GDT: WWE Network Special - WWE ROADBLOCK (Saturday, March 12, 2016) - HHH vs. Ambrose

[Epictetus]

They said on Smackdown it'd be Lesnar v. Wyatt at Roadblock, contrary to it being Lesnar v. Harper.

No need to drag his burial out. Just take old bray out back and shoot him/suplex him to death.

Maybe he will finally bounce off the bottom and start to come back up.

 

[Emperoreddy]

The Revival vs E&C for the Tag Titles is booked for Roadblock.

 

[The Gongshow]

Roadblock might actually be good guys...

Ya I would love to go. Montreal show was the wrong show to go to now.

Roadblock might be better then mania lol

 

[The Gongshow]

Surprised they didn't make Y2AJ vs New Day for the tag titles for this event, could also make for a great backstage segment with New Day and Enzo & Cass

Meh. Montreal show will still have Lesnar vs. Harper, either Ambrose vs. Owens street fight or Zayn vs. Owens, and probably a NXT match, too, since Enzo & Cass and The Revival are on the tour.

But yeah... I wish I made the trip down to Toronto instead.

Montreal makes a ton of sense for that match.....no story line needed either.

If they don't absolutely bury Harper it could be a great match!

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Would they add the debut of Aries against Corbin here?

Spoilers for NXT shows:

[spoil]No. They've already got NXT taped all the way up to Dallas. Aries vs Corbin going to be on the Dallas card[/spoil]

It's Luke Harper, the one guy in the Wyatt Family they go out of their way to absolutely bury for no reason. Erick Rowan is trash in the ring; why can't he job all the time?

Also, I found this at the FAN.

 

[Megahab]

What was the story line reason for HHH to give Ambrose and Reigns (and Lesnar too I guess) a #1 contender's match at Fast Lane? And why is HHH giving Ambrose a title shot at Roadblock?

 

[Kimi]

The 3-way set up via the "it's best for business" line. Which is fine. Ambrose got his shot after goading HHH into it. Which is also fine.

Spoilers for NXT shows:

Ah...thanks

Giving Roman a shot right after they spent so much energy to get the belt off him and screw him made no sense.

Neither did HHH coming out for 10 minutes talking about how he is the big boss and everyone does what he says then laughing at Ambrose wanting a title shot... then two minutes later accepting his challenge.

It's a bit different as he was goaded into it and heels generally make stupid decisions when they are goaded.

That was just standard storytelling. Plus it's HHH's MO that if you piss him off he likes to personally end and embarrass you.

That could apply to Roman except HHH kind of already got closure on that at the Rumble.

 

[Kimi]

I say fine 'cos it's not completely ********, just normal levels of expected dumbness xD. There are a lot of ways they could have done it better, but I don't mind the Ambrose match at all really.

 

[Emperoreddy]

If they played up the idea that the point of the triple threat was to ruin Roman and Dean's friendship while also feeding them to Brock it would of made more sense.

They only started that idea late though and it came off half assed.

Yeah I get that. But it would have been better IMO to start that a week earlier and just have HHH laugh it off like he did. Book Dean in a match that night with Big Show, Dean eeks out a win. Ambrose cuts another promo on HHH on Smack down... then have something happen on RAW where HHH finally accepts.

I know I'm just splitting hairs here and didn't really have a problem with how they did it. Just personal preference.

 

[Serac]

The storytelling for the triple threat was awful

They said whoever impressed the authority would get a match to see who would be #1 contender

Owens looked damn impressive and wasn't included
Bray looked pretty darn good and wasn't included
Brock didn't even appear and was included
What ?

 

[Paris in Flames]

It's also the least logical thing that HHH would ever put himself in a position where he might have to face Brock. You can't even try to claim that he was sending a beast to take out your two enemies because...surprise surprise...if that beast is successful he's coming after you.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Bray/Brock is 100% official now. The beast is going to finally euthanize the Wyatts.

 

[The Gongshow]

Poor Bray
