Rusev sucks, I said from the beginning that after Lana's great introduction someone really impressive should walk out and Rusev isn't it.

I really hate Wyatt's "whole world in his hands" thing, it's not at all cool and different like the Wyatt's have been, it seems cheesy, like putting children singing a nursery rhyme in a horror film. I already disliked it but it's overuse one Raw made it 10 times worse.

 

I like it a lot - it plays into a lot of the scary religious mentals in the USA. It really is a more religious country on the whole, people just seem to think and talk about religion a whole lot more all the time.

I reckon it could be Sheamus.

 

Sheamus and Del Rio are too big on their own for that spot. Hope they give it to someone though, Zeb, Swaggie and another man is a good combo.

I dunno, in pretty convinced it should be Alberto del Rio. Part of the joy of Cesaro in that team was the fact that he, you know, wasn't american and the idea of him getting a Mexican in is just beautiful hypocrisy.

To be fair, the segment actually pointed towards bryan and kane next week (as Kane specifically said next week), rather than extreme rules, but it dsoes seem likely that thats where they'll go unless they go 8 man

Whenever WWE does well, TNA is always screwed.

 

After wacthing an OK RAW, a good SmackDown and fun NXT episode....I am really not bothered anymore to watch TNA.

This week I only watched it due to the news of EY

Just been reading about the theories around Denver international airport. Blimey. Anyone know much about this?

Houchen to thread....

the only exception is Batista, he should stick to his in-ring gear.

You just are.

Looking forward to the new breed against the millionaires club main event mafia against the frontline Kanevolution against the goats of justice (which is almost certainly what JBL will call them).

I hate to be a disappointment, but it seemed to me like they were going with HHH vs bryan and shield vs kane,orton and batista for extreme rules, building to evolutions reutrn at summerslam or mitb. Hope it's wargames though

So rumour is going around that AJ Lee is engaged after a ring was spotted on her finger last night. Surely Punk's too fucking tight to splash out on one though.

I thought it was an April Fools when I saw it. Surely being married when one of you is on the road is hell?

Well yeah, there's no doubt of that, but its also really common for it to work like that.

Second City Scrounger.

I guess the three slots will go to next guys? Rusev for sure, and I think he'll win.

He's horrific. I don't subscribe, so only listen to the free shows they put out, but even that's more than I can tolerate. The combination of his whiny voice and 2003 workrate perv opinions is too much.

He loves mark henry and other such big dudes way too much to be called s workrate perv.

I thought they;d kind of disappeared of late. I guess ROH/Japan beckons to follow their boy AJ. Huge loss.

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but I found the Daniel Bryan segment interesting. Firstly because the WWE has taken the whole "hijack raw" crap and made it theirs, thus taking it away from the hijackers.

Secondly I thought it was interesting that as the "protesters" did the yes thing more, the actual audience did it less. It became less their thing I suppose. Hope it hasn't made a significant dent, doubt it will though

Cena's not in the battle royal.

If you're in any way a fan of South Park, you MUST play Stick of Truth. It's full to bursting of in-gags and nods to the show, a great script and a solid RPG mechanic. Just wonderful.

 

Agreed. Finished it this morning and it's fantastic. The day I got it, I didn't stop playing for 10 straight hours, which is something I don't think I've ever done with a game before.

For sure. Its genuinely like being in the show. Its great work

I see your John cena update and raise you a meltzer John cena update

John is selling the beating from Monday. There is no groin tear or groin strain. There was no admonition from doctors not to work this weekend. It is part of the entertainment portion of the presentation, a body part to sell at the house show tonight and tomorrow..

I think Rusev is as well. Everything about him so far is just a slightly new spin on the monster heel role, and he's just a bloke who doesn't wear shoes.

Rusev talk, especially shoelessness always reminds of this gem:

Plus everyone on the internet that isn't at the live shows slating him, that's a good majority of the fan base.

That's not true though. The internet makes up a miniscule population of the fan base, and the crowds at a few raws (and it has only been a few) don't necessarily represent a majority at all. It's a tens of thousands versus millions.

 

I don't know the ratings either, I must admit, but people booing at shows doesn't mean a huge amount. It can become a huge amount if the TV audience start to associate him with that stuff, but it doesn't yet

 

I was saying the large amount of fans at shows plus the internet community is a large majority, not just the internet fans alone.

I know you were. I'm saying it isn't. Rereading, I wasn't clear on that.

Is that really true these days? Fucking eveyone's on the internet.

I thought the build up videos for Gunner were really good, it hyped the match and fleshed out his character nicely, TNA can be good at doing these 'real' type videos.

As good as they all were, in context they lose a lot. Cos, you know, he lost. And failed everyone he dedicated his match to
