niall2015 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Roman's promos remind me of when I auditioned to be in my school play 'Oliver' when I was 11. So wooden. Actually, I wish I had've said "I'm not a good guy, I'm not a bad guy. I'm THE Artful Dodger". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Nice RAW this week, but a couple of missed opportunities: Roman not capitalizing on the "believe that" instance. New Day blowing the trumpet during a Cesaro Swing. It makes sense to opt for the Hitman given the parallel with Flair, but it would also have been nice to see Kidd (if he's ready for a role like that). I always like it more with alive crowds like the past weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crychon Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 So this is kind of a spoiler, I guess, but it happened at a house show: http://www.cagesideseats.com/2016/4/21/11485252/samoa-joe-defeats-finn-balor-to-become-new-nxt-champ-at-lowell-house Strange way to end his reign.

Astyn Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 With all this reuniting of the Bullet Club talk I was thinking of how I would book and was curious to find out what others thought. This is howw I would do it - Roman Reigns defeats. AJ Styles at Payback - Respectful hand shake - Next raw AJ, Anderson & Gallows defeat Roman and The Usos - Anderson & Gallows attack Roman & The Usos / AJ saves them - Anderson & Gallows claim that AJ was never a true leader yadayada - AJ Styles & Roman Reigns defeat. Gallows & Anderson via. DQ on Raw - AJ Styles challenges Gallows and Anderson to a match at Extreme Rules - Gallows and Anderson defeat. AJ Styles & Finn Balor (Mystery Partner) - Finn Balor turns on AJ midmatch. - Balor Club vs. AJ Styles Feud (kinda predictable but a little better then AJ just being the leader of the crew again i feel.)

That kind of annoys me because I am going to the show at URI. My buddy and I were mulling over which show to go to the one in Lowell or the one at URI and we chose the latter because it was closer.

I think that's about the 21st non-TV title change in WWF/WWE/ history. The last I remember is Primo & Epico. Vince's idea to boost house show ticket sales I guess.

Astyn Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Guess you could flip it have AJ Styles turn on Finn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 If they call up Finn soon and take their time you could have the 4 of them as good friends. Put Finn on an undefeated streak heading for a WWE Title shot while AJ gets frustrated he can't beat Reigns without help, so he, Gallows and Anderson turn on Finn. Any combination of Joe, Zayn, Cesaro & Nakamura can join Balor Club to fight against Styles Club. Everyone gets over if it's done right.

K-Nection Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 So Finn dropped the title to Samoa Joe at a house show..... Edit: I just realized that somebody mentioned it the page before yesterday and I didn't catch it...whoops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read reports he Finn appeared to injure his ankle/ leg, X up and trainers out, then wrestled another 60 seconds, and lost. At first i thought maybe he knew he was severely injured and called a hot finish, but the same reports say he limped to the back without assistance, which would seem to indicate it wasn't like a neville situation where he knew he broke it and would be out for a good while immediately in the moment. Also, anyone else notice that on Raw Reign's a few times once he got riled by the crowd, said "we" when referring to the Roman Empire? he since has swapped back to "I" or "my". a small part of me wonders if rather than just including the fans in the "empire" or what have you, he had a brain fart and reveled that Roman's going to be the one pulling Doc and Karl's strings.

Mootinie Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Samoa Joe loses twice to Balor in NXT TakeOver specials, then wins the belt at a house show because Balor just has to beat Neville's record-long reign. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickymex Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 GCS weirdness as previously announced Noam Dar is now in a qualifier with Josh Bodom on May 1st. From what I understand Triple H slipped up when mentioning the participants. Zack Sabre was also mentioned and then put in a qualifier.

The Final Countdown Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Is it safe to say he is Lance Storm in demon form???? I liked Lance Storm way more. One of the things that really annoys me is how much play they give to his "demon" persona. They treat it like he's Keiji Mutoh turning into the Great Muta...except he wrestles the exact same way as usual from what I've seen. He's just a boring dude cosplaying.

milamber Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Smackdown was good again. Miz was the MVP. YMMV with his gimmick but he's killing it right now. I hope they don't hot-shot the IC title to Cesaro too quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LigerLiger Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I still think that Styles is turning Heel before his match with Reigns. That's because I really can't see Reigns beating a face Styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I still think that Styles is turning Heel before his match with Reigns. That's because I really can't see Reigns beating a face Styles. I disagree. Styles is one of the most over babyfaces right now so I expect them to milk it with a slow-burn heel turn. They've also shifted Roman's character to work with the boos not against them and because he's the champ he can beat anyone without looking like an outright heel. I think they will have Gun & Gallows try to interfere but Styles gets distracted trying to stop them and eats a spear. But this is WWE we're talking about so however Vince wants to book it is what we'll get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
