K-Nection Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 This! Last night's RAW was no good IMO and that's too bad because I needed it to sell me properly on Money In The Bank which it did not do, aside from the Owens Neville NXT Title match the show didn't do anything for me. I know I have the network and I will watch MITB eventually but this Sunday I won't be watching live due to there being another PPV going on at the exact same time that carries more interest for me. Over saturation is killing them!!!! I know they are trying to sell the network but if they can't properly build the PPVs then its going to cut the legs out from under them!

Self Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Over saturation is killing them!!!! I know they are trying to sell the network but if they can't properly build the PPVs then its going to cut the legs out from under them! 3 hours and over-saturation actually hurts the network. Why would casual consumers pay for more content when there are so many hours available for free? 3 hours is purely down to their television deals. Doing a 3 hour show earns them more money than a 2 hour show, and I can't imagine the costs are all that much more. Financially it's a tremendously positive deal... even if it's hurting them creatively. I'd prefer a 2 hour show (actually, even that's too long for me) but it's a business. Unrelated note, Marcus Louis is my new favourite wrestler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smurphy1014 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 That guy has the look of a serial killer! They should give him an epic heel push based on that alone! He looks like the character Clevon (played by Michael Berryman) in The Devil's Rejects only shorter. His new look and mannerisms would fit in with the Wyatts.

jwt13 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 So it looks like WWE is buying out Evolve/WWN and will make it a pre-NXT developmental. So in Baseball terms it would be the AA to NXT's AAA to WWE MLB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 They aren't buying anything but it's looking like a very close working agreement and maybe their shows on the network HHH has already talked about needing smaller shows for rookies so that they wouldn't be compared to the likes of Zayn and Owens while they have just started wrestling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do buy WWN they are getting EVOLVE/Shine/and one more. But even if they "buy" them they can still let whoever is running it run it the way they have been just give them the production ablity of a bigger company and the Network.

Mammoth Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 After seeing Finn Bálor's "Inner Demon" video on WWE.com, I wouldn't be surprised if they're gearing him up to win the NXT Championship when he faces Owens in Japan. They must surely be thinking about taking the title away from Owens due to his call-up to the main roster and Bálor should get a really good crowd reaction from the Japan audience, after making his name in the country.

milamber Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 NXT Review: Ryder & Mojo vs Jobbers - Solid match. They seem to have improved Mojo's awful moveset. He'd make a better heel, though. Finn Balor - Cool demon promo but his monontone delivery is still a problem. Emma vs Blue Pants, Becky vs Jessie - Solid matches but Leva & Jessie both looked a little clunky (for lack of a better word). Breeze vs Bull - "Bull is gorgeous!" chants and Breeze doing laps of the ring to make Bull gassed made for a fun squash match. Bull's segment with Regal was good. Corbin vs Dawkins - Yet Another Squash. Dawson vs Joe - Solid match but too short. The Muscle Buster is an awesome looking finisher. Owens was good on commentary. I enjoyed their mic exchange. Verdict: Solid show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would have been Itami's spot with Owens retaining before dropping to Zayn later in the year but 2 injuries and the call-up have changed that. Finn's the best choice they have for NXT Champion right now. I'd like to see him turn heel as champ and feud with Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 They have officially ruined my favorite PPV of the year. Worst MITB in history tied with Cena's with a terrible result. Nikki winning in a Russo finish. That was a clear DQ. Also a shit DQ on a shit match. Last thing I need is Owens being buried up next.

CQI13 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Why don't they just have Wyatt win matches that way? Lights go out and he's outside the cage when they come back on; lights go out and he's holding the briefcase when they come back on; lights go out and his opponent is out cold getting pinned when they come back on? Might as well take full advantage of the goofiness of the gimmick at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
