crime Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Why do they insist on having these Santino/Emma and Fandango/Summer Rae matches every single show? Not just Raw, but Smackdown too. It's called a feud. It's pretty much the backbone of professional wrestling. TheWindBlower 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 The best parts of last night were Heyman's trolling/promo and the Shield/Wyatts. Everything else was pretty standard Raw fare. Still not buying into WMXXX, but i'm sure i'll still watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedpig Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I don't quite get where the tag team division is headed... They've put the belts on the Usos, and I'm guessing the NAO wont be around for long. Then they seem to be intent on breaking up nearly every other team in the tag division (Shield, Prime Time Players, and looks like Real Americans are next). Who will be left for the Usos to feud with? Harper/Rowan is all I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedpig Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Yes, quite right. Also, how could I forget 3MB. I take it all back, the division will thrive in 2014. (Not that there's anything wrong with 3MB !) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemongoat Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I tried watching all of Raw last night, which would have been the first time in years. 3 hours is tooooooo long, I couldn't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who will be left for the Usos to feud with? Harper/Rowan is all I can think of. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ambrose and Rollins team together once Reigns kicks off as a single. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sami Zayn on main roster soon, and it makes sense to me that they would pair him with someone right off the bat. The Rhodes brothers are still around too. This is all supposition, obviously, but I don't think the division is in much peril. To be honest it's been pretty over saturated for the last year.

Speedpig Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Oh yeah, Rybaxel.... a class act. I wonder if we'll be seeing Rhodes v Goldust at Mania, as they haven't dropped any hints of tension since the rumble. I hope it happens, as it could be pretty special.

Guest Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 people keep making such a big deal out of the rhodes... if they had a match hastily slapped together, would it really be all that much more special than, oh i don't know, their tag championship run? i just can't get behind the hype for one when we already had the other.

I dont think their match would be all that slapped together. I'd assume since they are brothers they have wrestled each other 1000s of times (maybe not in a promotion but in the ring in the back yard), they probably have been working on it for a few years as they have been talking about it for that long, and will already have great chemistry. A match between Ryder and Khali, now that is a slapped together match at the last minute, but not between two brothers that have been talking about it for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 i say slapped together because the show is in a month, and there's been zero build up. not even a sighting of them on raw this week. you're going to need at least 3 matches of trouble a'brewin' before an actual break up. then the promo segments to follow. i suppose that you could squeeze it all in between raw and smackdown, but do we really need to see another tag team break up?

sacredheart Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Oh I thought you meant the match would be shit, not the leadup to the match. I could see them doing it heavily as a smackdown feud, do a few recaps on Raw and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedpig Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 See I thought they were going to use the rumble elimination to kick-start the feud, but they haven't had a great deal of TV time recently, so I guess it aint gonna happen now that we're this close to WM. I think its a bit of a shame that the Real Americans look to be breaking up... they could have had a nice little feud with the Usos first. Then again, Cesaro/Swagger is a pretty tasty sounding match too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtw88 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'm watching the Royal Rumble 2012 right now. Oof. Rough time. There is no universe in which Epico, Santino, and Mick Foley should be in the same ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 The wife has been out of town all weekend as she had to go back to Illinois for a baby shower, so I've had the WWE Network on nearly 24/7 in her absence. I've stayed up till 3am the past two nights watching PPVs, and I was bummed that I'd have to go back to my regular sleep pattern tonight once she got home. Then she called and said her car broke down in Indiana and she's in a hotel overnight. More late-night PPVs for me! This weekend I watched: Royal Rumble 1994 SummerSlam 1998 WrestleMania X7 WrestleMania 25 ECW Heatwave 1999 ECW One Night Stand 2006 ECW December To Dismember 2006 (for the sheer lulz factor) Looking for a good WCW PPV to cap off the weekend; any recommendations/personal favorites?

TheWindBlower Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Looking for a good WCW PPV to cap off the weekend; any recommendations/personal favorites? I recently watched Bash at the Beach 97. It has a great early Chris Jericho match, a six-man luchador tag team match, and many big name stars in the later bouts (Scott Hall, Savage, DDP, Hollywood Hogan, Luger, Flair, Piper, and the in-ring debut of Dennis Rodman). I was surprised that Rodman could actually do a little in-ring work. Overall, the match is pretty slow though. Great pay-per-view, in my opinion.

sirrichardrichard Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I like that it includes a lot of people in the show. 30 is probably too many though - 20 would have been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
