Mr Butternut Squash Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 It didn’t really register before, but Christ, that blue belt looks horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Butternut Squash Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 When was the last time a booking choice sparked so much debate and controversy? Royal Rumble 2015? I don’t think HITC had this level of response (which is when The Fiend was really done). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopper Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I watched the 2010 Elimination Chamber match this morning. During Kofi Kingston's entrance he did his usual 2010 mannerisms but he subtly glanced over his shoulder a few times, which was a callback to the previous year's Elimination Chamber when Edge ambushed him during his entrance and took his place in the match.  I was impressed with the fact it was quite subtle, but then right before he got inside Michael Cole explained the whole thing which took the shine off.

Paid Members Supremo Posted March 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2020 Santino salutes in mid-air to sell the Stone Cold Stunner. Fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted March 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Remember hearing on a podcast recently an opinion that Santino’s comedy act doesn’t hold up as well today watching it back. I think that’s a harsh and poor assessment - there’s nobody on the roster at the moment that comes close to generating genuine laughter (apart from maybe Otis. Also announcer Trips) and some of his one liners were great. Admittedly the cobra and Santina stuff jumped the shark at times, but even then people still loved him. Look/listen the pop at the 2011 Rumble where he appears behind Del Rio and looks like he’s about to pull off the biggest surprise in Rumble history. Didn’t it also come down to him and Bryan a few years back for the strap in an Elimination Chamber match and the crowd were well behind him, or am I imagining that? He had the comedy down, but was a solid (if unspectacular) worker too in his own right.

That was the same year as the Rumble, how different things could have been had Santino pulled one of the two off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
