Wrestling Thread, Not Only Are You Next...You're Last! - Part 233

Then don't watch the damn thing and let certain fans enjoy the spectacle of it, It's not guaranteed to suck anyway as I said before, there's always the chance of both being motivated this time to do better.

In regards to Becky, with WWE's insane work schedule (wrestling night after night for 300+ days a year, often in small venues, plus all of the other stuff), it's no surprise that injuries are a constant problem. In just the last year or so, you have Rollins, Balor, Sasha, Nikki, et all miss significant time due to injury.

There's a reason why other promotions have lighter work loads (but Vince will never understand that).

Unless they know for sure that she'll be out for awhile, don't make her drop it. The Raw title scene became a convoluted mess because they thought that Sasha would be out for awhile, made her drop the title back to Charlotte, brought up Bayley early to feud with Charlotte, but then Sasha turned out to be not as hurt as they'd thought. So they've spent like a month just trying to reset everything.

I don't want that happening to SDL if at all possible.

other promotions don't have to produce 8 hours of TV programming a week, on top of house show commitments

It really is crazy. The schedule shouldn't be that.

WWE created that problem, so no excuse there. And if you're performers, including your champions (Rollins and Balor both had to vacate their titles due to injury after all, as did Cena during one of his reigns a few years back), keep getting injured over and over, then maybe you should consider changing how you do things at least a little bit?

 

[Warhammer]

That's a damn shame for Lynch's long journey to the title and huge push to potentially end like this. Like Loki said, know more info before dropping the title.

Yep. WWE's schedule is brutal because they made it that way. Just like the brand split, they can ease the schedules further for the promoters so people can actually be healthy. If Lynch has to vacate the title, that will be 3 top titles vacated within one year with Sasha Banks's title being a pseudo vacated title due to not wanting the negative buzz.

Thats exactly the problem.
Small promotions need many shows to get peoples attention.
The wwe doesnt need that, they have their network, they have 8 hours of weeklys.
They dont need to do 6 houseshows in one week.

If anything, so many houseshows are the reason for the "bored" crowd you see on tv.
With less houseshows, the superstars would be healthier and could work a more demanding wrestling style.

Then don't watch the damn thing

K.

and let certain fans enjoy the spectacle of it, It's not guaranteed to suck anyway

Nothing's guaranteed for anything. But it will probably suck.

And the so called spectacle has already taken place. It won't be recreated to the same veracity a second time. Not with the knowledge of how much it sucked

I said before, there's always the chance of both being motivated this time to do better.

Fat chance.

Lesnar has been getting progressively lazier. And Goldberg has always been poor in the ring. I see nothing good coming out of it.

 

[Warhammer]

I disagree. Lesnar/Goldberg II has plenty of spectacle. It won't save ratings at all but nothing will to be honest.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Lesnar/Goldberg II does nothing for me outside Brock squashing him. I am still mad that Goldberg one the first one.

 

[Lead Cenobite]

Can they get rid of the stupid name "TNA" finally? They could have done that a long time ago.

Yeah that has always been a pretty juvenile name, considering it obviously originates as a sexual pun. I hear TNA and I think of that Trish Stratus, Test and Albert stable from the Attitude era.

 

[Slushy]

The Clinton Vs. Trump Presidential Debate is the the highest rated in US History with EIGHTY million viewers! McMahon panicked that no one is going to watch the PPV tonight because of Round 2 so Styles Vs. Cena Vs. Ambrose will be opening the show. Guessing Miz Vs. Ziggler or Orton Vs. Wyatt will main event instead.

[DX]

Gotta be Miz/Ziggler in the main event then. Either Ziggler's goodbye or the feel-good moment of him winning the IC title to close the show.

 

[TX85]

Damn presidential debate

 

[TX85]

Curt Hawkins with the most annoying self announcing

 

[TX85]

Becky not competing

 

[Slushy]

The official announcement of Lynch being out is such a buzzkill.

 

[TX85]

Fiesty hmm hmm, I really like D-Bry and Shane together

 

[TX85]

The Usos are natural heels

 

[NDX]

I'mma make sure I miss Smackdown on Tuesday so I can watch it online and FF through everything Curt Hawkins related.

 

[TX85]

American Alpha being on the pre-show is a crime, they better win this!!

 

[Slushy]

Shame they got rid of the Vaudevillains black & white intro.
