Dawn Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I'm not pressed about Gable at all. He has a featured spot on TV every week, and even Angle dabbled with comedy before reaching his prime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Machine Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Yeah nothing too bad about being comical overall. But failed opportunity after failed opportunity, I expected Gable to finally snap and become a cold-hearted wrestling machine. These comedy angles do not seem to me to be the best option for him and his ongoing momentum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blonde Bomber Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 20 hours ago, CQI13 said: I originally thought The Bloodline story should have ended at WM39 and they gave it legs. This is one beat in a much longer story especially since he just re-signed. Still not a good start imo. Would be down with the Wyatt6 if it was less super natural and just generally creepy and psychotic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Machine Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Andrade and Melo had a nice match! Happy for the Mexican taking the W. Not something new, but Andrade's two huge problems are that he can't cut a decent promo in English and he doesn't really have a interesting or unique character. How would you handle his booking?

I think him with Zelina was the best booking I’ve seen of him. He needs to be a heel and have a manager to hype him up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Black Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I don't think Zelina is a very good heel, though. I find her current babyface turn works for much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if that's a way to no longer have to see at 45kg wrestler treated as a serious competitor inside the squared circle all the better lol Character-wise though, I think he needs something extra to non being seen as Santos Escobar clone 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I mean it's not like she can't work the bitchy manager, always a classic and easy to get heat on. I can't really see treat her like a legitimate wrestler so it's hard to me to think about her as a good babyface. She's ok as a babyface valet I guess.

PaperMachete Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 When Dom is turning on Rhea at SummerSlam, is it the first time a heel turns even heeler? 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guyver3 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I’m actually hoping Dom doesn’t turn on Rhea at SummerSlam I think a short soft face run for Dom with Rhea feuding with Liv and Finn would be good and let Dom grow jealous as the feud goes on.

PaperMachete Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I would like to see Finn and Liv "team up" as well, but imagine the heat Dom will get turning on Rhea... it will be nuclear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Machine Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) Dom Dom definitely gonna turn on Rhea for that blonde babe lol nuclear heat for real Can't blame him tbh Edited July 24 by Wrestling Machine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajstylesfan1978 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Can't blame Dom at all but how do you book the turn? Dom distract Rhea and Liv hits Rhea with a chain? Or do you start to add Finn as a added distraction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see something similar to Jericho vs Christian at Mania XX, where Dom accidentally takes a stinger in the corner and when Rhea goes to check on him he petulantly pushes her away into a rollup/Oblivion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I like that idea. I wouldn't want them to overdo the turn with Finn involved; have him break apart from Damian/Rhea after SummerSlam. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestling Machine Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Soooooo Cody was forced to wrestle in a Bloodline Rules match at Mania that was sponsored as a nightmare turned reality and basically an impossible mountain to climb for Cody, and rightfully so! And 3/4 months after that, Cody accepts the same stipulation with complete nonchalance the day before the match? How does this make sense? A loudmouth old man from Kentucky would probably call this “Laaaaaaazy Booking”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Machine Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Beside that, SummerSlam has a pretty stacked card, I’m expecting an exciting show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loudmouth old man from Kentucky would probably call this “Laaaaaaazy Booking”. While I would normally agree I see it as Cody knows he has backup likely Roman coming back. Cody was also talking about how he’s not afraid of Solo’s goons which if he’s not afraid of them he’s proving it by accepting the stipulation. I think there’s enough story going on with this that it’s not a big hang up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Machine Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Assume Cody already planned that he had Reigns, KO and Randy having his back on SummerSlam - which is a bold assumption imo, why Reigns should already ensure Cody he will have is back? - he’ll have their backs in a classic 1vs1 too, am I wrong? Cody’s a babyface who knows he’s better than Solo, he has champion advantage in case of DQ, and even if The Bloodline would interfere in a classic 1vs1 he’ll have his friends (again, and assume he already knows Roman will help him) backing him up. Why accepting a no dq match this nonchalantly lol That’s just lazy, I’m sorry, and makes no sense … By doing this they won’t have to worry about how to book all interferences without having to call a DQ.

guyver3 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 How I’m looking at it Cody doesn’t necessarily think he has Roman as an ally but he has inside knowledge that Roman will be back and after everything that’s happened he’s going to want a piece of Solo first. It’s been no secret that Heyman and Cody have history so that’s where he gets the info cause of course Paul is going to plot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisma Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I absolutely loved the show! Liv VS Rhea was a really solid opener and even though we all saw it coming, it was very well executed! I am looking forward to the continuation, especially with Judgment Day imploding. I was a little suprised that Sami VS Bron was so short, but looking at it positively, it shows what kind of beast Breakker is, but taking out Sami within 5 minutes. Knight finally winning gold is great and Paul did really well, once again. Bailex VS Jax finishing stretch was really, really well done. Punk VS Drew, as far as I am concerned, was amazing. I was locked in the whole time and loved every second. By the way, did anyone else catch Punk telling Rollins he doesn't care about his SABU PANTS??? That had me laughing for quite some time. 😁 Priest VS Gunther was great, as most of us expected, I guess. I gotta be honest though, it didn't draw me in, like the previous match. Cody VS Solo felt like it was building up to the return of Roman Reigns. They could have or maybe even should have shaved off like 5-10 minutes, because it felt like every other Bloodline match, but without the Star Power that Roman has. That Pop was insane, though and when he went for the spear, I got goosebumps! I am really looking forward to what comes next! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
