y tho?

Why not?

 

[SeidoN]

Why not?

all the matches on the card and hes calling that one? meh

 

[GKJ]

Talk was starting the surface that that match won't be quick. Still don't think it'll go more than a few minutes though

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

I don't see why they don't let him just do the entire show if he wanted.

You keep a special thing special by not using it all the time.


Far more impact when it's just a one off.

Oh yeah because having him at one full PPV over the last decade is clearly too much to keep it special.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

JR should call Taker's last match.

What's the source for this one?

TIJ.

Yeah but he didn't. All Brock did was suplex him 15 times and eat a couple of superman punches.

I don't buy him punching Brock until he agreed to bust his head open hard way.

It was a great match.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

I haven't seen it but nikki posted literal video with the title being about the proposal rumor at WM and based on that we can just assume it's 100% not happening.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Brie posted a video saying 100% it wasn't happening which means it is happening.

Cena most likely already did the behind the scenes proposal.

It's not about the show, it's about the match. If he does the entire show, it's meaningless that he does the match.

nobody gives a **** about him doing lesnar-goldberg it has zero meaning.

It's not about giving a ****. You never will no matter what, you'll never accept any storyline and you'll always find a way to ***** about it. That's just how it is, it's basically why most of us are here lol.

But you can't ignore what the match is, and what it is trying to be. Even the most basic understanding of wrestling promoting should let you understand that. They have a big match between a legend and a monster, they've built it over a long time, they've made it bigger by putting it on the biggest show, they've made it bigger by involving the title, they're making it bigger with JR commentating.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Rollins is getting better.

 

[DenisSamson3]

nobod gives a **** about him doing lesnar-goldberg it has zero meaning.

I'm not so sure Jr has a deceNt following. His last appearance was raw 1000.

First off, how is this a storyline?

putting JR on commentary for what will probably be a 5 minute match doesn't make it any bigger of a moment and it's not like it was even advertised if that were the case. People literally found out and reported about it well after the go home shows for mania. If that's your idea of trying to make the match bigger and hyped, that's a terrible job of it.

you think vince intended that? if that were the case he would have let JR do HBK vs Taker but guess what? he rejected the decision because he wanted the weekly commentary team to do it instead. If there was ever an oopurtunity to make a match more hyped by using JR, it would have been that.


I'm not against JR doing the match. I'm against the thought of it having to be once a millenium for him to show up and then having to do just 1 match when he's literally the best the WWE has ever had and quite possibly the best any wrestling company has ever had. Him being on 1 PPV once in a blue moon would not hurt whatsoever.

 

[Kimi]

Goldberg vs Lesnar is a storyline. I'm confused why you'd think otherwise.


It's not about selling the show, it's about making it bigger in it's self. You don't need to advertise every last thing, surprises still happen when you take your head out of the wrestling gossip world (notice that WWE said nothing about JR's wife when every other company did? That was deliberate).

This is just a way of highlighting the match more when it's actually happening. JR doing a single match makes it stand out far more than if JR did the entire show. It's about being special on a big show. You have to understand that as it's too basic to really explain.


And Using JR now is extremely different from any other time in the past. The industry is at the start of a massive turf war, and JR is a key figure right in the middle of it. That is painfully obvious, so the past is very much irrelevant.

"You don't need to advertise every last thing"

You wanna tell that to the people that force them to say ultimte thrill ride and point at the mania logo 68,000 times the last 2 weeks?

or how they have advertised literally everything that is on the show including Al ****ing roker being the special guest for cena and miz's match?

please. if there's something to advertise, they will do it. this is the companmy that advertises gigantic returns on social media or house shows instead of at big events or even to end a weekly show.


Its pretty evident you're just basing all your points on your own opinion and don't accept anything else so i don't see the point in continuing this.

 

[Emperoreddy]

The former Drew Galloway has officially signed with WWE and is heading for NXT.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Paige may be pregnant.

 

[Disclose]

whach them bring her back and pull a unicorn baby angle with Xavier.... #Attitude

 

[Emperoreddy]

Was really hoping to go one weekend without Paige in the news.

 

[The Gongshow]

I could care less about Paige, I was never a fan of hers when she wasn't in trouble all the time or doing stupid stuff.

 

[Kimi]

Was really hoping to go one weekend without Paige in the news.

You'll get her Mum in the new later in the month with her *****ing about WWE using her building for the UK tapings right before she had a big show.
