Wrestling - Part 3



Listened to the Royal Rumble 2001 episode of the OSW podcast. Can't believe I've only just gave it a go today. The hosts have a fantastic natural chemistry to them & the show as a whole is so well formatted & put together.

They're all worth a watch like the worse the ppv the better the show... The Halloween one is class
 
Really hope Adrian Neville makes it, if Bryan is injured Id love to see him as IC champion. Be guaranteed some great matches for the belt.

You can only get so far without talking in WWE. If he utters a word, his momentum is gone sadly or it will decline over time because he just sounds terrible.

And that's not a guarantee of getting a push.
Wade Barrett is a excellent performer but has been hurried since they took the bad news gimmick away from him. The mid card is like the divas division in that there is only room for 1 mid card heel getting pushed, Sheamus is having his turn at the minute.

Listened to that today, the Tazz part made me laugh. Also I didn't know about Triple H not wanting Angle to be champion because he thought he was too small so Pat Patterson stood up and said 'Why dont you legit wrestle him then?' what a knob Triple H is.

His 20th turn.
 
He spoke on SmackDown! on friday and even I struggled to understand what he was saying :lol:

Did he? Oh dear.

7 Hours of Main Roster programming a week, plus a 3 hour ppv every month. That's 31 Hours of TV and they can only focus on about 4 people, it's ridiculous. It looks even worse when you see NXT doing a 1 hour weekly show and are able to showcase their roster 10 times better.

It was a pre-recorded promo to be honest, but still, you've got to wonder how many times they had to retake the shoot if that was the best one they went with.

agreed.
before Survivor Series the product felt very good imo. They were booking everyone on the whole very good and they had stars like Rusev and Barrett who were getting reactions. It all started to go wrong when the authority got ousted and I havent watched raw regularly this year as a result.

The Authority are boring now, that angle needs to be phased out soon. Could do with a decent GM and maybe even an Impartial one, not a Heel/Face figure.

Yep, I go back to when they had their balls cut off at Survivor Series, they had a fear factor about them but when Sting jobbed them it took a lot away from them. What should have happened is that the Authority's power should have been on the line at Wrestlemania and finished then but of course thats too much common sense.

I get what you mean but, they had to make the 10 man tag mean something other than Good Guys vs Bad Guys. Something had to be on the line, then again just Cena's team members losing their jobs could have been enough.

exactly. In my opinion good booking is teasing the fans by almost giving them what they want and then snatching it away. That builds crowd response and interest as the fans wait and wait and wait until finally you give them what they want (the baddies getting their come up-pence). WWE does not think long term any more about building characters and title runs and just buries people at the drop of a hat (remember that Raw after Survivor Series? the worst one for years) and they wonder why the fans dont give a toss about anyone? why should they boo the heels when they are such little threat to the babyfaces..

oh and just remembered the Orton fiasco.
 
Rumours that Bryan won't be able to work the scheduled match against Barrett and Neville will be taking his place at Extreme Rules, no Idea if this means the Title is getting vacated or they're just putting that match in there instead. Will be an absolute pisser if Bryan has to go away again.
