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

**Anoat** · 2013-12-15 17:19

After RAW went off the air, Booker T came down and had a spin-a-roonie contest with random ass people like Titus O'Neil, Johnny Ace, Stephanie McMahon, and CM Punk (in his underwear for some reason, lol).

**Tyrath** · 2013-12-15 20:17

Still can't believe the WWE title match is the only stipulation match at TLC tonight. DId any others get added?

Handicap matches don't count.

**Tyrath** · 2013-12-15 22:44

I'll spoiler this since no one else seems to have been watching live.

Spoiler: show

**Kalmado** · 2013-12-15 22:46

Not mad at the ending, but overall another weak PPV

**Tyrath** · 2013-12-15 23:50

Eh, it was an enjoyable show. The handicap matches were fun. The tag match was amazing. The final match was pretty good too. Divas match was decent by divas standards. Only the Int. championship match and the random miz/kofi match were kinda lame.

**Anoat** · 2013-12-15 23:55

I'm really finding this news of a backstage altercation between AJ Lee and Michelle Beadle to be very entertaining, at least from the outsider perspective.

**Tyrath** · 2013-12-16 00:00

I like how everyone said she would be punished to the point that most gambling venues took her match off the betting list, yet she won anyway.

I'm almost wondering if it's staged. We all know how much WWE loves celebrity involvement in the Divas match at Wrestlemania.

**CrosisX** · 2013-12-16 11:34

My opinions of last night's PPV.

Punk Handicap match - Solid match. Notice they have been highlighting Roman a lot more. As in keep the camera on him a lot more than normal. Overall though what's the point of this storyline?

AJ Lee v Natalia - Pretty good match by diva standard. Not some botchamania crap. I'm a big fan of both of their work in the ring.

Big E v Sandow - It was alright. I'm still missing the old days when there was some actual buildup for IC matches.

Kofi v Miz - Good match but i could care less.

Fatal Four Way Tag - Match of the night. I really love the focus on tag team wrestling again. Seems like every tag team match at PPVs have been amazing.

D-Bry v Wyatts - The Wyatts are definitely strange but i want to see more from them. Just like the shield though seems they don't exactly have an agenda persay. At least not one that is stated yet. Match was decent.

Unification match - Good match not happy with the build. Shoulda been something for WM. I'll still give the storyline time to pan out more but something big has got to happen at WM.

**Tyrath** · 2013-12-16 12:07

Big E and Damien match did have a buildup. They've been having little segments during their matches on Raw and Smackdown for a few weeks now since Sandow beat Ziggler to become #1 contender.

Also I really think the Championship ascension ceremony on Raw was one of the best segments ever. So much unscripted shit happened on it. Here's an article that looks at some of it:

**CrosisX** · 2013-12-16 13:57

The Ascension Ceremony was really good just i think it should have happened the raw before wrestlemania.

**Tyrath** · 2013-12-16 14:02

I'm glad it didn't. I really don't want Cena vs Orton to be the WM main event for the title. I'm hoping for Bryan finally getting his revenge on Orton after winning the RR. But Punk will do as a second choice. No Cena please.

**Anoat** · 2013-12-18 00:40

I really liked the Bryan/Orton match from RAW, but for fuck's sake the bickering between JBL and Cole for the first 10 minutes annoyed the shit out of me.

JBL's annoying attempts at being the witty heel commentator are simply horrible and tacky. Hell I prefer Booker T's "shucky ducky quack quack" over JBL's constant sucking up to the authority, saying "I gotta get me one of those", and yelling "whats up" and "USSSSOSSSSS" into the mic during Truth/Usos' entrances.

**Kalmado** · 2013-12-18 07:20

My wife and I noticed a few times Lawler will make comments that have nothing to do with anything. That, on top of how bad Cole is, and JBL has been on a steady decline do not help an already weak product.

**NynJa** · 2013-12-18 10:47

I'm pretty sure thats JBL being told to tone his overly heel antics down, so he's just being overly sarcastic and annoying just because.

**Tyrath** · 2013-12-18 12:00

Yeah I think JBL has been sucking because he's had to adjust to what Vince wants him to do. He was pretty great when he first came back to announcing and was doing smackdown.

**Doombear** · 2013-12-18 15:00

I haven't had any issues with Cole since Jerry died. After that he really dropped the entire heel persona and is by far the least annoying one out there. He, more than anyone else, will call the event, push moves, hype storylines, etc. The other two, holy fuck shut up. I never ever thought I would be more annoyed at a commentator than I was at Jerry "Puppies" Lawler but JBL is the absolute worst.

And I know what you are going to say... "WHY DON'T YOU GO DOWN TO THE RING, DOOMBEAR, AND SAY THAT TO HIS FACE?!" Shut up JBL.

**Tyrath** · 2013-12-18 15:17

I'm wondering if maybe that is the idea. Heel Cole was obnoxious as fuck and everyone hated him. Now the same goes for JBL. Maybe thats what WWE wants.

**Lucavi** · 2013-12-18 16:07

Not missing Heel Cole; he was annoying as rancid cat piss. There always needs to be someone strong voicing the face or straight role. Cole is a much better face or straight commentator than a heel, because slimy or argumentative doesn't make for a good heal just because. Its too forced, too campy and too 1980's.

**Melena** · 2013-12-18 16:31

The only thing that really annoys me about cole is the constant "Vintage insert wrestler here" after doing a basic move.
