StrongStyle Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Apologies if this has already come up in discussion before. Is there a new push from management to make sure that wrestlers wear their merch throughout their matches on house shows? It only just occurred to me that AJ Styles, Dolph Ziggler and several other guys wore their t-shirt the whole time on a recent house show in Glasgow. Was reminded by seeing this picture: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 If it's just on house shows I don't think it really matters. People see a guy wearing their shirt in the match then go buy it after the show or during the interval or whatever, just helps them shift some extra merch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted June 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 20, 2017 Great comment from Big Show on Jericho's podcast on what it's like at Raw or Smackdown these days: "I hate it. You spend all day waiting around doing nothing, debating and arguing what you're going to do with about 17 different people who have input and have 17 different opinions and the idea you end up doing always absolutely sucks."

Merzbow Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I do like how Big Show's not afraid to call out the WWE on their shit creative, he gave no fucks on the Austin podcast on the network either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrasslin Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Meh we've all seen worse. It has its place in the world even its not necessarily my bag. Thing is they do that in front of some crowds it'll get a "this is awesome" chant. Which rightly or wrongly is what a lot of wrestlers are after now.

Daaaaaad! Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I can understand people getting mad at that Ricochet/Ospreay rope spring somersault spot more than that clip. I'm not a huge indie flip fan, but that looked like a fairly logical sequence to me tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Arn Anderson's Darb Posted June 22, 2017 Members Share Posted June 22, 2017 The Ricochet one with the synchronized backflips and end pose was far worse. Like a Diversity routine in a ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) Yeah don't see what's especially wrong with that clip. I actually saw a worse sequence than the Ricochet one at the start of Ospreay v Scurll v Dragon Lee at the start of last year's ROH Final Battle. The match was ace eventually but the whole missed move, standoff pose thing at the beginning must have been the worst I've ever seen. Nothing looked like an attempt at offense Edited June 22, 2017 by sj5522 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) This weekend it's been ten years since the Benoit thing. Somehow to me that seems like a lifetime ago but also feels like that decade has flown by. Edited June 23, 2017 by wandshogun09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulance Chaser Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Fucking ridiculous video. I think topped off when Sydal fucking celebrates when they close the sequence, like "YES, WILL WE FUCKING PULLED IT OFF" like a gymnast or high board diver that knows they have a 9 from the judges in the bag. Ospreay is the worst Wrestler alive, cunt should carry a pommel horse round with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted June 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2017 I hate the sequence, but I think Sydal celebrating was more 'yes, I've finally got the cunt down!' than celebrating their shitty little spot-fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
