Wrestling Thread 6: It's Poppy • Page 290

Yeah this isn’t holding my attention.

 

This is in Edge/Randy territory where I know the story they are trying to tell, but telling it over 30+ minutes just doesnt work with no crowd.

Commercial breaks kill it even more

 

DAMN

 

WWE: we know drama

 

Wow

 

hit his own damn finisher on him

 

HOLY SHIT I POPPED

 

Well damn

 

They just love turning the purest of the pure baby faces heel huh?

although honestly the story had to end with Johnny winning. Just should have been as a face.

 

Dayumn

 

just sucks that countless injuries and a global pandemic caused one of the hottest feuds to end with a fizzle

 

Had to rewind to see Scarlett and Kross in the car blocking the way

 

They should have just dropped it when Ciampa came back as a face. Could have always revisited it later

 

it's just so weird that Johnny and Candice are heels but I guess this is from the company that also thinks Charlotte Flair is a face and Kairi Sane is a heel sooooo


I do feel like this was the intended finish regardless of the circumstances surrounding it (trademark Stephanie McMahon) but if this happened at Takeover on the Saturday prior to Mania you have to imagine Ciampa was gonna be one of the planned arrivals for Raw after Mania.

 

Thing is, they'll both work as heels the same way Sami did. Though I was laughing that Candice turned heel the same day NXT got its new top babyface champ

 

Watching Dark Side... wow Bart Gunn really aged... also water is wet.

 

I used to be a fan of Bradshaw back in the attitude era. Even before the acolytes. But man, after everything we know now it feels good as shit to see him get his ass kicked.

 

Last post about it: I feel bad for Bart. Dude overachieved and got nothing out of it. You can tell he lost himself after getting knocked out by Butterbean. I had no idea about them doing MMA and obviously he only went into it just to get a shot at Butterbean. He’s living with that big what if.

 

Ok, so I can’t sleep. Leave me alone.

holy shit Britt Baker. It was taped, why not just end the match early? Although that was a great match. I don’t know why but man I love Shida.

 

Shida is amazing!

 

Man, I just can’t watch wrestling without a crowd. I don’t know it just doesn’t work for me. Watched a few minutes of Ciampa/Gargano and had to turn it off.

 

It's tough. I can do a few matches of it, but the matches have to be excellent in order to not be bored. I might just read about the shows for now, and watch something else until crowds are back.

 

seriously tho fuck Goldberg

• Whoever faced Goldberg was going to win, as the Hall of Famer didn’t have any more dates on his current deal, per WrestleTalk. He wasn’t interested in adding more, either.
• Sticking with Bill, WrestleZone says his winning the Universal title in Saudi Arabia was a last minute decision. Goldberg lobbied for the change since he sees his character as a superhero and thought losing to a monster like The Fiend would hurt his image with younger fans.
• The site also says Bray Wyatt “eventually agreed to put him [Goldberg] over, which might have gained him some more favor with the locker room.”

 

I knew Braun would win once the Corona shut everything down because #1 up there immediately popped into my mind. I knew he wanted the payday and wasn’t looking to add more dates just to be at the PC. And probably didn’t want to have to travel more than necessary

 

Man fuck Goldberg
