Lemon Juice Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Reigns Vs Rusev on Smackdown? Why give a potential PPV match like that away just for the hell of it.
Hounds Of Justice Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 They already had them wrestle on Smackdown a month or so a go, was thinking the same when they did that match.
Slapnut Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 They gave away an actual PPV match 6 days before the show this week. I doubt a potential PPV match is going to cost them any sleep.
Lemon Juice Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I was thinking more along the lines of holding back on these two being in the ring together and building a programme around them. Of course when they eventually do this WWE will make it look like it's their first encounter.
Lemon Juice Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Got a horrible feeling that Paige will drop the title to Nikki tomorrow night just to set up Nikki Vs Brie for HIAC. I really think that Paige is like a breath of fresh air to the Divas division. Speaking of the Bella's anyone else noticed how WWE fail to mention about their past feud? Once again WWE is trying to convince people that it's a first. This NOC PPV will be the last ever PPV to air on Sky Sports. It's like an end of an era in a way.

Undefeated Steak Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 The PPV's still a long way off but I'd love to see a NXT Elimination Chamber match.
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted September 20, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 20, 2014 Once again WWE is trying to convince people that it's a first. I really don’t get what your problem with that is? It’s hardly going to sell a match by saying, “Oh, they’ve fought before.” Brock Lesnar and John Cena had fought before SummerSlam this year, but WWE did a good job of making it look like a fresh match and a must-watch. I dare say if WWE had said they had fought before you’d have gone, “Oh, way to sell a match, WWE!” Just enjoy it. WWE would need a constantly revolving roster for every match to be a first.
Undefeated Steak Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) WWE would need a constantly revolving roster for every match to be a first. Going off on a slight tangent here but I think this is definitely another problem for WWE these days. Wrestlers being around for 10+ years is the norm whereas pre-2000 you'd have wrestlers on the roster for less than half that which meant that you didn't see the same matches rehashed year after year. I remember one of the key reasons why they ended the Raw/Smackdown brand split was because they didn't have enough star power. I think they've got enough to split the two again now. It may remedy the situation somewhat? Edited September 20, 2014 by Undefeated Steak
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 They've got enough wrestlers, but I wouldn't say there's a lot of star power. Cena, Orton, Reigns and the part-time Lesnar. Rollins and Ambrose are on their way up too. Besides that, a lot of wrestlers are pretty faceless, despite being technically good (Cesaro, Sheamus etc.)
WyattSheepMask Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Speaking of the Bella's anyone else noticed how WWE fail to mention about their past feud? Once again WWE is trying to convince people that it's a first. It's not about 'convincing' people it's a first, it's about making it feel like a match that needs to be seen. Can you imagine if they built up the match between Matt and Jeff Hardy at WM25, only to then say "oh by the way, this happened in 2000 as well". Edited September 20, 2014 by WyattSheepMask
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted September 21, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 21, 2014 Watching WWE for the first time in ages (WWE Superstars on Sky) and can’t believe crowds are still chanting “WHAT?!” after over ten years. Stone Cold only used that catchphrase for about a year during and just after the Alliance storyline, didn’t he?

Paid Members Statto Posted September 21, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 21, 2014 Damien Sandow as The Miz's stunt double is a great idea - much better than the random dress-up gimmick Sandow was doing (for no explained reason that I recall), there's plenty of opportunity for laughs, and Miz's character is perfect for the addition of a patsy/second/interference guy. What I don't like is the name. Why is he called "Damien Mizdow"? Why would a stunt double put the name of the actor he's doubling for into his own name? Makes no sense.
Fanny Pack Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Im also enjoying Sandow as sidekick, reminds of when Miz had Riley during his title run which was his best work in WWE. Hoping the split leads to Sandow as a comedic face which would fill the void left by Santino.
