Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted November 17, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2015 Also, Reid Flair is someone who the WWE put footage on screen when Ric Flair was on a pannel (without warning) and Flair sobbed uncontrollably. Reid Flair dying in the manner he did (Ric found him dead, which is horrible) is such a raw thing for that family. Its not like Paul Bearer. Where the family knew and those who knew he knew that he'd have loved being in a main event angle after he died. This was a kid who we have no frame of reference to. It should never have made air.

Paid Members Benno Posted November 17, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) I'm definitely in the minority opinion that it was a good segment overall, thought Paige delivered some dodgy material really well, but I wouldn't begrudge those offended, completely understand that reaction. Â I mainly thought it was telling though how even in a moment like that where you should have real life compassion for Charlotte, there's something about her that's still so intensely unlikeable.

knightmare Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 To compare the two is fucking ridiculous read my previous post I believe it was discussed before hand and fuck me when has wrestling ever drawn a line there has been far worse over the years even I would not go near tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightmare Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Benno maybe on here you are minority but I have had messages from some big names in the business today praising the girls wrestling Is all about opinions people are entitled to their views that's what makes it great entertainment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Kat Von D Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I don't blame the girls or anything, but even if WWE didn't think to consult the mother surely Charlotte would have mentioned it to her before hand and given her some warning? I can imagine it would have been hard to watch, but at least with some warning she could have either prepared for it or just not watched it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) I don't think anyone is blaming the women for anything other than poor delivery. The issue that most seem to have is using the real life death of someone who didn't even make it past their mid 20s, seemingly without the permission of one of their family members, to garner some extremely cheap heat for a wrestling angle of which it has no reason to be mentioned Edited November 17, 2015 by WyattSheepMask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clint Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 It seems Lana had chimed in about it being tasteless on twitter but Paige responded by telling her to stop fishing for a storyline. Then Lana claimed Paige bullied her in NXT. Lana has since deleted the tweets. This is actually more interesting than her feud with Charlotte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted November 17, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) The lasses shouldn't get the blame. It was a bit all over the place though, terribly shoehorned. Paige or Charlotte could have surely said something about being uncomfortable with it. If either of them thought this idea was grand, then they are both a bit daft. You can bring reality into a storyline, but with one week you barely have the time to even process it. No buys. It also got lumped in the third hour as WWE have almost given up trying. They main evented, but it was circumstances because of that. Â Saying it's just wrestling is bollocks as well Ricky. I understand defending your daughter, who was clearly trying, but it was bollocks. Who were the big names? Â EDIT: Lana is the next Sable. She'll be suing them eventually and we'll get Rusev in PCW.

The Clint Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 It's annoying hearing them bang on about 25 years of The Undertaker at Survivor Series and all they could be arsed to serve up at the PPV is a shit sandwich of a tag match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 17, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Paige or Charlotte could have surely said something about being uncomfortable with it.You dare not speak up against anything, Vince on Austin's podcast himself pretty much gave that impression (shortly after also claiming nobody was stepping up to grab that brass ring). I don't think anyone will complain about what material they're given and they'll just get on with it. To be honest, aside from the needless insensitive comment I thought it was a good skit in itself. Actually piqued my interest for their match. Edited November 17, 2015 by PunkStep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted November 17, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2015 That Reigns/Cesaro match was the dogs bollocks. That was a proper match that. Cena, Owens, Rollins and Ziggler have kind of turned WWE this year somewhat into the "big move kickout big move kickout" style of matches. Reigns and Cesaro though have put on endless cracking matches all year however. In-ring they are the two stand outs.  Ziggler/Ambrose is the first Ambrose match I've liked in ages for similar reasons. Mat wrestling and psychology. Great stuff.

Jackpot Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 It's amazing that they open the show, showing respect to those who died in Paris and end it by showing no respect to the son of one of their all time greats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVM Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 That discussion that went on before hand should have ended with nixing that comment being made in the promo. Yes, it's wrestling, but there are places to draw the line- I don't blame Paige for this by the way, more whoever decided it was acceptable to throw that line in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Have only got round to seeing the opener but, damn, Neville v Owens was one hell of a match.I was thinking Neville might take it on more than one occassion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
