Wrestling Thread 4: The Ruethless Aggression Era • Page 390

So is it just storyline or is he on drugs

 

Riott Squad out here to get buried again...

 

How are Sami and KO coming back? Especially KO? I thought he was out for much longer

 

I think KO was expected to be cleared by February so idk. Maybe he'll just manage Sami or something for now

 

this all could be a teaser of mania season in general where some of these people won't debut/return for a couple months, or could have KO just manage sami until he's cleared

 

Is Natalya what the wwe universe wants?

 

Maybe leads to a full heel turn by Ronda?

 

Even crazier that they gave this all to Nattie...that same booking for Ember or Bayley would have been exactly the big boost they needed.

 

Eh she’s gonna lose to Ronda. Aren’t they taping the next raw? Right after this one?

 

This would be the only way to end this story and have it make any sense...since Natalya not getting revenge wouldnt really matter (whereas you'd want Bayley or Ember or Sasha to beat her in the end).

 

That would have been an ok episode of RAW if they hadnt announced a shake-up. With it, that was a huge dud.

 

TLC grades are up HERE

I was too lazy to color code everything this time around, but whatever. Don't think we've ever had a ppv were everyone was so close together. Anybody can win the Rumble.

also shoutout to @tucah for being the only one to correctly predict the Rousey interference in the main event.

 

for a normal raw.. it would've been "fine". but what the fuck was that shake up shit

 

Hot damn those were close

 

For some reason a batch of people didn't get credit for a tables prop and the Phenomenal Forearm spot monkey. I probably forgot to save my changes. Anyway, updated those just now so some scores moved a tiny bit. @Henry still in the lead though

 

As long as I keep my lead over @Oddpac87 we're in business

 

Finally watched the main event of TLC. Thought it was solid. Asuka should win everything for the rest of eternity she is the greatest of all time.

 

so is paige fired too?

 

I understand why WWE are calling up a bunch of people. Its an easy way to inject new faces into the roster so it looks like they are doing something different. But the roster already has plenty of talent. The problem is how that talent is utilized. Further over-saturating the talent pool isn't gonna help. If you are gonna call up a bunch of people, at least run an "HHH is leading an invasion of NXT talent because he knows the way NXT does things is better than Raw or SD" angle. This just feels like a waste...

WWE is clearly aware that something is wrong -- they aren't blind to the tanking ratings. But it doesn't seem like they actually understand what is wrong.

 

Wow, so nothing happened.

 

That was worse than not doing anything.

 

Vince with his finger on the pulse of the WWE universe as usual. Tired of authority figures? Have more of the old ones that you were grateful to be rid of!

Also no surprise that 5 of the 6 call ups are WWE made. And there's only 2 I think that Trips will miss (EC3 and Nikki). And lets face it, EC3 should never have been in NXT in the first place.

 

i truly don’t know what’s worse: a heel Corbin GM or having to watch Stephanie act like there is a babyface bone in her body

also when they were saying “YOU THE UNIVERSE ARE THE GM NOW LOL” i thought we were gonna get the dumb polls back that offered the same shit multiple times like

“should Miz face Ziggler in:

1. No DQ
2. Street Fight
3. No holds barred”
