Darth Krawlie 5,696 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Well they had to use up the briefcase before WrestleMania. They couldn't have that hanging over their heads, especially with another MITB show a month or two later. They never had any plans for it this year anyway--they gave it to Otis, for fuck's sake. I'd be all right if they retired the concept for a while, honestly. Link to post Share on other sites
Metropolis 701 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 They made a mistake thinking Otis would be a singles draw. They should have had him use the MITB to get Heavy Machinery the tag titles. I think Lashley was on a path to face McIntyre at Mania anyways. They've basically done what they did a couple of years ago with Lashley. They have him win the IC Title so that Finn Balor could have the win at WrestleMania. Looks like it's happening again. Link to post Share on other sites
Metropolis 701 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Now that i think about it, I'm not sure Drew McIntyre should get the belt back at WrestleMania. McIntyre giving Lesnar the claymore would have brought Raymond James Stadium down. A half full stadium won't have the same energy. Also it would ruin the tear Lashley has been on. Have Lashley keep the belt and build McIntyre back up for a win at SummerSlam. That way you build the anticipation and you don't have Lashley look like a place holder. Win win. Link to post Share on other sites
Metropolis 701 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 How do you make NXT women's tag titles when you don't have enough tag teams for the WWE women's tag titles? Link to post Share on other sites

Metropolis 701 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 It will be interesting to see how these WrestleMania tickets go tomorrow. I read in cagesideseats that they are only selling tickets in pods of up to six. Hopefully that means a pod can contain two. Link to post Share on other sites
Metropolis 701 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 In the presale looking at tickets. Ringside seats $5000-6000. Link to post Share on other sites
Metropolis 701 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Wow. Big E speared Apollo Crews through the tires onto the floor! Link to post Share on other sites
Metropolis 701 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Not really looking Edge right now. I'm thinking Daniel Bryan is going to be added to make it a triple threat match. Link to post Share on other sites

Metropolis 701 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 The WWE kills me with breaking up factions/teams way before they need to. Retribution needed to be broken up. That wasn't working. The Hurt Business was going strong and now they're done. Them, the Iconics, Heavy Machinery, i just don't get it. Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Darth Hunter 221 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 What gets me is them doing it for no reason. Word was they broke up the Iconics to give a singles push to Peyton Royce. But they never did. They just continued putting her in tag matches with other wrestlers like Lacey Evans. Link to post Share on other sites
Metropolis 701 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Just like Otis. I don't get it.  I stand by what i said in the other thread. Io had been a much better champion that Rhea Ripley. I think she probably loses at Take Over against Gonzalez, but man she has been entertaining. She probably makes it to the main roster in the next few weeks.  Link to post Share on other sites
Metropolis 701 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 They've got to end Jax and Baszler's title reign. I can't keep watching Shayna constantly taking the pin. Link to post Share on other sites
Metropolis 701 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Raquel Gonzalez is my WWE crush, but it is sad to see Io lose the belt. Great match. Link to post Share on other sites
Metropolis 701 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 So do Adam Cole and/or Io Sharai show up this week or in the next few weeks? They have to be called up. Link to post Share on other sites
Metropolis 701 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Okay maybe Benjamin/Alexander are poised to he buried. The Raid is back! Link to post Share on other sites
Metropolis 701 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I think something went wrong in the Ripley-Asuka rematch. It just got weirdd there towards the end. Link to post Share on other sites

Metropolis 701 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 They also released Samoa Joe. THAT i don't get. Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Krawlie 5,696 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 That's the only one that bums me out. It sucks for the others of course, but I've always been such a big fan of Joe. Link to post Share on other sites

Brett 244 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Regarding Backlash: I think WWE writers are starting to equate delayed gratification with good story. All title retentions except for one feel-good tag-team win where the Mysterios had already beaten Ziggler twice. Yay. It was all entertaining on a technical level, the in-ring talent is top notch right now, but good lord do I not care where any of these title stories are going at this point. The prime example being the Asuka/Flair/Ripley match... really fun but the ending killed it. Let Asuka out of being a third wheel and start wrestling other people, please. Â Also: I wasn't really paying attention, but I'm not sure why I was (in that moment) supposed to care about whatever was going on with Seth Rollins at the end... considering he's spent the last few months getting clowned on by Cesaro.

Darth Krawlie 5,696 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Not that I thought Cesaro had a chance in winning but man I'm tired of Roman Reigns. This is a great gimmick for him but it's past time for him to lose. Link to post Share on other sites
Tank 3,527 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 So what do you guys think of the WWE fully embracing the death of keyfabe? They really held out, but since the WWE network debuted they've been going deeper and deeper into behind the scenes docs. No doubt it was partially a decision to provide tons of new content, but it seems like they are going hard now. I am actually enjoying some of these docs and interviews more than the actual product these days. Seeing Stone Cold ask Sasha Banks questions is a lot of fun as I see them from completely different worlds. The ultimate breakage is of course Taker showing full access to his life and reality now that he has retired. Link to post Share on other sites
