Given the way they've booked him recently, that's the best use of him. I'd rather see vids of him training or talking about his background to build him up. Everything is better outside of the in-ring promo for most guys but especially Naka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted February 14, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 14, 2018 Has Becky Lynch done something to hack off the top brass? She's gone from the first female draft pick, first SD champion and pivotal in the turnaround of the division to now being a cursory afterthought for the majority of the last year or so. I know they've been pushing a good few others, but as an overall performer and character, she's light years ahead of the majority of the division. It's such a waste as she's probably the most entertaining of the female division on social media and it's a shame to not utilise her personality in front of the crowds. Also, add me to those wholly not arsed about the 5-way at Fastlane. AJ was never going to lose, but having those two dunces involved now dilutes the Owens and Zayn storyline and it suggests they'll be in a multi-man at Mania. Saying that, if it's a choice between that or something with Shane, it's a blessing. EDIT: not fantasy booking by any stretch, but given it's a few weeks off until the PPV, you don't think they're going to do the 'well if Raw think they're the only one who can have an Elimination Chamber match' thing and have Shane insert himself into the match so they spend an hour doing stunts? It'd provide a bit more interest, but likely overkill having three EC matches in the space of a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 14, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 14, 2018 With 5 of their biggest names in the same match, the undercard is going to be completely passable isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted February 14, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 14, 2018 Tag Title Match, something involving the women's title, Orton vs Mahal vs Roode, 5 way for the title, then they only really need one more match for that, they could easily make the 5 way an elimination match to add time to it as well.

MVP RULZ Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 At a guess the card is probablyĀ looking like Roode vs Mahal vs Orton New Day vs Gable and Benjamin Usos vs Bludgeon Brothers Womens title Charlotte vs Ruby Riott??Ā WWE Title Stick the other 2 from riot squad vs Naomi and Becky Lynch as the preshow Maybe have Rusev vs Nakamura to fill time, though not sure how you get to that match butĀ can't see what else Nakamura can do other then come out at the end of the title match and point at the sign Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 14, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 14, 2018 That's 4 matches, you normally have 7 (plus 1 on the pre-show) for a PPV unless there is a big time-consuming gimmick match like a Survivor Series main event. I don't think the 5-way will go much longer than a standard match either. Ā edit: response to Shy Dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulance Chaser Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 New Day/Gable n Benjamin segment the worst of the year so far? They had a fight over a dropped pancake? just so I have it correct. I'm at a loss with Ziggler. an absolute loss, is he a heel still? Why does he keep saying he does the ring stuff better than anyone when he loses EVERY big match, and feud he's in. I don't get it, I don't get him and I don't get the booking.

Paid Members WeeAl Posted February 14, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 14, 2018 I liked the start of the show this week as it was completely against the usual pattern, and offered a bit of that 'anything can happen vibe'. Plus it meant that I didn't have to suffer through a Ziggler vs Corbin match.Ā I was a littleĀ dismayed though when Shane decided what he was going to do as a result of Owens and Zayn's action's. A tag match, between Ziggler/Corbin and Owens/Zayn looked the way to go (it would have kept Corbin and Ziggler confined to one match)Ā and the same stipulation could have been applied.

Years ago, he was a bit of a workrate pervert, but there are so many workers around that are more appealing in this respect. Those that fapped over Ziggler back in the day will fap far harder for the Styles, Nakamuras, Owens and Zayns of this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK Kat Von D Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Not impossible to assume that someone like Dunn would be rather out of touch and still hold men and women to different standards. However if it was the case sheād have never got a push to begin withĀ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you reckon there's any truth to that, or just Reddit chatter concluding this to be the case because he's they're new target man since Jonny Ace lost his power? Would Dunn have any say in creative? I always got the impression from Bruce that although he's the head honcho when it comes to production, he doesn't really have input in creative.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted February 14, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 14, 2018 Dunn has Vince's ear which means he can definitely influence creative if he tries to, I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
