Not sure about that. It wasn't subtle the way they turned Lashley with Rush being obnoxious but not sure if they'll turn Owens. I want him to be a baby but that should be a big time act, not a midcard feud with Lashley. I really like Balor and Becky together. I'd like to them develop that beyond the MMC because it makes both more interesting. Bella turn was coming given the rumours but was well done and served to piss of Ronda without harming her. Loved Morgan being fired up for the start of the 6 man. Don't see that enough these days. Liked the Conquistador angle. The backstage bit with Heath Slater was clever because it seemed obvious the Conquistador would be him. Until he hit the German. Kurt looked gassed backstage though after just that bit of effort. There's a real feel of desperation about the use of the old names on the shows. DX, Taker, Lita, Trish. It's very late WCW. With a story told right, it could feel massive having a legend return for another run but it just feels so gratuitous. And let's be fair, it is.

The Dart Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 One of the guys in that battle royal was (apparently) Flash Flanagan! Finally makes his main roster debut after 22 years in OVW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted October 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2018 He's not gone hungry in that time. I think he was better when he was lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted October 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2018 Great surprise to see Egotistico Fantastico in that battle royal! I thought he was going to be a break out indy star in 2009 and make his way towards WWE but, for whatever reason, he dropped the gimmick and shortly after that dropped off the face of the Earth it seemed. Ah well, a decade later and he's made it to the big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a twitter page called the local competitor and they name the jobbers that appear on raw/smackers/nxt. It was someone called Roy Flash Gordon not Flash Flanagan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted October 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2018 Upon further research, so he was. You’re correct. He was the fake Russian. He was also backstage at Smackdown earlier this year or last year. Reportedly Randy Orton was trying to get him a job as they’re old mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL Punk Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 With Micheals going back on his retirement after eight years, there is only one Wrestlemania match I want to see; HBK vs. Daniel Bryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 You know what I'd love? It's some bad booking or whatever but for Daniel Bryan to get his R.E.S.P.E.C.T match with his old trainer only to have AJ challenge him for the honour to wrestle HBK and then proceed to cheat to get the 'Mania match.

Paid Members Accident Prone Posted October 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2018 This is the third time Michaels has come out of retirement (you could even argue it's the 4th time if you buy the 'lost my smile' as a retirement of sorts). It's close to diminishing returns at this point. We always knew he'd be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
