Does Anyone Watch Wrestling? (WWE, AEW, TNA, NWA, etc)

[m8h3r]

I'll probably get round to watching TLC at some point but probably be more of a background thing. Just for the spots most likely whilst I do something else.

 

[Com Fox]

Honestly, I saw that ending from a mile away. It's been done so many times before it was relatively obvious.

If they had to do a screwy finish, why not utilize The Undertaker getting revenge on Ambrose for nearly costing Team Smackdown the victory at Survivor Series. But nope, they have to use Ellsworth in such an obvious way.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Missed it because of work (again!) but will watch it at 9pm tonight, i do know some of the results, heard it was a good show so I'm looking forward to it.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Hello again, guess who's just watched TLC!

It wasn't great but still a good decent show, started off rubbish with the tag match and Slater/Rhyno getting beat way too easily for me, Bray Wyatt finally has his first title after three years, shame it has to be a new title with no history but still its a start, fully expected Orton to hit him with an RKO outta nowhere but didn't happen, Orton with the Wyatt's just looks weird.

No DQ match was crap (a fire extinguisher?!, Seriously?!) but the show really started with the IC title match, now that was really good, full credit to Dolph for taking a lot of punishment in that match, finish was a little crap but at least Maryse didn't get involved this time, Chairs match was better than expected too, I'm starting to warm to Corbin now after being indifferent to him in the past, hope he can go on to bigger things now.

The women's title match was nowhere near as good as the one they had on 8th November, something felt off in that match and for whatever reason it just didn't click or flow, the right person definitely won, Alexa has seriously impressed me since she made the main roster.

And to the main event, the match of the night by a mile! some great moments, Styles taking an elbow through the announce table, that 450 splash to Ambrose from the ring to the table was a thing of beauty! the finish? uh yeah could see it coming and its not the best build up for Styles if he is to face Taker at the Royal Rumble, really want AJ to beat the crap out of Ellsworth again on Tuesday night to make him looks strong but where would that leave Ambrose, would he interfere?

So yeah thats my take, wasn't brilliant, wasn't terrible but somewhere in the middle, also the crowd were terrible!

Big news about a major name backstage at Raw tonight;

Spoiler

The Undertaker is apparently backstage at Raw tonight. It is not known why he is there though.

 

[m8h3r]

Spoiler: Raw above

Weird, isn't he suppose to be Smackdown!, never the less wouldn't surprise me if he is just there for backstage not on TV. Is Raw/Smackdown the same Arena.

Hit and Miss PPV. Decent spots. About it. Nothing MAJOR happened.

Yeah, so unless he's meeting with Vince about his future and his plans for Wrestlemania, I have no idea. I dunno if they are in the same arena, but it is interesting nonetheless.

EDIT: Yup, Smackdown is in Texas again tomorrow. So he is likely just visiting and sorting out plans for the future.

Also;

Spoiler: Raw Spoiler

That Lana and Enzo segment though. WWE actually being a bit risqué for once and not such a tightass on the PG rating. I loved it. Easily the best storyline on Raw currently.

 

[Com Fox]

I really don't get how Rusev is the villain in these recent storylines. Yeah, 🤬 the guy who sticks up for his wife. We all know all the 🤬 support their wives

I wish I could tolerate Enzo, but he doesn't shut up.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Lana!!!!!!!

10/10 Raw just for her!, Enzo has already been beaten up by Rusev the last two weeks so he really should have fought Cass last night, decent Raw, cant believe we are getting Sasha v Charlotte again...

 

[Com Fox]

The Miz participation award... that's the most stupidest thing I ever heard.

...don't get me wrong, it's brilliant and I want one.

I have a question in regards to John Cena's schedule lately:

Is he slowly becoming like The Rock whereas he is more involved with TV shows,movies,and other media related other than WWE?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Sounds exactly like it, he will only be with the WWE for six months next year and they are worried about it.

Saw Smackdown, liked it when Ambrose walked to the ring, hit Ellsworth with a Dirty Deeds, and then walked out again, rest of the show was meh.

I think it's what he needs to show more of in his character. A no 🤬 kind of attitude. Stole cold style. Arrive dirty deeds leave.

 

[Stephan]

If that's the case then I think this could WWE's opportunity to turn Cena heel. Give him The Rock type of heel turn.

 

[NW48]

Mickie James has reportedly signed a 3 year deal with the WWE to join the Smackdown brand.

Also, there's reports that The Undertaker is injured once again and is walking with a limp. This shouldn't be too much of a surprise as he had hip surgery just over a month or 2 ago.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

There was another match for the NXT title between Shinsuke and Joe in Melbourne last night, was a steel cage match this time, don't know the result, Shinsuke won the title back in Osaka Japan on Saturday.

 

[Com Fox]

Mickie James has reportedly signed a 3 year deal with the WWE to join the Smackdown brand.

This is great news.

I actually want her to win both the Smackdown and Raw's Womens Championships during this tenure. That way she becomes the first women to hold the original Womens Championship, Divas Championship, Raw Womens and Smackdown Womens Championship and she deserves it IMO.

 

[NW48]

So the Royal Rumble is seven weeks away now, and the question I've got is, does the WWE go back to the 40 man concept they had a few years back in order to help boost ticket sales for the Alamodome and also get in all their surprise returns slated for the event? What do you all think about that?

It's probably the only reasonable option outside of just having the traditional one. I wouldn't be against it.

Would be good to have 15 Raw, 15 Smackdown like they did before ECW showed up and ate Smackdowns lineup and then 10 for Legends + Surprise Returns

I would also like to see a 15 Women Royal Rumble match. Would be great to being legendary women back or women from NXT.

If they don't do a 40 Man Rumble, they gotta have a 15 Women Royal Rumble for sure. It'd be a great way to introduce Mickie James to the main roster again, and also give people like Trish Stratus or even Ronda Rousey a platform to return or debut on.

 

[NW48]

Well, main event for Raw is New Day putting the titles on the line against Reigns and Rollins and Jericho and Owens.

Inb4 Reigns wins the tag titles today then the Universal title on Sunday to hold all the gold.

You forgot Sasha's next challenger is totally Roman's sister Roxanne Reigns.

 

[BKGlover]

New Day retained, Owens and Jericho bickered, Rollins hit the final move, and Reigns...just sat there. Didn't even try to interrupt. Not a bad match though.

 

[Com Fox]

Nah, Roman will just cross-dress like into Ramon Reigns like Santino intk Santina Marella to beast Sasha Banks,

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Quite liked Raw, well done to the New Day but i seriously hope they drop the belts really soon as they ran out of steam months ago!

Three matches made for Roadblock, including a Cruiserweight title match and the kickoff show match.

 

[NW48]

I think the main reason they pushed for the New Day to break the record is because Ax and Smash currently are a part of that concussion lawsuit against the WWE. And we all know how WWE likes to erase records of people who have done them wrong.

See Nikka Bella beating AJ Lees record.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Cena to return in two weeks and Styles to defend his title v Ziggler on the same night.
