The biggest complaint I’ve seen from the weekend is the Vegas setup doesn’t allow the wrestlers to have privacy and they’re exposed to the fans more than they would be in other cities.



Oh well, they need to complain to TKO and upper management. Heck, I went both times they came to New Orleans and saw plenty of them out and about in the Quarter. One night we ran into Braun Strowman, Bray Wyatt, Paige, and Seth Rollins at a bar. Paige and Bray were nice as could be, engaging with fans. Strowman had like 3 or 4 butt ugly chicks with him and would only talk to women. The funny thing was, the day before at Wrestlecon I saw Kamille's table and she was telling some other chick that she was dating him. Seth Rollins was somewhat of a prick and didn't talk to anyone. People were filming and no one said a thing. I remember the following morning after Taker lost to Brock, he was coming out of his hotel and could barely walk; his wife (Michelle McCool) had to help him to the car. People were filming and he didn't say a thing, just got in the car and rolled out. Punk just comes across as an a-hole, and not just based on this one incident. Unless the fan said something offensive - and there are no reports of that from my understanding - it was uncalled for. I know people will laugh or say "OK sure" but I promise if that had been me, Punk would've been in for a rude awakening because he wouldn't have intimidated me one bit.

Oba should have squashed Cody tonight and won the title. Ride the wave before you let it pass

Oba needs to be treated like Brock beating the undertaker. They got what 12 years of life out of that win? Which means oba squashes Cody at summerslam with ease and basically destroys people for a long time but not being overshown

This is all basically going nowhere until HHH & the creative dept recreate themselves into more talented writers.

Oba has heat/is over but holy crap is that one big nowhere of a destination. Dude has NO charisma other than his cute lil bopping walk to the ring. No mic skills. He's another Sasquatch/El Gigante. Once he squashes Cody or Reigns then what?!

Only way to possibly really put Oba over is to drastically- I mean DRASTICALLY-whittle down the Bloodline, unite them with Reigns and use them as Horseman to constantly thwart any win over Reigns.

Reigns seems to be more face than heel at the moment. He's solid either way.

Not sure what to do with Cody. I mean i guess he's still over as a face but there's no juice there.

They really need to push LA Knight somehow someway. Dude STILL gets a great pop.

With Brock gone they're basically down to Orton as the last of the old legends. They have got to start cooking up something and quick.

They should bank up the armored truck to Stone Cold to kick off a story line with Knight or something.

Nothing else really has any sizzle.

Speaking of, they really need to cut down on the womens stuff but they won't because sex sells. But holy crap are those matches bad. Only Rhea and the Japanese girls hit marks consistently.

I was watching NXT tonight and realized the two week event they wrapped around Wrestlemania had better storylines than 90% of the two night WM card. The Sol-Zaria match was so much better than any of the no-DQ style matches in Vegas.

It looks like Blake/Mariah finished up tonight. Hendry and Sol dropped their matches too. The new "talent" they had a promo to hype looks like a repeat of the Blair/Stevie/Shotzi experiments. It looks like Kendall Gray is getting fast tracked by getting a run at the top.

Jacy was talked about in the past tense and no mention of the faction at all. It looks like Starks and Paxley are going to be mid-cycle callups. Based on past movements, you've got to figure Izzy isn't far from the RAW roster (if she's still with Bron) nor is Kelani from SD (Carmelo) either.

I and a lot of the wrestling world disagree with this. He does have mic skills. His promo to Monday before mania was well received and some said was the best of this mania season. He has great mic skills in NXT. Especially against Trick. He doesn't need to be the Rock on the mic. Hell, he already has better mic skills than Brock. If his charisma becomes a true issue, they will throw him with Paul or give him someone else as a mouthpiece.

Yea Oba’s not bad at all on the mic. Is he Ric Flair or Steve Austin? No. But he does well.

Have you never seen a wrestling thread?

Pages 1-2 is about the card for the night
2-4 is about the length of the video package to open
5-12 is the first match or two
13-65 are random pictures of female wrestlers half naked oiling themselves up
66-now are us fans pretending to be able to fix the issues with creative decisions

This spanned 2 3 and half hours long shows plus another 2 and a half hour show the next day.

Yeah, he is in the Goldberg / Brock role, neither of them were good on the mic, Brock grew into being funny when he needed to be later in his career. The knock knock joke is still one of my favorite promos

I think the problem they’re going to run into with him is him essentially squashing Brock means no one outside of Roman and Cody should be able to even have a competitive match with him. The crowd will turn on him if he’s just squashing everyone so you essentially are going to have to make him an attraction and keep him off most of the shows.
