Paid Members Gallybagger Posted January 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2017 Did anyone happen to catch the release date of Shawn Michaels new film? I don't think it was mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members stumobir Posted January 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2017 I know it was last week's episode but they ran it again and had a backstage segment referring it to, but why is whitemeat babyface Bayley using a distraction to beat Nia Jax then gloating about it backstage? Â Terrible booking. Â First episode I've tried to watch in months and I put it off during the Michaels segment, I thought it couldn't get any worse after the cruiserweight match but then that abomination happened. I can't believe people still watch 3 hours of that shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulance Chaser Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 That Michaels/Enzo + Cass and Rusev stuff was a real low point, terrible, so bad all around. Â Is it me or do none of these fuckers have any chemistry with each other, the whole roster is fucking up spots and stumbling and mumbling over promo's, I see people say this current crop are the best talent wise but to me they are a bit shit at Wrestling.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2017 They're wrestlers trying to be actors and failing. Then again, genuine actors would probably struggle to perform a different "play" live every night having picked up a script in the afternoon. Then you get moments like Charlotte saying Bayley couldn't "handle a candle" to her. Â They really need to reassess things and script those who are uncomfortable and let some of the others off the leash. The material and style are woeful. Â I find it hilariously bad so I don't mind as much as some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted January 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Has WWE ever invested in sending their talent to proper acting classes, or even invited a teacher backstage to help? Â Given the current lot, probably not, but it's the weirdest thing watching a wrestler playing wrestler while trying to remember their lines and forgetting the whole engaging element of any great public speaking. Personally, unless a proper star is cutting a promo I think I've skipped 95% of the promos this year because nobody really says anything interesting when I bother. Â Of course, the scripted promo can work wonders with someone that is comfortable reading lines in front of a large crowd. Sting being an example.

tony1234 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 It would be better to say nothing than continually mess up and look so wooden in the delivery of the promo. They really need to let those who can talk off the leash and those who can't give them things they can't trip up over.  At least we have Undertaker v Strowman at WM to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The unscripted backstage promos that they do with guys after their matches (like Owens and Jericho this week) are brilliant. They need to stop putting them on YouTube and have them on the actual show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2017 don't know why, but i felt inclined to watch the Noam Dar segment on youtube, even after the appalling one they did last week. This week's was just as bad if not worse, what the fuck are they thinking? Proper 'jump the shark' stuff for me, i think im gonna have to step away for a while.

Yakashi Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Stephanie Mcmahon is fucking loathsome. That's the perfect response they'd want, IF she followed it up with helping babyfaces. But she doesn't. Saying that, Dave Meltzer mentioned that Sasha had a big match scheduled for Mania. If it's not a three way with Charlotte and Bayley, it could be something with Steph. Or, of course, she just did it for the sake of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted January 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2017 Every single HBK segment since his retirement has been fucking shit. It's as though he lost every bit of promo ability he had the second he retired. It was a car crash segment and Enzo wasn't needed out there either - watching him painfully limp around the ring was embarrassing.  I did enjoy Braun vs Seth and the main event though. Would love Reigns to take the belt at the Rumble as Owens title run has been underwhelming.  Undertaker being in the Rumble is fine, but the thought of him vs Strowman at Mania doesn't excite me at all. And I like Strowman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I look forward to Stephanie beating Bayley in a competitive match. While the commentators swoon over how amazing she still is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I like Strowman. That's complete nonsense. The stuff he did during the build up to Triple H's matches with Taker and Brock was fantastic. Though it's easy to forget that a) he's been retired for seven years and there's a LOT of stuff he's done since then and b) that there was good stuff when it's in with rubbish like this.
