Wrestling Thread 5: FKA The Viking Experience • Page 82

Regarding the email I just got about Smackdown and the question of how to make their TV product better...

If I were booking the shows, I would banish the words "gain momentum" from ever being aired again. The idea of a match being to gain momentum heading into a big PPV match is the laziest, stakeless, bullshit excuse for a segment ever lol.

 

RAW was better I guess... They Bray stuff is great. At least the main event and what followed meant something toward the PPV.

The womens division is a total bore right now IMO. It's a mess.

So tired of Charlotte. And what's going on with the Women's tag titles?

 

god I love maffew

 

The mask reminds me of Goosebumps for some reason.

 

I'd have them stop with the fucking ridiculous camera work and have the commentators not speak to me like I've never seen a wrestling match before.

 

Tag titles are addressed on smackdown

 

Not a spoiler but tonight dragged quite a lot like holy shit

 

Very curious to see how aew does with this first ppv considering how expensive it is and how bad wwe is. Anything on what network they'll be on yet?

 

TNT was the most recent rumor. We should know this week since television upfronts are going on.

 

Should be tomorrow

 

WWE: Lars Sullivan has been fined $100k for his past racist and homophobic remarks.

Also WWE: please go squash these black dudes thanks

 

NBC did their presentation yesterday, so not going to be them.

 

Wouldn't they want to see all of them before they decided? I mean, unless someone offered them a fox type deal

 

The presentations are for advertisers, not for studios. It's the networks telling advertisers what their upcoming programming is going to be to try to sell ads.

 

Or better yet, speak to me like I’ve never seen a wrestling match. Call the moves. Reference past storylines like it matters. Tell me why this match is important and maybe where the participants may go next.

I can’t tell you the last time I heard a move called unless it was a finisher. But I also haven’t really watched in about 3 weeks.

 

Lol Becky/Ronda/Charlotte is nominated for best fight at the MTV movie and tv awards

 

If you've got 20 minutes free, honestly check this match out. It's just pure fun.

 

Daniel Bryan in a kick off show match is something I never expected to happen lol

 

Why the fuck are they protecting Mandy Rose with a fucking roll up finish

 

I think you know the answer to that question.

 

Holy crap, there are 11 matches for MITB? Feel bad for the 3-4 matches that go on from 9-10:30

 

Feel like the new norm is gonna be 9-12 matches per PPV. Especially now that they combined both shows and added an extra hour

 

I gotta say, when the Elite were rumoured to be leaving NJPW to set up their own promotion, I wasn't happy. Kenny's run with the belt was overshadowed by it and it really annoyed me. I would have preferred them to stay in New Japan. But those Road to Double or Nothing videos having better builds than anything in WWE right now has me very excited for their future.
