St. Templar Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 1 hour ago, Captain Kayfabe said: I thought it was pretty good. Nothing extremely noteworthy or amazing though. I'm confused about the booking decision in the 2/3 falls match with Apollo and Melo though. I know that it's predictable for those matches to always go to a third fall, but... I just figured that it was a way for a guy who's already been the US and IC Champ to put over an NXT guy. I'm guessing there's a lot of respect or friendship or something...or Apollo's just being a company guy, and the idea is to build Melo to be the next big challenger to Bron Breakker and the NXT title.

Jaysin Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I would have removed the women's tag title match personally. It wasn't bad, but it didn't feel like a PLE level match. It just kind of existed. Wes Lee vs Dijak felt like a peak WWIndie era NXT match. It was gnarly and fun. Bron Breakker rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blonde Bomber Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 That Cody/Heyman promo was gold. I couldn’t keep my eyes off it. Such good talent. Cody such a pure face, Heyman such a sniveling heel. I hate how the Rumble and Mania are booked though. It’s so awkward to have a title defense in between them. They should just build to Mania from the Rumble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should just build to Mania from the Rumble. Raw was a thoroughly solid show. I really enjoyed the Cody/Heyman stuff, the cage match, and the Edge/Beth-JD stuff. The two qualifiers were rather predictable, but they were still strong matches that showcased both of the Profits and Damian. St.T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.T I know it's super unlikely, but I would lose my mind if Gangrel and Christian came up through the fire with Edge even if it's a one off since Christian is in AEW.

The Blonde Bomber Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 As much as I love the Bloodline stuff it really bothers me how they pretend the cameras not in front of them. It’s like they’re planning crimes while everyone’s watching them then they’re shocked they get arrested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now it’s acknowledged which makes the Usos look dumb for even trying to do thing hidden since it’s on goddamn camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both Usos are going to get kicked out or quit the Bloodline. I just hope Solo doesn't get lost in the shuffle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't, but there are countless things in pro wrestling that don't make any sense. Trying to rationalize it will just drive you batty.

Mootinie Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 The promo between Cody and Paul Heyman on RAW was just fantastic stuff. One of the most compelling wrestling promos I've seen in the last 5 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's not GREAT, but I can suspend my disbelief. The worst though is stuff like Kane's "May 19th" or when Ultimate Warrior was playing mind games with Hogan, appearing as a ghostly image in the mirror that only Hogan could see. Well, Hogan, and the announce team, but not Eric Bischoff who was standing right next to the Hulkster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Hogan, and the announce team, but not Eric Bischoff who was standing right next to the Hulkster. No, I agree completely. And I'm the first to admit that there are definite times when wrestling promotions could do a bit more to help us reasonably suspend out disbelief rather than making it harder. (I always thought that the Warrior in the mirror stuff would have made more sense if Hulk was alone when he saw the image, and the commentators never said anything and just let the backstage "skit" play out. Then, when Bischoff walked in and asked what was up with Hulk, the image of Warrior would have been gone. That makes it look like Warrior's driving Hogan nuts, and nobody else, except the audience, has the least clue about what's going on with him.)
