Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 456: Nobody expects the Undertaker!

Speaking entirely in the context of matches and taking in-universe logic into account when considering realism (aka no dinging of Warrior for teleporting mid match or whatever)

Okay so if the Yeti appears as a mummy instead of a Yeti and dry humps Hogan to death isnt valid under this logic, then sure
---

It was an ancient mummy that wanted to start a career in wrestling under the ring name Yeti. No problem.
---

Man it really bugs me that they threw out a no-DQ match for outside interference that had already left

Like at least do the 10 count and rule it a double KO
---

I think 10 count double KO would piss me off more as I'd ask why the ref didn't count to 10 while they were selling for 10 minutes
---

Like theres a very Dr Strangelove You cant fight in here, this is the war room! element to the whole thing

THERE IS TOO MUCH CHAOS HAPPENING FOR THIS DEMONIC HOME OF SATAN TO HANDLE

Different ref!

It would AT LEAST make Heyman taking out Foley serve some minimum of a purpose
---

Only if Foley counts to 8 a few times while they're sleeping for 10 minutes, cutting himself off cause THERE MUST BE A WINNER BY GOLLY
---

You dont know that he didnt! We were watching some other brawl the whole time

I think it's worse than anything either of those guys put out just because it fails the realism check so hard.

Its less realistic than anything Bischoff or Russo did is a bold take

Was this magic 'blood' level?

Please say yes.
---

No I am just not cool with this

I have been a subsrciber since day 1.

Its begining of football season

I gave up time with my family and friends to make sure I had today available to watch this

and this is garbage

you can't give us a TUNE IN TO RAW TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS when the stakes were set so much

just

fucking

ugh
---

I was making plans to go to TLC

I dont think I am now
---

Scare, to be fair, the rest of the show was pretty awesome
---

Something that makes it worse is that the VERY FIRST HIAC established that run-ins are okay
---

I thought the first half was good. I don't think I liked anything after the AJ/Joe match though.

I guess Ronda/Alexa was fine but I have a lot of difficulty caring about that feud and unlike Shield the match wasn't so good as to pull me into it.
---

I very much enjoyed Becky and Charlotte

but I have been looking foreward to Braun in the cell for so long

and I was completely okay with Brock, in fact I think he NEEDED to be here.

But he didnt do enough damage to give us that ending

and Dolph and Seth dieing for no reason the same way Seth has done before, and Drew and Dean on top of the cell just for nothing

I feel ripped off

ESPECIALLY considering the other HIAC was Orton using a screwdriver to rip off jeff hardy's ear and then Jeff killed himself to the point they gave us updates throughout the night that we was throwing up blood

AND THAT STILL HAD A FINISH

and Joe and AJ SHOULD have been in the cell. There was no reason for it not to be
---

I will give them this: it was better camera work than WCW

If this was in WCW, Seth and Dolphs fall would have happened off-screen, and then once the ref called for the bell the announcers would have no clue what just happened, Brock would walk out with the physical belt, and Tony would go off the air wondering if that means hes somehow Champion now
---

Wow yeah.

This sounds dumb.

No more WWE for another month then

This is funny but I didn't even laugh at first because it's pretty much 100% accurate

Im watching a lets play thats near the end of Virtue's Last Reward and it somehow made me even more angry

it got me to laugh too though

If this is true, they really are trying to turn Charlotte into female Roman. Remember though, Steph says they listen to the fans!
---

Hell in a Cell spoilers below

I'm still hoping Corbin pulls some heel GM shenanigans and says when he made the match he did it without forcing Braun to use his MitB contract and he gives it back to Braun on Raw. But even Cole on commentary said something about this being the 3rd scheduled cash-in match, so its bleak

But if they do stick with counting it as a cash-in match, that means this is the 2nd straight year the male briefcase winner has failed their cash-in attempt. And its the first year (I believe) where both the male Rumble winner and MitB winner failed to win their respective world titles
---

Why do I get the feeling that AJs huge run as champion is just building him up so he can put Roman over.

It's to put Orton over.

It feels like they're doing this so they can add it to the Becky/Charlotte feud storyline.

It's a worked shoot, brother!

lol I didn't even watch Hell In A Cell last night lol

Don't @ me.

Considering I'm the only person that cares about women's wrestling on this site...

Fun Fact: Mickie Knuckles debuted as Moose in TNA for a brief period in 2008.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbhgYPLe8po" data-time="

She broke her leg and you can see it turn sideways at one point in this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5U2Q2cSWuA" data-time="

She left TNA for good in September 2008 and was never seen in again.

You guys were watching Charlotte and Becky wrestle as Becky was wrenching on Charlotte's fake hair extensions, and Charlotte pretending she was hurt by screeching like a banshee.

I just used ignore for the first time on gamefaqs! Pretty nice.

I wonder if they'll have Becky reference the signs on Tuesday. Hopefully she finally gets the long title run she deserves.
---

So I did not watch, but I was listening to Dave and Bryan talk about the PPV and Dave said that Becky was supposed to be the heel and whatever match they had was supposed to make Charlotte a face.

Bryan is losing his mind over this. Dave agrees with him, but says that was the plan, to make a surprise, clean roll up feel like Charlotte was screwed.

The fuck is with these writers?
---

Road Dogg is trying to outdo himself. Why can't they actually listen to the fans for once. It's like we used up our once in a decade card for Wrestlemania 30

If that was true, it would at least mean he would be holding it for another year until the SD on Fox debut

I'm thinking some kind of Champion Vs. Champion thing before then.

Oh a non-title battle at Survivor Series? Yeah I forgot about that
---

God damn that earlobe twist was fucking great

Well done both

A natural evolution of the feud, fit the story and was simultaneously extreme and uncomfortable and also PG.
---

I think that earlobe shit should've been TV-14.

It was way more gross than a dude getting some blood on his face.
---

Strowman is so over that he gets cheered even louder when he insults the audience.
---

Jeff and Orton was the sort of match Bray and Dean needed to have instead of that TV shit
---

I love Braun telling everybody that they suck.
---

HIAC was enjoyable for the most part.

Lost a star because He Who Held the Title Hostage and Shall Remain Nameless reappeared.

First PPV I've really enjoyed in a GOOD while (ok, Summerslam but this was something else).

RAW was also decent if a little overbooked.
---

I didn't even watch Raw last night. lol

Fall is approaching so let's look at some bikini stuff with the girls.

Sasha Banks would be without a job if she wasn't related to Snoop Dogg. :)

Clean shaven big show freaks me out

But he is the perfect kingpin for spiderman.

Bobby Roode must not be doing jack shit since I haven't seen him on Hulu Raw in a long ass time.

He's teaming with Chad Gable and feuding Ascension.

So yeah, he's pretty much doing jack shit.

not only that Chad Gable is doing literally everything and he just stands there

Mahabali Shera released from developmental

No Shera Shuffle in NXT

So Becky has a Championship Coronation tonight, something that seems to be reserved for heels!

I'm curious to see if Joe walks out and makes 400 references to how he's the uncrowned champion since he should have won the match last night. We know super ultimate babyface Roman did that, so if the face did it I can only imagine how obnoxious the evil heel Joe will be about it.

winner of Miz vs. DBD at Super Showdown gets a shot at the WWE Title

hypehypehype regardless if it's AJ vs. Miz or DBD vs. Joe

all I hope for is it ends with Miz vs. DBD again by wrestlemania time for the WWE Title
---

Bummer, Alexa is out of the Mixed Match challenge with an arm injury (not sure if it's storyline or legit). No more Team Little Big.

With AJ/Joe and Bryan/Miz I don't think there's a pairing that's a loss for us.

Edit: Apparently a few people from Impact met with WWE officials today.

English just fucked up big.
