The Official WWE / NXT Discussion Thread *May Contain Spoilers*

The chemistry definition is two guys that work better together than they do apart or vice versa.

 

Some real world examples. Bret Hart and Mr. Perfect are two of the best wrestlers on the planet but its widely thought that their matches together at Summerslam and KOTR are below what their skill sets are. So you could call that neg chemistry. Two amazingly talented guys that don't work better together than apart.

 

The definition is that they put on better matches together than they do seperatley. We have seen Dolph put on great matches with Rey and others. Danielson puts together great matches with everyone. You can't give the "great chemistry" note for Danielson/Ziggler just because they put on a good match. Just like you can't give it to Flair/Steamboat. When you have two very talented guys putting on a great match thats just good pro wrestling.

 

Nothing erks me more about TEW than people wanting to give a chemistry note to everyone on the roster just because they work well together. Its supposed to be for two guys that have better matches together than they do apart and since thats not the case here its not great chemistry its just good wrestling. I'll stop ranting now but you are correct SM82 that this wouldn't be good chem.

 

Thanks stennick. You explained the whole chemistry thing perfectly, and that was what i was trying to say.

Watched the two Danielson/Ziggler matches. I preferred the one on the PPV, but both fun times. I wouldn't say they had great chemistry, but they clearly looked like two stellar performers, giving their all, and having time to do something meaningful. If Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk is on the cards, I'll be sure to check it out.

 

Also, it's impossible to be 'too green' (in any definition of the term) for the Intercontinental Title. Didn't Santino win it on his first night? ;) This isn't exactly the World Cup we're talking about. It's a practically meaningless midcard belt.

He did indeed, but that's different. It was a part of his storyline, so to say. If they were to handle the IC title to anyone just like that then it would become even less important then it already is.

That's widely thought? I would never have expected; I thought their Summerslam match was fantastic. Especially with Perfect's back apparently causing him excruciating pain.

I blame the brand split on the fall of the IC title. Back before it, I LOVED to watch the ongoing battles for it between the likes of guys like Ken Shamrock, Goldust, Val Venis, ect...

 

But with the talent spread out, less talented and popular guys, including folks who in the olden days would've been involved in the European title picture, are competiting for it. I like the WWE's current apparent direction towards the removal of the brand split. It was a neat idea at first, but after several years I miss the tried and true format. The only huge upside the brand split has given is allowing some of the guys lower on the card more opportunity to showcase their talents. But, double edged sword and all, it's all allowed a lot of guys to have time on the main shows when they'd be better off improving themselves on a B show.

 

And of course there's the whole "why isolate your talent away from each other?" arguement, but I've got homework to do and I'm not in the mood to keep ranting about how the brand split is evil and kills kittens and touches me in no no places.

Read that as well. Girl is quite lovely, based on the pics I've seen.

 

Just saw a pic of her in an anti-Aggie shirt and no one knows how much I like her after that. :D I had completely forgot that Vickie still lived in El Paso. I hope Shaul does well though, and I can't wait to see what she's capable of.

Well, i wouldn't blame it all on the brand split,but it did became obsolete after a couple of years. Back then they had bought WCW recently, were fully loaded of talent and it made sense. Now...times changed...as we all know. But i still remember some good IC runs after the brand split. To me, the last great IC run was Orton's. Damn, i think that belt was almost a world championship on his waist back then,as he performed his "hate me, i am the despicable evil dude" routine perfectly. Ah yes...good times.... At least better times than now. :D

I like this news, I miss the King of the Ring and dislike how few tournaments and things WWE has these days.
