June 11, 20196 yr comment_5890774 Has there ever been a bigger pair of geeks in the world title programme than there is now with Seth and Baron?
June 11, 20196 yr comment_5890775 5 minutes ago, C.S. said: I can't stand Seth's "babyface" promo style. I actually didn't mind his heel promos that everyone else took a shit on. His whiny voice doesn't help either.
June 11, 20196 yr comment_5890776 I thought KO and SZ were on SDL? Yes, I know - "Wildcard Rules." "That's some good shit, pal!" The brand split is officially a joke.
June 11, 20196 yr comment_5890777 That fifteen minute opening, or however long it was, pretty much sums up why WWE is currently so trash. Baron Corbin, Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens. Just fuck off. A bunch of geeks. Not interesting whatsoever. Never going to have a money promo. Never going to have a match I care about. Just interchangeable dweebs that kill TV time for the sake of killing TV time. No star power or charisma. No drawing ability. And completely clueless as to what good wrestling even is. But I'm sure they'll kick out of twenty finishes, shake off their selling to get their shit in & hit some fucking floatover superplexes and apron powerbombs and shit. Fuck off.
June 11, 20196 yr comment_5890778 Lucha House Party is Mexicools 2.0. Not even Rey is getting treated well these days. So much for wanting to grow the Hispanic audience.
June 11, 20196 yr comment_5890780 How much of that Alexa promo was the absolute truth about Bayley? I remember her tweeting similar things about Banks before.
June 11, 20196 yr Author comment_5890781 At least Jinder had presence when he was slotted in the main event. Seth... not so much. At least not as a face. Him being an actual chickenshit heel was something that he excelled at.
June 11, 20196 yr comment_5890786 LOL, Bayley loses in San Jose again. Can't even give her a win in a meaningless tag match. It's not going to mean a thing long term of course but WWE is gonna WWE.
June 11, 20196 yr comment_5890789 WWE is so boring. Every main event is some combination of Seth, Corbin, KO, Drew, and/or a wasted and misused Sami Zayn.
June 11, 20196 yr comment_5890790 Kinda interesting "backstage battle" point made by the Observer Raw recap guy. HHH and Steph have largely been off tv since the nba playoffs started. Knowing ratings would be down. Shane has been all over TV during that time.....

They do that during football season too, they tend to disappear when it's clear a show is going to be low rated.
June 11, 20196 yr comment_5890792 Shane was all over TV long before the NBA playoffs though. (Unless they've been going on for months? I wouldn't know...)

Man, this reminds me of that dreadful 2nd half of 2016 when RAW was all about Seth, KO and Jericho, while Roman and Rusev tried to get something out of it. It was painful.
June 11, 20196 yr comment_5890798 Man, I can't imagine why nobody wants to pay silly money to watch this main event scene. Say what you will about Corbin, he's correctly cast as smarmy heel asshole and cuts promos that suit that. They've got the World Title (sorry, UNIVERSAL Title) on a babyface who doesn't know how to cut a babyface promo, who, when going into a match with an injury, barely chooses to sell it, instead opting to dive around the ring like an asshole because that's how all his matches work and has a voice like nails down a chalkboard. Owens and Zayn were two guys who always got responses and were two guys that people wanted to believe would get a good push but that's been blown to hell too. At some point, I want them to go full Hall of Pain with Lars Sullivan and see if that gets us anywhere. At the moment, this show is like someone has hamstrung themselves while playing EWR and decided to injure all their actual stars so they have to make do, except it's just raw incompetence in reality.

And that's before we even mention them beating Bayley in her home city yet again because why have anyone the fans believe in?
June 11, 20196 yr comment_5890801 Cone on, there is progress on that front, they did put over Mansoor in Djeddah...
June 11, 20196 yr comment_5890804 In other news, this guys surely knows where his bread his buttered. Still, so young and already such a stooge, that's pretty fucking pathetic : https://411mania.com/wrestling/velveteen-dream-defends-vince-mcmahon/

Bryan Alvarez talked about that a few years ago and said it's essentially company policy to job people in their hometown.

The city I was born. Also the same city where Shawn Michaels won his first Intercontinental Championship Title. Fun fact.
June 12, 20196 yr comment_5890828 Woof. Also, RAW did an historically bad rating again, as expected considering they have NOTHING going right now and the NBA Finals had a huge game than ended up being a classic.

Booking San Jose for this time a year seems like a stupid move because surely there's good odds that Golden State would be in the final.
June 12, 20196 yr comment_5890830 The Miz and Roman vs. Shane, McIntyre, and Elias feud would be good if Shane weren't involved. I actually like Shane as a face and don't buy him as a heel at all (even a "chickenshit" heel).
June 12, 20196 yr Author comment_5890831 While I'm not against the idea of Shane being this rich playboy piece of shit, not sure if Miz being 3-0 (or is it 4-0 now?) against him is the smartest idea. At this point you are risking making Miz, who's over as the babyface, look like a goober, and not get the desired result for the pay off.
