Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 455: WWE is Relent-Lass-ly fighting crowd reactions

(+) Yeah! (+)

Trish is fine as a talker, as is Elias. But seriously.. who wrote "I'm gonna have to ask you to..... silence your cellphone, hold your applause, and most importantly Elias shut your mouth."

Simply disgusting.

It's literally a play on Elias' catchphrase, why would this be bad?

BTW, I saw Mile 22 today which may seem unrelated but it had Ronda Rousey in it.

There's a scene where a truck she's in gets blown up and she has to pull herself out of the wreckage with a badly scarred face and wounds all over. And, to borrow the wrestling vernacular, she sells it incredibly well and makes it completely believable that she's in a tremendous amount of pain. Which makes me wonder if working with whatever acting coach/director helped her when she was required to sell in the WWE.

2 Things: Becky is wonderful

I wish Orton had said "Careful what you wish for" after Jeff told him they were fighting at HIAC.
---

Also I want Orton to head punt Jeff off the cell through a table.

It's not a good play on his catchphrase. It's long-winded, it's awkward, and the punchline isn't anything that makes the rest of it worth it. Using the "silence your cellphones and hold your applause" line to intimidate someone is more silly than threatening. Wrong catchphrase to try that with.

Just look at how it starts. I'm gonna have to ask you to silence your cellphone. Ooooh scary Trish.

It probably doesn't help that Trish takes a long pause right before she starts the line but I'm not sure there's anything she could've done to make me like that one.

...It's not supposed to be scary or threatening, it's supposed to mock him.

But his foot gets caught in Jeffs ear hole after Orton stretched it out so far and he flies off with him

Justice

I'm very very confused by this complaint, to be honest. This ain't Bobby Lashley doing a terrible play on Finlay's catchphrase.

I can dig it.

I just want Orton to burn down another compound. The Hardy one will do nicely.

I watched Orton on UUDD and kept waiting for him to punt Woods, but he was actually nice and respectful and now I just can't

Well in my opinion that line fell ultra flat. I didn't feel like Elias got one-upped in any sense when Trish said that. Not threatened, mocked, anything. Just kinda felt like Trish swung and missed.

The Bobby Lashley one is not good either but at least there's a bit of a bluntness to it that's somewhat funny. I mean I'd rather not hear either that line or the Trish line but... idk I prefer Lashley calling Finlay a bastard lmfao

You mean a bathturd.

Ellias calling trish 60 got me to oooooo
---

the whole elias trish segment was great
---

Yeah I watched it back

It was good

Jeff's no stranger to having shit burn down, so it'd probably unfaze him.

Or send him off on some Crazy "I wanna cut you up but let you live and feed you a couple pieces" Joker-esque rampage....

Kenny Omega is PWI 500 #1

I feel like Okada still should have held it even though Kenny beat him right at the end of the ranking period

But then again he also beat him right at the start of the ranking period, so theres an argument that he went 2-0 against Okada

But Kenny also lost to other people like Jay White and Cody
---

I thought AJ might win honestly.
---

Misread that as Kenny King for a second and was like "wtf"

Don't ask
---

AJ was #2

He did trade the US with Owens and then lost it to Corbin

Plus losses during his reign to Brock, Cena, and Nakamura
---

1. Kenny Omega
2. AJ Styles
3. Okada
4. Brock Lesnar
5. Seth Rollins
6. Braun Strowman
7. Roman Reigns
8. Cody
9. Naito
10. The Miz
---

Kenny deserved winner.

We treat the WWE's push for women like a joke, but just look at what the top woman in the company has been doing without any of the usual overmarketed praise from the company accompanying it:

Kairi Sane accidentally threw her title into the audience at an NXT house show because her new entrance is her opening a treasure chest full of coins and her title. She went to throw the coins and the title slipped off her shoulder and into the crowd.

Real talk that is a fucking awesome entrance.

Here comes the booooootaaaaay, here comes the booty.

^ Aaar!

It's so disappointing to think that Kairi will be badly fucked up shortly after she reaches the main roster. She's so much fun.

I don't get why Velveteen Dream fans want him to be called up. Like he's not gonna be a total jobber :/

dream is hbk levels of charisma imo

if they give him a chance he could be a star

I dunno hes not a muscly white guy with a guitar so his odds of getting an honest shot are low.

Even if they do give him a chance, if he ever reaches a level near the upper card he's just going to get fed to Roman anyway.

I managed to get tickets for the ROH/NJPW Madison Square Garden show.

(This is not news but Ticketmaster sucks. There was a $26 service charge on $50 tickets.)
---

More people need to use tickpick. Zero service fees for buyers.

Or use Ticketsnow which goes via Ticketmaster and has less service fees that using ticketmaster. Added bonus of having more face value tickets available even when ticketmaster shows only higher priced resale tickets available

Edit: Although actually it seems you got a great deal. All tickets on tickpick and ticketsnow way more than $50 a ticket

Twickets.live is fantastic for resale, only allows face value and emails you when a ticket is posted

that's how i got all my progress tickets, and several concerts
---

Btw I heard Bryan say the plan now is to not portray Becky as a heel but also still not turn Charlotte heel.

So why not just have had them both stay faces to begin with?
---

Well I think the idea is that they will effectively both stay faces to begin with and that they're actually not being stubborn for once

Which is exactly the (hopeful) interpretation I took of it when Summerslam happened because it made sense

And it still makes sense if you ignore that one SD promo after it

Ignoring RD on Twitter is probably good practice in general if you want things to make sense.

I wonder if Ed Koskey is on Twitter somewhere arguing about his Raw storylines
---

It wouldn't shock me in the least if there were quite a few WWE employees using fake accounts on Twitter to make it appear as though regular fans are the ones claiming that the company is actually good.
