Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted June 26, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 26, 2019 Before Kushida uses his Back to the Future gimmick, soured on by aging superhero Vince McMahon who wants to destroy Brock himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted July 1, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 1, 2019 Catching up, I love these blink-and-you’ll-miss-them appearances of the Firefly Funhouse puppets backstage. Genuinely cool idea. Everything about Bray’s new character and return to TV has been the one shining light since Wrestlemania. Whilst everything else is turning to shit, Bray has somehow managed to create something totally different to what they normally do, with time for it to breathe and develop. I’m terrified for when he inevitably makes it to TV and gets boiled down to being one-note. Written by someone with a bit of imagination and ambition this new character could be incredible.

DCW Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I don't know how it can translate to TV. It'll end up as a crap, no explanation Balor type monster the odd time and Wyatt delivering the 'Yowie Wowie' type promos twice a week until people are sick to death of it, like his first gimmick.

The 24/7 belt is good as well. But yeah, I’m gonna be very pleasantly surprised if Bray’s new character translates to wrestling any better than his original character did. I could see it being even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted July 1, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 1, 2019 Is tonight the first Heyman influenced show or does that not start yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalversicolor Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I think so, in the sense that both Bischoff and Heyman are in those roles now, but I doubt we'll see any significant changes at this early point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 1, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 1, 2019 yeh wasnt it announced that Bischoff would be on Smackdown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP RULZ Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hopefully we can get some sort of end to the Wildcard rule tonight Having Raws Samoa Joe as the Challenger to Smackdowns WWE title makes it tough to do it immediately but at least some form of announcement that the night after Extreme Rules everything is reset to seperate brands again would at least get some closure to the wildcard rules. Interesting to see how this all works as the original announcement seemed to suggest neither Heymans (outside of his Brock work) or Bischoffs roles would be on screen so not sure why they are appearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 It's likely tonight, Shane Helms said they're splitting the the production teams in to two at the start of July. He said he'll probably be going to RAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Have not watched a full Raw since 2017 but don't know what people are seeing in this Wyatt shtick. I totally understood the appeal of the original Wyatt vignettes and think that character has got to go down as one of their biggest missed opportunities ever, and they did it quicker than I remembered too, rewatched the show he debuted at a few months back and debuting in an inferno match against Kane was a bad omen in retrospect, they soon just made him a supernatural wanker. This though I just don't understand, it just comes off as one last desperate grasp at relevance. He's putting his all into it, but he always has with everything, it didn't matter. I'll be astounded if after missing the original slam dunk, they get anything significantly good out of this. I did enjoy the mask maker's account of Bray texting him to say "we did it. we changed wrestling forever.", though. Is it sad or inspiring that he still has an iota of faith?
