WWE: Raw and Smackdown Part 4 - The Paul Levesque Era

[Linkens Mastery]

Breakker should have turned face. When he doesn't he's going to have a giant following. Hopefully after this he moves directly into the Face category.

 

[hockey20000]

so is bron winning back the belt?

 

[hockey20000]

lame man .

 

[sansabri]

ref sure taking his time to dq this

 

[Fro]

Meh....I get why, but meh

 

[kanuck87]

No way the ref didn't see the interference. This is the kind of crap that turned me away during the Vince McMahon days. Don't go back to that crap.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I knew it was going to happen it's still such a stupid decision

Rough start for Lilian with the winning team advancing to the number one containers match. It feels like a step back but if the Irvin thing was short notice then she is a reasonable stop gap until someone is promoted or hired to replace Irvin since she has been around the company recently

Raquel is terrible. Everything she does looks awkward.

We will create video packages for American Made then have them lose to the LWO in a tag team contenders match. Excellent.

When they muted the holy shit chants they did something to the audio first where you could still hear them but the sound was different then the sound disappeared. My initial thought was maybe they muted the fake crowd noise instead of the real crowd noise then muted both but when re-watching that part I am unsure what happened other than the crowd was muted in an odd way as if a mistake was made.

Some wondered by the title was taken off Bron so quick but maybe it makes more sense to you now if he holds it for a decent run. They needed something to push Jey into War Games and that finish was it.

And yes that finish was almost as bad as the Liv/Rhea/Mysterio finish when Raquel debuted.

Two hours goes by fast. Still seems like the better program than Smackdown. If only it stayed two hours forever.

Taking the title off Bronn and putting it back on him makes little sense

 

[sansabri]

it's like they put the belt on jey real quick just to sell more merch

 

[hockey20000]

it's like they put the belt on jey real quick just to sell more merch

triple h booking for you lol

 

[Fro]

it's like they put the belt on jey real quick just to sell more merch

Or had 2 plans in mind and are screwing up both

 

[sansabri]

Or had 2 plans in mind and are screwing up both

maybe jey can't get in the KSA

edit: looking back, he's already been there so i dunno what the plan is

 

[Khelandros]

maybe jey can't get in the KSA

This is most likely the correct answer.

 

[Fro]

Another reason I question the booking of that match, they're promoting Bron vs Del Toro for Speed...how can you have Bron lose this tourney and still be strong since it's all Heat/Main Event talent doing this

So apparently Carlito's "I gotta learn Chinese" line after walking past Iyo and Kairi, was improvd my him, not scripted or planned and WWE are not happy about it:

People spoken to within WWE were reportedly “in disbelief” at the line being said, and there are a number of people in the company that “weren’t happy” about it.

Not sure if was trying to channel Frank Drebin or what.

 

[sansabri]

why is that a story

 

[Khelandros]

why is that a story

 

[Unholy Diver]

why is that a story

I took it as just Carlito being a dipshit a la the "When the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor" bit from Animal House, but you know in this day and age things like that call for someone to at least be fired if not executed

 

[Sheppy]

A bit of a dumb thing to say, but you just know people look for any reason to get upset.

 

[sansabri]

if this 'story' is coming from internal sources, we're most likely dealing with people who have never been wrestlers. i can't think of many wrestlers who are a quarter century into their careers without traveling to Japan. this is clearly a joke at the expense of his own dumb character and i love it

 

[HeisenBaez]

Breakker should have turned face. When he doesn't he's going to have a giant following. Hopefully after this he moves directly into the Face category.

I concur.

They did turn him face, everyone complained, so they just went with it being him messing around and still a heel

You have been banned from a different, non-moderated message board for racism. Sorry, I can't say non-moderated. At least one other person has been banned in five years. And of course, you. For racism. What are you even trying to pretend here?

 

[GKJ]

I think part of the concern is that Io had previously responded to a fan who told her to go back to China. Even stopping to make sure that’s what he said.



This is not at all the same. He was saying a line just to sound dumb, not mean, but I think people know and know that he knows. It’s not like he’s obtusely characterizing their identity such as something like making Kofi Kingston a Jamaican.
