GDT: WWE Crown Jewel (November 2nd 2018)

[Scott Stevens]

What happened after this? Did he get the mask back?

He put it back on.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I LOVE the fact Brock is champion again, hopefully he gets another long reign

 

[Emperoreddy]

Depends how intense his chemo is.

If he is on chemo and not the Brian Boyle cancer pill, he isn’t going to be at Mania.

He won’t have time to get in shape after it ravishes his body. That assumes it even works and goes into remission.

 

[Natey]

WWE prob the type of petty that they had Shane win so they can have a McMahon going around saying they're the best in the world while CM Punk cries at home.

Never thought of that but good, I hate Punk.

 

[Natey]

Yeah after Shane’s overenthusiastic celebration and reaction after winning I got the vibe that this is just something they tuck away and never mention again.

I thought the dude was going to fire an injured Miz for losing lol

Miz will walk out fine on SD lol

 

[Natey]

Not a bad show outside of the Shane crap. Both Miz or Dolph could have used a big win. I very much enjoyed the tournament up to that point but I always loved tournaments.

I hate Lesnar, but I'm much more excited for Brock v. AJ than Braun v. AJ.

Like a typical WWE PPV, everything up to AJ's match is good and everything after is trash. It's a formula at this point. Everything up to AJ was **3/4-***3/4. After had two DUDs and a *1\2 affair.

 

[Conrad McBenis]

Only watched the Universal Title match.

They had to be grooming Braun having him kick out of three (four?) F5s after being attacked before the match started.

What was the point of making Brock look like a geek if Braun won't be Champion walking out of the Rumble?

 

[GKJ]

Dave said the idea is that Shane is going heel and he’s going to put winning the tournament over as HEAT.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Shane has to be turning heel. That’s the only way potentially firing somebody and then inserting himself in and then the over the top celebration makes any sense.

 

[Jussi]

Simon Miller didn't disappoint.

People are talking like he can be back in 2020 but that’s just not realistic either imo.

If Roman is going the chemo route and all goes well the first time around - he's probably still looking at up to 6 months of JUST chemo.

Early 2021 feels like a best case scenario but I'm not a doctor.

Yeah, and this is a remission. It’ll be intense and his body may never be the same or up to wrestle again.

I said it in another thread, and while everyone was hoping and optimistic the night of and a couple days later, when reality sets in we should just be hopeful that he survives and lives a normal life afterwards. Forget coming back for now, just beat it and live a normal life.

 

[Kimi]

I think the correct thing to do in regards to Reigns is to assume that he's never ever coming back, and you should book and plan without him featuring at all.

 

[Paris in Flames]

This is correct. Whether it be because you don't know when he'll be back or if he ever does come back (maybe he retires...maybe chemo leaves his road back very hard...I won't even entertain the other option)...you can't even think about Roman and booking with him in mind until he's at the arena the night of and fully ready.

Nobody in the world will be mad if they rewrite everything for his return so until then...don't even worry about it.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

I don't watch wrestling anymore...but man Lesnar lost alot of muscle and sorta looks small now from what i remember.

It's his UFC prep.

Gotta get off the juice.

.....and still fail the drug test.

Chemo ravages.
Rick Rude was ravishing.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

John Pollock on the Postwrestling post-show said he was told Shane winning the tournament in this fashion was always the plan and intended to set up Survivor Series.

This was the first time I noticed WWE even mention Survivor Series this year. They are mailing it even way more than usual it seems.

Too many other shows to promote. And it doesn't mean anything.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Why though? Him having a long reign means that the WWE doesn't have a Universal champion. He'll show up every few months and put on crappy, boring matches.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Anyway, my friends and I were planning on going to WrestleMania in NY, but after this event taking place and the results of it, I just don't want to spend any more money on WWE than I already do (I'm keeping the Network...). I'll use the money for a trip to San Diego or something instead.

One would think Raw vs Smackdown vs NXT plan exists but this year would have been too rushed to do that. Maybe add NXT champs to Night Of Champions?

NXT is never part of these major shows, save for Evolution which was a special occasion.
