Re: The Official WWE Thread - Part 6

[Tomwin Lannister]

Everything just feels like it's massively geared utowards Summerslam atm

Being WWE's 2nd top PPV and all.

[RealGunner]

Yea it will get better after SummerSlam

[Tomwin Lannister]

Not to mention SS itsself should be awesome


Like I said everything that's happening right now, literally everything is at the point where it stops just sort of actually picking up, leaving it for SummerSlam.

Kind of like a bunch of cliffhangers all at once.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Lmfao Brocks upper arm is nearly as wide as that woman.

[RealGunner]

Will be hard to support Punk over Brock

Maybe i am gonna side with Brock

[Tomwin Lannister]

Not sure tbh

Love Punk but he's much better as a heel, and it's not even close

I'm a fan of Braaawk, yet you all know my opinion on part-timers. Two feet in or two feet out pls.


But the x-factor is Heyman, so I reckon i'll side with them.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Cesaro is a very talented wrestler

He should do well in a few years time.

[RealGunner]

Where did MT go

[Tomwin Lannister]

No idea

You all abandoned me for like an hour


Big E ffs, can't wait until he's a main eventer.

A very big man who can wrestle.

[Onyx]

Had a look at a total divas clip and ended up watching both the first 2 episodes. Pretty decent show.

Back to watch the RAW ending.

mt WTF LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL


K imma watch it as well then

[Tomwin Lannister]

MT...

I... wow.

[Onyx]

Doesn't look like there's a big storyline this year.

[RealGunner]

They ran out of ideas. Simple as that.

[Tomwin Lannister]

There's plenty going on, just at Summerslam

It's always the same in a build up before a major PPV


They set everything up to conclude at the PPV, think about RAWs before WrestleMania. Most of the main events end with nobody picking up a clean win and the main eventers staring each other down or whatever.

The last couple of RAWs before WWE's 2nd best money maker were never going to be anything except a small continuation in the storylines


We have CM Punk (The joint main man in WWE) Vs Braaawk


Cena Vs Bryan, who is a legit threat to the title. Also with the McMahons and HHH getting involved

We possibly have Kane turning from a jobber into a monster for the first time since the early 2000's and feuding with the Wyatts. Might be in the 5th ever Inferno match too.

And a few others to that.


Plenty of stuff going on.

[Onyx]

Not a major storyline though like the past few years.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Define major


You can't have a CM punk leaving WWE type storyline all the time otherwise it just ends up downplaying the future events.

[Onyx]

Punk turning heel last year on the Rock, Punk shoot promo in 2011 and storyline, Nexus in 2010 etc.

Right now it's just a generic feud for the WWE title. Nothing that would want to make you tune in the following week.

[Tomwin Lannister]

That's an opinion though

Like I said, you can't constantly have all these majory storylines. They mostly involve the WWE being in turmoil and panic.

If that's the case all the time and there's ALWAYS an active storyline where the WWE is in trouble whether it be people ganging up and ruining every main event or the main man threatening to walk out. It would become boring. Like anything would if it's repeatedly done.

So they need to keep it fresh and different. Can't have a major 'WWE in trouble' storyline running too often.

[Onyx]

WWE isn't the best nowadays in terms of characters, storylines, being edgy etc, so to compensate having those major storylines would be a good idea.

Even if the current Bryan/Cena storyline was more intense, edgy and controversial, then that could possibly suffice.

But it's pretty much just them hugging each week at the end of the show, with a generic promo at the start.

Nothing that would want to make you tune in the following week, because it's not really a storyline.

[Tomwin Lannister]

I agree there needs to be more edgy characters, but it's not an easy thing to do

but I do think there's plenty going on atm

[RealGunner]

Missed the last hour last night so just watched it.

Kofi Jobston is back. Actually got few cheers lol.


Btw did Orton just turn heel last night? it looked like it.

[Onyx]

Nah don't think just walking away would turn him heel. He's a heel type face anyway, so him turning heel will have to be something big. Even punting Bryan/Cena would probably still get him cheered as a face.

[zizzle]

of course he is turning heel, you've got 2 baby faces in the title picture so the third guy has to be a heel

[M99]

Kane was not a jobber for 10 years, he was World Heavyweight Champion at one point. He was a monster majority of the decade.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Wtf made a big post talking about Kane and it disappeared.



I'll make it short this time, basically Kane himself has said he's happy just putting new talents over and helping others be 'pushed' over himself.

That's what he himself does. His biggest 'push' in the last 8 or so years was when he put the mask on again, and he was burried by Cena.


Before that, his last push came when he was carrying a small satchel around with him. And he ended up feuding with Rey Mysterio. Kane lost about 3 or 4 times in a row to him and that was that.


He's been jobbing a long, long time. Not in the mould of 3 man band or whatever, but he's a big name mid-carder who pushes talent through.
