Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator 3,479 Posted July 25, 2020 Awards Moderator Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, LWOLeN said: ‘You may know Tony from 205 Live....’ Michael Cole sure knows how to put talent over... They narrowly made it seem like Riddle just beat a random jobber. Newsflash: Tony Nese is a 15 year veteran and after winning the Cruiserweight Nr.1 contender Tournament he went on to win the WWE Cruiserweight Championship in front of a sellout crowd of 88.000 at WrestleMania last year. Tony Nese was entrant number 10 in this years Royal Rumble. Lazy commentating. Getting people over is not rocket science. Put some damn effort in it. I couldn’t remember Tony Nese being in the Royal Rumble at all. So I looked it up and he wasn’t in the Royal Rumble, which is probably why I don’t remember him being in it. You may be confusing him with Shelton Benjamin, who was in fact entrant number 10 in this year’s Royal Rumble. Edited July 25, 2020 by HarmonicGenerator Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danny Franchetti’s Jazzbox 16 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 I looked that up too as I didn’t remember Nese being in this years rumble, he was in the greatest royal rumble in Saudi, didn’t do anything of note then either though so I wouldn’t want the commentators bringing it up.

I'm forever getting the two mixed up in fairness. Nese is dull as fuck anyway. Edited July 26, 2020 by PunkStep Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Duke 361 Posted July 26, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 It's possible that they weren't actually trying to get Tony Nese over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DCW 436 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Big E push/eventual title win will be crap without proper crowds. For once, I wouldn't mind if WWE held off on it for a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Statto 700 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 I was enjoying the hell out of the bar fight until Jeff magically transformed. Don't know why ALL these things have to involve some kind of supernatural element. I can definitely see Big E taking the IC Title off AJ at SummerSlam, given they've suggested a 6 week absence for Kofi & that Braun vs Fiend seems nailed on for that event. But yeah, let's see him push on from there, and Woods & Kingston can be the tag team when they both come back. Don't think Lacey actually really 'turned' at any point, did she? She's just suddenly a heel again. Seems to be the way of the world these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeronimoJacksBeard 246 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Like many, much of the events of this year has taken me more out of wrestling than ever before. A Big E title chase is perhaps one of the only things that could keep me invested at this stage. I've posted many times previously how i believe there's so many reason why he is the guy. But don't switch him, he's your babyface. That bit with Kofi is the exact feel and approach i'd want them to take. If it happens without a crowd and as a result where i can't be bothered to watch that will be hugely gutting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Philjax 79 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 The highlights of the Swamp fight on SD actually made it look like I might enjoy it. I would never have called Alexa turning up as Sister Abigail or whatever the fuck. I might watch it one day..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

buba3d 15 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 by god was smackdown outstanding or what? Big E is just a delight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daaaaaad! 465 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 They so, so almost had that ending perfect. When the Fiend music kicked in I was like “oh shit”. Perhaps one of the better times they’ve done the ‘horror’ aspect in a long time. Then there was the slow tension build as he threatened the mandible claw. It was all falling into place... and then the minute he locks it on, the crowd noise from Windows 98 kicks in with its fake BOOS, and I was completely out of it once more. Bah.

Paid Members Supremo 6,274 Posted August 1, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) I liked how Alexa Bliss had more self respect than Seth Rollins, not screaming or crying in fear. Edited August 1, 2020 by Supremo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidB6937 2,000 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Haven't watched Raw properly in ages but I've been enjoying Smackdown lately and this week really delivered all over the place really. Might be their best show in months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedRooster 696 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 First WWE show I’ve watched in ages, pretty much entirely based on the feedback here. I enjoyed it, it was an easy watch. Sonya Deville must be one of the most under-utilised wrestlers around, she’s brilliant and really should be filling the badass babyface void left by Becky Lynch. I strongly suspect she’d be getting over huge if there was a crowd around. Her promos are great and her in ring work has come on leaps and bounds. I’d much prefer to see her unseat Bayley than Any of the other Smackdown options. I’d not seen Gran Metalik wrestle before, but his match with AJ was a lot of fun. If the conclusion to Big E’s singles run is anything less than a World title win, the guy is being done a massive disservice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch 2,878 Posted August 8, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 That closing segment was the most tone deaf thing I’ve seen them do in recent times as well as being nauseating to watch due to the camera cuts. Just the worst. Massive step down from last week Quote Link to post Share on other sites
