To adopt a line from Game Of Thrones, Vince would/will burn WWE to the ground just so long as Reigns is King of the ashes.

Guy is fecking garbage.

Team ECW vs Wyatts in an elimination tables match at TLC will be carnage and could be brilliant as long as PG lines are allowed to be crossed

I just have no desire to watch Tommy Dreamer and Rhyno in 2015\2016. Bringing Dreamer back at this point to take huge bumps is bordering on cruelty to the guy, especially when Vince is holding back Daniel Bryan while sanctioning this.

Its just nostalgia to have the ECW guys back again. Both Dreamer and Rhyno can still go in the ring but are definitely far from their peak

Won't bring Bryan back because of concussions, will have Dreamer who has admitted to having memory loss and blackouts due to numerous concussions wrestle.

Something tells me they just don't want Bryan ruining Reigns show.

Sheamus, but it will not be clean obviously.

Wyatt. Dreamer getting a pin in Raw was ridiculous.

I thought MexAmericana was dropped. Why are they still fighting?

Doesn't matter. It's good either way!

I actually want New Day to lose. Would be a change for them to do their shenanigans from the other side. Just to avoid getting stale.


New Japan.
:lol: True that!

Breaking Ground was a lot of fun (again) this week. Sticking to that and NXT (whilst just reading Raw and SD) has been a nice break (I actually think this is the first break ive had since I watched the first ep of Raw).

This is what I tend to do every week, while recently branching out for some new stuff like LU and ROH. I find I have my head in my hands and roll my eyes a lot less.

Anyone else disappointed we won't get to see a Kevin Owens vs Dean Ambrose in some kind of stipulation match at TLC?

Not only has the build up been poor, caused by the lack of mic time and Ambrose to busy being Romans buddy, but now they've not even put them into a stipulation match.

Think they were really missing the chance to have a great match at TLC. Just need to look at Kevin Steen and Jon Moxley history in the indies where both have put on some classic matches when no DQ was involved, especially Owens when it comes to ladders.

Personally think this should of been the TLC match on the card, or at least the ladders match.

The booking for the women continues to be bizarre. Charlotte, the poor face that was going up against Paige, the woman that had turned on her, is now acting like a cocky heel. Paige shows up like some kind of face on Raw all of a sudden despite being booked as a heel for the past couple of months.

Paige now goes up against Charlotte at TLC for the title. This all despite them verging on burying her with loses to Natalya, Charlotte and now incredibly
a loss to Becky on this weeks SD a matter of days before the PPV. That would be acceptable if Paige hadn't have been taken loses all over the place prior to this.
.

Still they refuse to book it simple. If they're now putting Charlotte over as some kind of Flair style heel then why didn't they just go with that from the fecking start instead of turning Paige and creating a clusterfeck where one week somebody is a heel and the next they're a face. So annoying that they're treating good talent like absolute shit with embarrassing booking and writing.

They've got all the makings for a great Wrestlemania main event in Sasha/Bayley if they wanted it. Sasha could have won the title around the Rumble and Bayley could have got her call up. The history is there to tell and showcase the story. Simple booking which could easily lead to the best women's match they've ever had at Mania. Will that happen? Not a fecking chance. Expect a through the middle rope battle royal with 12 women for the title.

Just watched bits and pieces of some recent RAW episodes. Can someone explain to me why Tommy Dreamer was just on my television screen? Have we gone back to 1995?

Such an odd RAW, especially for the go home show. Have both The Tag Team Champs and the WH Champ pinned clean is a very weird choice. No explanation to why Roman VS Sheamus is a TLC match except that it suits the PPV. No real body to any of the stories. Ambrose VS KO is a moneymaker wasted because they had next to 0 tv time to build the feud. Diva's championship seems to be in Limbo: Is Paige a heel or a face now? Is Charlotte turning heel? Are team BAD turning into some sort of comedy act?

Some redeeming elements: Tytus and Stardust have some great funny moments together and the brawl at the end was good, if you ignore the talking bits of it. And they pulled the plug on the MexAmerica nonsense, so Del Rio can focus on the League of Nations (who have a very terrorist-like logo, for the record).

I can only watch TLC next Wednesday earliest due to a busy schedule, and I'm not too torn up about that. Which says a lot about how the PPV has been built I think...

Seen a gif of Reigns on Raw when Sheamus was coming out - he clearly thought the camera had cut away at that point and basically looked about as gutted as humanly possible about how dead that whole segment was. Felt sorry for him after seeing that, absolutely devoid of confidence.

I'll have a look for it when I get home from work.

Think they are in a full on a panic mode, they are sending out surveys left right and center, obviously trying to understand why they are losing fans hand over fist. Recent one was to do with WWE vs NXT.

I miss the days when something happened with Raw, now it's just a vechile for them to try and sell the network. Nothing happens, no title changes, no brawls continuing as the show goes off air, no cliffhangers and i know it's PG now, but having Romans Reigns give a promo about tater tots. feck off.

I do feel sorry for him cos he should be going towards being a huge star, but WWE seem to be fckin him over without even realising they are doing it and actually think they are making him a star. It feels like early Randy Orton pushes.

I didnt even realise TLC was this Sunday. Only felt like Survivor Series was a few weeks ago.

I might watch TLC (but not live).

I actually like Roman. But he isn't being used well. He should be a dirty heel. But if they persist with the face thing, at least keep him away from Sheamus. Sheamus could make Disneyland boring

How to recap RAW, Jesus. First off, if they are doing team extreme, it should only consist of Dudley/Hardy boyz (which by the way would have been awesome).

New faces of fear.....but the first team eliminated. Solid booking.

League of Nations is garbage if they don't let them dominate, having Roman beat them all up is just pointless.

Who the feck writes the promos for Roman, can they not see how shit they are. That segment with him and Seamus was pathetic, literally the worst thing I've seen in years.

Please don't promote Austin by having Seamus rip off his catchphrase and t-shirt. I hate this.

Plus point, New day are the best thing comedy wise since DX and The rock for me, this thing with team BAD could be great and give them a good rub (heaven knows they need it if they intend to keep fecking Sasha over)

Overall RAW has been killing me in recent weeks, luckily I have RAW 1997-99 downloaded to soften the blow (yes I intend to relive the entire attitude era and its making me so happy that I'm going to sleep at 3am every night and falling asleep in work).

Divas are awful, booked wrong, not given time to work, just being shafted in general considering there is a revolution going on.

Kevin Owens is the most promising heel I've seen in years. He should be pushed along with Cesaro as the top face. Them too could electrify if given the chance to fight over the title. Along with Rollins, Ambrose could really push boundaries for this current crop.

i watched survivor series and fell asleep mid-way ( missed the main event thankfully and that cash-in) , will not watch TLC live at least.

Wrestling needs a a couple of stars. Even the part-timers arent working. Maybe the ratings will go up with Cena's return.

First time that NXT was not that impressive I think. Still excited for Takeover next week, but the crowd was quite dead and maybe the card just had one match too many on it.
Caught up with the past three weeks today now I have my internet sorted, thought last nights show was good, put the finishing touches on the build to the special next week.

The feck were those outfits from Blake, Murphy and Bliss though. Rolling out the Freddie outfits :lol:
