Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 463: Better Viewership Than Raw

(+) Yeah! (+)

I think that might be the first ever TLC match with no ladders or tables
---

I'm all in on Slater being the only guy to not use a weapon.

His fist is that strong!

---

Also its cool to beat up someone 6 on 1 if hes rude
---

I like how they frame it as humiliating that Drew lost to DOLPH ZIGGLER
---

Welp, DREW MAC's push is dead.
---

One thing TLC definitely needed was more matches using chairs
---

So do they actually give Braun a shot and let him beat Lesnar at the Rumble, or does he lose his.... what is it, 7th chance?

I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't, but every time I've thought that they've went in the opposite direction.
---

Yeah that would hypothetically be #7 for Braun

2016 Rumble match
Summerslam 2017 4-way
No Mercy 2017 vs Brock
Rumble 2018 3-way
Hell in Cell 2018 NO CONTEST
Crown Jewel vs Brock for the vacant title

And then this match

He said or tables, just pointing out we had one.

Oh, no, I meant Corbin vs Strowman was the first TLC MATCH with no use of ladders or tables
---

Btw another reason I hate WWE fans.

You boo the shit out of Nia Jax for punching Becky Lynch, and since the WWE just cares about heat she'll get a push.

You boo Bobby Lashley with go-away heat when he flexes or points at his ass, and he'll probably get a push.

But DREW MAC, a damn good worker who actually does heel stuff in and out of the ring, wrestles you spend most of your time in silence.

Fuck each and every one of you.
---

And fuck you all tomorrow when you cheer and chant for Vince.
---

That Drew Mac match was pure death. It was dull and without the psychology of the Rey/Orton match that followed it.

It was a true "Dammit D Lo" moment - those two matches had the EXACT same booking. Rey/Orton was better but it came second so it wasnt fresh AT ALL.

Put over a damn babyface though WWE jesus christ! Even in victory Balor and Rey looked like punks.
---

Must be nice to never go to any shows and then talk down on crowds like you wouldn't be reacting in a similar way for the most part.

Gonna vehemently disagree with you there. A lot of the early match was DREW MAC shrugging off Balor's offense to put him in serious peril. And to show how DREW MAC thinks he's so much better than Balor by grabbing him by the face and pulling him to his feet.

It wasn't some five star classic obviously but it should have gotten DREW MAC some legit heat. But wrestling fans suck.

Been to multiple shows and multiple WMs but thanks for your condescending bullshit.

I still am offended that they had Charlotte Pillmanize Rondas throat and it had NO EFFECT

I will cheer for him, thanks!

You. "OH YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND, YOU'VE NEVER BEEN IN A CROWD!"

Been in WWE crowds, house and PPV.
Been in ROH crowds.
Been in Chikara crowds.

I dont think I have ever seen that transition to suplex to sleeper like that

Ronda keeps impressing every match!

I mean, okay. I apologize for implying you haven't been in crowds.

But I don't apologize for implying you're being an irrational ass towards crowds when I would be willing to bet you'd be guilty of the same thing if you took a second to think about it if you were in these crowds.
---

I sat next to Whiskey Nick as he screamed "Matt Hardy goes balls deep!" and also him shrieking like a woman after Maria got knocked through a table.

Dude knows, man.
---

This Rhonda match is excellent. I just wish it didnt follow those last two matched WHY HAVE ALL THREE MATCHES BEEN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE VERSUS PLUCKY UNDERDOG.

How was this ANY different than what Orton did to Rey?

There's only two matches I've ever been silent for.

And they both involved HHH.

Ronda Rousey is great

I didn't watch Rey/Orton on account of it being Rey/Orton in the year of our lord 2018. I'll check it out later. I was disagreeing with it being dull.
---

That was about the best use of Nia Jax that I can imagine.

Fucking baller match. I am amazed at how well they continue to use Ronda - and how quickly Ronda is developing. If she transitions into being a better promo we're gonna be putting her as the most natural pro wrestler since Kurt Angle.
---

Ronda just GETS IT

that kiss to the fist before tapping her out, good shit

Ronda is bae. Rookie of the year hands down
---

I like that Ronda does the classic slapping hands with the crowd thing.

They need to give her something she can go full on Bret Hart with on her outfit that she can give to a fan every PPV.
---

BECKY!

That was great!
---

I FUCKING LOVE BECKY

my goodness
she is so fucking spot on

This crowd was politely bored for 2 hours

Then Ronda WOKE THEM UP
---

I mean I am not exactly the average WWE fan but I tuned into this show for ONE reason - to watch Becky.

Ronda took me from "ugh Ronda and UGHER Nia" to "Oh my fucking god" just in the first 5 minutes of that one.

It was great. The womens division is so so good right now.

I am ACHING for Becky/Ronda at this point fuck.

I WASTED RESOURCES TO MAKE THIS SIGN

sign
---

the announcers here are handling Bryan in the stupidest way possible.

"This New Daniel Bryan guy...he's a totally different guy like...I wonder where the old one is" like theyre legitimately two different people.
---

I just love how this version of heel Bryan carries himself

Such a toad
---

yeah he is an objectively better wrestler as a heel.

Slur it a little and its The Nude Daniel Bryan

Mr Small Package!

Just a casual I have till 5 lol
---

"Settle for less!" - Brie Bella, probably
---

Dammit, now I cant NOT hear it as "The Nude Daniel Bryan"
---

Nia is going to cost Becky the title, isn't she?
