bono Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Reigns and cena could have at least rushed to help ambrose. Â I was thinking the same thing.

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted July 15, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted July 15, 2014 A lot of things seem to be clicking with the crowd, at the minute. The fans have been into all sorts, which makes the product feel a bit more relevant than it is. Â This Rusev v Real Americans storyline is an absolutely belting jingoistic wrestling story. Of course, Lana and Rusev are perfect, but the addition of Zeb Colter and that music is wonderful. Not so much a fan of Swagger, but they sort of keep him out of it until things need to get physical. Can't wait until Lana and Rusev get to mix it up with the main eventers. They must be well chuffed with how all that went. Â Can't do justice to how excited I got during that Sting clip. Such a great job they did with that. The reaction to it was funny too, with people losing their mind when they realised it was Sting, only to boo as soon as they saw it was for the video game. Â Stardust and Goldust is bloody mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShowOff Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Jericho was great. People expected lame comedy insults at Wyatt, but instead, he treated him as a serious threat. I liked the promo where he went through his history of seen it all / done it all only to say he has never seen anybody like Wyatt. This is where the likes of Jericho and RVD can be used to perfection, by putting arising talent over on the big stage. It's no different to how Jimmy Snuka was used in the early 90's.

d-d-d-dAz Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Is it right they aired a CM Punk promo vid? Â Between that and chucking the belt straight back on the wife, anyone would think they were trying to woo him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum1993 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 They aired a preview to that DVD they released a few years back because it's airing on the Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUM Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Reigns and cena could have at least rushed to help ambrose. Â Was thinking this at the time, it went on forever and it never even showed you Reigns or Cena again. Â I absolutely love Stardust, I hope this ends up a long term gimmick change as opposed to using it as a way to split the team up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSF Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 They could have him undefeated until Bryan comes back. Bo in the ring talking about by how he's undefeated and you can be to if you BOlieve etc then Daniel Bryan comes back and beats him. Â I'd rather Bo get to 21-Bo, then get destroyed by Brock Lesnar, leaving Bo at 21-1 Â "My client Brock Lesnar beat Bo Dallas' undefeated streak". Â If this doesn't happen I'll be pissed off!

Mr Butternut Squash Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 The Ambrose/Cena/Reigns thing and the fake Rollins injury angle is idiotic. What's going on there? Ambrose/Rollins which was a hot feud feels like a complete afterthought going into Battleground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted July 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2014 I thought it was a lame show after a couple of great weeks. Did nothing to make the PPV anymore interesting and didn't deliver the six man tag I said would be great last week. Â Two positives. Dean Ambrose was fucking ace in that beat down segment. "Is that all you guys have got?" after a massive arse kicking was super cool. Agree on Cena & Reigns though, I was sat wondering why they weren't at least trying to find them. Â Rusev/Swagger exchange was superb. Can't remember enjoying many of these staged things but this one was great. Lana did a grand job of setting the stage and then Zeb responded like only he can. The little scuffle was worked well and this was the one match on the PPV that was enhanced on the show. Swagger's commitment to "We the people" is always great. Â Not too many mid-card feuds feel consequential these days so hopefully Rusev cheats to win on Sunday and then they have a gimmick re-match at SummerSlam. Maybe in a cage. Â Bo Dalls was fun again, Miz's new gimmick is catching with me and Paul Heyman's short appearance whet the appetite for Lesnar. Otherwise the show was dreary with too many matches chucked out there between Battle Royal entrants with nothing riding on them. The last two weeks have been well paced. This was a good one hour show in three hours. Â Openly begging people to sample the Network for free for one hour was odd wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 And he posted a "thank you" to fans on Twitter. He's been radio silent as his contract was going down, hasn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cutting Edge Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I agree about Cena and Reigns not helping Dean, I'd have them rum backstage but cant find him to help since the shield did promos from boiler rooms etc least the crowd would/might get behind them trying to find him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Does anyone else think that they've stumbled onto something with this Swagger face turn? I know it's designed to give someone to feed to Rusev, but the crowd were explosively into the whole thing, and all the participants are playing it so well that Swagger's starting to feel important. Â How you book the rest of this feud to make them BOTH come out bigger, I don't know but it feels like a bit of a shame to sacrifice what could potentially be the best use of Swagger ever. The Patriot lock suddenly looks like a main event finisher again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 16, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 16, 2014 Fuck Swagger. Rusev Crush. Â Seriously though, it's nice they've found a good way to use him at the moment but I still don't see any real potential in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
