Wrestling Thread April-September 2018 RIP

[noblekane]

i see what the wwe did. now that they have the wwe network they could care less about saving a match like styles vs bryan.

there were no true wrestlemania moment this year

had bobby lashley return on a raw and all of the debuts happened on tv

padding them stats for fox

 

[DCAllAfrican]

so we should have had the bryan styles tag match with the accident finish?

We don't need that goofy angle to start a feud man.

The match sells itself.

DB: I was hurt, and while I was away someone came into the spotlight and took the crown as the best in the world. I want to prove who the best is. (Not in those exact words)

It doesn't have to be complicated man.

This is true as well

 

[DCAllAfrican]

WCW did the same with Hogan vs. Goldberg on Nitro.

Yea and Kevin Sullivan mentions bi-weekly how that was the start of a slow death for WCW

 

[ihust1e]

the four horse face women? who would be the fourth member?

Asuka

what you described is more complicated than just fighting; i imagine that's all you want, and I said what is the point of a promo for bryan or styles?

Rousey and Bryan were both WM Moments.

Nobody gives a **** about Lashley.

feel like those situations can't be compared, seeing how bryan hasn't wrestled for 3 years

 

[green rhino123]

Mandy Rose look like a damb horse!

 

[CleanestNdaCity]

They're different situations, but they both are PPV caliber matches.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

what you described is more complicated than just fighting; i imagine that's all you want, and I said what is the point of a promo for bryan or styles?

What is complicated about the situation I presented? I am confused.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

They are being "compared" because they are MONEY matches that are being given away on weekly television

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Nobody gives a **** about Lashley.

I don't but that might be because I wasn't watching when he first debuted.

 

[toneagain]

They're different situations, but they both are PPV caliber matches.

but that's not on wwf if you don't care about the rematch at a ppv, i mean by this logic you don't want ppv tier matches on weekly shows

 

[T0INE]

WWE finally doing something for long time Network subscribers.

Got this e-mail:

 

[CleanestNdaCity]

Not all PPV matches are money matches though. Those 2 are.

 

[toneagain]

What is complicated about the situation I presented? I am confused.

that promo STEP, (step 1: talk, step 2: talk back step 3: fight)
however if you take it out, way more simple
step 1: FIGHTING

 

[DCAllAfrican]

but that's not on wwf if you don't care about the rematch at a ppv, i mean by this logic you don't want ppv tier matches on weekly shows

Man the FIRST time two mega stars lock up, shouldn't be on a SD.

The rematch can happen, sure, and people can want to see it but you are losing magic by having the FIRST encounter on a SD.

But I tap out forreal this time. We are going in circles

 

[DCAllAfrican]

that promo STEP, (step 1: talk, step 2: talk back step 3: fight)

Fighting without PROMO(tion) isn't as exciting.

And again, why is Promo, fight considered COMPLICATED?

It isn't complicated at all.

That is how fights starts. People talk trash and then fight

 

[toneagain]

They're different situations, but they both are PPV caliber matches.

you only mentioned they were ppv caliber

 

[toneagain]

see that's where we disagree, i don't need a fake script to be interested in bryan v styles

 

[DCAllAfrican]

see that's where we disagree, i don't need a fake script to be interested in bryan v styles

neither do EYE, but I am not the only fan of the sport.

So I am not fantasy booking with JUST me in mind

 

[CleanestNdaCity]

Ok now you're nit picking. The point is they shouldn't be on regular TV for the first match.

 

[moneyballer55]

So it appears GRR will be canon and included in story lines? Curious to see what WWE is getting to put this show on. Must be a ton for them to put on such a big production overseas so close to Mania. I guess we'll find out when their financials come out next quarter.

 

[dinyc3st]

Never forget!

 

[toneagain]

It isn't complicated at all.

That is how fights starts. People talk trash and then fight

it's complicated when you compare it to just fighting, adding 2 weeks of promo is not as simple as just fighting, you know that
