GDT: WWE Fastlane (11th March 2018) - Six-Men, No Gimmick

[Sarcastic]

I haven't been watching.. but Shane/KO/Sami has been a thing for a long time. It's going to WM. It is awesome for Sami/KO.

It's just been going on for so long at this point. I enjoyed it up to the last couple months but now it's just played out.

 

[UnrealMachine]

Shane stood around and creepily watched the match up close like he bought a ticket to a wrestling Safari. So awkward. Wish he had gotten kicked hard enough to not wake up for the rest of the match.

 

[Cor]

So.... Zayn vs Owens vs Shane ???? with Bryan as ref?

 

[GKJ]

I can see Sami, but what is the appeal of KO and Shane being in a ring again? They already did a hell in a cell

 

[SeidoN]

I cant wait for tuesday when Cena inserts himself into the title match because hes John Cena.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Well that was annoying, Shane just shoving himself in the match like that. Half-expected him to score a pinfall of his own and announce himself as the champion.

Disagreed with the announcers afterwards though, going on about AJ being phenomenal when he was lying outside the ring for ten minutes before that last second comeback.

Gonna be tomorrow

I could see Sami/KO with Shane as the ref, the story being he has to give one of them the win

its not ideal but it beats them being in a rumble I guess

 

[GKJ]

This is like best Orton I've ever seen on Talking Smack

 

[SladeWilson23]

I do think that Orton winning was quite Roode.
It's a good thing Asuka decided to challenge Charlotte, otherwise @Emperoreddy would have Riotted.
The 6 pack challenge was in fact phenomenal!

Seriously though, I really enjoyed that PPV.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Not even a single interesting story on this rtwm.

Randall in rare form on talking smack. In response to Roode DDT'ing him after the match: "I'm gonna let that go. I've got a lot of respect for Roode."

Good lord, what an awful response for a wrestler. Can you imagine Stone Cold or Rock cutting a promo like that?

 

[Emperoreddy]

I do think that Orton winning was quite Roode.

Did they make that official? Asuka challenged Charlotte?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Did they make that official? Asuka challenged Charlotte?

Yes. Confirmed on Talking Smack.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Here's a few nitpicky things.

• The RKO from a dude jumping off the top rope has been overdone.
• I would have preferred the Bludgeon Brothers attack to come after the match and not during it.
• I would have preferred Shane's interference to be not so impactful on the outcome. Instead of blatantly costing Zayn and Owens the win, just have him deck the two of them when they're on the outside.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Did they make that official? Asuka challenged Charlotte?

Would they have gone through with having Asuka show up and point to the sign just to pull the rug out from underneath?

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

I know that this is an era of smart internet fans but I just hate how they freely mix kayfabe with reality in storylines. Why are they ripping off Vince Russo of all people?

Just tell me a story about people who want to fight each other.

 

[GKJ]

Shane and Vince vs. Sami and KO is my prediction

 

[Frankie Spankie]

I didn't watch any of Fastlane, should I?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Shane and Vince vs. Sami and KO is my prediction

That would be a waste of Sami and KO. Good for their careers though.

 

[Sarcastic]

I didn't watch any of Fastlane, should I?

No

 

[GKJ]

That would be a waste of Sami and KO. Good for their careers though.

As I keep saying, Wrestlemania is a spectacle. There will be enough good matches. We've seen people over the years get wasted having to work a McMahon and get elevated for it.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

I agree. That's why I said it would be good for their careers even if it is a waste of their talent.

The McMahons are such narcissists. They always to make everything about them. The Rousey thing is also quite pathetic.

 

[TD Charlie]

I enjoyed the main event quite a bit. I’ll just choose to believe that Shane was never involved and enjoy it with him blacked out of the memory. It was a fun match otherwise. Even though KO v Zayn has been ongoing for what seems like ten years it’s still entertaining to me.

I’m somewhat surprised they’re gonna move forward with AJ v Nakamura, although there’s plenty of time to call an audible. The match itself should be fun, provided they give it enough time.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

I actually find Shane to be worse than Stephanie at this point. They are both really annoying, but at least Steph is supposed to be annoying.

 

[GKJ]

I agree. That's why I said it would be good for their careers even if it is a waste of their talent.

The McMahons are such narcissists. They always to make everything about them. The Rousey thing is also quite pathetic.

The McMahons have evidence that it gets other people over. Sticking Sami in this feud and turning him heel took from biggest geek to like the best heel in the company. Sami vs. Shane is probably how it should end.
