Paid Members tiger_rick Posted December 3, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 3, 2019 I watched the highlights. Immediate disappointment in the follow up to the Rollins stuff last week. Can't think of anything else of any relevance that happened. Rusev run in was OK but a retread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamaras-Tash Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Lana has to be up there with one of the worst on screen talents ever, utterly abysmal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted December 3, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 3, 2019 Didn’t even realise this was round the corner. Maybe they’ll remember next week. Was there any hints on the show about any Raw matches on the ppv other than the obvious route of Owens vs Rollins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum1993 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Orton vs Styles I assume? Rusev vs Lashley? Rumours were of Becky and Charlotte vs The Kabuki Warriors in a TLC match so that could happen possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling they are building towards a ladder match for the us title. Also looks like rusev/lashley, black/murphy, charlotte/asuka (or a tag match with Lynch).

DCW Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Styles needs to get away from Gallows/Anderson quickly, they are an awful dull combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted December 3, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 3, 2019 At the beginning of the year, I never could've imagined my two favourite commentators would be Tony Schiavone and Samoa Joe. It'll be a shame when they beat it out of Joe, but for now he's brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Butternut Squash Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Absolutely love Samoa Joe on commentary. Such a relief to have a calm, credible, genuinely funny guy doing heel colour rather than some screaming ego. Might be my favourite WWE commentator in decades. Love Drew inheriting WALTER’S deadly chops. Him and Orton together has been gold. Looks like the two of them are having a right laugh. Drew could start feeling like a main eventer again if they carry on. Kabuki Warriors/Charlotte was really good, especially when Kairi wasn’t in there. Best Charlotte’s looked in ages. The last month of lazy, illogical booking has really fucked them over though. Eric Young as the scrappy undercard guy was a pleasant surprise and I like that they’re adding wrinkles to AOP’s characters. Things seem to get worse by the week for Ricochet. Him coming out to save his best mate Randy Orton (who couldn’t give a shit about him) to zero pop, only to get beat down by the O.C without getting a single bit of offence in. . . it felt like a parody on modern WWE babyfaces. Then he loses again at the end of the night. Super heroes are, in fact, real. Edited December 4, 2019 by Mr Butternut Squash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted December 4, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR7W-jFomc4 It wont embed for some reason but this was by far the most interesting thing to come out of Monday and they didn't even show it on TV, Becky Lynch talking about her, "one last debt," she wants to collect. I'll spunk everywhere if it's Ronda one-on-one. Also, shout out to Jerry Lawler's tribute to Jim Cornette and Jim Ross, attempting to do Asuka's accent at 01:20 of this clip. Â It's been a good week for stupid old bastards letting pseudo racist bollocks slip out. Edited December 4, 2019 by Supremo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted December 4, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 4, 2019 What a disappointment! Oh well, it's not all bad. Much like with Daniel Bryan a year ago, turning Asuka and Kairi heel despite how insanely miscast they are for that role has still injected a huge amount of life into them. It'll never be ridiculous that Kairi Sane is a baddie but if it means they're at the top of the division actually doing stuff with Becky and Charlotte then I'm all for it. Those four are leaps and bounds ahead of the dead Smackdown division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I was quite looking forward to the Rollins turn but fuck whoever wrote that. Absolutely shit way of doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted December 10, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) I quite liked the Seth thing. It's a complete knock-off of Bret Hart in 97 and it's fucking criminal they're doing it now with Rolins rather than with Roman Reigns a few years ago, but still. Good stuff. Makes a change for them to actually listen to their audience and for someone to turn heel and have a proper reason behind it rather than the usual, "the WWE Universe doesn't deserve an explanation!" shit. I hope Seth smashes it as a heel so that we see more of this going forward. Edited December 10, 2019 by Supremo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather they did that turn in front of the live crowd than backstage, for example. It just felt like it weakened the impact a bit, although maybe the crowd were just shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
