Paid Members Statto Posted July 26, 2020 Paid Members 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeronimoJacksBeard Posted July 26, 2020 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philjax Posted July 27, 2020 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buba3d Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 by god was smackdown outstanding or what? Big E is just a delight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted August 1, 2020 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 Posted August 1, 2020 Paid Members 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted August 1, 2020 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRooster Posted August 1, 2020 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted August 8, 2020 Paid Members 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite liked the segment myself, but perhaps I'm missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted August 8, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2020 I haven't seen any of these Retribution lads previously, but there was a clip on Reddit so I gave it a look. They're tiny. Looked like teenagers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Old School Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Miz & Morrison are the absolute worst. Also as said above, this Retribution group look ridiculous. Reckon my 10 year old lad and his mates would give them a good scrap. They actually make the Undisputed Era look terrifying.

DavidB6937 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I liked it. Always up for something a little different. The size of the people doesn't really matter. It's all about intimidation and strength in numbers. Nexus as individuals weren't all big blokes with big personalities. It was all about the unpredictable nature of their actions. Same here. Cocky people out for whatever they believe should be theirs. Could it have been better? Of course. But the idea is solid and the intrigue is there enough that I want to know who it is and what's going on. Highlight of the show again was Big E. That promo was a masterclass. What a man.

WyattSheepMask Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) The fucking size of them! The little people from Phoenix Nights would give them a run for their money ”oooooh, are you scared? Ooooh, where you going? Are you scared?...ooooh”- fuck off knobhead Edited August 8, 2020 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
