Just turned on Extreme Rules. The audio is all **** up with both English and Spanish announcers on. Nice job WWE/Peacock.

You might be shocked to hear this, but Charlotte won the womens championship. Again.

I didn't even know it was on until I jumped onto Twitter about an hour or so ago.

Did they really spend five minutes on Bliss throwing a fit over a ripped up doll?

Yes.

This is a prime example why you don't need a PPV every month. On top of that, I think there is only one actual extreme rules match... and exactly nobody believes there is any chance Reigns is losing, demon or no.

The demon is and always has been dumb as hell.

This is hard to watch knowing there is a much better product available. Wtf.

AEW has been on a streak of giving the fans what they want. And WWE is doing… that.

What. The ****. Was that ending?

You didn't like the old "ring falls apart for no damn reason" spot?

Postby **iamjs** » Mon Sep 27, 2021 7:23 am

I kinda expected it to be a reintroduction of Bray via a Bray vs Demon feud and expected the ring to intermittently collapse with Bray coming out from the middle of the ring as the finale.

As stupid and as outlandish as it might sound, is it really anything outside of what WWE writers would do at this point?

Postby **the wicked child** » Mon Sep 27, 2021 7:38 am

WWE just can't help themselves. They had a pretty good match before that finish just ruined everything. Any word on if Balor hung himself from the rafters after the match because they just dropped trou and **** all over him with that finish.

Incidentally, on the Broken Skull Sessions which followed, Rollins was apparently venting about the infamous hell in a cell dq finish.

Watched BD vs Omega. Good ****. I agree with there not being a million camera cuts adding a lot. I just watched some of the ending to Finn/Reigns and not only the cuts but it’s very obvious to me now that their camera guys are directed to shake the camera when filming. It’s an awful experience.

Postby **the wicked child** » Mon Sep 27, 2021 7:55 am

The ridiculous camera cuts combined with the same old recycled commentary make it hard to watch/listen at times. I don't even blame the commentators themselves because this is obviously what Vince wants them to do...

But I am so sick of "can they coexist", "how much does x have left", "kicked out on instinct alone"...

The camera cuts were making me feel sick. It's so bad.

I'll take the occasional screw up on AEW over the over produced crap WWE is doing there any day.

OH MY IS IT? IT IS!

Why re-bring out the demon if you're going to have him lose again? Why not just use the demon later and have him push Balor over the edge. Now they've again weakened the Demon and gave Roman an even bigger boss feel when he pretty much doesn't need it.

That's one thing I very much appreciate about catching up with AEW. Their storylines are mostly logical, and they don't flip-flop on the daily.

Postby **nocera** » Mon Sep 27, 2021 8:30 am

Why can't it just be that Balor likes to put on face paint for a big match? Why does it have to be "The DemonTM"? Why does he have to turn into a supernatural character? It's insanely dumb.

Postby **Morkle** » Mon Sep 27, 2021 8:34 am

Yes to all of it. I think the Demon should have stayed in NXT - but I liken this back to NXT people getting put on the main roster, and having to have everything switched up because it connected with the fans there, so of course it has to be changed.

Postby **nocera** » Mon Sep 27, 2021 8:37 am

When he was Prince Devitt and did the body paint stuff, did his character change or was it just hey look Devitt is wearing facepaint?

Postby **Morkle** » Mon Sep 27, 2021 9:05 am

I think it was more the latter. Being a BC leader, etc.

I don’t understand how Jericho is fat but also has abs. What’s happening there?

Postby **iamjs** » Thu Oct 07, 2021 12:57 pm

flipped past RAW since they were supposed to be doing the draft. saw none of the draft, but saw Big E, Drew, and Bobby somebody arguing about nicknames.

The base of the conversation Drew saying "if you're Big E, then I'm big D." Then Bobby made a comment about "but everybody calls me Big Bobby".

Yes, they literally did a full segment on this, sounding like a bunch of grade school kids arguing about their new nicknames.

Now I remember why I have regressed to using it as background noise if nothing else is on at best. Thankfully hockey is starting soon and we still have another 3-4 months of football.
