Factotum Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Brock looks like a fucking superstar. What a guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members GlennCullen Posted September 13, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 13, 2021 Bringing in Trae Young to troll MSG, again, is a level of awareness you don't usually get from this company. Show was very solid, Brock was superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted September 18, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) Unsurprisingly, they couldn’t keep the momentum going. This was a mostly dull show that felt like they just clicked auto-fill on their show generator. Match doesn’t happen because the heel attacks the babyface during the entrance. Nakamura vs. Apollo for the millionth time. Roman and Heyman cutting the same promo they’ve cut for about six months. Home town hero is left lying for HEAT. Of course. The most note worthy thing was Toni Storm reappearing. After vanishing for weeks, this is what she comes back with. “Wild Child of the 80s.” Even by their standards of crap, one-note characters, and Michael Cole’s standard for wooden, lifeless delivery, him describing Toni on this show needs to be heard to be believed. “The wild child of the eighties…when she was growing up her mum would listen to eighties music…and…Toni…liked it.” Brilliant. Usos and Roman vs. New Day announced for Raw though. That should be great. I was convinced they’d save that until Survivor Series. Demo Wars delivers again.

Is that really what they said? That makes no fucking sense. So if I listen to shitloads of Glenn Miller Orchestra does that make me a wild child of the 40s despite being born in the mid 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted September 18, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 18, 2021 It reminded me of Peyton Royce’s story of chatting to Vince McMahon when creative had nothing for her. He asked what she enjoyed doing, she said she was boring and just sat at home with the dogs, and was sacked soon after. Poor Toni probably got the exact same treatment, panicked, and said she was just listening to Dexys Midnight Runners on Spotify. “Wild Child of the 80s!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCW Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Up watching the BT highlights for some reason. Balor had a decent little promo/segment backstage where he said who his family are compared to Reigns, how he should never have made it this far but he has cos of the fire inside him and who Roman will face at Extreme Rules (The Demon) has even hotter fires burning inside him. Twas a grand little segment with Finn looking cool in his leather jacket, which was then ruined by them badly CGI'ing the demon face onto Balor to wrap it up. Just needlessly over produced shite.

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted September 26, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 I can live without Cole shouting "The Demon" every four seconds when Balor is on screen. Genuinely all I remember from Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted September 26, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 The commentator on Match Of The Day last night screaming "Michail Antonio FOR THE WIN" is the most I've thought about Michael Cole in months.

Paid Members Lenin Posted September 26, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 The card for Extreme Rules this evening is further evidence of WWE's problems as the winners of each bout are pretty much nailed on. Consequently, there's zero interest/buzz around the product and you don't miss much if you watch it or not. One of the folks at work compared the WWE to the Australian day time soap 'Neighbours' as you can tune out for a week's at a time, tune back in and it's the same general plodding storyline for storyline sake. AEW has been brilliant for the unpredictability and the fact that their story arcs cover months at a time so you need to tune in regularly to keep a handle on things. WWE have telegraphed the result of the Reigns/Demon match by booking Lesnar/Reigns for the title in October. Damien Priest is retaining the belt via pinfall on Jeff Hardy. As great as Reigns and smackdown has been over the last wee while, outside of Reigns there are no other stars, no other potential challengers that we've seen develop over 12-18 months and no "big names" due to sign for them.

RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 They've booked the Reigns/Lesnar match but the narrative has been the title is on the line only if Reigns beats Balor and tbh they don't really need the title to sell the match, let Finn have the run he never got with the Universal belt through to the December PPV or the Rumble and put the belt back on Reigns to do the inevitable Rock match at Mania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
