ThunderPower_14 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I don't actually mind the Undertaker losing to Reigns if he wanted to retire, it's the right way to go out, but god they need to completely change up Reigns' character. It's insane that he's been this unpopular for this long and they're still pushing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His promo on Raw was very cocky heel-esque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler I think AJ has turned to make his draft to RAW have a greater impact. I still think he's going to RAW and him being so adamant that Smackdown is his show kind of made it more likely, but I'm intrigued by the whole thing. Aside from that though. I really hope that anyone that debuted on RAW/Smackdown this week are immune from the draft as why call them up now with the draft next week?

He is one of the best wrestlers in wwe today. but I agree AJ is going raw without question.

It could be a draft, it could be trades. A draft would make more sense for AJ leaving. If it is a trade then like you said Shane isn't going to get rid of AJ. I suppose we'll find out at the upcoming RAW Supershow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Shakedown moves Spoiler To Monday Night Raw Apollo Crews The Miz Maryse Dean Ambrose (Intercontinental Champion) Curt Hawkins Bray Wyatt Kalisto Heath Slater Rhyno Alexa Bliss Mickie James David Otunga on commentary The Revival from NXT To Smackdown Live Jinder Mahal Kevin Owens (United States Championship) Sami Zayn Shining Stars (Primo & Epico) Tamina Charlotte Flair Sin Cara Rusev Lana The New Day Byron Saxton on commentary Shinsuke Nakamura from NXT This was the first week I've watch the three main shows for a very very long time, and as such I can only assume the impact was lost on me, as it failed to excite at all. I found the spot with Strowman and Reigns pretty hilarious, not that it was terribly done or anything (by the numbers booking for a monster sure, but effective regardless), but the obviously empty stretcher being chucked over the edge in the parking lot was quite comical. NXT was interesting, Kimber Lee (Kimberley) was not quite squashed by Heidi Lovelace (Ruby Riot) which is a shame, but she looked in good shape. Biff (Oney Lorcan, a name that grows on me week by week) put on another really good losing effort, this time against the re-debuting Drew Mcintyre. I probably sound like a broken record, but I do hope they extend the show length and introduce a mid tier title, Biff would shine. Finally get to watch Best of the Best today, and those who watch NJPW will be able to confirm, but I hear Okada and Shibata put on an awesome match at Sakura Genesis, so I might try and watch that show too.

Demitri_C Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Thank god AJ stayed on smackdown. Looks like they have turned him as looks like they are going for a AJ Owens feud. i would gave gone for AJ vs orton tbh.

hogso Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Best of the Best didn't really live up to expectations, I'm becoming increasingly less fond of each Crist brother as their respective singles careers progress. Best match was Tremont / Pentagon dark, which was followed by the high point of the whole event - the announcement of Tremont v Onita in August! It'll be a huge moment in deathmatch history. One of the best current workers in the world against one of the legitimate legends. Anyone who ever watched the old FMW stuff featuring Cactus Jack, Mr Pogo, Terry Funk, Hayabusa, Goto and the rest will be familiar with the name, and all his crazy gimmick matches featuring explosions, barbed wire, piranhas, etc...

Villaphan04 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 a slightly interesting note: the WWE released a youtube video "Hostile Crowd reactions: WWE top 10" can be seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D96O3d3ynWc Spoiler They decided to leave out the two most hostile crowd reactions in recent memory (both against Reigns). I understand that he is a very good march seller, but he is the consistently most boo'ed superstar on the roster currently. To what lengths will the company go to 'protect' him?

Daweii Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I was surprised at the number one contender, but it does fit the Smackdown Live mentality of building up neglected talent. That said I can't see him winning the title, but he'll leave the title program with Orton a bigger deal than he entered it for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Spoiler Jinder Malhal? Jinser frigging Malhal? My god who the hell came up with that stupid decision? The guys been beaten by every wrestler on the roster! Yet you have Corbin, AJ, ziggler or even bloody Charlotte would be a better alternative than him. Backlash will be one of the worst ppvs in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) The result of that No.1 contender's match was certainly unexpected and generated a ton of heat, so for that reason I can't really call it stupid, or a bad decision. It is a bit odd that the US Title match will seem a lot more glamorous in comparison, though. My brother and I are going to the WCPW show in Cov on 30th April. It's the Mexican leg of the World Cup Qualifiers, participants such as Rey Fenix, Pentagon Jr., El Ligero, Rey Mysterio (who must be about 50 now? (having looked it up, he's 'only' 42, ha)) and a bunch of others. What's got us interested enough to attend is Drew Galloway/McIntyre. Ofc he has re-joined WWE, but he is being allowed to complete his previously made bookings. He's WCPW's Heavyweight Champ, who has two shows left with them - 29th April in Newcastle, and 30th in Cov. WCPW announced the other day that to stack the odds as high as possible against him retaining and to stop him 'taking the title to America', he has to defend it in a 30 man rumble In Newcastle. If he manages to retain, then they'll take 'extreme measures' at the Cov show. They book their shows pretty well, and I would be quite surprised if he doesn't retain and they do something a bit special for his final WCPW match, having dropped that bit of foreshadowing. Very much looking forward to it, haven't been to a live Wrestling show for a good few years. Edited April 20, 2017 by hogso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
