The Wrestling Thread - Part 244

[chamber-music]

The problem is that WWE rarely gets it's storytelling right these days either. And when they do, they sort of just blunder into it basically. Braun vs. Roman is actually a great example of this as Braun is supposed to be the heel in this, yet the crowd doesn't treat him as such.

So NJPW does both storytelling AND match quality better these days.

The Bayley vs Sasha feud and Sami vs Kevin Owens feud were some of my favorites in recent years.

NXT is very different from the main roster. Very different. Asuka and Cross is a good example of this.

The problem with the Owens/Zayn feud is that the two had a MUCH better feud right before they got to WWE as Kevin Steen and El Generico. Seriously, compare their Ladder War in ROH to anything they have done in WWE and it's night and day.

I think a lot of the Feud problems the wwe has, comes from oversaturation.
I realized that when the Joe vs Lesnar match happened.

The whole feud and the match itself, felt fresh and interesting...i really got into it because the fire of this matchup hadnt dried out because of them facing off in the weekly episodes.

So i think one of the biggest problems the wwe has is that they hardly cant create really special feuds because they need to have something for the weekly episodes that makes the people come into the shows and watch it.

This needs to happen for real!

I know it won't happen, but I'd gouge out my right eye and eat it to see this at NXT Brooklyn.

Well, War Machine are technically free agents, but they are the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions.

Since you have said you are going to Brooklyn, there's a very good shot at seeing this guy in attendance:

This guy too:

But I am not sure if you are familiar with the second guy as you are the first.

I do think that there will be call-ups after Summerslam, why else is NXT in a signing spree all of a sudden?

Just watched the Progress Atlas title match between Matt Riddle and Walter...my chest hurts...

 

[LOBO3315a]

Kurt Angle, you ARE the father!

 

[Wheels]

Jaaaaaaaaason Joooooooooordan. Hahahaha yes!

 

[Pink Ranger]

Lol, I get the feeling this has something to do with a Kandinsky painting and a movie version of the musical Cats.

 

[Dr Lee]

Did Cole say both of AA were on RAW now or just Jordan?

Also, Paige's luck continues to be ****...

 

[Wheels]

I'm happy one of the American Alpha got this story. This is cool in my book.

 

[The Apocalypse]

 

[Wheels]

So much better than freakin' Dixie.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I did not think it was going to be Jason Jordan. Thought it was going to be Chad Gable. But I like how the storyline ended. Too bad another tag team is breaking up.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

They should become the new Team Angle. Why wouldn't you make them the new Team Angle?

 

[Dr. Evil]

They should become the new Team Angle. Why wouldn't you make them the new Team Angle?

Because the WWE doesn't think that way. The phrase "making sense" does not exist.

Also....

"I'm not finished with you yet!"

 

[Donnie Darko]

I guess I'm just confused. With the triumphant return tonight, Braun Strowman should be treated as the top babyface on Raw after taking down the established heel (Joe) and the guy who tried to murder him after a clean loss (Reigns).

 

[NDX]

I'm starting to really like Samson's work on RAW.

I'm starting to really like Samson's work on RAW.

I love him. But tonight it seems he hit Finn with a legit guitar, which is not cool.

Braun tried to seriously injure Reigns first to be fair. People gloss over that because it was Braun attacking Reigns. Much like how Austin was loved for screwing with Bret Hart and anything Hart did to Austin got booes. I'm a Braun guy but it's pretty obvious the reason Roman is an attempted murderer and people ignore Braun tipping over the ambulance is because Roman is Roman.
