The Wrestling Thread CAN NOT DIE.. For it is ALREADY dead! -- - - Part 179

[The Chris]

I certainly did.

Me too. It was probably my favorite ppv since getting the network.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

It's about on par with Extreme Rules since getting the Network and probably the best WWE PPV since Mania.

 

[punishermax]

what a crap PPV and a bad way to keep subscribers on the network.

first off you have hogan come out and cut a promo and basically sell the WWE network to current and new subscribers. Most of the matches were forgettable and found myself chating with buddies at the house more then watching the matches. Steph vs Brie was a snooze fest and dissapointed by Wyatt vs Jericho.

Lesnar and Cena's match was ok and it was nice to see cena get pounded for 20 minutes but not enough to have me on the edge of my seat. .

Also what was with all the talking and videos? not too mention freaking commercials on a PPV and the 5 minute Totinos ad/skit.

Ziggler/Miz was a good, short match. Ziggler winning was great and unexpected.

AJ/Paige was very good despite albeit a bit short, but for it's length it was good.

Rusev/Swagger was decent with a logical ending extending their feud.

Rollins and Ambrose had easily the funnest lumberjack match ever.

Steph/Nikki was better than it had any right to be.

Wyatt/Jericho was good, not great. Wyatt went over the way he should have, by winning handily.

Orton/Reigns was solid if unspectacular. Not bad but not great.

The main event was fantastic. The storytelling has now established Brock as the biggest monster heel in over a decade easily, if not longer. If anyone was expecting anything different with the match then they don't understand pro wrestling.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I have a quick question:
We were pretty lively last night and I have yet to watch SS on the Network (probably won't do so for another week haha) so which match(es) were we the most alive for last night? My guess is Ambrose/Rollins.

 

[chamber-music]

I'm surprised Dean Ambrose doesn't have an Anarchy for Ambrose shirt with the A's being the Anarchy sign.

Is that Rick Rubin sitting behind the announce team?

That is what I was wondering

Sweet lord

I think Steph is wearing one of Chyna's old outfits.

I hope she washed it before putting it on

Wow, Stephanie is a better wrestler after 10 a year absence then a good chunk of the females in the back.

Agreed

Cena's recently upgraded from Jorts to Khaki shorts, lol.

So he updated his wardrobe from the 90's to the 00's

 

[Hotwire]

Watch the cena/Lesnar main event. Cena is finally selling like he should have been all along!

 

[bullets]

Brock better watch his lunch.

I wouldn't describe Brock vs Cena as a classic match , but definitely memorable. This is a much different Brock , he's now at "100%".

 

[Hotwire]

First I was like...
Then I was all...
Now, I'm looking at Kaleb while...

And for everyone who quotes it...

Cena has gotten whipped plenty of times. It's about time he finally stayed down. I kept expecting some monumental comeback , but they were wise to show the significance of the beat down. I'm not a Cena hater , but this was the right move by all accounts. For once the haters get to go home happy

Preview of the belts with the new logo:

IC title is like a diamond in a Triceratops sized pile of ****.

In terms or looks, the belt doesn't get any respect, but it sure is purdy.

 

[SpideyFan866]

This needs to be quoted as many times as possible.

 

[Kaleb]

aaww

 

[zeroapoc]

aaww

Yeah seeing her wrestle was probably really cool for her kids.

 

[Van Petrol]

Dirtsheets reporting there will be a segement on Raw with Brosnar being presented with the new belt. Wouldn't be at all surprised if it ends up in some sort of a brawl, with Cena and Orton coming out to challenge him, leading to Rollins and Reigns getting involved in the melee, which in turn could lead to a breif staredown between Brock and Reigns, getting that foreshadowing started early, lol.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Last thing we need is Orton in the title picture....again, unless he's been asked to face Kane again.

 

[Kaleb]

nice to see Steph flash the 4 Horse(wo)men sign at Ronda Rousey

Hopefully, it will be getting back some of that repsect now with Ziggler, as well as the fact that it could now be the second highest title and get more attention, what with Brock's limited schedule.

 

[Van Petrol]

Don't think he will be, maybe just for the segment. Though if it leads to Orton getting his ass kicked like Cnea, then I'd be all for it.

 

[Lobo]

I actually really like the tag belt design, just wish it was gold not bronze. Sounds like SummerSlam was a good show. I'm going to have to check it out

Let me guess... The stare down will get a "this is awesome" chant, even though the only state downs I can think of that were truly worthy were the first face off between Wyatts and Shield, and (even though it wasn't around back then) Rock and Hogan facing off.

Most likely, lol.

Yup. That Hogan Rock staredown deserved one, though.

Has anyone seen the pics of Brock at the steakhouse with the belts? God I love Brock.

That was boss. I can't wait to where they take his title reign because of it's anything like last night, it's going to be awesome.

 

[Benstamania]

I actually hope Cena doesn't do much on Raw.. Sell his damn beat down... Hell maybe he should actually say how he fears Lesnar or something. I do not want tough guy Cena coming out and demanding a rematch.. I don't want golly gee Cena saying how he got a thumping.. I want, if anything, a humble Cena that second guesses himself and decides to not go after the title again..
