iWiN4PreP Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 It was an OK match. I don't think it was great or even entertaining, but it did it's job. The problem really hasn't been the matches, but more so how boring both competitors are, how jinder was thrown into the title, and how long the program has now gone on with it being the same thing over and over (randy is strong, randy gets mad, jinder finds way to escape). I think Jinder is doing an excellent job with his character, but he has the fact that no one wants him to be champion because he was thrown into it going against him.

thxfrthmmrs Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 WWE is definitely go all in to expand in the Indian market by bringing back Kahli. Unfortunately that's going to going to hurt their ratings in the US. SDL was the A show for most of last year when AJ was the heel champ, but literally no one in the US wants see a Jinder-Kahli alliance running the show for the rest of 2017.

Yeah. KO is must see on Talking Smack but the shake up really hurt SD. They've made Nakamura just another guy already and Styles should be above a US title feud. http://deadspin.com/no-one-could-see-wwe-s...ight-1797190074 Edited July 24, 2017 by Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to get more comfortable on the mic, but I just don't think he was ready for the briefcase or title at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I've soured on Corbin a decent amount. He's still decent on the mic but he was more fun with that stuff in nxt. Still pretty green in the ring. Just hasn't improved at all for a little while now. That said, still 8 trillion times better than Jinder. Anywho, I'm cool with the ending last night. Actually adds a bit to the Cena feud and now Nak might actually leave SS with the belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I agree with you Rowand44. I've only read about it (not watched). Initially, I was very upset that they'd waste the MITB cash in like this, but in the end, it accomplishes a lot of goals: -Makes SD feel like 'must watch' TV -Adds fuel to the Cena feud -Makes Naka's title win at SS feel greater (since no threat of cash in) -Takes the MITB case off of Corbin who simply wasn't ready Although it does beg the question of why give it to Corbin in the first place... so f*** these guys.

If anything I'd like them to have the briefcase winners lose their cash ins more often. Adds more suspense, can't have them winning 95 percent of the time or whatever. It's just one gimmick, doesn't need to be a winner all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 NXT Takeover's have to be the most consistent thing in wrestling history. They're incapable of having a bad one. And damn, I knew Cole was coming but that was a perfect way to debut him. Loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's almost to a point where I hate to see a guy promoted to the main roster. Speaking of promotion, AOP and Glorious will almost certainly be promoted after what happened at the end of their matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 I think Roode puts over Roddy then goes up for sure. AOP, not sure. I'm not familiar with Adam Cole. If the internet thinks he's good then that has to be true. Looks like just another small guy that superkicks. Hope he's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
