Vince has absolutely no idea what he is doing. not a jot.

DX. why should i care at this stage? they're terrible and have no resemblance to what made them big.
Austin. nothing like what he was known for, so why should I care?
Foley. well done. at least you tried to get Bray over a bit.

Rollins is an awful champion, but it's not his fault. nobody could get over properly with the booking. nobody. he's had to try to carry a feud with fúcking Baron Corbin for Christ's sake.

Only watched Extreme Rules last night but what the hell was with Rollins never actually going near Becky after she got hit with the End of Days. Fair enough, Brock was coming out to cash in right after the match ended but then he sits there for 5 minutes looking up the ramp at Brock instead of lookin after his woman. Stupid booking if he's supposed to be a face. cares more about his belt than his girlfriend

or why didn't Becky try to stop Lesnar at all? End Of Days has been protected and all, but she's supposed to be a badass.

Even the corniest of corniest John Cena promo at the height of his corniest wasn't as corny as Seth last night.

What I would've given for anyone to come out and bury D geriatric X and Hall and Nash on the mic for 5 minutes last night.

Miz is a motormouth and quick-witted, he could've done it. Becky got the better (or was allowed to get the better of) Cena and Edge last year, she could've done it.

I'm confident a current roster member would've got a far better reaction taking the piss out of them than the polite golfclap the old men got for playing their greatest hits.

The only person in the business that could pull that off convincingly is MJF. There is nobody better now.

That was a wretched show. An embarrassment from start to finish. Alicia Fox is a legend now?

Cool.

That's me done with WWE. They have absolutely nothing to offer anymore.

The Becky hype train has come to a stop. She's not as good as her push.

J. Marston

It was always gonna slow down after Mania, I don't think it has stopped though. Crowds still pop and chant for her.

That will only last so long if they're putting her against dull people like Natalya.

She badly needs Sasha or Shayna.

Natalya is a terrible opponent for her, they go too hot and cold on Nattie and never really fully pushed her. Shayna would have been a class opponent.

we actually don't know if she is, because what chance have they given her to continue to be the character that got her over?

the booking is a fúcking shambles.

Yeah, done here. There's no point posting here, all you get is grief if you say anything against the grain.

Take care mate!

ThePott

I don't know if we can say the Becky hype is done but it's certainly been damaged.
It's bad booking, they literally had her feuding with Lacey Evans for like 3 months. Lacey has a lot of positives but she's really green still. Then they stuck her with Rollins in a lame couples angle and now they're doing a Natalya match. She's gonna suffer from back booking like anyone else.

As for the Reunion, meh total crap as expected. Standard comedy skits from the veterans. Fair play for Foley for actually putting over a modern talent. The rest were pointless.

Speaking of Styles/Gallows/Anderson.....The OC? REALLY? I spent the morning after hearing that singing this song in my head:

Not really the thing you want to associate with your Heel Faction :pac:

I must be in the minority but The OC sounds infinitely better to me than “The Club”.

The Club, FFS. How was that allowed to go on for so long? It’s possibly the worst stable name in the history of pro-wrestling. At least The OC makes sense, The Original Club, which is exactly what they are. That’s what I’m assuming it stands for anyway.

And that new shirt is top notch too. Best WWE shirt I’ve seen in a very long time. One you wouldn’t be utterly embarrassed to be seen wearing out in public, which is a nice change of pace.

Only Anderson is actually from the original club though. The legit Bullet Club has more original members in it's ranks so it's still a stupid name for me.

gerrybbadd

There's too many feckin clubs. Balor club etc.

If anything, Balor should be in the OC rather than AJ. He formed the OG Bullet Club after all

Yeah, I enjoyed the 24/7 bits. They may have been hit or miss, but they're the kind of thing I expected with the 24/7 title. I was wondering how they would get the title off the women since no guy on girl allowed. Speaking of girl on girl, it seemed Candace and Kelly interrupted something with Naomi and Melina. :pac:
And surely the Ho-train works better when we have a train of ho's?

Street Profits were funny. No problem referencing RVD's pastimes. Similar to Cena and the Usos' mugshots.

On a sidenote, remember when they had the Mojo segments? And now he runs around after Truth/Drake. How long until Renee fights Carmella?

The Bullet Club doesn't really work stateside the best day it ever was & even now in Japan I feel they are just pin eaters for Jay White who is above it all now. The Elite drama killed off any life remaining in the group last year. Other than Ishimori or El Phantasmo (and White) I've no interest in the rest for some time.
Its 2019 now not 2015; Anderson & Gallows similar to G.O.D. & Fale seem to cling to it like it's a life raft.

PTH2009

Was fun in parts but **** me cringe as ****

Most 'legends' just appeared in backstage skits mostly just popping up really too say hello. Worse thing they prob get payed good money for to appear

Always cool to see Stone cold but felt it was just product placement for his beer and Hogan podcast

The 00s divas still look amazing

Deeper Blue

That Rollins promo was just as bad as anything Reigns ever did promo-wise. Painful stuff.
