Wrestling Thread 6: It's Poppy • Page 108

They actually have a pre show for this shit?

 

Chuck Taylor exists, you heathens.

 

I suspect it'll be Brock's longest Saudi match since the Roman one. But the bar there is only ~3 minutes.

Yeah, this is the success for NXT too; having 2-3 month builds for PPVs makes it a lot easier to spread things out and not rush. You can see the difference in Rhea/Charlotte, when the main roster booking bleeds over and how rushed that build feels by comparison.

 

Lol, Truth beat Andrade via accidental headbutt

 

Taker squashed Styles lmao

 

Someone is turning heel on Saturday - the Bucks were definitely very heelish during that interview last night

 

Bayley's ring attire in that interview:

 

Dynamite. Not as amazing as past 2 episodes but obviously still solid.

I loveeeeee having so few ppvs. So many of these matches feel like such a big deal. Every match has SOMETHING attached to it.

And heres wwe vs aew in a nutshell. Wwe gives you boring fucking contract signing with Jerry Lawler and bad promos.... aew gives you a weigh in with all the pomp and circumstance. Unique.

 

Can I buy the PPV and watch it whenever? Or only live and replays

 

Hahaha, Ricochet got in zero offense?

 

So basically a repeat of Kofi

 

Damn that was pretty bad tbh

 

I haven't done it myself but I think when my friend bought one of them he was able to pull it up the next day. So maybe you get the PPV for like 24 hours and can watch it whenever you please within that time frame?

 

Hmm cause I want to support but I probably wont be able to watch until like...monday. I'll look into it

 

God damnit I caught up to super show down live after fast forwarding too much. What a boring product wwe seems now cause of aew.

Lesnar squashed ricochet in 2 minutes. Great. Like... wtf is the point of that. What part of the build, the match, the aftermath was interesting. So why do it? No one thought ricochet would win...and he gets squashed. Cool?

Taker vs AJ is awesome (5 years ago).

I used to be into part time taker and part timers in general but these saudi shows have made them not special. Theres nothing special about taker wrestling anymore. No more streak. I mean I thought the point was that Reigns retired him like 3 years ago.

 

You can definitely do replays (it says they are unlimited) and that it should be ready in ~24hrs

 

WWE booking is so funny. Roman books the match so Corbin cant escape, locks the cage door to start the match so there's no easy escape....and then tries to climb out of the cage 5 minutes into the match

 

this show sounds like its actual dog shit

 

I just didn’t really get why they had the ricochet “why not me” video package before the match. It made his chances a little more believable, but just booking him to get obliterated by Brock makes him look like a schmuck.

 

They stopped pushing ricochet months ago, it was just a random squash match

 

Don't give them ideas. That'll be the next thing incorporated into the Corbin/Reigns feud.

 

R-Truth has been the best par so far, I believe

 

The WWE can’t make any new stars but they are great at destroying any potential stars

 

WM season is all about the top guys and old fucks
