    I just realized in every match Smackdown gets announced first which sort of amplifies the idea of being the secondary show they've fighting against

    It's not an AJ Styles match without Greg Hamilton announcing it imo

    God I wanted Heyman to stop mid-announcement and go "anyone else getting married?"

    How long has it been since Brock has had a match against a bump machine?

    This has been Brock's best match in years in large part because it actually has a story.

    Stupid

    Not just the result, just that it was easy to call

    When you're easily able to call the penultimate match because there's a number score that needs to stay tied for "drama," it's bad booking

    That was also really good!

    Now to settle in for an overbooked mess of a finale.

    That fucking catch. I can't even be mad.

    That was by far, by the widest of margins, Brock's best match in 4 years.

    I mean, there was never really a scenario where Brock lost tonight. They aren't trotting him out to lose non-title matches.

    If it were the main event? I would

    Nothing to lose from giving the rub to a fan favorite full timer in a non-title match with nothing on the line but some bullshit gang rivalry that'll be forgotten by the Rumble

    They don't trot him out to lose title matches either, is the thing

    I think their point was that everyone knows that, so why over emphasize that there's a "scoreboard" throughout the night. The mainevent should have been the bragging rights match, not the undercard.

    You forget, this is WWE. The full timers are there to put the part timers over.

    I disagree.

    Brock is routinely great at selling. Even if most of his matches are 'lol F5 pin', he sells damage well in match.

    This is one of the few times he's sold it going back up the ramp, though.

    Why is Stephanie in that promo?

    EDIT: The "you suck. . ." chants are as stupid as the What chants. They make no sense especially when you just gave him a massive pop. I honestly think it's a bunch of millenials who maybe saw those chants on a YT video years ago.

    Because she is the RAW GM stand-in, since Kurt is wrestling.

    No way. Its part of Kurt Angle.

    Even when he was a face in his original run, he was still getting them.

    Hearing his theme without the chants would just be weird.

    I personally hate the "you suck" chants with Angle's theme (by the time I stopped watching wrestling, they hadn't started yet) but it's clear they ain't going away so

    It's whatever, I like having Kurt back (in any capacity, he shouldn't kill himself wrestling)

    Of course he get's his own t-shirt.

    I think it's pretty clear that the chant with his theme is meant fondly.

    Haha. Of course HHH is the only one that doesn't wear the stupid RAW shirts.

  • hailtothekalehailtothekale Registered User regular
    Finn's trunks match the Raw shirt so it looks like he's wearing a onesie.

  • NiryaNirya Registered User regular
    Oh my god I hope we’re getting Biker HHH now.
