The King of Old School Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Anyone else see Becky's instagram story where she turns a segment from the Simpsons (the classic Frank Grime episode) into one that revolves around her and the WWE? It really is superb, I can't post a link at the minute but it should be able to be found quite easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted November 30, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted November 30, 2018 Just watched the Jeff Hardy video from this week’s episode. Well worth a trip to WWE.com if you haven’t seen it yet - the kind of video that WWE do so well, but not often enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Agreed. They have the power to make anyone look like an absolute superstar with video packages. It's absolutely crazy they don't do more of them, especially with debuting stars. It's such an easy and quick win for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted November 30, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 30, 2018 If the SmackDown half of TLC is going to be Bryan v AJ, Becky v Charlotte v Asuka, Hardy v Joe and Rey v Orton... well, that's so good I nearly forgot all PPV are cross-brand.

It's more difficult to do it for newbies than it is with the likes of Jeff Hardy though, who we've grown up watching and have all the nostalgia for. It's like having two no-names do the Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels match. Even if the execution and pacing is spot-on, the history isn't there so it comes off hollow.

DavidB6937 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Agreed that it wouldn't have the depth of something like that BUT it's better to have something than nothing I believe. Whether it's a character vignette or interview or highlights from NXT or something like that. At least it gives the audience some reason to care.

boytoy Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Daniel Bryan killing it again on Smackers, how is this even the same company? Fascinating that the Ambrose and Bryan turns have happened at roughly the same time on opposite shows but one is being executed so much better than the other.

Paid Members WeeAl Posted December 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 5, 2018 Daniel Bryan was fantastically hateable on this week's show. Brilliant episode of SmackDown this week. I reckon the new Daniel Bryan Vs Rey Mysterio for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania could be a blinder. I hope that's what they go with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted December 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 5, 2018 It's remarkable how one bad episode crept in because the "throw the toys out, here's your new direction" came down after Bryan pulled out of Crown Jewel/Becky got hurt so things kind of crashed, but once the writers knew where they were pointed, good episodes of telly to get there started happening again. Fuck Raw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted December 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 5, 2018 Poor Tomasso Ciampa. He was a shoe-in for heel of the year across the board. The last thing anyone would’ve predicted was Daniel Bryan swooping in and stealing it. Unbelievable turn of events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Butternut Squash Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Bryan is spectacular. It’s so simple  what he’s doing too. Love that he’s adding new stuff to his arsenal to put the turn an new character over the top. The beat down was savage and Styles selling was fantastic, even the commentary was good. Bryan jumping Styles again as they went off air instead of standing around posing made it feel wild. Great episode of Smackdown again.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I'd happily watch Bryan wrestle random people from the roster every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good god yes the opener was fantastic. THAT’S how you can utilise the 205 guys not the ridiculous stuff raw is pulling every week. A fresh face in Ali is given just enough shine while the New Daniel Bryan gets to show his authority as champ and get his new shit over. It’s win win. It’s a shame the ad breaks gutted the match a bit. The rap battle was fun. The thing I love about these guys is they can do comedy, they can smash pumpkins on eachothers heads and any other goofy shit they like never lose their credibility. Their matches speak for themselves. I think the Bar has helped Cesaro tremendously with injecting him with character. It would be nice to have some other faces in the tag division soon though. As good as Smackdown is those same WWE quirks still bug me. AJ got destroyed last week, why the fuck is he not after Bryan’s blood? They didn’t even need to get physical, just have him run Bryan off instead of letting him give Ali the same post match beating he gave him last week. Why the hell has The Man not been on colour commentary? I think they could have done more to roll with Becky since her return, maybe it's the fanboy in me . Credit to Charlotte though, she’s outshined her three weeks running. It’s great how they’ve built Charlotte and Asuka back up to be fair. Cool image of Asuka standing tall to go home on and Lynch dangling over the table was pretty funny. Las Vegas crowd were poor all night.   Edited December 12, 2018 by Mr Butternut Squash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mole Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Charlotte Flair is a great women's wrestler, can do most styles, strong athletic etc, I would say she works well in most gimmick matches I've seen her in, maybe her dad got her in the door but she's very well rounded, can talk, not to Becky or Alexa levels and wrestle, Banks & Asuka are probably better and I'm glad they are embracing the booes, she's a better heel. I would say she would be a good leader of a faction but Becky doesn't need her and Bailey doesn't suit what should be a heel group.if they want to do that silly 4 horsewomen thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
