Yeah, I was a bit surprised at that, given how Triple H treated tag teams in NXT. Why not have him destroy the 24/7 division instead, and use that as a way of permanently writing that division off TV, which, it seems Hunter is very keen to do (and rightly so). I thought this was the weakest Triple H-booked Raw to date, and it probably could do with having a full-time Champion, as much as I'm enjoying the Roman Reigns storyline. They've kind of booked themselves into a corner with that one, though. There's not really a way out of it without ruining your best storyline. 11 hours ago, Supremo said: Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn staying with WWE has turned into all-time great decisions, hasnât it? Top lads. Give me the Eddie and Benoit at Wrestlemania moment with those two, minus all the horrible stuff that followed.  This, 100%. I could actually see this happening for them at some point in the future too, which is pretty crazy; given how things felt just over a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted September 13, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted September 13, 2022 WWE re-signing Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will be their best bit of business in a long, long time. Both are on absolute fire lately and the resurgence of KO is a thing to behold. He looks like the real deal again. The promo with Theory was very good along with the brawl afterwards. This is great .. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, I'm struggling to see anything of value in Austin Theory. In ring, he's bang average. Not bad, but far from stand-out. On the mic, he's mediocre. He looks more like one half of a tag team than he does a future world champion. Last, but absolutely not least, you then have the allegations made against him. I don't see what WWE sees in him that would make them think it's worth overlooking this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick him with Dijakovic, he's not doing anything of note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted September 13, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted September 13, 2022 I'm the last person to insist on wrestlers being musclebound behemoths, but there's something very odd going on when a billed height of 6'1" constitutes "quite tall" in WWE. As for handsome, maybe I'm missing something, but he's an odd looking dude to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUM Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 The Judgment Day have gotten far better since slotting Rhea into the leader role I must say. Really enjoying The Miz/Lumis stuff too. RAW continues to be the best wrestling show at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted September 13, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted September 13, 2022 âHandsome.â The most interesting and surprising thing about Austin Theory is that his finisher isnât the shitty Overdrive / Playmaker / O-zone. He suits that finisher more than anyone ever. A boring, generic Create-a-wrestler, with bang average stats, apart from his ânonce,â stat, which is potentially quite high.
