Metropolis Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 You ever get the feeling a match ended the way it WASN'T suppose to? Bryan pinning Nakamura felt like it wasn't supposed to happen that way. I like the 24fps presentation. Don't know if they'll keep it that way.

Metropolis Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I love Drew McIntyre. Him and Ricochet put on a hell of a match. Ric Flair just have aged well. Health issues are a part of it, but I only see him stealing kisses at a retirement community now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Why am I, as a wrestling fan, supposed to give the single slightest **** about Cain Velasquez? All it is is another match between two non-wrestlers (Brock doesn't wrestle enough to be called a wrestler) for a championship neither of them deserve taking up time. I'm being a little harsher on Brock that I actually feel here, but good lord I'm tired of his ****, and there's absolutely nothing going on to make me even remotely interested in Velasquez. I don't watch UFC because I'm not interested in it, why would I be interested in a watered down version of it? I realize the point is to try to draw in non-fans, and in a situation like this fans like me aren't even considered. But it's fans like me that are tuning out regularly. It sucks because of how much talent WWE has--I think the overall talent level in all of pro wrestling is higher now than at any point in history, and WWE has hoarded a sizable portion of it. At this point, though, I only really care about NXT. Haven't been able to get into AEW yet and NJPW isn't easy enough to access. Maybe I should give Impact a try, it's been years since I've watched it and I hear it's been consistently good the last year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 That was my first take on Cain. From what I here though his work in AAA or Lucha Underground was actually decent. He's alright trying to become a full time wrestler. I'll give him a pass until I see him work. That crowd last night could give two shits. They were so quiet during that segment.

Darth Krawlie Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Not a bad promo by Shelton, though. For him, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Very food NXT last night. The turn after the main event was very well done and a total surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 & 6 years to go... Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I have seen footage of Velasquez in AAA, under a mask, and he was pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Sure but why should I give a shit about him, the only reason given is because he beat Brock in UFC. I don't give a shit about UFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 People assumed when Balor came back he would join the OC because of AJ Styles. He could back to NXT and crushes that. Now it's not exactly what we got, b but I forgot today Adam Cole was Bullet Club as well. That was a kick ass show. If go to a show but they're all sold out. Aftermarket Tix are crazy. With WrestleMania tickets going on sale next month, it's going to be a choice between Mania-Takeover or Mania-Raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Takeover-RAW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Lol. That would save me money. I have to admit I was surprised how good that Riddle-Grimes match was. I've only seen a handful of Cameron Grimes matches. I had no idea that match was possible between those two. It might have actually been better than the main event.

Darth Krawlie Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Not only will it save you money, you won't have to sit through a 412 hour long show with only overpriced beer to comfort you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metropolis Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I watched Backstage for the first time and thought it was pretty good. Especially the promo showdown. Of course I am a Booker T mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Okay so tickets go on sale the 15th of Nov. The HOF ceremony will be the prior Thursday, SmackDown will be Friday , Takeover Saturday, Mania Sunday, and Raw that Monday. Except for Mania, all events at Amalie Arena. I foresee a hole in my bank account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Telling you man, Takeover/RAW is the golden ticket. WrestleMania is too long, Hall of Fame is too long and has the potential to suck depending on inductees. Smackdown as a go home show isn't a bad bet either.

Metropolis Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I swear Riho makes Kairi Sane look like Hulk Hogan. They're the same height but Sane has a good 20-25 pounds on Riho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Well Mania is definitely one of the shows. Raw was the default second because it would be 8 the next night. If I do Takeover it's only a two hour show, but there are events around it I believe. Making for a long Saturday and Sunday. IDK. We'll see how it shakes out.

Metropolis Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 It's funny they put the Street Profits out there for the sole purpose to try and get the crowd into their entrance. The Profits do have a great entrance when you watch NXT. It's is very crowd interactive. It took the Raw crowd a while to get into Finn Balor's entrance so there is hope.

Metropolis Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 This is interesting. Survivor Series this year will be Raw vs SmackDown vs NXT. I'm still at work so I can't watch Crown Jewel. Not going to, but Lesnar and Fury won their matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metropolis Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 So a lot of the SmackDown wrestlers are stuck in transit from Saudi Arabia and won't make it tonight. Lol. It was ambitious for WWE to think they could make the turnaround, but they had to know this was possible and schedule a show without those wrestlers.
