The amount of disrespect the Wyatts have been shown smh, *bleep* Vince

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Apr 04, 2016 10:44 pm

Well i agree Bray has everything really, which is why how they are using him is so *bleep* strange.

I'll be honest other than Luke i don't really care about the rest of the Wyatt family and wouldn't care less if they sacked them tomorrow lol. But Bray genuinely can be great.

by RealGunner Mon Apr 04, 2016 10:45 pm

I'd like bray a lot more if they change his gimmick and his promos starts being relevant

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Apr 04, 2016 10:48 pm

In fairness he's not talked for a while outside of The Rock promo, he said that himself over Wrestlemania weekend actually that he felt that his character needed a refresh and part of that was talking less.

I think i agree with him tbh, as it got to the point where he was doing a promo every single week and it got stale. But we'll see where it goes.

I don't like doing these sorts of comparisons, but if this was the attitude era, Bray would be a huge star and Reigns would be an enforcer for a stable at best.

Anti heros:

Ambrose
Bray Wyatt
Sandow

Heels:
Cena
Jericho
Miz

How good would the main event picture be if those were the alignments. Every one of those guys is entertaining, good on the mic, good character work and charismatic. The 4 most important traits for a main eventer.

So hot

I know you don't like him MT but Owens has all those traits.

Also are you ever going to stop believing in Sandow hmm

by Onyx Mon Apr 04, 2016 10:57 pm

Owens doesn't have a character though. Yeh sure he's a good talker, but no character. He's similar to what Barrett was when he first started out.

I think with guys like Bray and Sandow you have to ignore their booking and look at their traits/what they offer. Just because the WWE portray someone a certain way, it doesn't mean that's who they are or what they're capable of.

is raw at 12 or 1

He clearly does lol, it's the perfect example of how to be a trash talking heel. Don't see how you can say he doesn't have a character lol.

He's one of the most entertaining guys on the roster right now, i sort of semi understand some of the guys you don't like considering what you look for but Owens i don't get it.

yea might miss it. too tired

will watch it tomorrow

by Onyx Mon Apr 04, 2016 11:06 pm

'Trash talking' isn't really a character though imo. It's just a common trait of a heel.

Austin 'trash talked' yet he had the Stone Cold character.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Apr 04, 2016 11:07 pm

I'm probably going to do the same tbh.

by RealGunner Mon Apr 04, 2016 11:10 pm

You need to make sure wwe doesnt affect ur life. cant be missing work because of it

by Onyx Mon Apr 04, 2016 11:15 pm

Still remember school days. Watching PPV's on a Sunday night, going in with 4 hours sleep. Proud

by RealGunner Mon Apr 04, 2016 11:17 pm

never done that. always was able to watch a day after since spoilers were minimum

uni was great though. could skive a week and no one bats an eye

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Apr 04, 2016 11:18 pm

I never did it but my mate always did Laughing

Always used to ask him how, the mere idea of going into school with like 3 hours sleep was crazy to me.

by Kaladin Mon Apr 04, 2016 11:20 pm

Used to do that during WoW days, raids start at 12, finish 3, then 3 hrs of sleep, then off to school

by Firenze Mon Apr 04, 2016 11:23 pm

would always record PPV's and watch it with friends after school, never watched live back when wrasslin was prime, wasn't the era when ppl got the entire thing leaked hours before it aired, pretty sure I used to watch raw on fridays ffs

by RealGunner Mon Apr 04, 2016 11:27 pm

there were hardly any spoilers. Only way we knew how to find out what happened was wwe.com lol

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Apr 04, 2016 11:29 pm

Only way it could get spoiled back in them days if your friend told you the result during the day before you got home lol.

my prime for wrasslin was like 1999-2003 tbh, after that I followed it but even less than I do now until about 2006, then I went dark for a long time except reading news online when bored. I didn't even use the internet back in the wrestling days so everything was surprising. Proud

since we were all so young there wasn't anyone whose parents let them watch it live so no chance of spoilers unless some pleb watched the matches at like 6am before school which I did a few times Proud

seeing austin again last night reminded me of watching this on tape with the lads the day after it aired :bow:
