Last year watched the HOF, and was bored to tears by the long speeches, and I thought that this year would be better. Vader talked so long I was wondering if he was the inductor or the inductee. I started to wonder if this was the HOF or the Mchael P.S. Hayes Show. (Boy I could not get over Jimmy Garvin!) And the Warrior award. OMG. She started blathering on, and I went and ate something. Came back 15 minutes later, and she was still going on! And then the same with Joan Lunden. I think they should dump that award..seems misplaced. But I did like that Legacy section. Is it me, or do people really want to listen to and watch all this?
I loved every minute of the event so the only thing we agree on is that the Legacy section was a great add. Frankly, I think anyone that can’t appreciate the message that Joan Lunden gave the audience really needs to open their eyes and see the world. If you can’t see the important message she shared then wow, that’s just a real shame. There is more to life than just wrestling. I loved Vader’s stories and the Freeboards segment was awesome. So I can’t speak for anyone but myself but yes, I did really want to listen to all of it. I loved the entire show.
I noticed that Dave Scherer had said on more than one occasion that Dean Ambrose should have beat HHH for the title at roadblock, make Ambrose vs Lesnar for the title and HHH vs Reigns a grudge match. However, Reigns won that triple threat match at Fastlane to become 'number one contender to face the world champion at Wrestlemania', not 'number one contender to face HHH at Wrestlemania'. If Ambrose did become champion, why should Reigns still go after HHH at WM? Wasn't his original motive for chasing HHH the title itself?
I have also said, many times here on the site, that it would be very easy to shoot an angle to explain why Reigns would instead fight HHH had Ambrose won the Title (H could have screwed Reigns, Reigns could have decided he would rather get a piece of H, etc.). Storylines change in WWE. Remember when John Cena was fired? Get the drift?
Can you provide the logic on this aspect of tag team wrestling? Frequently there will be a match where one wrestler is beat up by the opposing team for what feels like 5-7 minutes. Things are looking grim. He hits a move that stuns his opponent, leaving both on the mat. Dramatically, he tags his partner right as the opponent is tagging his. The fresh man comes in and attacks the competition. Our battered wrestler rests for 30-45 seconds and then tags himself back in. This takes me out of the match and suggests that he “wasn’t hurt that bad” by the opponents. Do most tag team wrestlers have Wolverine’s mutant healing ability, where half a minute of rest restores you to “like new” condition? It would be more believable to rest for at least 2-3 minutes!
The logic is that it’s a show and they want you to think that guy is such a good athlete that a small break, plus a rush of adrenaline, will get him right back in it. Frankly, it’s not that much different than when a wrestler looks left for dead after taking finishers then comes back to mount offense.
Since the Ryback build yup has been one big guy is better than a little guy, wouldn't it have made sense to have him compete against all the little guys and let Sami and Kevin tear the house down?
It sure would have. I wish that they would have done KO vs. Sami as well.
Should WWE have Mauro Ranallo and Jerry Lawler call SmackDown without Byron Saxton? It would make the two further develop chemistry with each other as Mauro has immediately become the best commentator WWE has right now while it's refreshing to hear King be a heel commentator again.
I would love that. Ranallo is so, so good that the more time he gets to talk, the happier I would be. With that said, I also detest three man announce teams. I just think two is the perfect number.
