Paid Members mim731 Posted January 23 Paid Members Posted January 23 Two episodes in. Jesus Christ, but Road Dogg is the most insecure man alive. He also seems like he'd be insufferable to be friends with. Poor R-Truth. Also, I do love that Triple H's producers are essentially the TNA midcard circa 2007. Lovely stuff. Quote

That thing on this week’s show where the music restarted as he began strutting again was genuinely funny, a rarity in WWE. I refuse to believe any of the usual suspects came up with that themselves. Not a fucking chance Road Dogg, Hayes, Pritchard or Hunter could ever be so funny. It’s not what they do. Looks like we have our answer. Kit himself was heavily involved and, luckily, is also a normal human being, who lives in the real world, and has knowledge of pop culture in 2026. Chucking out references to Charlie XCX, Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, JADE and the 1975 shouldn’t be particularly revolutionary, but in that company they probably looked at him like he had two heads. ”Are you sure you don’t want some early 2000s rawk music? We can get the commentators to say you love to have fun?” I remember seeing another interview with Pretty Deadly where they spoke about trying to crowbar cheeky references from The Inbetweeners and Gavin and Stacy into their promos wherever they can, just to pop each other. Again, nothing amazing, but can you imagine Road Dogg or Michael Hayes bringing any pop culture references to the table from after 1999? Not a chance. Give these lads the pencil. Quote
The Dart Posted January 28 Posted January 28 My issue with the Seth Rollins injury thing is, has it ever actually been explained what the storyline is? Or are they too busy being smug about fooling the internet to bother with that? Did Seth Rollins - 10 minutes into his match with LA Knight - decide to fake an injury and allow LA Knight to easily beat him, so CM Punk would not think there was a chance he'd cash in on him 3 weeks later, but ah-ha, I will cash in on you 3 weeks later. Or did Seth Rollins get injured in the match, lose the match, but then find out the injury wasn't as bad as he thought and used that as a chance to trick CM Punk? Maybe it was explained - I don't watch Raw every week, but I don't remember. Quote
Paid Members Supremo Posted January 28 Paid Members Posted January 28 Within the fiction, the character of Seth Rollins gained nothing from faking an injury. He simply lost a match on purpose, went away for a while, came back, and then cashed in on CM Punk exactly how he could have done anyway. The only difference was he got to flamboyantly throw his crutches down before doing so. It’s the same deal with the run-in angles, where wrestlers come out in black hoodies and balaclavas, then immediately reveal themselves. Nothing is achieved by wearing the disguise beyond the drama of immediately whipping the mask off. Held up to any scrutiny whatsoever, everyone just feels like a silly, camp, theatre-studies kid, trying to be as dramatic as possible. It’s enough to make you think they aren’t putting proper thought into this stuff and it primarily exists for episodes of Unreal and Twitter clips of Triple H bestowing his wisdom. Quote

Thing is though he comes across as such a smug cunt that I absolutely believe Seth Rollins would just want to show off and do that just because he can, especially if it means he gets one over on CM Punk. He's mentioned a few times he doesn't particularly like the guy apparently. Let's not forget he doesn't actually have a character. Certainly not consistently anyway. He's a a revolutionary. He's a visionary. He's a faking an injuryonary. Fuck knows. Quote
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted January 28 Paid Members Posted January 28 @Supremojust as a little pop for you, had a look at Rumble odds earlier and most sites have Kit Wilson ahead of last year's winner Jey Uso as a winner. Quote
Paid Members Supremo Posted January 28 Paid Members Posted January 28 (edited) I had him nailed on as entrant Number 1 or 2, to allow him to do the full entrance, so winning the whole thing might be a tall task, but he has my full support. Save The Rumble from its rampant toxic masculinity. Edited January 28 by Supremo Quote
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted January 28 Paid Members Posted January 28 I've actually got him showing up 4 or 5 times and never getting in the ring on mine so number 30 baby! Quote
Paid Members DCW Posted January 30 Paid Members Posted January 30 Is that Jelly Donut lad a similar level star in the States than the Travis Scott chap who they had beat up Cody last year? Road Dogg's bad judgement is hilarious. He thought Truth was going to be a big star in 2000? so he put on some dungarees, gained a few stone and decided to join him? bloody hell. I like Truth, but he was never going to get over with that gimmick back then, plus he was small for the time vs the lads on the main roster. Quote

d-d-d-dAz Posted February 7 Posted February 7 I really don't like this show. I did however, enjoy how much Triple H could not be arsed with R Truth's return or ideas. "So, what am I supposed to think if i'm in the audience? Oh, R-Truth had a haircut? Great." Penta and Chelsea Green seem like normal, decent people. I hope they continue to do well. Quote

Aside from the fact that it was R-Truth doing the sort of angle that Triple H normally loves, and that the IWC used to predict on a weekly basis, of shedding his comedy gimmick and WWE-assigned name and promising to go by Ron Killings, which could have easily meant something if the booking had actually followed up on it, despite the fact that it did get a reaction beyond "Oh he had a haircut", aside from the fact that cutting of hair has been symbolic and impactful enough in wrestling that Hair vs. Hair matches have been a thing since at least the 1950s, not understanding why a black wrestler cutting off his locks might be an impactful moment or why anyone else would be interested in it, is very on-brand for Triple H, isn't it?

I was just really taken by how little he could be arsed with the discussion. I'm sure his alleged prejudices may have played a part in this particular instance, but generally my takeaway from Unreal so far is how little of the show he can be arsed with. He's showing all the traits of any rapidly overpromoted person, where they quickly lose interest in all but the most 'important' things. It also made me laugh after the Jelly Roll match where JR gave him a huge hug and was like 'i'm so fucking in, I want to go again'... and Trippers just completely skirted it like 'yeah, great... anyway...'

The whole thing was an obvious inconvenience to him and I imagine the way Road Dogg was going on about it had the same effect as Jim Ross famously bigging up Dr Death in 98. He couldn't wait for the whole thing to blow over and be done with it. Quote
