Counting Lights Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I totally get what's going on, I wasn't bothered by the SD Tag match at Mania either. But I think that's the point, it's gotten to the stage where their matches are skippable because you know what's gonna happen. I barely remember the match at Mania and I skipped the one at GRR cos I knew exactly what those matches were gonna be (and from what I've read, I was right). This is my point of view as well. It's not bad booking as far as establishing them as THE dominant team, but it makes their matches pretty dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 How else would you book them as THE dominant team though? Exercise it by showing it in their first set of matches, have them capture titles and then boom, you can let them have longer and more meaningful matches as they seek to defend them during their reign. It's just the start of them being SDL's top team, I'm sure it'll progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counting Lights Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 You're not wrong Creep. It's not bad booking having them destroy Uso's or New Day, it just makes for dry matches. For now. I'm sure once they find a perfect rival team (Sanity possibly) we'll be getting some great wars, but for now...their segments are pretty skippable.

JGPLX. Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Yeah you're probably right Creep. But for me, it's been the same stuff since they debuted which was like 6 months ago. It might be the easiest way to build them up as a monster heel tag team, but it ends up not being entertaining for me. Also in regards to their matches with The Usos, I was expecting similar quality to their matches back in 2013(?) (not necessarily the same style, just the quality), but instead we got squashes. And New Day are so good as well so I was expected good things between the two teams but that didn't happen either (although I don't recall seeing a 2-on-2 match with them). I'm sure the matches will get better with time, but I'll most likely be skipping them until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'm often right. It's bizarre how often it happens tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Kazu Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I think it's fine to book them as dominant before they are the champs but let them start showing some vulnerability now, they are heels after all. The tag division isn't the deepest either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_machismo Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Wow forgot this PPV is happening later. Same as Jmerc, AJ vs Naka should main event this since it's for the WWE championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counting Lights Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 It's weird this is tonight. I might just watch it tomorrow so I can skip around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senex Beast Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 I don't have any plans at that time and so I'll probably just watch the whole thing. I usually don't skip around but I will skip the preshow match this time and I don't often skip even those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestInTheWorld614 Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Ill probably start late so I can skip most of it. Not even really interested in the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Just found out that I'll actually be home to watch this. Nice. I agree, I'm not too hyped about the card...but it also feels like a sleeper event to me. Like it could be really good in spite of what it looks like.

Guest Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Hope they introduce a new stage design for PPVs since they're all gonna be co-branded moving forward. Cause it's gonna be hella weird if they all just use the SD set for every PPV like the Big Four (minus Mania) do now lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Jones Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Ehh.. not hyped for this, so my expectations aren't high.. could be a good PPV, but honestly? I have no faith in WWE right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
