I hope that the plan is to have Big E drop the belt and try to bring the IC up to the old World championship status.

What have they done with Big E though? Nothing. They haven't given him a single storyline or let him cut a single promo. It's disgraceful how he's been treated. How are people supposed to take an interest in him if he's just appearing in random matches and not even allowed to use any of his oozing charisma.

Last time there was a proper storyline for the IC title was when Cody Rhodes had it. Creative are a joke and it sickens me that they're still getting away with it

Sorry to go slightly off topic, but has the booking team at Main Event changed in the last few weeks/months? Did the guy who was booking NXT during that great run get bumped to Main Event?

RobbingBandit

This looks rough.

gnfnrhead

Jaysus, they showed the ending in that preview!

B.A._Baracus

Scooby :P

BMMachine

Moneymaker

Well, I timed my bathroom break pretty poorly it seems.

Time to go make some tea.

Main Event is live on the Network so they now care about it. Previously they didnt so just threw anything together every week.

Why did it have to be Sandow?

Jester252

Ryder made it onto Raw

Diabhal Beag

I hated Scooby as a child.

gnfnrhead

Poor Sandow. Such a waste after his great performance against Cena last year.

Ahhh, makes sense. Did I imagine that someone from NXT creative was bumped up to another show?

Have the lights ever been explained?? Or even mentioned...

Think they've called it mood lighting but dont recall them ever explaining why it happens.

B.A._Baracus

Thats it for Scooby?

Being honest I dont mind Scooby Doo being on the show. I mean the muppets were once. Its not for our demographic. Its for the kids that watch. Its not like Scooby will wrestle Orton for the title and win :pac:


I was expecting a spot with Scooby tho. Like hitting an elbow or something. Lets be honest, it's most likely a developmental guy under the costume.

I have no clue who (bar the McMahons obviously) is even on the creative team at this stage, that's how often it seems to change.

Ah now. Wasn't like Scooby and Shaggy were about to turn heel or anything :P. Tis a kids movie like.

To cover up the old Sin Cara botches

seandotcomm

remember Kane used to have the red lighting for his matches when he debuted.

They only thing they left out is who was in the costume. Everything else was in the preview.

It's Batista.

Why cant show entrances when it's a 3 hour show full of feckin filler.

gnfnrhead

Great way to put over the Battle Royal. The jobber team have better things to do :pac:

Jester252

They did they change Los Matadors theme song?

Guess they dont want the entrances to be longer than the matches?

gnfnrhead

Funny how the Shield are back on the same page with hardly a mention of their previous problems.

carpothepunk

3 short matches, lots of jobber entrances. Some serious segments to come?

Undertaker's entrance.

Jester252

El Torito and Roman should have done a double spear.

And Hulk and Arnie!

It is rather silly because you just know who is jobbing when "and now currently in the ring" type crap.

Product placement makes money, jobbers don't.

ceegee

Batista could take a lesson on how to deliever a spear from Reigns.

They like having mouth offs at the top of the hour.

gnfnrhead

So this is why we had short matches. They needed the entire second hour for Triple H.

gnfnrhead

Is it just me who thinks evil bitchy Stephanie is hotter than regular Stephanie?

carpothepunk

Can't wait for Cena/Harper.

Nope.

Batista's spear is just a running shoulder. It's like a lower down version of the thing Cena does

He took lessons from Edge.

Exactly. Trim a minute here and there.... So Triple H gets more tv time. I know its a big match. They are building. But cutting someones entrance, even a quick entrance of 30 seconds is bloody stupid. Sure it keeps the pace for people in the arena (as they get to see the wrestlers entrance) but in the grand scheme of pushing guys, presenting guys.... It's just so apparrent to who is going over for everyone watching at home.

dirkmeister

Trips is such a brilliant heel, he is showing how to cut a promo here.
