Wrestling Thread 5: FKA The Viking Experience • Page 639

I feel like a jerk but the aew rating makes me feel so jaded against wrestling fans. People been crying how terrible wwe is...a viable, solid, accessible alternative shows up...

And... and bleh ratings.

Come onnnnnn

 

yeah, thanksgiving eve is one of the top two biggest bar nights of the year

 

Seth/AOP is happening and I'm feeling optimistic


Narrator: he was wrong

 

Guess they're gonna start saying shit now lol

 

everyone but chuck taylor

 

Damn an hour into raw and no new posts, I’m gonna assume it is booty

 

I just turned it on and Kyle Busch is the 24/7 champ...so....

 

uhhh so is joe working on the commentator desk permanent or is he injured?

 

He had surgery on his wrist. Just stopped wearing a guard. Gonna assume he's gearing up to come back. I'd guess the commentary gig will lead to it.

 

Just turned on Raw. Is Charlotte having a handicap title match right now? Guess they are taking her trademarks seriously

 

Charlotte vs Asuka is so money how have they not bled it dry yet

 

That was a great finish. Also loving the kabuki warriors gear

 

Fuck it, it’s my birthday for a few more hours I’ll quadruple post:

lol at the ref telling Asuka to get back in the ring to pose. I always think it’s hilarious when they have to do that kind of stuff

 

Vintage WWE to follow up a great RAW with an absolute terrible one

 

Just give me Viking raiders vs AOP already dammit

 

Imagine still trotting out jobber matches 2 months after they became champs. Their most legit opponents were Randy + Ricochet...

 

I’d be more ok with it if it was interspersed with some kind of feud. Like “AOP, this is what we are going to do to you” type thing.

also I’m pretty shocked they are still giving so much shine to Humberto still. I like it but it’s surprising. Just hate that it’s the same damn match every week

 

Can’t believe that was a main event. And TLC is already just a week away

 

And another PPV with no announced matches with <2 weeks to go. There arent even any possible RAW title matches set up.

 

It's tough to have anything substantial in a company that's spent 3 months trying to develop a new hard brand split, promote a Saudi house show (where brand split is irrelevant), then promote a ppv where the brand split really is irrelevant... and then your champion takes off for 2 months.

Cluster fuck.

 

Legit no idea what they are doing with Rey. Unless this is all leading to a multi-man ladder match for the US title, Rey is gonna be absent from the PPV after his big feud with Brock...and while having won the US title.

 

Ahhhh

Geeez

What a bad show.

 

I just read the Raw report from F4W and it describes Raw as "excruciatingly average" lol

 

I tuned in midway through the Charlotte match and thought that was pretty good.
