DA Baracus Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Apparently the Edge and Orton match has been filmed and it's over 30 minutes. Seemingly it's pretty good but obviously nowhere near being close to being close to being the greatest ever wrestling match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Am I?You certainly come across that way. What they're doing is building hype for an angle in a new way (I've never seen anyone say they'll go have the best wrestling match ever). Of course it'll fall short of that for the majority of people hell, probably everyone. But it's all about getting the interest in it and it seems to be doing exactly that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it'll fall short of that for the majority of people hell, probably everyone. But it's all about getting the interest in it and it seems to be doing exactly that. Wrong. They're building hype in a stupid way. They're pushing this 'greatest wrestling match ever' so heavily and creating expectations that can never be delivered upon. It's a feud that needs little hype. The build to their Mania match was perfect. The match was shit but there was still plenty left of the feud. It's a personal feud that has seen Orton attack Edge's wife. Orton was using family references and saying that he was going to hurt and beat Edge for his own good and for the good of his daughters. He made it deeply personal. Where does having 'the best wrestling match ever' fit in to that narrative? It doesn't, at all. If it was two guys who were feuding over who the better wrestler was then it might make a bit of sense (although I think branding any match as such is stupid and makes impossible to live up to expectations), but this isn't that. This is a guy who wants revenge and who wants to shut his opponent up. They aren't looking to have a perfect wrestling match. They're looking to f**k each other up. It's why, if they knew this was going to be a multi match feud, starting with the Last Man Standing match was a mistake. Even so, it didn't kill the feud and there was loads of ways they could have went. The one they've picked is daft and bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 I like the way they're building this. I'm all for something a bit different rather than the same old shite. Will it be the greatest wrestling match ever? Obviously not, but that's not the point of the story for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 There's now just one creative team lead by Pritchard in charge of both Raw and Smackdown. Heyman just to be an in-ring performer. https://www.wwe.com/article/raw-smackdown-led-by-bruce-prichard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) Making Raw & Smackdown the exact same show again. (Not that it wasn't in any case) Curious as to why Prichard has the top job with the rumour and innuendo that Stephanie McMahon isn't a fan and he's confirmed in the past it was her that punted him. Who'd have thought 18 month ago when Prichard was just a podcaster looking on the back side of his career after doing the TNA stint that he'd be one of the biggest players in WWE again?

In other news, AJ Styles being outed as a bit of a moron if the rumours are correct. Republican, against gay people and a flat earther - Hated Paul Heyman taking the piss out of him so went to Vince and apparently he regularly gets the pissed ripped out of him for his views. Believe Randy Orton has confirmed the flat earth stories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
