Paid Members tiger_rick Posted October 27, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 27, 2019 Until Brock turns up, this is 30 seconds of the most appalling, embarrassing, campy shit you'll see with nursery school nativity level acting and the least convincing medic in history. Then Lesnar walks in, smacks them with a dustbin, hits an amazing F5 into the wall and then honest to fuck F5s Cain onto Dominic and it's so brilliant and utterly hilarious. Brock's the face, right?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted October 27, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 27, 2019 The doctor was awful, like he didn’t have a clue what to do so just did the old ‘where does it hurt?’ line.  Cain needs to move away from Mysterio if he actually wants to make a career of this, otherwise he will be dancing around with a hat on his head like a 2019 Kurgan within 4 months.

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted October 28, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 28, 2019 Brock attacking the hospital after assaulting Rey's son earlier was awesome, it was like the Terminator. I liked Shorty G's attire (except the arm things), I preferred him with a singlet, long hair and a headband but this is better than short hair and trunks. He's a plucky babyface with a stupid name who's aimed at kids so they might as well go all in on it, at least he stands out. I love Baron Corbin, I'm glad they persevered through his go away heat phase. He was great in that segment with the Rock and when he faced up to Hogan for a sec I was wishing they could have a match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Honestly I'm torn with the Shorty G thing. I've wanted him to get a push for ages so I'm glad he's actually getting used now, even if it's fucking ridiculous. Will it turn into something better? Hopefully. Even though he appealed to the NXT crowd, he never really had a chance on the main roster as a singles guy. I never really felt like the crowds got behind him, although that's probably because they were never given anything to get behind. He wouldn't be the first guy to make it through a shitty gimmick and come out the other end as a star. I'm really hoping this is one of those situations.

King Pitcos Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 The name and gimmick is one that’s always going to rile up the Internet when given to someone with loads of internet points, but it’s got plenty of potential to work - the death of it will be when Vince gets bored of it and Gable goes back to where he was before King of the Ring.

DCW Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) Aye, it will go the same way as Andrade's push, Rusev's push, Ali's push etc. Will fizzle out after a few weeks and normal service will resume. Cole on commentary will still make the odd nod to how the gimmick was formed, but nothing will be heard from Gable himself.

Love-Wilcox Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019  Oh my. Fox can’t be too pleased with that. Isn’t that less than AEW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted October 28, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 28, 2019 It was moved to FS1 on Friday as the World Series of America was on Fox but that's still petty appalling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 It was expected surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) On the subject of ratings (taken from wrestlingobserver), last weeks Raw only had 3,000 viewers in the UK (down from 38,000 the week before and 48,000 the week before that).

AdamTH17 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 They must've known the numbers were going to take a knock, but that's a 63% drop of viewers that simply haven't followed them from one FOX station to the other. I don't know how heavily they promoted the different station, but that's a really morbid statistic however you try and spin it. But remember lads - marathon, not a sprint!

Yakashi Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 It’s not really the number that’s bad. It’s that so many people didn’t care enough about the show to watch it on another channel or research why it wasn’t on the channel they thought it would be. It just shows the audience doesn’t give a fuck anymore and mostly watch just because it’s there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a typo or have they genuinely lost 45,000 viewers in 2 weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
