WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion - Part VII

[Jack Richards]

Sick of Reigns coming in and saving Usos. I mean its rinse and repeat. Usos getting slaughtered (really only has 1 move which is the kick to the head) and Reigns comes in to save the day.

Can't wait till Edge or KO get the belt.

 

[WA ROO]

Umm wtf Apollo??????

 

[RossFC]

If crowds were around, they'd be crapping on Apollo's fake accent right now.

WWE bans slapping the leg/thigh when throwing kicks

In this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer discussed that WWE was cracking down on wrestlers for slapping their thigh or leg when throwing

www.f4wonline.com

honestly I never really notice the leg slapping. either that or I'm not actively looking for it.

The only real time I recall it being brought to my attention was Ciampa doing the leg slap when doing a running boot to Angel Garza's pants in NXT. Mainly because so many people on twitter etc said how dumb it was.

Randy Orton does it all the time with the punt

That Shane McMahon promo was an absolute mess. For about 10 minutes he had no idea what he was talking about. It felt like yet another segment that was blatant stalling on a 3 hour raw.

 

[Lynchy04]

Another horrible episode of RAW. Don’t want to see Shane McMahon wrestling at mania. FFS they had Guluk Ricochet and Retribituion on main event but had 2 or 3 Shane segments.....

Gave away another Drew/Sheamus match and the AJ vs Orton had no feel to it.

Dont like the Orton / Bliss stuff.

AJ is lost at the moment. They need something meaningful for him.

The entire RAW brand and roster is so flat , every single week RAW feels the same. There’s no one you really have to tune in for and the ones that you want to see like Drew or AJ for example it’s not that exciting because the rest of the roster is meh.

Where is Keith Lee?

 

[The Casey Cat]

Where is Keith Lee?

Come on now why do we want him on the show when we can have two near complete repeat matches of last Monday, Shane and Braun talk through two separate segments at two seperate times about um.... stuff and Charlotte, Mandy and Dana have an equally awkward and fake looking backstage interview?

Would love AJ turn face and have THB go after him.

He gets a shot at the Tag Titles at Mania and needs a partner, spends the next 3 weeks calling out Samoa Joe while getting beat down by THB every week.

Joe rips the headphones off goes nuts and the Tag Title Match is on at Mania.

But your right RAW has been rubbish, THB has been the best thing on there for a while now, beyond Drew and Lee before he was injured there isn't anything to be excited about AJ is in no mans land , and a lot of the talent has nothing interesting about them right now.

Vince can't book a show (in fairness no one could for 3 hours) to save his life. Only reason SD can be decent is greater creative control for Reigns (and therefore Heyman) and Bryan. Generally don't bother with Raw and only did last two weeks as had work off.

Don't watch it, not worth it.

Smackdown on the other hand is great best show out there possible

I don't watch impact but if I had to rank them in enjoyment I get or ability to not fast forward most of it would be

Smackdown
Dynamite
NXT

Daylight
RAW

Nailed it

Nailed it

Bully speaking truths.

Wow that was a really strong promo. Hope they give her a shot

Vince probably thinks it was Maria cutting that promo

She will be getting jobbed to Lana by the end of the month.

 

[Chops18]

Thought it was one of the better Raws of late considering how bad it has been. More Drew vs Sheamus please..
