GDT: WWE TLC (4th December 2016) - Gimmicks for Everyone!

[GKJ]

Well, they did put the bug at the bottom of the screen to say that was the end of the show.

It's their own network, they can run over time.


Also,



Who would have thought after Brooklyn that Alexa Bliss would be a champion before Bayley?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Daniel Bryan will never be cleared to compete with WWE.

She's really taken the ball and running with it. Best character out of all the women, easily.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Damn.

After 3 and a half years....Bray Wyatt finally has something under his WWE Championships/Accomplishments section on Wiki.

wow.

Probably still doesn't happen unless Orton wanted it to happen, which is a kudos to Orton for being up for working with different talents.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

AJ is just the ****ing man. period.

The ridiculous suplex through the chairs, the forearms, the 450 splash from the ring to a table outside like 10 feet away. Legend.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

They actually booked Miz strong tonight, I can't believe it.

 

[Emperoreddy]

AJ is the best without question. Just insane.

Double low blow finish isn't exactly "strong" but it is perfect for heels so it works all the same for me.

wow.

That was a perfect move...I can watch that over and over.

 

[ColePens]

AJ is the best without question. Just insane.

I know a lot of us watched his great matches over the years, but it's still a damn shame he wasn't on the grandest stage of them all for over 10+ years now. And i know some people don't care about that, but every single wrestling fan should have been enjoying AJ for over 10 years.

 

[The Gongshow]

I'll say it again. AJ Styles is the best thing in WWE

 

[Viletho]

It's not going to happen.

DB: "you're a better talker than a wrestler." Oh, it's true.

I guess DB doesn't like guys like John Cena, Bray Wyatt, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, by that logic.

Not saying they are bad wrestler, they are good. But so do Miz. Some time the WWE Logics

That belt is huge on her

IMO, he's been one of the top wrestlers for the last 15 or so years. I hope he has enough in the tank for a couple of years.

Bryan is an indy guy at his core, so, yeah, he probably isn't the biggest fan of these guys.

I think that's attaching things that simply aren't there. Until this last little run post-split, Miz was largely a boring performer in the ring. There was nothing special about him and very little entertaining about him in the ring. All the guys you point to all were or are entertaining in the ring. Miz was never good until this run with Dolph when it comes to his in-ring work. He was the prime definition of vanilla in the ring.

 

[Virtanen18]

Carmella needs to go back to NXT

I think she's getting better every week.

Corbin vs. Kalisto - **1/2

This is harsh IMO. Decent match with a couple really good spots.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Agreed. Kalisto/Corbin surprised me quite a bit. I'd go *** 1/4 or so.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Am I crazy are Sami Zayn is the only logical choice to fight Miz for Bryan? Smallish indy guy that is being held down by the machine and that fans want to cheer for? I mean, the story writes itself. Miz trashes Bryan/indy guys in a promo, Zayn comes out, challenges him, loses a few times via shenanigances, overcomes the odds at WM in a gimmick match (no DQ maybe).

I don't know why I put **1/2. I looked at my ratings had it at a high **3/4 or low-to-mid ***.

Assuming that there is no MITB at Wrestlemania this year (a bad assumption, I think it comes back to mania with the brand extension) a TLC match or a ladder match would be good.

Samoa Joe can go this route as well while developing his monster element. He's going to get face pops when he debuts so they should run with it to start and have him turn heel within the first three to six months depending on the reactions.

Assuming that there is no MITB at Wrestlemania this year (a bad assumption, I think it comes back to mania with the brand extension) a TLC match or a ladder match would be good.

There really isn't anything to suggest that MitB will be on Mania as of yet but there's still plenty of time. Honestly, I would make it a co-branded show and either do two brand specific ladder matches for their respective title briefcase or two inter-promotional ladder matches with one being the men and one being the women.

I think it would be a huge mistake for WWE to not have the Money in the Bank as its own show. It's actually pretty successful.

 

[BonMorrison]

There will be a multi-man ladder match at Wrestlemania for one of the IC or US titles, that's about an easy as a lock as Rollins/Triple H and Lesnar/Goldberg. It'll most likely be for the IC title as Reigns will probably be putting his strap up against Strowman.

They have to have this match because there are too many midcarders that don't have spots on the card and this is an easy way to squeeze people in.
