Re: The Official WWE Thread - Part 34

Putting people over isn't going to do much unless the superstar is good enough and already over. Just hurts his credibility losing constantly for no reason. It has to come at the right moment against someone who is on their way up. Bryan's been losing to Jey Uso, NXT wrestlers and cruiserweights.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

I don't think he has, it's mainly Cesaro and Jey Uso (which was obviously done to further the Reigns stuff)

Unless there's some i missed, which is possible as i only really look at highlights so i could have missed it.

[silver]

Its Daniel Bryan. He could lose to Carmella, still challenge Reigns and be over. He's the most naturally over superstar (face or heel) since John Cena.

[Onyx]

Yeh he's lost clean to Adam Cole, Nakamura, Zayn, Cesaro, Kofi and Uso. He's been working quite a lot of midcard programs too, looks like he's happy with that role. He's trying to help these guys, but a win on its own isn't a magic wand that's going to elevate any of those guys to the top. Especially if he's losing all the time, it doesn't mean much eventually beating him. Putting someone over is usually the icing on the cake for a superstar who's already over, super talented and is on the verge of establishing themselves.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Tbf at the time he lost to Adam Cole he was NXT champion during a survivor series build where NXT invaded.

Not exactly some random jobber loss. The only one i consider weird and not part of the larger storyline purpose is probably Cesaro.

Unless they are actually pushing him for like the first time ever but i doubt it.

[Casciavit]

Anyone else hyped for Revolution tomorrow?

Exploding barbed wire deathmatch ffs.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

I have zero interest in the main event.

Tag titles, ladder match and street fight will probably all be good tho.

[Casciavit]

Didn't know you were anti-hardcore matches

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Didn't know you were anti-hardcore matches

I'm anti death matches lol, the violence loses all meaning because of how stupid they are.

Normal hardcore matches are fine, also i know everyone disagrees with me on this but I've never been a Moxley fan.

[Onyx]

Apparently a big signings going to debut on the PPV. Might start watching if it's Punk, Cena or Lesnar etc.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

It won't be any of those lol.

But the fact they've convinced people that's a possibility means the marketing worked.

It's probably Christian.

It's an exploding match, so it's not going to make sense. But visually it's gonna be a spectacle. I mean when I was younger I'd go out of my way to watch Onita's garbage matches on youtube lol, but nowadays, I'm not THAT into them. Even if two of my favorite wrestlers weren't involved, I'd still be interested because of that stipulation alone. It's like the first time ever in a modern big American wrestling company. It'll have everyone on the edge of their seats.

Yeah, it's not going to be any of them.

Tony Khan overhypes everything.

[Onyx]

Apollo Crews finally has a gimmick. Changed his accent too.

Why is he pretending to be from Wakanda lmaooooo

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

He's been really good for a couple of months now.

A lot of people on Smackdown have been, probably helps that Roman has unreal momentum so everyone else on the shows gets brought up by his existence.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Also another thing that helps although this isn't technically about the TV show, that Talking Smack is hosted by Heyman and he's doing an absolutely brilliant job of bringing out the characters of everyone on that show.

Even Cesaro cut a great promo on there

They honestly should reference it more on television, would help the talent so much.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

With that said Raw is still a steaming pile of garbage.

[RealGunner]

who is the champion on RAW?

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Lashley (one of the few bright spots) MVP has done wonders for him, basically been his Heyman.

[Casciavit]

That ending ffs

[Onyx]

Surprise signing was Christian, was going to be either him or Angle. Also using his old TNA theme, his best theme imo.

They still need a big money draw though.

[silver]

Wait Lashley is champion? What happened to Drew?

At least NXT is interesting with Finn Balor and Undisputed Era internal war.

Read the results to AEW Revolution. There are far too many wrestlers on the roster. Will probably catch the deathmatch later to find out what everyone is talking about.

[silver]

Ok first Sting, then Christian Cage. Was it Kurt Angle that came next?

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Wait Lashley is champion? What happened to Drew?

Basically at the last PPV Lashley attacked Drew allowing Miz to cash in and then the next raw Lashley beat Miz.

I suspect they're gonna do Lashley vs Drew at Mania.
