Wrestling Thread 3: Dan vs. Cam • Page 982

Rusev sold that win like a million bucks, too. it wasn’t cocky heel celebration, felt like it meant a fair bit to him

 

So far everyone in the MITB match seems like a solid choice to win it, which is good.

still need a way to get Sami in the match though

 

Yeah second chance matches seem likely at this point

 

guys who could definitely claim they deserve a qualifying match on Raw: Corbin, Elias, Roode, Seth, Lashley, Jinder, maybe Gable, Jordan if he's healthy

guys who could definitely claim they deserve a qualifying match on Smackdown: Almas, Shelton, Joe, Nak I guess too.

I don't see room for second chance matches. Maybe on Smackdown, but they could also just do a New Day Triple Threat to fill out SDs 4th spot. A MITB of Elias, Seth, Braun, Finn, Miz, Rusev, Joe and Kofi would definitely make up for no Sami.

 

I'd definitely prefer not to see second chance matches. That's a lot of names left too so hopefully there won't be any

 

So....the ppv isnt ruined for you more than a month in advance?

 

that felt like such a vince thing to do. Rusev day loses all the time, except when its against the one guy the internet loves even more

 

Smart move is to probably not put him in the match...have him do more traditional feuds and not risk the crowd turning on a bad MITB choice during the match.

Also, holy shit at them doing Mandy Rose-alina and just aping the Lana music. They just want to keep burying women with a bad idea it seems

 

i liked the filter in Mandy's entrance...but the walk (what was that?) and song were awful

also hated how before her new big entrance, they had her and sonya planning on going out together. They planned on going out together and do THAT entrance together? and then Mandy goes out and does a clear cut, new entrance on her own.

 

I somehow do not enjoy Jeff Hardy anymore. Whole thing feels soooo dated...

 

smackdown was great. Rusev winning as clean as he did was exactly what should have happened, and the fact that the show went off the air focused on Daniel Bryan makes me believe there are actual plans for him. I really want to see him get to the WWE title match and for the Miz to cash in on him

 

I was at SD last night and everyone was in shock that Rusev won clean. Main event was Aj vs Nakamura for the title. Ended with a chair shot DQ on Shinsuke.

 

Any nut shots?

 

Nope. A bunch of teases but nothing past that. I can’t believe this is a thing in a 2018 WWE Title program.

 

hope this isn't what i have dubbed the Cesaro Win, where Rusev gets a pin over a couple of big names before a multi-man match only to do jackshit for 6 months after

 

I always laugh when Hs or Vince say wrestlers need to earn wins and getting pushes because half the time someone is over with the crowd they try to bury them

 

This is so weird and awesome

 

Omg that seems really fun

I was also randomly thinking of Victoria the other day, oddly enough

 

Bryan on TIJ in case no one posted it yet.

 

I thought you meant Alvarez I'm such a geek

 

oh man, that would be great

 

Also, Mustafa Ali is incredible as usual

 

Jericho was the back up for Shane if he couldn't go for Mania

 

same

 

This match was so good
