Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 424: The Misadventures of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn

(+) Yeah! (+)

Naughty boys get sent home
---

Rumor from PWInsider saying people believe Neville might be coming back to the WWE.
---

If theyre holding him hostage by his contract he may as well
---

Talking of things that are virtually impossible to happen

One year Jericho topped PWI's Most overrated and least overrated

Jack Swagger has signed with Bellator

Okay. Should go better than Phil Brooks
---

I thought Swagger was the one a while ago where there was a rumor someone wanted out of their contract to do MMA. I think people suspected Swagger and Ziggler for some reason.

The reason probably being their legit amateur wrestling credentials
---

Oh, I know about Swagger's credentials. But man, I always forget that Ziggler was an amateur wrestler for some reason.
---

Probably because Ziggler is one of the most fake looking wrestlers on the roster and doesn't really show his amateur wrestling at all.

THANK YOU for acknowledging this Big E
---

big e best e
---

Wow, Roman is back to being over. Isn't that nice, just don't shove him down our throats and bring the shield back.
---

If only he got the mumps years ago.
---

It's true. Now just fuck off with him being in the title picture for a bit and we'll be fine.
---

so instagram spoiled me on the team shake up

no comments in here though?
---

Was his name Eddy or Eddie?

I've seen both. In fact I've seen both on TV. Why are these different?

He went by Eddy

Everyone before WWE just spelled it however the graphics guy felt like it

WWE just decided to go with the -ie

Huh so Reigns fought with the Shield and got cheered.

Funny that. Really funny and great.
---

As long as he's with them folk will cheer. Solo, they'll boo the piss out of him. Kind of like how Road Dogg and X-Pac were together in their second run as a tag team sporting the DX name.
---

Any else laugh at when Gallows and Anderson came out, the cameraman's shot of the crowd holding up Too Sweet also had a Young Bucks shirt front and center?

Really fucking stupid
---

What's stupid?

That anyone would think even for a second that one of the most popular and universally beloved acts of the century would be booed on their return match?
---

I kind of wish steel chairs would disappear pretty much permanently from the WWE. Every time I see guys like Kane, who hates everything, and Braun, who should want revenge on Kane for sort of murdering him, whacking each other on the back I just kind of cringe. It really just hurts the suspension of disbelief when you can see so clearly that they're awkwardly positioning themselves to allow for less dangerous chair shots. I'd rather just not have chair shots period.
---

Kane should bring back Undertaker's move of sticking the chair edge on the other guy's throat and throwing their head toward the ground. If you're going to use a chair, at least try to murder the opponent with it

Agreed

Plus wrestling already has weapon tropes like kendo sticks where you can explain why a shot to the back would hurt more than a head shot
---

I think we can ALL agree that the worst weapon faux pas will always and forever go to hunter's "cover the head of the sledgehammer with my hand and crush my hand between your stomach and the weapon"
---

I think you're forgetting submission moves on the announce table
---

I always hate the spot where someone will put someone on a table, then set up another on top of them, and then jump through them

Youre putting yourself through a table that wont affect the opponent just to get to him
---

Is this an Indy thing?

Not a weapon, but I think one of the biggest things I hate in wrestling are bridging armbars

There's literally nothing stopping the person from just rolling over but themself!
---

I know Shield invading is probably going to happen, but Charlotte gets a title match, in her hometown (and probably going to win)...so, not main eventing is so dumb.

Unless Vince gets giddy over the whole, "Let's beat faces at home." thing as usual.
---

Most submissions are pretty bad
---

See I can *kind of* make sense about submissions on the announce table. The ring has some light padding, and the table is hard and rigid with bumps and holes. So pressure on, say, their stomach would hurt more, or be more uncomfortable

but shit like paige turner or whatever she did where they are hanging in the air makes no sense
---

Did I just see Charlotte mouth "Dad stop!" when he started bowing to her?
---

Watching Raw

they missed such an oppertunity when Steph asked Roman why he was gone

He should have said "Big Dawg had to get his rabbies shot, but he's good to go now"
---

I dont really watch NXT, just the specials even though there seems to be some interesting guys there. What are some key matches or segments/episodes to watch before Wargames? Is there a good story build for it or did they say we're doing this and building to just bring them into the matches
---

Ok give me Joe and Balor vs The Bar please
---

Looks like Kevin Owens streak is coming to an end.
---

So... uh. Pretty clear it's a work now.... Right?

They didn't even job.... and in fact they were the only 2 Smackdown people in the building not to get killed. Even Charlotte was destroyed. But not KO and Zayn.

ha

Did they ever reference the fact they were sent home at all?

Zayn and Owens are sooooooo costing SD the match at Survivor Series.

true, but it's a screwjob so they WOULD have won, if not for Kevin and Sami.

Don't need to. They were working the smarks, like I said from the beginning.

That's probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Go away.

How the hell is it "working the smarks" when two days after dirt sheets said they were sent home, the same dirt sheets confirmed they were going to be on today, effectively missing no legitimate time?
---

What's the endgame if they were working smarks exactly.

So smarks wouldn't think they'd be at Survivor Series for... 48 hours!

Duuuuh
