You are thinking of the Thomas & Mack Center though, I assume. I was thinking of the pipe bomb promo as Punk mentioned it this week on Dynamite. I got my wires a bit crossed but knew there was a Vegas show right around that time as I had been there about a week and a half before so was a little sore about mistiming my trip.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I haven’t watched RAW this week but all I needed to know about it came from the title of one of their YouTube videos: ”Riddle and Shinsuke Nakamura battle the Usos in a Championship Contenders’ match” Presumably, it’s time to break out the Garth.

Paid Members Nick James Posted May 31, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted May 31, 2022 I think Raquel faced Rousey in a Championship Contenders match on Smackdown as well. Booking thy name be lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I’ve only watched the Cody/Seth segment because… well because it’s about the only thing worth watching on Raw, but it was great. I can only imagine Vince was tugging himself senseless as it’s exactly what I reckon the dream for NXT was originally; relatively handsome men in suits using long words, sort of unclear who you’re supposed to root for and ends in a brawl. I did love it, though.  “You don’t get to smash the throne with a sledgehammer and then come back and try and steal my throne” is an absolute billy banger of a line, and cut right to the heart of how they should be positioning people against Cody. I think Cody’s presentation is superb still, but good Lord he’ll be a tremendous heel champion one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-d-d-dAz Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 It's definitely their new weird thing; having someone walk, and then cutting to various other segments/ad breaks. The thing that baffles me is, their music will have stopped at some point. Then they're stood there like an absolute plum whilst the music reloads. I think it leads to in-ring segments being cold as ice, as for the live audience the speaker has often been stood there for 10 minutes whilst their music plays on a loop and they twiddle their thumbs.

Paid Members Supremo Posted June 7, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 7, 2022 Further evidence that in 2022 WWE’s best stuff always happens when something by goes wrong and they have to veer off the beaten path. Judgment Day were on course to being one of the worst factions of all time. We were looking at a solid six to twelve months of Edge mumbling his spooky, goff, e-fed nonsense, all THRONES and HOUR GLASSES, with everyone involved looking like an awkward plumb. Cody getting injured and them turning Edge back babyface in a panic was fate forcing them to address a problem they’d have normally ignored entirely. It probably won’t make a huge difference, but switching in a heel Balor to lead the group felt a million times more fresh and exciting. Poor Edge though. As if his return hasn’t been bad enough for his legacy. He’s now one of those by-default, billy-no-mates babyfaces. “I was a bad guy, but then all my bad guy friends beat me up, so please cheer me.” Fuck knows what he does with the vampire haircut, too. Just shave the whole thing off? How long does Edge have left on this contract? I’d just call it a day if I were him. It’s been a disaster.

Paid Members BomberPat Posted June 7, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 7, 2022 such a nonsensical angle, too. Edge - who got the win the previous night - is "holding them back", so they replace him with Finn Balor, the man Edge pinned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted June 7, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 7, 2022 Shout out to Cody though, who’s developed such a reputation of being a fucking nutter that him alluding to competing in Money in the Bank almost sounded plausible.

I feel like i'm ploughing a lonely furrow, but I love him. I didn't really care either way before, but he's been great recently and I think I finally 'get' him. This last week has shown that his absurd earnestness and sincerity isn't as faux as I presumed. He's just an absolute nutter consumed by this utterly all-consuming love for pro-wrestling. At some point someone will need to save him from himself as God knows where this journey ends, but something really endearing about it. #TeamCody ...Just keep Brandi at home, yeah?

The Gaffer Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Edge is a WWE fanboy. He got another WrestleMania main event and a hand in creating a new spooky Brood with an Alter Bridge theme song. I think his return's probably gone brilliant in his mind. But yeah chucking Balor into the group is great. He strikes me as one of those "Living comfortably" Nakamura type guys for a few years now, just floundering about the place. One of the rare guys chucking him into a daft faction will benefit.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
