THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357

WWE camera work is the worse. I want to get into this AJ Styles/Bobby Lashley match but all the quick cuts and zooms are so distracting. Just film it sports centric like New Japan. No need to recreate the wheel.
This Styles/Lashley match is really sloppy. Styles's skills have really deteriorated. The only thing he knows how to do clean is the phenomenal forearm. I did love the ending sequence. Lashley retains.
Get rid of the 24/7 Championship!
Crowd completely dead for this Dakota Kai/Dana Brooke match.
Theory needs a different finisher. Also I can see why they pipe in the crowd noise. This Raw crowd has been pretty much dead.
Wow... It's disappointing how bad wwe got, I hope trips brings them back to prominence. The only thing they really have going for them as far as I'm concerned is the bloodline... I'd love for the hurt business to come back too
Man, fuck what you heard, Raw last night was a really good show. The last hour was weak, but the first two were great.
Good call having the Lashley/Styles match end the second hour as that is when they get the most viewership.
The Owens/McIntyre setup and match were great and I wasn't even upset at the Usos run in and disqualification ending as it protected both Owens and Drew.
The Theory/Ziggler match was actually good, but the crowd was tired by then after the Owens/Drew and the Lashley/Styles battles
I really like how Triple H is starting to make this show feel fresh and new.

Raw should go back to 2 hours. This way you don't burn out the crowd. 2 hours is enough for a weekly TV show.
I struggle with this. Yes, two hours works, however with the amount of talent they have, WWE filling a three hour show that engages the audience shouldn't be difficult.
Just depends on how they schedule and block their segments.
I feel we will see their full three hour Raw shows improving some more moving forward, especially since wrestlers appear to have more creative freedom.
unfortunately the genie out the bottle and I can’t see em going back
overall great episode of Raw with the highlight being the Drew/KO interaction and match. Everything about it was fire and main event worthy from the promos to the great match
also nice to see Alexander and Ali in a long tv tag match. They had some good combo moves and liked the video promo before the match. Good to see tagmatches for men and women get time
one thing I noticed is the crowd was relatively dead for the last hour. Not sure if it was simply a long night or burnt out after what came up earlier.Creative might wanna keep long matches to a minimum that last hour
I agree, Raw should only be 2 hours long but that ain't happening unless NBC/Universal requests it and it gets negotiated in the next TV deal.
WWE would obviously make less money on a 2-hour show vs. a 3-hour show.
So creatively it makes sense, but financially? NO

Triple H said he wants a 2 hour show but the network wants the 3 hour show. They could put on a preshow or a reality show the first hour.
The night & day effect on Drew & KO talking on mic with & without Vince in their ears is mind-blowing.
I'll take more promos like that please. Maybe let people like AJ & Finn run wild with the mic too.
Those guys were wildly popular all over the world for a reason. They're really good on mic and I'm game for all of those feuds that Drew was naming.

Agreed!
A third hour was NEVER needed. Even when the show is great it's a lot to ask from an audience on a Monday night.
It's clear that the third hour is simply there for marketing/ad space.
Bobby is too big for AJ (Pause)
How did they fuck up the Women's tag team tournament.
This should have been the Teams:
Io Sky/Asuka (Niche Style) pair them up with Bianca. Bianca its a foreign exchange in styles Bianca teaches them the American Power style of wrestling and they teach her the Japanese flips and technical Strong style. The would be unstoppable if it translated into their wrestling styles the growth of all three.
Dakota Kai/Alexa Bliss (Dark Horse Underdogs)
Nakita Lyons/Natalia (Fan Favorites) whole lotta ass double cheeked up
Dana Brooke/Tiffany Stratton ( Blond, Beauty, and Athletic they like)
Tamina/Raquel Gonzalez (Big Twin Tower) Tamina takes the loss of course but if she captures Gold the family will let her in the Bloodline
Mandy Rose/Carmella (Sex Appeal) could go far with the help of GiGi and Jacy interfering
Rhoda Rousey/Shayna Bazler (MMA Legit Workers)
Surprise Team (Bye first and second round) Speculation its going to be Sasha and Naomi out comes Charlotte and Lacey Evans image the Crowd Pop or Heat if that was to happen and the end of the tournament Sasha and Naomi run out to confront them.

Damnit 1 to 2 seconds more and there was definitely a slip or at least a small side boob
Ah shit! Give me Omega vs. Okada IV and Danielson vs Ospreay at Wrestle Kingdom in the Tokyo Dome.
I want to see Osprey vs Omega.
TK would probably want that match to happen in a AEW ring but if they do it at Wrestle Kingdom that would be dope as well.
Kayla Rossi finally having her debut match on Dark tonight. She's been training for a hot minute. I'm interested in seeing how she does.
Give it up Brandi!
interesting read about how wrestlers like the Miz, Corbin, Natyala & Shanna Bazzler are bascially the new improved Brooklyn Brawler jobbbers but maintain legitmacy while putting others over
Miz is a 2 time grand slam champ but when they needed someone to go against Bad Bunny & Paul...Miz was the man for the job

god damn I thing for Coral back in the day...

The Miz and the New Brooklyn Brawlers
In WWE, the Miz, Happy Corbin, and others have redefined what it means to be "enhancement talent," moving past the work jobbers like the Brooklyn Brawler put in years ago
FUCK! Kris can't catch a break.
If she gets called up..she might be doing that"UPN character" schtick with Bianca Belair
The Cleaner returns tonight!
I guess this fits in with the "House Of The Dragon" theme tonight.
