Snitsky's back acne Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I like the Solo/Tama development, personally. It makes sense (the younger generation trying to usurp their elders) and at least means WWE is intent on building new people. I'm interested to see where they go with it.

Paid Members air_raid Posted April 13 Paid Members Share Posted April 13 Gotta do something while Roman and Rock are away. Cody vs AJ will at least sound more like a main than Priest vs Jey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted April 13 Paid Members Share Posted April 13 I know there’s a difference between real age and WWE TV age, but it’s still funny Tama Tonga is considered the younger generation when he’s three years older than Roman Reigns. Also, I don’t really want to spoil anything for anyone, but Tama Tonga is rubbish. Do not get your hopes up. Plus, no video package for him, so obviously the worst thing ever. How are we supposed to know who he is?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted April 13 Paid Members Share Posted April 13 If anyone fancies getting their “good in Japan” trope ready, he was good in a tag where the whole was definitely greater than the sum of its parts - like Gallows & Anderson, really - and while reports of some of his singles matches being decent weren’t complete lies, they were similar to the best of Bernard/Tensai. You knew you’d watched a decent match but where the other guy had far more to do with it turning out that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you're doing here, and it's hilarious that you're still rattled by those criticisms, but the serious answer is that you're not supposed to show video packages for surprise debuts. The commentators reacted according and were quick to explain to the audience that Tama is the son of Haku. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRooster Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 58 minutes ago, TheScarlettChad said: The beat down was great business I thought. Heyman screaming and implying Roman doesn't want this? Heel Rock vs Face Roman it is then. Yeah, this is surely where it’s all heading - I don’t mind them slowly building to the reveal of Rock masterminding the ‘new’ Bloodline, or whatever it ends up being called. I’m all for heel Rock vs face Roman. Perhaps I’m in the minority, but a Reigns/Usos vs Solo/Tonga/Jacob Fatu match definitely interests me, if it’s the precursor to Rock revealing himself as the mastermind behind all of this. 1 hour ago, DavidB6937 said: Blah blah Bloodline blah blah NO. TIFFY TIME. Again, I reckon I’m in the minority - but am I the only person on here that finds the Stratton character massively irritating? She’s tremendous in ring; but the gimmick really grates on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyUK Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Cody v AJ should be fun, don't believe they've ever faced each other have they? Makes sense to keep the Bloodline going for an eventual Rock v Roman feud at least, and you can get a Roman v Solo match out of things before then too.

No. A four month spell in 2016 in WWE is the only time they were working in the same place and AJ and Stardust did not cross paths at that time.

This was not If you don’t know the reference Reveal hidden contents Cody has a tendency to drop in references that whistle past people's head. Again, I preface this by saying that I loved his return and am delighted he finished his story, but he is a bizarre alien of a man, who's nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is. I think the root of so much of his act is the alien impulse to imitate the humans he admires, and copy the sort of thing he thinks big stars do; wear the suit (but get it slightly wrong by being OTT), get tattoos (but get it slightly wrong by being OTT) and talk with intelligence (but get it slightly wrong by being OTT). I think the insider references fit in the same bracket, as it's a well worn trope in wrestling, but he goes a bit too deep, a bit too niche and no one really gets it. I still haven't unclenched from his oblique Bullet Club reference the other week that no one got. Something to do with cufflinks. Still... WOAAAA-OOAAAAHHHH!!

His justification was that loses have consequences. He’s had 24 matches in 2024. Drawn 1, lost 23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted April 13 Paid Members Share Posted April 13 The casting out of Jimmy also surely points towards an eventual Usos reconciliation and long game, Roman & Usos vs Bloodline black n white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
