Blackman Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Lol. Even our main national news station had it as a news in the designated 'fun' section, even though the popularity of WWE is relatively small (though at an all-time high). As for Rusev/Cena: They aren't seriously going to do that, right? The Cena pop-bucket is overflowing for years. It will have been pointless building him up as a monster heel. He's at his peak.

Basmat01 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Speaking of Orton, anyone seen the RKO Outtanowhere meme doing the rounds? Even Randy's re-tweeting them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vea0B1vVMiY For the peeps on facebook the page is called RKO Vines. when I liked the page only had like 7,000 likes now the page it going on 170,000 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellboy2 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 i have only just seen them and was about to post about the RKO out of nowhere, i have even seen him RKO a giraffe now its amazing also do you think they will give the main event at Hell in a Cell to Rollins/Ambrose or Orton/Cena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah so? Bray Wyatt was white hot coming off clean wins over Daniel Bryan and the Shield before the Cena feud. His reactions were never bigger and slowly diminished the longer his feud with Cena went on. It's sad but it's the very obvious way that WWE works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Rusev can get even bigger as a result of the feud. But my point was that Cena can't, and therefore shouldn't be the one pinning Rusev. The pop gain will be irrelevant.

Teh_Showtime Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 At this rate I'm sure Rusev will be a defacto face by the time they face anyways Yeah Putin will always get heat but he is routinely winning clean and putting on gutsy performances (borderline crying while trying to finish Swagger). He could very much be in a sympathetic position in a match with Cena All in all Rusev is ridiculously awesome so we should just sit back and enjoy him while he's still getting attention from management Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teh_Showtime Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I think him and Sheamus are the only people to get an entertaining match out of Big Show in the last decade so there's that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 NXT Review: Corbin vs Sampson - Another squash match but Corbin's look, entrance and finisher have gotten him over already. Zayn & Kidd - Sami cut a promo about coming up short and committing to win the NXT Title. Kidd (wearing Zayn's merch) ran him down. This was followed by a good back-and-forth. Lucha Dragons vs Blake & Murphy - Solid match. Sin Cara got the pin with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb from the top rope. Murphy was booked strong. Lynch vs Charlotte - Good match. Lynch needs a better character to match her in-ring prowess. Charlotte has superstar potential. Enzo & Cass vs The Legionairres - Leforte accidentally pulled Louis' wig off so Louis beat the crap out of him. Carmella vs Old Blue Pants - "Old Blue Pants" is Enzo's nickname for the unnamed rookie (Leva Bates). Squash win for Carmella with a leg choke submission. Zayn vs Kidd - Good match won by Zayn. Verdict: Good show to kick-off the Road to Takeover 3: Sami's Redemption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basmat01 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 So they fired Justin Roberts as ring announcer and I think I have found the perfect replacement........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milamber Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Smackdown was completely skippable. The Hell in a Cell build-up feels like it's dragging now. Ambrose vs Kane was an uninspired main event. Lana comparing Big Show and Henry to Goodyear Blimps was funny. Nikki & Naomi had a decent match. Rollins & Ziggler put on a good match with a clean finish. http://static.dyp.im/isRFG3cpqh/27970d922dfc3b12e7b4de53be0e875d.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitarzu Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Lana comparing Big Show and Henry to Goodyear Blimps was funny. http://static.dyp.im/isRFG3cpqh/27970d922dfc3b12e7b4de53be0e875d.gif She looks like more Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/d8/Stay-puft-marshmallow-man.jpg/300px-Stay-puft-marshmallow-man.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQI13 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Am I the only one who has 0 interest in Rusev? Felt that way about Wyatt even before his Cena feud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I'm interested in both of them, but it'd be hard not to considering the amount of build-up that went into it. The Wyatt promo this week was... interesting, to say the least. The USA vs USSR storyline should end pretty soon anyway so he'll disappear from sight for a while, I'd think. All in all it was an entertaining RAW, though I skipped through parts of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 He could just be a wrestler who happens to reside in Russia and have normal storylines, why would he need to go off tv? Especially after dominating the entire roster, that would do nothing but cool him off tremendously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swanton825 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Am I the only one who has 0 interest in Rusev? He was a lot better back in NXT when he had Sylvester Lefort as his manager. For that matter, Lefort was a lot better then too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickymex Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 He was a lot better back in NXT when he had Sylvester Lefort as his manager. For that matter, Lefort was a lot better then too. I have to disagree. Lana is a way better fit with Rusev in my opinion probably because they are dating in real life. Lefort hasn't been given a gimmick or character development to get really get over. He's french and that's basically been it. I think he will find a way to get over soon but right now he's just there to establish Enzo and Cass which isn't a bad role as it gets him on tv.

Teh_Showtime Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Yeah he was way better as a manager, mostly because he isnt that great in the ring and he rarely gets to talk now. Looks like him and Louis will be feuding now though so that should be new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swanton825 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Funny thing is that if they Lefort play the in-your-face arrogant ass he did when he managed Rusev he'd be a great counterpoint to Enzo's lovable arrogance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Raw worked well as a final hype show for HIAC. I enjoyed Orton's segment, Mizdow winning, Rusev kicking the fake soldier, Mick Foley & Cesaro vs Ziggler. And for the first time in weeks the main event delivered. http://i.imgur.com/rYoJAwV.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 NXT Review: The Ascension vs Jordan & Dillinger - Solid squash match followed by Itami failing to beat up the Ascension on his own. Parker vs Breeze - Solid match. I hope Breeze doesn't fully turn babyface. The Vaudevillians vs Murphy & Blake - Solid match. Murphy impressed again, this time with his selling ability. Bayley vs Sasha - Good match and a big win for Sasha. This was followed by Becky turning heel on Bayley, which was a bit rushed after only being foreshadowed last week. Sasha is ready for the main roster. Titus vs Neville (NXT Championship) - OK match let down by O'Neill's lack of pace and jobber status on the main roster. Still, it made Neville look like a strong champ so job done. Verdict: Solid show but the main event could have been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Smackdown was a good go-home show. Ziggler and Cesaro had an entertaining title match and a strong backstage segment that set up a 2-out-of-3 falls match for HIAC. Ambrose going ham and putting both Noble & Mercury through tables was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakerNGN74 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I may be extremely selfish in saying this but I really wish the talent down in NXT would stay down in NXT for as long as they can. There is no rush for me to see them on the main shows considering how bad RAW has been lately and with the history of how NXT call ups are being treated once they hit the main shows.
