RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I havenât seen any of Raw yet but I groaned seeing the caption on Twitter of Corbinâs âpromotionâ. I got wish one at Summerslam of Balor going Demon mode to beat the useless twat now Iâm hoping wish two happens and Kurt finishes the job. Also from what I can gather, it happened cos Steph ran her mouth on Rousey again and paid for it, so how was that Angleâs fault enough for him to be suspended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 21, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 21, 2018 Corbin crying that he prepared for "Fin Balor, The Man" and got the Demon is one of the worst bits of promo I've ever seen. The fadge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Vegas Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Absolutely bizarre booking once again. Braun says he wont go behind anyone's back and that he's openly saying he will cash in some point during or following the main event. Roman say's he isn't worried he's a fighting champion and he's ready for the challenge. Braun makes his way down as promised...Roman looks shocked...despite having been told well in advance that it would happen...and saying he was ready for it. Roman pins Balor having dominated the majority of the match and Braun say's he's cashing in...also as promised he doesn't attack anyone from behind and waits for Roman to be face to face with him. The SHIELD come out in a clearly pre-meditated plan as they're in full SHIELD regalia and Reigns smirks smugly in the knowledge that he's had had this sneaky plan all along and he's cheated Braun. All 3 then take part in a 3 on 1 beatdown of Braun...despite him having done absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever...and all 3 of them having been portrayed as faces for a long time. They then put him through a table and walk back laughing. If that's the beginning of a slow burn Roman heel turn then fine but we all know it isn't. How anyone could take from that version of events that Braun is a heel and Reigns is a face is absolutely beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted August 21, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 21, 2018 By the same token you've had Braun mercilessly bullying Kevin Owens and beating him up for the best part of 2 months for no real reason.  Because Wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 21, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 21, 2018 I started a thread on this before but the WWF/E have always booked babyfaces to be cunts, lame or lame cunts. Go back to Hogan scratching people's backs, raking eyes and crying about being thrown out of Rumbles when he always eliminated his "friends". In 95 and 96, Diesel and Shawn Michaels were complete wet lettuces. Undertaker was revealed to be a murderer. Austin and Rock treated everyone like pieces of shit, heel or babyface. It's never been any different. Right up to Charlotte these days glomming on her best mate's big opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got in the ring with the dirty cheating heel, beat him, went home. Great days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inconceivable! I'd be more surprised if Steph didn't put herself on the card. She has single handedly revolutionised Women's wrestling, after all.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 21, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Joking aside, it probably could do with a proper heel to break up the fourteen hours of communal fapping it will be otherwise. That's if she's a heel that day. Edited August 21, 2018 by tiger_rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DCW Posted August 21, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 21, 2018 Jesus, if you were Rollins you'd surely be pissed at turning heel just as you finally took off as a proper face, all to play second fiddle to bloody Reigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted August 21, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 21, 2018 I don't think I've ever done such a quick u-turn on a wrestler than Bruiser Ambrose. Pleasingly, he's changed up his style to accommodate how yoked he is. The Triple H promo was really good, and I'm quite excited by The Shield v Braun. It obviously would be better if The Shield were heels, but it's a decent way of getting some sympathy for Braun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make much difference does it? Interminable run with Ziggler and just having been re-burdened with the I title doesn't scream "on the cusp of getting put back in the main event." And from a wallet point of view they're about to sell another shitload of t-shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted August 21, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I reckon Seth would rather be in The Shield having boss 6-man matches at the top of the card than trading more wins with Ziggler. If they were ever going to capitalise on how over heâd gotten himself this year, theyâd have already done it. Heâd have been the one to, âsave,â the Universal Title from Brock at Summerslam. Wouldâve been awesome. But nah. All their talk about grabbing the brass ring is complete shit because Seth made himself the most over babyface on the roster and one of the best performers in the business and it didnât change his positioning or career trajectory whatsoever. Might as well put the flack jacket back on and make your money. I love Dean âHench,â Ambrose. The way he set up Dirty Deeds by chucking Ziggler in the air first was brilliant. I wonder if he can keep this physique now heâs on the road full time? They really need to do a vignette that explains that Finn Balor and The Demon are like Bruce Banner and The Hulk, where itâs not something he has control of and The Demon only comes out when heâs pushed to the edge. Without that clarification he looks like a complete goof not wrestling as The Demon every time. Never lost as The Demon, yet you donât break out the paint for your first Universal Title shot in years? Idiot!

King Pitcos Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Any attempt to explain and rationalise the Demon dress-up is only going to make him look more of a goof than ignoring it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
