None of their active full-time wrestlers are draws. That's the problem and then they're burying these guys to the old part-timers.

And I for one am not watching, I haven't watched RAW/Smackdown in probably 3-4 months outside of the premier of Smackdown on Fox week and the RAW where Edge returned (see the issue? I only tuned in for the old part timer). If something interesting happens you can find it on twitter/youtube etc.

With the outbreak of coronavirus, there is a possibility of WrestleMania being cancelled. If it is indeed cancelled, what will be the changes to the plans/programs/matches, if any?

fazzle · 03-02-2020, 12:44 PM

Nah Vince will still make everyone go and if anybody actually gets infected he'll claim they could choose to not go because they're "independent contractors"

That or he'll hold Mania from Saudi Arabia

They won't cancel zero chance. Cornoavirus is overrated BS. Only people who are dying are people who have a compromised immune system. Plus if someone from overseas can't get on flight because of it to travel oh well to bad Vince has that money for the ticket.

At the absolute worst, they tarp off some upper sections of seating or obstructed view seats and move everyone else down, to fill in the empty spots.

With all of these senior citizen wrestlers... its possible that half the card will catch it!

As a Tampa resident, I have say that I am not thrilled to see the plethora of unwashed masses coming in from other countries...

Seems more probable.

My question is, what happens after Mania when Cena, Goldberg and Taker aren't on TV anymore? The regular roster of Reigns, Fiend and Daniel Bryan aren't going to continue bringing in 2.7 million. It will drop. Guaranteed.

JustinVerlander07 · 03-02-2020, 07:48 PM

If anyone listens to 83 weeks podcast with Eric Bischoff, they recently covered Superbrawl 2000. I would STRONGLY suggest everyone go watch Tank Abbott vs Big Al from the card, it's only like 4 minutes.

I have never seen anything like it.

mnvikingstwins · 03-02-2020, 08:58 PM

Riddick should have gotten the Saudi Arabia match against Lesnar

cdub6238 · 03-02-2020, 10:10 PM

Allllllll that "buildup" for Rowan's cage, for it to be as fake as can be mechanical spider

I tell you what, thats good s* pal!

Also who did Ricochet piss off, quick sqaush by Brock now getting jobbed to Moss and cant even win the 24/7 title? Oofff

I listen to Conrad's stuff with both Bischoff and Prichard in the car sometimes. I think I enjoy that more than I enjoy watching today's stuff, which just makes me old.

The story writing is horrible. Now we have to deal with Aragog.

Orton delivering one of the best promos of his entire career. If you actually give him something he’s interested in, there is no one better in the business.

Ricochet got his butt whooped by Lesnar. He should have lost to WHOEVER he fought in his next fight even if that so happened to be Moss who is bigger and stronger than Ricochet. Sometimes it just makes TOO much sense for people to believe.

This is why i cant take undisputed era seriously, and feel they will never make it if called up.

Richochett much much better than them, he shouldnt be a squash job.

Question, what about Montez Ford as a singles wrestler? He seems pretty exciting to watch with his athleticism and has decent (could be better) mic skills.

Why not pump someone like him up? Does he only work in a gimmicky tag team? He's clearly the star of the two.

Maybe a couple years down the road when the street profits fade away.

Because they are a hot tag team that they can market and make money off of. Why would you break that up?

ensbergcollecto · 03-03-2020, 11:40 AM

isn't already establishing roman vs. goldberg for WM making elimination chamber a wasted PPV? I mean, I know we all assumed Roman was going to win, but to make it a guarantee seems really stupid. Am I missing something?

Asking because of the "last chance" last night.

Dawkins seems to be filler from the few (very few) matches that I've watched of them.

Just got back into watching recently and was curious.

You don't understand wrestling. The great thing about wrestling is you can book it however you want which means you can have it go the way it should, but WWE continues to drop the ball on these guys.

Ricochet just got a title match against Lesnar. Yes, he lost and got destroyed but Lesnar destroys most of his opponents. There is absolutely no reason, NO REASON, Ricochet should be losing to a guy like Moss. It makes the title match a fluke and has turned Ricochet into a nobody buried 6 feet under. Keep Ricochet strong and have him squash Moss instead, could lead to a match for a secondary title or something. What they did last night is once again why WWE is losing interest and is frustrating for wrestling fans that try to stick around. You build someone up, start to gain a little traction and POOF, Vince doesn't care anymore and let's bury the guy. Has been happening for 20 years now.

Good Raw last night. The matches and angles all moved along well. The final segment was so well done with Randy/Beth.
