LoganRodzen Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Anyone watch Breaking Ground? I thought it was exactly what Tough Enough should have been (minus judges). Planning to check it out in a little bit actually. Looks like it'll be fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganRodzen Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 That would make a lot of sense now Kane is supposedly 'fired'. It just wouldn't make sense to me as a traditional SS match. The Wyatts do have a team, but Taker is supposedly a loner. Would it be 4 on 2? Or will we see a Edge and Christian get back for a reunion (wishful thinking )? 'Biker' Taker was in the SS2001 match, but I don't recall seeing him in any other (though I missed quite a few years of WWE). My first thought was Reigns / Ambrose / Kane / Taker vs The Wyatt Family.

Mootinie Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Lesnar vs Taker (HIAC) - MOTY contender. I'm interested in hearing why you think that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Raw was great. Lots of good matches and a double dose of New Day. http://33.media.tumblr.com/26b42a2aeb5501a08bc9ae0a173cf426/tumblr_nwute1HSsd1rnjfjfo1_r1_400.gifhttp://31.media.tumblr.com/106df91916c3c89e769da0348a026c63/tumblr_nwuwh7eZ9x1rnjfjfo1_r1_400.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I'm interested in hearing why you think that. It was the best HIAC match I can remember seeing since I started watching 8 years ago. It also wasn't a typical PG era match, just 2 legends beating the bloody crap out of each other, which was refreshing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think it was a bad match or anything, just a little flat and uneventful at times. I don't think it was anywhere near MOTY level either.

I don't think it was anywhere near MOTY level either. To me it was one of those rare matches (like Cena vs Rock 1 and Beast vs Streak) that are technically weak matches but the storyline, hype and crowd reaction make them memorable. The blood and headshots (as much I cringed at seeing them) also really helped with this match as did Brock pounding Taker in Hulk mode, hitting the revenge low-blow and ripping up the mat. For the record, I do prefer the more technical matches involving the likes of Zayn, Sasha, Cesaro and Owens but occasionally I enjoy the typical sports entertainment style matches or brutal slugfests when WWE nails them.

Hive Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 'Biker' Taker was in the SS2001 match, but I don't recall seeing him in any other (though I missed quite a few years of WWE). He debuted in a SS match back in... hmmm... 1992, was it? To me it was one of those rare matches (like Cena vs Rock 1 and Beast vs Streak) that are technically weak matches but the storyline, hype and crowd reaction make them memorable. The first Cena vs. The Rock was great, but the Lesnar vs. Undertaker WrestleMania match was horrible. Really, really poor. I'm shocked to see you list it as something special. A shocking finish alone does not make a match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm shocked to see you list it as something special. A shocking finish alone does not make a match. Yea that match was absolutely terrible. Undertaker apparently got a concussion after the first F5 and it went from Taker calling the match in the ring to Brock trying to call it. Taker was barely coherent for the rest of the match so it almost looked like an ugly mauling rather than a competitive wrestling match.

Jaysin Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 He debuted in a SS match back in... hmmm... 1992, was it? Undertaker debuted at Survivor Series 1990. He won his first world title at Survivor Series 1991. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Undertaker debuted at Survivor Series 1990. He won his first world title at Survivor Series 1991. Yes, but we're talking about the specialty match, not the event. But you're absolutely right: apparently he was in the Million Dollar Team back then, winning from the Dream Team (featuring, obviously, Dusty Rhodes).

Yeah, a shame about that concussion ruining what should have been a great and defining match for both. Undertaker debuted at Survivor Series 1990. He won his first world title at Survivor Series 1991. I was unsure if it was '92 or '91, didn't think it was as far back as '90. How time flies... but those sure were the days, back when he was purple/grey. Apart from The Undertaker and The Rock, has WWF/E debuted any other big players at SS?

Taker was part of the all americans team in 1993 had his own team in 95 and was on team WWF in 01 so 4 matches all together Apart from The Undertaker and The Rock, has WWF/E debuted any other big players at SS? Kurt Angle was one I remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Roguey Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Would The Shield count as a memorable SS debut? They didn't debut in a match but they made one hell of an impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm shocked to see you list it as something special. A shocking finish alone does not make a match. My memory's not the best but If I recall, Cena and Rock both hit their 5 moves of doom and did a few rest holds. Hardly better than an average Raw main event but the hype elevated the match. With Brock & Taker I wasn't expecting anything but an ugly match anyway and I was super excited because I felt like for the first time Taker's streak was actually in jeopardy. Undertaker debuted at Survivor Series 1990. He won his first world title at Survivor Series 1991. The 25th Anniversary of the Undertaker is definitely something they should highlight heading into SS.

Mootinie Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 The 25th Anniversary of the Undertaker is definitely something they should highlight heading into SS. They already are. They aired numerous ads to that effect during the HIAC PPV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crychon Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Gable & Jordan vs. Gargano & Ciampa on NXT this week was a really solid tag match, especially for a non-event match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Scott Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 It was a great match, I have to say I am becoming more of a fan of Gable and Jordan than Enzo and Cass. I agree. Recently went to an NXT live event, and Gable/Jordan vs Mechanics was an AMAZING match! Really liking those two teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crychon Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I think if Gable and Jordan keep on going the way they have been, they could be one of the best WWE tag teams in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gargano & Ciampa are the best enhancement talent in NXT now that Breeze has been promoted. Gable is insanely good but I'm really digging JJ as well. http://31.media.tumblr.com/e667851dff32a1c7492b383bc9d2bc71/tumblr_nwysbaLZfz1sbzhteo1_400.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The latest Madusa shoot: I know you're a smart girl, @realpaigewwe and you can wrestle however your little manipulation in the locker rooms lately from what I have heard shows your intelligence of your shoe size. You don't think that I don't know what you did to @natbynature ? You see you hated the bond that transpired between Nattie and I during my WWE Hall of Fame induction because you know as well as everyone my belt is the legit women's championship belt and you want it. Just think of the notoriety and all the publicity that you would get if you finally held this title. Wake the hell up Paige are you kidding me? I know you have your eye on the real women's championship. I still hold this title and I have never been beat. How do you know what I've been doing lately.... training maybe ? With a little bit of boxing maybe ? Perhaps I've been warming up my German Suplex so I can drill your happy ass once and for all into the mat so you can learn a valuable lesson. You're not fooling anybody with that backwards British accent, untrusting pinky shaking, freaky FAKE laugh saying you're everyone's friend again. I've seen many of your kind in this business and they all have come and gone..... Watch your back Paige when you hear some loud rumbling you better be looking over your shoulder and constantly✌️ Anything that breaks the monotony of divas tag matches is fine by me, as well as replacing the butterfly belt.

Warhawk8492 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I am still annoyed that Roman Reigns got anther title shot. They have already done Reigns Vs Rollins. Not to mention Reigns sucks both in the ring and on the mic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
