Re: The Official WWE Thread - Part 27

[S]

I dont feel the hype to watch it though.Just random characters everywhere.

In fairness if i never watched WWE before i'd feel the same way.

Everyone is random to somebody at some point

WWE's bigger crowds/arena's,louder pops,more hype and buildup of the main show would captivate the non-wrestling fan more you would think.
Only hardcore wrestling fans would say NXT is a better product overall because they follow wrestling week in week out.

In fairness though, i never watched it until a couple of months ago. Basically watched every takeover(ppv) over the last 12 months and i got hooked lol.

Didn't really follow it until M99 and Cascia hyped it on here and i thought compelled to watch it during my free one months trial

Watching a RAW from 1997. Goldust dumps his wife one week, next week comes out as a transvestite. Prime Russo.

Just like how GL hipsters hype EL over the CL

Actually this is a very apt comparison here.

[zizzle]

But the EL is actually better sometimes

[Onyx]

From 17:00 min onwards.

Russo compares Enzo to Zayn/Owens. Why Enzo is more of a star etc. Completely nailed it imo.

[M99]

So good to have him back That laugh

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Dat sign

Found MT's reddit account.

[Onyx]

Not my account. But I want that guys email.

I've watched Enzo's return on Monday numerous times. Just so captivating. His charisma is just insane, puts 90% of the roster to shame imo.

[Kaladin]

Owens destroyed Cole

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

He's a treasure ffs.

Convinced Ambrose is winning this btw, although i'd love it if Owens did

[zizzle]

Im considering hopping on the owens bandwagon, his mic work is more convincing now. I still hate his finisher though

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Out of curiosity what don't you like about it?

Personally i think it's great. It's unique enough, fits his character perfectly and looks impactful.

[zizzle]

I feel like his promos are sometimes choppy, but his assholish humor is making up for it. As for his finisher it's just another powerbomb that doesnt always look good, it can be predictable at times, and it requires an assist from the opponent.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

I meant the finisher, i already know your opinion on his promos

It's not just another powerbomb though he pushes them up and drops them back down from a greater height than a usual powerbomb.

Also i'd argue most finishers require an assist from an opponent tbf, most finishers look so much better when the opponent is selling it properly and so on.

[zizzle]

True but it's probably because owens doesnt look like he's strong enough to do it on his own.

[silver]

He uses the (6 star) frog splash as well. That's better.

[zizzle]

Actually that's a better finisher from a believability stand point

[M99]

He should add his 450 splash as a finisher.

[M99]

Vince's resistance to Owens is starting to break down.

Del Rio wants a heel push, but the big obstacle there is Triple H who holds the firing/rehiring against him.

AJ Styles has really impressed Vince and Triple H.

At the moment, the word internally is that Vince and Dunn will play a heavy role in Smackdown - USA want Dunn there running a show close to the one that's currently working. Ryan Ward's input is valued, but his big involvement will come from his familiarity with the brand's NXT talent.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

I imagine his resistance is because he's fat lol.

[zizzle]

I'm afraid we're not getting the smackdown we want, rather a shorter version of Raw with no star power.

[silver]

Finally watched Raw and I have no idea what MT is talking about regarding Enzo's "amazing" return pop. That was just his normal pop followed by the normal crowd response to Road Dogg's Enzo's catchphrases.

Seth "generic heel" Rollins got a much bigger reaction...

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

You mean MT says things he wants to believe as facts even when they are painfully wrong?

I'm shocked.

[Casciavit]

He's a treasure ffs.

Watch it be a smokescreen for a charisma vacuum like ADR. I remember last year how everyone and their mother thought Reigns would win MITB, and then Sheamus won it
