WWE Show Discussion

[Generations]

Thought that both Collision and Raw were great this week. 

Gunther passing 75 title defenses is insane. Dude is a legendary workhorse. - Not throwaway matches, either. Tons of epic matches with memorable moments. Absolute hoss.

75 title defenses? Jesus christ.. probably more than Roman Reigns in this whole 3 year reign.

[Generations]

That includes dark matches and house shows, of course...but the stats basically mean he's defended it every 6.5 days...or once a week since he's held it.

[T-Hell]

Honestly he should be the one to dethrone Roman, but most likely won't.

[Generations]

Gunther would be a prime candidate for being the Undertaker of this generation, IMO. He should never be booked in any way that undercuts his size or dominance. Dethroning Reigns doesn't really speak to me...just because that still feels like it needs to be done by Cody. But...I'm sure Gunther's time as a world champion will come soon. Maybe Cody takes the belt from Reigns, and then Gunther takes the belt from Cody. I feel like a Cody/Gunther feud would be capable of producing some 5-star classics.

[BestInTheWorld614]

The best part about Gunther is he doesn’t have one finisher. It always feels like a real fight with him where he can end a match with anything.

[StillDriven]

I have this feeling in my gut that Roman will keep the title for another 12 months. Cody Rhodes seems like the only true candidate that can finally dethrone Roman at WM. Deep down it just feels like WWE is enjoying the ride of continuing to out Roman over everybody else. At this point it just feels like he will keep the title until his official retirement. As a fan I feel brainwashed to believe that WWE looks at Roman Reigns as the unstoppable money machine with no need to ever let his belt go. I don't see any signs of him letting the belt go any time soon at all.

The opening to SD with LA and Heyman was brilliant. They play off each other so damn well.

[Generations]

Aldis having Pierce removed is great. 

[Generations]

Okay...the "buena suerte" was good. I popped. Lol

[Generations]

Nia getting booed the second she takes the mic is the way. 

[Jeb ★]

Theory and Waller wish they had the heat Logan and Dominik would have if they were to become a tag team

[Generations]

Putting Dom and Paul in the same segment was definitely a genius booking move. I was slightly disappointed that the crowd didn't boo them both equally...but I guess the atomic Dom heat is unmatched. Lol

Oh for the love of Christ. NEVER...GIVE NIA...A *censored*ING MIC! 

[Generations]

Remember when LA Knight won that thing to be the face of Slim Jim...and then it was never spoken of again? Lol

[T-Hell]

 

[T-Hell]

 

She's *censored*ing awesome, she's already a future hall of famer. Speaking of which, when Lilian Garcia and Tony Chimmel for the HoF.

[Graeme Jones]

Ricochet is a lucky bastard!

[MatrixTN]

Reminder: Tonight's SD is on FS1 tonight. (World Series G1)

[Generations]

Reigns' entrance being interrupted and being straight ignored by LA Knight is great. 

Lol.

[Generations]

Reigns has somehow entered another stage of his character. His mannerisms have shifted again.

Guy is always telling a story.

[Generations]

The "Greatest of all Time" moniker for Cena is so forced. Lol

 

[Generations]

Announcing that it's been 4 months since Rollins had a singles match on Raw is a weird flex. Feels like the kind of thing you should quietly rectify and not draw attention to. 

[A N T I -]

I turned on Raw just to see it was Seth doing another one of those long Raw soliloquies and I tuned right back out again. I miss the days when a really interesting match or something really wild was happening on my tv screen. These days I’d rather watch crime dramas than wrestling. I just can’t stand to watch what American wrestling has turned into. Or atleast I’d rather stick to PLE’s and live events that aren’t ruined by the timing of commercial breaks. I can’t even remember the last PLE I watched, now that I think about it.

The RAW and SD formats are brutal. So much downtime with all the replays, video packages, and commercials. And the way they go to commercial within the first two minutes of a match just kills the drama and pacing. It’s terrible. At least SD is a shorter show, which makes it easier to get through. But yeah, the way they format the show combined with mostly poor creative and formulaic matches with dull wrestlers just makes me lose interest.

Gunther, LA Knight, and Heyman, however, grab my attention almost every time they’re on, so there’s that.
