Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 18, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2014 I know! I haven't heard that name in at least 10 years, that reference has genuinely made my morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 18, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 18, 2014 Between that and finding out the name "Lesmonds" for where women with short hair get it cut this morning I've been tittering like a schoolgirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted January 18, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2014 I had to Google Alain Robidoux, but it would seem that Hallicks is bang on with that comparison... Â Â Now, that's the gimmick they should have gone with for Wade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Anyone watch Smackdown? The women match had the worst backdrop I've ever seen. Naomi was lucky not to have been killed or lost a tit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted January 18, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2014 I watched it, but paid no attention to that particular match. The Usos vs Real Americans tag match was great fun though. Heels on Wheels! Â New Age Outlaws had a match with the Rhodes brothers. Who would ever have thought you would see Billy Gunn, Road Dogg and Goldust tearing it up in 2014. Â Also, what a fucking mesmerising talker Bray Wyatt is. I thought his promo at the start of the show was sensational. Â It was a decent show this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted January 18, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2014 I understand the reasoning behind turning the NAO heel (i.e for a short term storyline) but it reminds me of when TNA turned Hulk Hogan heel. In 2011, no one wanted to boo Hulk Hogan as he was a novelty act, unlike 1996 when people were getting sick of him. In 2014, no-one wants to boo the Outlaws. The longer term fans are just happy to see them, and the newer fans will just sit and watch largely bemused. I can't see what's to gain there.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted January 18, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) I see no problem with it. Road Dogg and Billy Gunn are old pros who are a value to the people they are working with. Having them on the shows and working with the likes of the Usos and whatever young team there is around is probably what WWE wants out of them. And its hard to have them on TV as babyfaces, because their whole act is to do the rhymes and the catchphrases and to put themselves over. They always had better matches as heels anyway. I'm happy they are moving past more than just a nostalgia act and they are regulars. I think there's a massive chance they'll go into WrestleMania as tag team champions. I think they'll get a run out of this in the next few weeks. Edited January 18, 2014 by IANdrewDiceClay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum1993 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Yeah I'd have thought they'd take the straps at the Rumble leading to friction between Cody and Goldust. Then one eliminates the other in the Rumble match leading to a Mania match. Simple. Then you can do the Outlaws against The Usos or something at Mania.

Big Bully Busick Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I just don't see what others see in Big E Langston  His matches suck even though they are kept short and its not like his mic skills are top notch (yet)  Happy to have him change my mind though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted January 19, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 19, 2014 I think he's very good given his limited experience in the business, but a long way from being the finished article. I think his promo skills are actually better than he has been allowed to show on Raw so far. Like most of the midcard, he suffers from not really getting many opportunities to stand in the ring with a mic in his hand. Â My problem with him is his look, despite the massive muscles he doesn't have much of a tough guy aura about him. He's got too friendly a face to look like a bad ass.

Big Bully Busick Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 He also has the stature of Tony Cottee in 86 which isn't going to help him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gadge Posted January 19, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 19, 2014 Big E is developing nicely considering his Raw debut was 13 months ago. They have tested him a bit beyond his level just recently, but it's a chance for him to learn things for the future. With the big stories kicking off leading up to WM30 he'll probably have to wait until the summer for more big matches now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
