milamber Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 <p>Evers vs Hiroyo - Good match. I'm glad Evers lost because of her unprofessional meltdown in STARDOM (which happened after this was filmed so I was afraid she might win here).</p><p> Conti vs Jessie - OK match. Jessie wasn't awful but she's still green. Conti looks more confident in the ring but if she's a heel she shouldn't cry after her matches.</p><p> Dawn vs Matthews - Solid match. I got the result wrong (I'm 13/16 so far).</p><p> Brookside vs Io - Good for a short match. I hope Io's Queen Quest ripoff theme is only a placeholder.</p><p> </p><p> Jaysin is right. Evolution just seems like a bunch a random matches that aren't as interesting as WWE want us to think they are. The MYC final and Kairi vs Shayna will steal the show if Vince lets Hunter handle them.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn michaels Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Evolution has everything to bomb right now, so it seems. It's random, pointless and with no real hype other than the endless "this is the women's revolution" that they can't stop saying and they can't stop attributing it to Stephanie, The Bellas...heck, everyone except those who actually improved women's wrestling. Is it even sold out at this point? Doubt it, but don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Evolution reunion for Smackdown 1000. I wonder if Batista will be enough for SD to hit 3 million viewers for the first time since the 2017 draft show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milamber Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Raw was pretty good by recent standards. The heat Elias got in Seattle was amazing. Still don't give a crap about the Australian Show or the other dozen events coming up, except Takeover Wargames of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't give a crap about the Australian Show or the other dozen events coming up, except Takeover Wargames of course. I've been watching wrestling for 33 years and it's hard to remember a crowd booing as loud as Seattle did for Elias last nite. I hope Vince pays attention to this and sees $$ in Elias.

Greylocke Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 <p>Elias has been criminally under-pushed. Push him to the title scene while the iron is hot!</p><p> </p><p> There have been lots of talk about NXT guys being misused after they've been brought to the main roster. Elias is one of the rare examples of the extreme opposite. NXT never unlocked that tremendous potential that he's been displaying since he's been on RAW. Not being a former indy darling or big star in Japan probably held him down there.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 So far MYC has been good. Even got excited for Kaitlyn. Less excited for the all-women event. The card seems... a letdown in and of itself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek B Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Michael Cole has to at least try to make us care. Super Showdown is just starting... first time since Wrestlemania that I've watched an event live. And at least this time I'm just out of bed so I won't be falling asleep towards the end of it.

Rayelek Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Am I the only one who thought Super Showdown was terrible? Sure some of the wrestling was good, but from a story perspective, literally every face or hometown hero won their match, which basically just made it feel like a glorified house show. Which is a lot like how Beast in the East and Greatest Royal Rumble felt. I'm really starting to get annoyed with how WWE books these big foreign events to be some big deal and then throws mediocre product on 'em.

I liked it overall. A couple of meh matches, just like someone pointed above, but overall it was good. Taker can no longer sell a Pedigree (or much else, for that matter) to save his life. And while i get that the gimmick of no DQ was to protect the weaknesses and make it longer and ME worthy when it comes to duration, the weaknesses are still there. Sure, it would be much visible without the gimmick, but Shawn Michaels selling and actually calling the shots could be more interesting when the tag match happens. Plus, Kane can still sell more than Taker and generally move better.</p><p> </p><p> Can't believe i'm saying this, but I'm glad a match involving suplex city is the main event for Saudi Arabia. To have to witness 3 guys in their 50s and one dangerously close to it in the ME spot would be ludicrous, as much as I like Shawn Michaels. Plus, while I will probably mark for him and DX, I still think he should have stayed retired. This has HHH written all over it.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
