ampulator Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 It's a good sign that WWE thinks NXT isn't "House Show" level. You usually don't have hosue shows directly contradicting the bigger shows (except in rare occasions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakerNGN74 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Really liked the match between Daniel Bryan and Sin Cara tonight on Smackdown. However they really need to not do the lighting that they have been doing for Sin Caras matches. It makes the matches harder to focus on and takes away from the match in my opinion. I understand what they are trying to do by making his matches seem special but in my opinion it isn't working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching Smackdown during the commercials for Smallville and the lighting just seemed odd. What they could do is what they used to do way back when, turn the houselights down and just keep the ring lit up. Granted the people in the audience might have a hard time getting around (I cannot remember what it was like back then when they would light the arena like that.).<img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakin' Wade Barrett with the "It's been a pleasure workin' with you, Zeke." Cracked. Me. Up. Been quoting it at random all day ever since. Wade Barrett, all night, was absolutely pure gold. Since there's next to zero chance they actually let Christian beat Orton again for the title, I hope Barrett ends up being the guy to do so.</p><p> </p><p> SmackDown! actually has some wonderful talent on it for a change of pace, and I may have to keep watching for a bit. Barrett, Gabriel, Christian, Byran, Sin Cara, Sheamus, Kharma, Michael Cole doing an impression of the Bubble Boy from Seinfeld... I was pleased.</p><p> </p><p> Negatives from last night were short, but... Orton still sucks, and despite my best efforts I just can't understand why such a bland hack has managed to get so over, Khali currently is working the worst gimmick I've seen since TNA debuted The Johnsons, and clearly charisma skips a generation as Dibiase Jr, Cody Rhodes, and Randy Orton should all be kept away from microphones at all times. Rhodes has an awesome gimmick, but unfortunately he just ain't that amazing himself. Still, fun gimmick: more than what the WWE has given a lot of folks. Like Ted Dibiase, Jr.</p><p> </p><p> Oh, and Josh Matthews and Michael Cole sound freakishly similar.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> EDIT: woops, had Striker and Matthews confused for some reason.

Teh_Showtime Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 If you don't want Cody Rhodes near a mic, I think you might need a paper bag. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Roguey Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 When did Over The Limit turn into the I Quit spectacle? Because first Batista and now The Miz against Cena in an I Quit match is some really inventive booking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like all the people who act like the Royal Rumble always has and always will be won by a returning superstar just because it happened twice in a couple years.</p><p> </p><p> I digress. The "I Quit" match is clearly becoming John Cena's signature match because of his "I will not quit" mentality. It's his answer to Undertaker's Casket match and Triple H's Hell in a Cell. I guess if you considered those uninventive booking, this is too.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shape Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Yeah. I didn't see the Batista one last year but his one with Orton at Breaking Point 09 was superbly done. But the I Quit match really suit Orton's character as well, harder when it's Miz to have him conduct some kind of torture session, it'll be the same kind of thing just not as effective.

Zeel1 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 RYDER APPEARANCE~! Okay, I'm starting to buy into them wanting to fuel the fire of his internet rep. He even got to say "Take care, spike your hair"! Not to mention giving him a T-Shirt... maybe next week, he'll fit "Like me on Facebook, follow me on twitter" ect. in there as well? By the way, I'm thinking the stip tonight will probably be a totally lop-sided looking handicap match, pitting Cena against everyone Miz was talking to tonight.

GruntMark Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 The Miz/Cena arc for the night turned out pretty lame. A No Holds Barred match against the guy who until three segments ago was Michael Cole's lackey? Thats far from AWESOME. Especially considering this was the focus of most the show and almost all the backstage segments. And to top it off, Cena didnt look any more beatable after the match than before. Which would have helped, since I dont think anyone actually expects The Miz to win. Unless he like...threatens some hostages. Pretty forgettable Raw overall I think...

Like Sunday, halfway through the match, where the Miz is in peril, the video screen is going to light up, and A-Ri is going to be in some undisclosed location, holding a puppy hostage, and forcing it to watch the 1998 Brawl for All ... match by ridiculous match, until Cena gives up to save the puppy's sanity.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OctoberRaven Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Actually, given that Cena gave two very loud and angry "I QUIT!"s, I think they'll pull a Rock vs Foley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
