Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 452: WWE - Who Watches, Even?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ouch.
---

Wow, today was a terrible day for wrestling.
---

I cant remember Brian Christophers good accomplishments because theyre overshadowed by the legit most awkward segment in Raw history.

Yes even over Pillmans gun and Paige taunting Charlotte by invoking Reid
---

Okay maybe Melanie Pillman wins. Vince at his lowest.

Still, most awkward worked segment <_<

Brian was never a great worker, but he had a weird charisma that got him over sometimes. Too Cool turned a parody act into legit cool, somehow, and he was a part of that.

RIP
---

Pillman's gun was such a fantastic segment.
---

In a sense, but Ive always hated that there was no good way out of it.

Tune in next week to see if Austin was killed??

And then the reveal of oh the gun missed but it was enough to run Austin off flies in the face of the entire point of the segment being that Austin is the biggest badass on earth who beat up an entire neighborhood to get to Pillman
---

Austin running away from a gun made him look like a badass who was also aware that Pillman was shooting pretty hard on him.
---

GMS's return in 2011 made me feel bad for the poor bugger.
---

So after 2 price increases and a reduction of channels I finally decided PlayStation Vue wasn't worth it anymore and I got to figure out how to check out Raw and Smackdown every week without cable
---

YouTube is the best way to watch Raw and Smackdown tbh.

QFT

but also check reddit's wwestreams if you need a stream. most of them are pretty bad and might give your computer a virus but at least one of them is good

Taka guest appearance on Being the Elite this week. He confirms that he really did chop off Val Venis' peepee. Then Okada destroyed Marty Scurll by saying he should go to 205 Live.

Also, the Young Bucks confirmed Luigi is second-best.

This really is the best wrestling show.
---

When Roman lost to Lashley at Extreme Rules, did he shake Lashley's hand afterwards? I don't remember him doing that.

Honestly Marty would only be Top 5 on 205 Live
---

205 Live is where the best Quality Product in the WWE is emanating from, so it'd be win-win.
---

That is a pretty deafening chorus of boos. This isn't going to end well at Summerslam

Resorting to a cheap pop to get cheers. Lol
---

Roman Reigns doesn't respect Brock Lesnar?!
---

Wow, it's like Heyman is talking to management here about insanity, and their constant trying to push Roman as the top face when the crowd hates the guy.
---

That sign in the background.

Eat. Sleep. No show. Repeat. So good
---

Roman said the B WORD
---

That Brock segment was so good.
---

Can someone link the segment in here when it gets on youtube so I don't have to do any work myself.

Before you call me lazy, I have worked the last 8 days straight.
---

lazy
---

Eff you SHINE.

Also jesus christ I only just learned right now that Brian Christopher actually WAS Jerry's Kid.

I fucking thought that was a work this entire time!
---

Did mono boast about sending Tyler back to nxt

Because that would be pro

Brock Lesnar is the WORST UNIVERSAL CHAMPION OF ALL TIME
---

Ibushi/Ishii is the best match of the G1 so far.
---

Most will say Naito/Omega, which that one was fantastic but

Ishii and Ibushi are both complete psychopaths and it was so much fun to just watch them try and kill each other.
---

They're really trying to make Brock out to be this big evil guy who doesn't care about the fans in an attempt to get Roman cheered. Curious to see if people go with it.
---

OH GOD

guys Daniel Cromie is going to cost brock the title at summerslam and raise Roman's arm

isnt he

ISNT HE

FUCK

oh Im just starting raw

If Summerslam ended with Paul turning on Brock and becoming the advocate for Roman, I'd be cool with that. It won't happen because Roman has to win clean, but it'd be fun. More Paul is always good.

Not when he's cutting the same promo for 2 years, though he tries I guess

But something fresh could be interesting

This is endearingly hilarious

Im 3 shows behind on G1, but my favorite match so far is Goto vs Ishii

by the way mojo would murder bobby in a shoot fight

Braun should have come out with MITB

Brock kills the ref

while waiting on a second ref Owens steals the briefcase, Braun chases him out

Brock hits another F5 on Angle

end the show

Nah that's Finn or Goldberg. At least Brocks got successful title defenses under his belt.
---

but Finn didn't even have the belt for 24 hrs, so how could he be the worst
---

I didn't watch, but on WoR, Bryan Alvarez said "Imagine if this was anyone but Roman Reigns and people actually wanted to cheer the guy. This would be a great storyline!"

Man, that's just sad.
---

That really is disappointing.

At the end of the show, was the crowd chanting "We want Roman" or "We want Strowman"? I couldn't figure it out. I would assume it was Strowman since he's actually over and had the briefcase.
---

It was Reigns
---

They did mention they finally got the crowd to cheer for Reigns, but keep in mind it was in his home town too.

But I just think that it would have been a much bigger reaction if it were Strowman, Seth, or even Lashley in that spot and people would be much happier.
---

RAW was a bit of a Yawner, tbh (Come at me, Seph. Go on)

But there is *some* Promise for next week.

Seth continues do his thing, I'm hoping SS is the capper for him v Ziggler/Drew so he can move on.

It felt like they phoned it in so they can have something better in the coming 7 days.

Heyman made some great points though.

Now to turn my attention to 205L. Gulak could very well steal the CW title SS, I don't think Ceddy will tap but will pass.
---

Did they bother to handwave why Braun didnt cash in?
