Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 6, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2015 Surely they're not taking the belt off Zayn so quickly!? I think it makes sense if they do. They've just had a very long (predominantly) babyface title run and the main payoff with Zayn was his title win. If they take it off of him, it gives him another chase but with a different twist- trying to get it back from not only an out and out bad guy this time but also his former best friend. Â I like the 'face wins title but loses it quickly, even more determined to get it back' angle, it's like a big hope spot, worked very well with Rock/Triple H back in 2000.

Paid Members Benno Posted February 6, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2015 Yeah as an underdog, I like Zayn better chasing. They've done it the right way, he did get his big moment, so you dont feel like an idiot for cheering him on, but it's going be even better if he's chasing Owens in some kind of blood feud. Â Im with Pitcos in that it seems early to do this match. There has to be more to come for this feud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanny Pack Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Hey, it's Hideo Itami! He's fighting Finn Balor - or, as Adrian Neville on commentary called him, Finn Ballaw - for a place in the number one contenders' tournament final, against Neville. Â Â If Neville doesnt cut a promo after his (i think) defeat to Balor at Takeover saying "I FOUGHT BALLAW AND BALLAW WON!" its going to be a massive missed opportunity. Â Great review again man.

WyattSheepMask Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I hope they never put Neville on commentary again. I couldn't tell if he was just not interested or he is just that boring when speaking normally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted February 6, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2015 I think it's pretty obvious what the answer is there, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted February 6, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2015 I think it's a combination of Riley asking him all sorts of pointless questions and him having to think of answers on his feet meaning they came out in his normal voice. Which is obviously pretty dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanny Pack Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) I think it's pretty obvious what the answer is there, unfortunately.They must have told him to speak monotone due to the accent, thats not a knock on the geordie tongue because im a scouser and i have to slow my speech when im speaking to a non scouser as its hard to grasp certain words if you dont speak that way. Barretts got the best voice you could hope to have being British in WWE.

Paid Members air_raid Posted February 6, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2015 Â I was always under the impression that KENTA being in NOAH and Devitt working NJPW would mean their paths hadn't crossed. Â There are cross-promotional matches in Japan literally all the time. Sometimes guys from one promotion win titles in others, even the big belt. Devitt's first IWGP junior title win, for instance, was taking it back from Noah's Naomichi Marufuji. Â Here's KENTA & Eddie Edwards VS Apollo 55 (Devitt & Taguchi) from a Noah show - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xy0fw9_kenta-eddie-edwards-vs-prince-devitt-ryusuke-taguchi-noah-07-10-2010_sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Oh yeah I know they do have cross-promotional matches, but I was struggling to think of a time were they may have faced off before be it once or a prolonged series due to them being associated with different promotions.

Paid Members air_raid Posted February 6, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2015 Proper series or one big singles match, no. Â Here's "Balor" vs "Neville" if anyone's interested. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xrkluv_09-prince-devitt-vs-pac-njpw-06-06-12_sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philjax Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Sign me up for a Bull Dempsey action figure. I wouldn't be surprised if he won the championship via nefarious dick heel ways by the end of the year. I love him. He needs to go over Corbin HARD tomorrow night though. Otherwise what i think they are trying to do with him isnt going to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Bull Dempsey is great, but not at being an unstoppable monster. I can't tell whether they know that and it was all a joke to get somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted February 12, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 12, 2015 Absolutely unreal event from top to bottom, aside from the inexplicably boring Bull Dempsey/Baron Corbin match.Enjoyed the Women's match more than Balor/Neville which was unexpected, and that ending both was utterly brutal and made both look strong.
