mcpaddolive Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 So besides from taking the new ECW route. NXT should just become it’s own thing, the 3rd brand. There’s so many guys from the main roster as well who are in need of some tv time who could be put into NXT. They really need to look at the bigger picture of guys who could really use a gimmick change or haven’t been a success on the main roster, let them reinvent themselves down in NXT. People like Bobby Roode, Tyler Breeze and Sanity could really benefit from taking the step back. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I didn't see it as it happened(didn't watch the HOF ceremony) but I saw plenty of videos after. Crazy stuff indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Probably the best Wrestlemania in recent memory. Couldn’t believe some of the wins we got. But GODDAMN they need to learn to trim things down. I feel like they need to keep (at least) Wrestlemania a “titles matches only” PPV. Because although Miz/Shane and HHH/Batista were surprisingly really great matches, 5 and a half hours is way too long. Not only for the audience in attendance, which are pretty much dead by the time the main even comes around, but for myself watching at home. Especially when I gotta get up for work at 6 the following morning. If you’re gonna have a PPV go past midnight, at least make it on a Saturday. Only real complaint though. Had a blast watching and it definitely left me excited for this coming year. Edited April 8, 2019 by Rip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWindBlower Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Great Mania, definitely my favorite overall in a long time. It's absolutely too long though. WWE really went after appeasing the Internet fans last night. Seth, Becky, AJ, Finn, and KOFI KINGSTON. Kofi's win is probably my favorite "WM moment" since Daniel Bryan's win, which isn't surprising given the parallels in the stories. Awesome to see the IIconics win last night. Didn't really care for Ryder/Hawkins going over on The Revival though. That felt pretty goofy, kinda marginalizes the tag titles, if Hawkins can lose 269 matches in a row then get lucky. Idk. I also felt really bad for Kurt. No one cared about his last match cuz it was against Baron Corbin. It really seemed like they just went through the motions. Kurt hit all of his spots, went for one last moonsault, then did the job. I laughed when he pretty much no sold the pin and quickly got up to grab a mic. He's a legend, he deserved a better send off. Batista/HHH and Miz/Shane didn't disappoint, even though I expected them to. Doctor of Thuganomics Cena was INCREDIBLE. The only thing I wasn't hot on was the botched(?) finish to the women's main event. Ronda clearly has a shoulder up during the 3 count. Really glad Becky went over on Ronda though. Ronda can GTFO at this point. Great Mania overall, truly. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I was genuinely surprised by the Kofi vs. Bryan match. I loved their Elimination Chamber one-on-one encounter and this match did not disappoint. I was surprised they put the belt on him, actually. Everything they did felt like they rehashed the Bryan story line (talking about his years with the company, calling him a B+ player, making it seem like the authority was holding Kofi back, etc). But they did it. I hope they can work a program together with Daniel getting rematches. It was probably the best match on the show and certainly my favorite.

Rip Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I am all about Bray Wyatt’s new gimmick. Favorite thing I’ve seen in WWE (gimmick wise) in a very long time: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWindBlower Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 DoN was fantastic for the most part. That Cody/Dustin match was incredible. A few great surprises as well, don't wanna spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched or has avoided social media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid with no cable in the 80's or 90's (we had a big satellite dish), I only watched syndication shows with occasionally getting to see Prime Time Wrestling or Raw live when on holiday breaks from school. During the late 90's, I watched WCW almost exclusively live (or VCR recorded it to watch the next day). I watched both in college but at that point in 1999/2000/2001 my friends and I never missed Raw. I think the only reason I really stopped watching was, again, having no cable. But by my mid 20's, it became boring. I don't know if it really was or if I was too old to be entertained by it. I would try to catch the big shows on PPV in my late 20's and early 30's, but it was pretty rare. The WWE Network has really helped pull me back in. But still, I'll rewatch their documentaries and original content before I sit through a whole episode of Raw/SD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I haven’t had cable for over 3 years. I didn’t get back into wrestling again until about 2 years ago. I’ve only watched Raw and Smackdown on Hulu, and even the hour and a half versions are tough to get through nowadays. Raw more so than Smackdown.

pizza face Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Just finished watching AEWDON and wow... All I can say is I can't wait for them to be on TV. Most of the moves that were performed probably can't be done in WWE. A lot of piledrivers and moves that involved the head hitting first. Amazing stuff. I don't think I can watch WWE after this show. Although the Bray Wyatt Pee-wees playhouse character is pretty great. And the fact they brought the "hardcore" title back is a step in the right direction for some good entertainment.

somethingvinyl Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I wish I could get into wrestling like when I was a kid. But all of us being "smart" now sort of makes dirt sheets and inside stuff the most entertaining part of wrestling, which is sad, because we're supposed to be entertained by the action in the right not behind the curtain.

It would help if the actual entertainment was entertaining. AEW needs to start right now. I really don’t know how much more Raw and Smackdown I can watch. Something needs to change so very soon. NXT and NXT UK will always have my heart though. Doesn’t get much better. Edited June 11, 2019 by Rip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy of mine got a suite and we all bought into it, and I had a rad time. Food and beer was suuuuuper-expensive and underwhelming, though, so pre-game beforehand.
