General WWE Discussion: Roman Weeps, Taker Retires, MNK/SAM/RDM LFP

[Kang]

Yeah I guess. But it depends how they pull it off. If they try to do it nwo style they will fail. If it's like Tommy Dreamer finally beating Raven they will have a winner.

[Exoduso]

For the first time in a very long time, they seem to have a good storyline going.
Hopefully they can keep it up, but yeah the DB beatdowns twice a week need to stop.

[NynJa]

Smackdown spoilers are out, GUESS HOW IT ENDS GUIYZE?!?

Spoiler: show

[Bryan] was struck with the title belt. Orton stood over Bryan to end the taping.

fwiw, it is a change of pace though in the grand scheme of things!

[Makwa]

I was at the Smackdown/Main Event tapings last night.

Spoiler: show

Yeah it ended that way. Audience went nuts because Bryan looked strong as fuck over the Shield at the end. Then when he stood on the ramped and YES'd for a while people near me(including myself) got uneasy. Out came Orton. Orton/Bryan for the title was advertised, so when the taping ended Vickie came out and teased Bryan up so he could wrestle. Bryan/Orton ended in a DQ after the Shield interfered. Turned into a four man beatdown before Kofi ran down only to get assaulted too. Ziggler ran down and was able to split them up, while Orton started to sneak off. Shield was getting the upper hand then RVD came down to make the save. Then Orton ran off leaving Shield vs the 4 guys to take Finisher spots ending with Rollins taking another YES knee and a frog splash to send the fans home happy. Was really fun, we had decent seats so I'm gonna see if my friends and I get on TV friday heh. Camera panned past us a lot. Really surprised at the pop for Curtis Axel til I remembered he's our HOMETOWN HERO. Nowhere near as loud as the YESes for Bryan. We also got the whole arena to clap along with the Wyatt theme when they came down for the Main Event against the Prime Time Players. Also, some people tried to get a 420 chant started for RVD lol.

[Melena]

So I already told my wife if Santa Clara is chosen for Wrestlemanina in 2015, we are going. I think Exo said he'd be in. Have to also save up for the following Raw as well.

[NynJa]

watching smackdown
Daniel Bryan "I know the answer to that... *crowd chants yes yes yes yes yes"... is yes" *crowd still chanting yes

Then the camera changes to crowd shot, where no one is chanting yes despite the audio dub

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS

[Tyrath]

I wish they would stop dubbing in crowd reactions to SD. It always sounds so fake and is kind of takes away from watching it.

[Kalmado]

Yeah that was pretty awkward. Watched a little of TNA last night and jesus that show has turned extremely bad. Tonight was supposed to be a PPV for the knockouts. The ads had Brooke Hogan and Tara and I think a few others that don't work there anymore.

[Makwa]

Worst part was Smackdown was loud, at least from where I was sitting. The cheering and booing was very muffled on TV. I didn't even hear me yell "BRING BACK RNN" to Orton. They edit it a lot. Curtis Axel got the hometown hero pop and it sounded like a hairdryer on TV. Real Americans also got a lot of people to join in for the WE THE PEOPLE chants, but it seemed muffled.

[NynJa]

Speculating, but probably all accurate:
They probably tried to edit out the Curtis Axel chants, because you know, they cant have someone thats going against one of their top faces get cheered, and it was just TOO loud, so they called Michael Cole and JBL to redo some of their lines and mention why he's being cheered.

I wonder when WWE is going to learn that even a top heel will get cheered in their hometown? Even at the time top DIVA heel beth phoenix got a rousing cheer from her home town of buffalo during a taping. Could always try for cheep mick foley heat and bury the city, but whos gonna believe it?

Iron Sheik interview with MTV.com on how to be a real man. Oh my god the quotes.

[Tyrath]

Assuming DB is finally gonna get some offense in today since the PPV is sunday. And I expect orton to retain so DB will probably need to get some offense in today.

[Anoat]

Assuming DB is finally gonna get some offense in today since the PPV is sunday. And I expect orton to retain so DB will probably need to get some offense in today.

Yeah, I am thinking DB is gonna get screwed yet again at the PPV so they can stretch it to Hell In A Cell and play it up that DB will finally get Orton in the cell with nobody to help him.

[NynJa]

Yes bray, I asked for a mid-match commercial

[NynJa]

I'm pretty sure the past 10 minutes has been 6 minutes of commercial, 4 minutes of wwe tv

[NynJa]

SANTINO MARELLA!!!!!!! HAHAH
wait, wheres jack swagger? could he not cross the border cause of his weed charge?

[Degenxerate]

Yeah seriously! I was more excited about this than Edge or anything else!

[Doombear]

Just when I started talking about how it seemed as if the camera crew had their shit together finally... ugh. Some pretty horrible camera work the last few shows. No "OMG LOOK HOW HARD HE HIT HIM THE CAMERA IS SHAKING!" BS again though, good riddance. The best part of last nights show, 2 minute long spin by Cesaro. Hell yes.

His matches with Sami "El Generico" Zayn have been stellar on NXT. Speaking of, I am reading that Zayn has popped up at a couple WWE Live events. I hope that means he is going to end up on RAW sooner than later. I can't see why he would need to stay in NXT for as long as some of the less experienced people down there. Sami Zayn month soon?

[Tyrath]

I really hope Cesaro gets a strong push again sometime soon. He's really too good in the ring to be wasted on doing comedy matches.
