Wrestling Thread 6: It's Poppy • Page 161

Sami finally winning gold and Gulak/Bryan were damn great. I honestly didn't watch the rest.

 

Shayna/Becky will be one of the worst matches on the WM card

 

That's fair; though if Shayna cant beat her at WM, then I genuinely have no idea who ever beats Becky. Short of them bringing Ronda back or just going whole hog, Charlotte beats Rhea, and then beats Becky.

 

When is Rousey back?

 

they have a lot of competition

 

She’ll probably show up raw after mania (or Smackdown cuz Fox)

 

Is the raw after mania ruined now because of Fox?

 

I mean yeah mania is gonna suck this year but I just don’t think their wrestling styles work together

 

Nah because the international fans will still make it awesome - they won’t be staying in Tampa for 3 extra days for that following Smackdown

if anything the go home Smackdown show will be wild cuz I bet a lot of international fans will fly in for that

 

How was chamber? Read results. Sami as champ. Shayna dominates. That's really it right?

 

Taker showed up

 

Not even a flinch from my anymore when it comes to taker. How sad is that. Good for aj styles. No doubt. I'm sure hes ecstatic to be wrestling undertaker at mania. But...

Now Jake the Snake on the other hand :)

 

Right? I couldn't be more indifferent about Undertaker making an appearance these days

 

I mean same but it’s still something that happened hah

 

The matches that were good, I cant say they have any effect on a WM story line in any obvious way. Maybe if Aleister is part of the Taker/AJ feud or gets an obvious opponent tomorrow night off the win.

The matches that were bad (SP v Rollins/Murphy, Womens chamber, IC title)..those were the ones that seem to set up marquee WM feuds

 

The women’s chamber match is one of the worst matches of the year - non sensical booking and Shayna is just so boring. The WWRE’s women division hasn’t been this bad since the diva era

none of the champs are compelling and there are zero good secondary feuds

Shayna is boring because main roster has no idea how to book her - if NXT couldn’t make her character compelling then nothing will

raws women match will easily be the worst women’s match of the might at mania

 

If they trot out like Lacey/Bayley or some nonsense 4-way, that one could easily top it.

 

That 4-way will have more personality and fun than the raw match

becky’s gimmick sucks right now - she’s really turning into her fiancée

 

So weird to think that AJ/Taker feels blah, but they found a way. The Goldberg thing really soured me...heading into WM, my favorite wrestlers (Bayley, Sami, KO) are all either champs or in major feuds, and yet I cant bring myself to care about their stories.

 

KO really needs a strong win at Mania

the only match I care about is Rhea’s match and the inevitable ladder match

hell im more excited for both ARMBAR matches than I am for any of the men’s heavyweight title matches

 

Honestly Becky vs shayna is the only match at mania I'm looking forward to. I guess drew doesn't line shayna. I did not know that ism

 

Shayna is a terrible promo and she's an okay wrestler but his style can get very stale. And if Kaire Sane and Asuka couldn't get watchable matches out of Shayna then Becky definitely won't.

despite my dislike of Becky's current schtick she is still hugely over with the crowd and the WWE is booked into a corner somewhat - Shayna beats Becky and that crowd is going to get hostile but if Becky wins then what's next for the women's division? Shayna basically buried the majority of Raw's women's roster tonight. the only legit women wrestlers on Raw are Becky Charlotte and I guess Shayna?

I've haven't been this low on the women's division since the diva era.

 

also the booking of the women's EC match didn't help Shayna or the other women at all - everyone ended up looking dumb.

 

Am I in the minority in that I don't like Becky? I haven't been following fan reactions much recently and have no clue if she's still super over or not.
