Paid Members LaGoosh Posted April 27, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 27, 2019 Iconics are fucking great. Proper annoying heels the roster has been missing dearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted April 27, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 27, 2019 As characters, you can't knock the Iconics. Billie Kay in the ring, on live TV though? Jesus Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted April 27, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 27, 2019 More than half the women's roster are crap in the ring, that's being generous too. Billie's a tremendous entertainer, the funniest promo on the show. That's way more important to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Yeah there are too many good 'wrestlers' that have no character or anything about them. It's nice to have some entertainment. Ideally they'd be both but that's just being picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll make for a highly entertaining midcard feud with some clean babyface though, like Styles or someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCW Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 If his thing is hating the fans for being critical twats, he should actively be doing his best to avoid wrestling every week, cos the fans don't deserve him putting his body on the line etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinlocks. Nothing but chinlocks. Give them no reason to cheer him. If he goes and wrestles like he normally does with this new character it won't work as well.

He'd quickly climb the ropes where his opponent was seated, you'd think he would hit his trademark hurricanrana from the top, but instead applies a top rope headlock whilst shouting "WA-HEY!". Heel Jonny was bloody ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted April 27, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 27, 2019 I'd love to see a heel pull that kind of routine with today's Raw audiences. Would be great for Sami. Think the heat would be tremendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont see what people see in them, everytime they come out they look like they are boring the live crowd to tears. Bobby Lashley gets more of a reaction when he speaks. Roode, Zayn & (hopefully) the new Wyatt look great though. Do we think Bray is going to be face/heel when he comes back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpo Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Love Seth Rollins' reaction (skip to 1:03, just waffle beforehand), you can tell the wrestlers themselves must be excited when they see something fresh happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's a title match its like the bloke never wins.  I heard a discussion about this on a podcast recently (possibly Meltzer, my memory is shocking) that being a champion used to be something that WWE could promise a disgruntled talent they wanted to keep as it would mean winning all the time or at the very least being protected in some way but now talent who are unhappy actively DONT want to be promised a title reign because WWE book them to lose more than virtually anyone else on the roster these days.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 30, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 30, 2019 There was a show this week. Not much more to say really. Fun house wasn't as fun the second week. Sami Zayn's delivery was great again but no-one cares. Crowd seemed hot for the start but died quickly. Don't blame them. The "I'm here on Raw" stuff from people who've been on Raw a million times is tedious. MITB is three weeks away and they're filling. Every week is filling. I don't know how you solve that with so much TV. I feel sorry for the writers most weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
