May 17, 201510 yr comment_5668566 I don't get Sandow or the love for him. Like I understand that he was over being Fake Miz but not every act that gets a good reaction means "this is main event material!"
May 17, 201510 yr comment_5668567 The friends and roomies here who watched WWF in the eighties are loving the Mega Powers 😀
May 17, 201510 yr comment_5668568 To be fair, "Macho Mandow" and "Axelmania" gimmick will get a better reaction from live crowds than Damien Sandow & Curtis Axel themselves, but......god damn. Just god damn. Where can this go after a couple months, tops? I can't believe Sandow finally fighting back against Miz at Mania wasn't the moment he didn't just return to Damien Sandow as a babyface. But, yeah, these gimmicks are designed for the ex-fan parents of kids in the crowd and to delight a drunk me at a live event.
May 17, 201510 yr comment_5668570 I will give Axel credit for at least trying to live the gimmick with the blond hair and mustache. Sandow looks like he got his gimmick from Party City
May 17, 201510 yr comment_5668571 I think if they keep them together it's not going to be good for Sandow because Axel is doing the "tribute" thing way better than him right now.
May 17, 201510 yr Author comment_5668572 The Mega Powers vs. ASCENSION - Garbage but not as bad as I expected. This has nothing on Torito vs. Hornswaggle.
May 17, 201510 yr comment_5668573 I love Axel in this whole post-Rumble run. Sandow I can do without.
May 17, 201510 yr comment_5668575 The Meta Powers vs The Ascension - WWE is approaching TNA levels with these impersonation gimmicks. Axel truly is an idiot for hulking up early. This match sadly was pretty much a squash with Ascension winning. Sandow was the most over act in the company just a little over a month ago. Now he's taking falls against fucking Connor.
May 17, 201510 yr comment_5668576 There had to have been Dust Brothers matches that got better reactions than that. Hottest singles Stardust match maybe. Axel's gum-chewing take on Hogan is entertaining, but man, they need to cut bait on the Ascension. Bad use of all involved. Torito vs. Hornswaggle is a fine wine that only improves with age.
May 17, 201510 yr comment_5668577 Main event spoiler: Rollins is about to be pinned, Kane comes in and chokeslames someone (everyone?) and puts Rollins on top for the pin. Then he quits The Authority on Raw and challenges Rollins for EC.
May 17, 201510 yr comment_5668578 Ascension v. MetaPowers was inoffensive and really over. Feel bad for Sandow though. Probably wasn't destined to be a big star, but they could have done something with him considering how over he had gotten himself.
May 17, 201510 yr Author comment_5668579 Ok... best case scenario.. Kane told the office he wants to spend more time on the farm and we end this Rollins experiment early AND Kane leaves.
May 17, 201510 yr comment_5668580 To be fair, "Macho Mandow" and "Axelmania" gimmick will get a better reaction from live crowds than Damien Sandow & Curtis Axel themselves, but......god damn. Just god damn. Where can this go after a couple months, tops? They're gonna get someone like Summer Rae or Emma to be Miss Elizabeth. Then they Mega-Powers will "explode" over jealousy of her.

Probably wasn't destined to be a big star, but they could have done something with him considering how over he had gotten himself. The problem is he was really un-over after the Miz feud.
May 18, 201510 yr comment_5668582 Ok... best case scenario.. Kane told the office he wants to spend more time on the farm and we end this Rollins experiment early AND Kane leaves. I don't think you'll have long to wait for the 2nd part, I'm almost certain they are building towards Rollins "retiring" Kane once they actually wrestle.
May 18, 201510 yr comment_5668583 They have to do a Kane v. Rollins singles match at this point. Honestly it should have been on this show and the other three guys should be in a triple threat to determine the number one contender.
May 18, 201510 yr comment_5668584 Ascension v. MetaPowers was inoffensive and really over. Feel bad for Sandow though. Probably wasn't destined to be a big star, but they could have done something with him considering how over he had gotten himself. The problem is he was really un-over after the Miz feud. I kind of predicted early into the Mizdow thing that he was going to die off as soon as he stopped being Fake Miz. I mean there were months of people speculating/fantasy booking what to do with him after the split with Miz and none of it was ever more detailed than "make him a serious character and give him a midcard belt"
May 18, 201510 yr comment_5668585 Ascension v. MetaPowers was inoffensive and really over. Feel bad for Sandow though. Probably wasn't destined to be a big star, but they could have done something with him considering how over he had gotten himself. The problem is he was really un-over after the Miz feud. Because they killed him dead. He should have won the Andre Battle Royal. If not that he should have beat Miz. If not that they should have had him do the Cena open challenge gimmick and have a strong tv match which he has done with Cena before. Instead they deliberately murdered him.
May 18, 201510 yr Author comment_5668586 God I hope so. Remember at WM 28 when Taker and HHH and HBK looked out at the crowd like they were done and we didn't need to see them anymore? Remember how Mania 30 felt like a new blood Mania. Won't you tell me... where have all the good times gone?
May 18, 201510 yr comment_5668587 I know everyone is sick of him but Kane vs. Roman Reigns from this past SD was really fun. Best Kane match in I don't even know how long.
May 18, 201510 yr comment_5668588 I haven't given much of a damn about Kane in over 15 years...but I'll damned if I haven't been enjoying rebellious, fiery, corporate-man babyface Kane. I actually look forward to an eventual Kane vs Rollins battle. The conflict between them has been built really well. I assume it will be at Elimination Chamber because the World title match isn't the main match on that event.
May 18, 201510 yr comment_5668589 As fun as it may be, I find it hard to care about Ziggler vs. Sheamus, because they're both stuck in the same position month after month - especially Ziggler.
May 18, 201510 yr comment_5668590 They have both EC and Battleground in the next four weeks - Rollins/Kane can be blown off at the first and set up a new title program for Battleground at that point. I'm more interested in who they think will be ready for the MITB briefcase eight weeks from now. You should be able to build anyone in eight weeks, but as of now I'll say Rusev with Ambrose as the backup plan?
