for size) Spoiler cuz now it just looks like Kevin was eating Shane's ass. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Re: Shane's punches I don't understand how the guy that leaves more sunlight in his strikes than the Sahara at noon is also the guy that potatoes nearly every single person he has a match with. It boggles my mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Because he's put all his effort into throwing them quickly, it means he widens the range. Most wrestlers will make a show of lining their punches up, which sells it to the crowd and also lets them keep that range narrow. A normal wrestler's punch is gonna have a range of a few inches, from "very close but no contact" to "snug", which'll have some impact, but won't be a full shoot punch. When they miss outside that range, it'll either miss semi-noticeably or "Oops. Well shit, I got a receipt coming." Shane, because he tries to emulate Muhammad Ali with about 0.1% of the training and athletic ability, has a range of "basically inside your face" to this: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 As much as I dislike Shane.... well, his involvement in this angle pretty much guarantees that Sami Zayn is going to be in one of the highest profile matches at WM. I wouldn't have believed that a year ago. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Nah man, Sami doesn't wear watches. He wears a fork that he bent around his wrist as a bracelet. (Tell me I'm not the only person who witnessed their ska/punk friends wearing that shit) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
