Rhodes responds to wwe using starrcade and war games.


There was a debate in this thread about this topic a few weeks back.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

WWE put The Shield back together for TLC because they were worried with no Lesnar or Cena that there'd be no attraction for the event.

 

[Emperoreddy]

What an absolute waste of the reunion

 

[GKJ]

Being wasteful hasn't stopped them from doing anything. they don't have enough to draw it out further.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

WWE may be building to Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn vs. AJ Styles & Shane McMahon at Survivor Series.

 

[dahrougem2]

Oh god please, no. Bless Shane for his willingness to take insane bumps but he's not an active wrestler. It's not believable that he can have these long *wrestling* matches and be seen as this giant force who is so difficult to beat. His punches are cringe worthy.

 

[GKJ]

They wouldn't keep doing it if it didn't draw.

 

[ColePens]

Why do people shit on Shane? His punches suck but he is entertaining. This feud makes sense, too. He runs SD and has been at odds with KO since KO arrived. It is incredibly simply and smart booking. KO has skyrocketed back to where he was on his arrival during the Cena feud. The promos are fun. The match was a freaking blast. It's a personal grudge match. KO getting screwed vs. personal jabs at the guy's family.

Bring that match on. High profile for everyone.

I don't have a problem with Shane personally, it's how he's viewed as some huge obstacle to overcome. Maybe that's on Vince for telling the announcers to get him over like crazy.

Counter argument: Jinder Mahal is still WWE champion.

Who main-evented the PPV inside the cell last night?

Shane McMahon is a middle aged businessman, not a wrestler. The longer any active wrestler goes in a competitive match with Shane, as in no squash or outside interference or cheating from Shane, the worse the actual wrestler looks. I know that it is wrestling and that there is the suspension of disbelief and all that, but there are ways to book these kind of matches that don't leave the active wrestler looking nearly equal to a middle aged businessman. That match was booked terribly, just like the terrible McMahon-Styles match.

 

[ColePens]

Honestly Shane has earned his keep, IMO. The match was booked incredible. That's the fun of wrestling. Agree to disagree. It told a good story and I really liked how Shane uses his body as a weapon.

 

[Cor]

I thought the match was great as well.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Roman Reigns - "we don't need guys running around doing too sweets, and we don't need guys running around acting like they're DX from 15 years ago, we need original characters."

 

[M.C.G. 31]

 

[Emperoreddy]

I think a tweet of disappointment is way more painful and sharp then a witty comeback.

Basically called Roman a scumbag but not wanting to let him get over in a "feud"

 

[GKJ]

Everyone's building a great case for Vince to break the bank when it is time.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Take it with a grain of salt because it's The Sun, but apparently Conor McGregor is negotiating to appear at Wrestlemania 34.

 

[SeidoN]

Take it with a grain of salt because it's The Sun

grain of salt?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Dana White also said WWE wouldn't allow Brock Lesnar to crossover while under contract anymore.

 

[dahrougem2]

Can't imagine Brock is too happy about that

 

[Kimi]

Then he shouldn't have gone and failed his drug test.

 

[scrubadam]

Then he shouldn't have gone and failed his drug test.

Agree. and the rest of the quote was that they don't want Lesnar doing a cross over because last time no one looked good.

If Lesnar never tested positive Vince would probably be open to having Lesnar go back to UFC. Its good for WWE to have a wrestler beating people for real on their roster.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

So PWS is reporting that WWE producer Jimmy Jacobs is no longer working for the company after his photo with Bullet Club during their Raw invasion, Meltzer confirmed the report was 100% accurate.
