forameus 2,420 Report post Posted November 19, 2020 Did you know, there's actually one of WWE's big 4 at the weekend? No? Fair enough. Card looks...alright, I guess. Definitely going to be some decent matches in there, but they really don't seem to care too much about it, particularly when in past years they've really leaned into things to deliver largely nonsensical, but at least enjoyable stories around things. Two years ago Becky got her face punted in, last year they used the Saudi debacle to launch NXT into things, and this year they've...had Drew McIntyre say some cross words to Roman Reigns? Once again just seem to be trying desperately to play out the year and hope for crowds in 2021. Spinning their wheels very slowly. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DA Baracus 17,933 Report post Posted November 19, 2020 A crowd would little difference to this garbage. The champion vs champion stuff was intriguing until they had last minute title changes and guys appearing on whatever shows they fancied. Saying that there will be some good matches due to the champion vs champion stuff but that they mean pretty much nothing harms them. That feeds in to the major fault with this pish; 'brand supremacy'. Absolutely no one, fans and wrestlers alike, including in kayfabe, give the slightest f**k about either 'brand'. Worse, there is absolutely nothing at stake. Being the better 'brand' on the basis of winning more matches at a single PPV means absolutely nothing. Being the better 'brand' in general means absolutely nothing. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Connolly 17,618 Report post Posted November 20, 2020 They're really ramping up the 30 years of Taker stuff on social media - what pile of shite do we think they're going to have him do on Sunday? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdisaaccie 315 Report post Posted November 20, 2020 They're really ramping up the 30 years of Taker stuff on social media - what pile of shite do we think they're going to have him do on Sunday?Hopefully not something really stupid like having him job out Retribution to send them back to NXT.Having been watching the documentary every night this week on BT Sport if he is going out at SS as he came in 30 years ago then just a well crafted spot with him & Kane riding off into the sunset with an "official" retirement for both of them would do the job. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGoon 2,081 Report post Posted November 21, 2020 I am looking forward to fans eventually coming back and it’ll boost my interest for a wee while, but even at the start of this year with crowds I was starting to tune out of the WWE product. So much annoys me about it. There’s no logic, but they’re not even sacrificing it for fun or interesting storylines. It needs a radical change, but whilst they’re still making silly money I doubt it’ll come. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give the brand that wins the 30 spot in the rumble, or opener and maim at Wrestlemania, or a fucking turkey leg for the winners, just SOMETHING. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Kevin Of Kilsyth 223 Report post Posted November 25, 2020 Forgive me for my ignorance but where can I watch Main Event this weather? BT didn't pick it up when WWE moved over.

Comrie 1,297 Report post Posted November 29, 2020 Jimmy Rave has had to retire after having a partial arm amputation. Was always a pretty decent wrestler in the 2000's, had totally forgotten about him.
