Yea! Edge & Christian back then was a great tag team! And I didn't expect both of them face each other instead of teaming up back at their hometown episode.

just that match at Wrestlemania 17 ( I think ) was the best tag team era ever.
TLC
Hardy Boyz w/ Lita
Dudley Boys w/ Spike
Edge and Christian w/ Rhino

nevertheless that was a good match between the two and im sure one day they will tag again.

But based on poor storywriter, I hardly doubt so. They are always using the same superstars over and over again.

wwe has gne pg and hasn't really been any good since 04
tbh since HBK left it went down another level I n longer care I watche the raw rebound segment last night and saw haas and benjamin and I was just thinking wth are wwe doing ....


they get rid of knox then push sheamus...?
They are pushing jtg fgs
Cody hodes is being used on superstars
And they can't give a divas match more than 2 minutes as the division is so weak

No not really. As soon as it was made PG, it took a huge part out which made the WWE what it was. Now it's more for kids and families. Yes it makes sense for the company as a whole, but for the older audience it's taken a big knock imo and has gone downhill.

What's wrong with people complaining? People have watched wrestling since they were kids and it's become very dry now. Besides, people aren't really complaining, they're saying it's gone downhill big time which is true.

No it didn't but it wasn't as strict as today. The storylines were also 10x better back then and so were the characters.

Misawa

And this proves that you don't need to be TV14 to put on a good show.

CHA!NGANG

No but with the current crop of characters e/t/c that they have, it was the only way imo.

Misawa
03-07-2010, 02:30 PM
Blood was constantly overused and the sexuality was smutty. Granted, some of the TV14 content was good, but I don't see the problem with going back to their child-friendly roots.

CHA!NGANG
03-07-2010, 02:54 PM
It wouldn't be that bad going back to it, if they actually had good storylines and good characters, but they don't really.

Blood and sex don't make for good characters. Blame creative. If you want to see smut and gore, watch CZW.

03-07-2010, 03:01 PM
I'm not saying does...

I'm saying if they actually had good characters and good storylines then the lack of gore e/t/c wouldn't make a big difference. But they don't so the lack of gore e/t/c just adds to the decline of WWE.

It connected, he just didn't get as high as he wanted, but it was understandably difficult.

That match would be in my top 10 greatest :D

Misawa
24-07-2010, 12:35 AM
Kane is totally underused seeing as he's one of the best workers and characters in all the WWE. It's great that he won the title unexpectedly, but you know he's only a transitional champion for when The Undertaker returns so they can have a feud over the gold.

-Heart's WWE Bragging Rights 2010 Review

Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler
This was actually one of my favourite matches of the night. Very back and forth throughout the majority of the match, however I will criticise the lack of diversity between the two superstars throughout the match. An unpredictable ending and I thought Ziggler was going to win this one. Pleasantly surprised.

Rating: 7/10


The Nexus (David Otunga & John Cena) vs. Drew McIntyre & Cody Rhodes - WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championships
A match which was made on the night, which made for a nice surprise as I rate all the wrestlers involved. I would of liked to see McIntyre & Rhodes hold on to the titles longer, so hopefully they will get their rematch. WWE seem to be playing skip rope with this Otunga-Cena relationship, as one minute they come across as friends and then the next Cena is planting Otunga onto the canvas with an Attitude Adjustment, which I felt was slightly unnecessary. It was a solid match and a nice surprise. However I do think it's a bit silly that Cena was involved in this match when Barrett stated that he didn't want Cena on Team RAW because he wanted him to be "solely focused" on Barrett's WWE title match later in the night. Bit of inconsistency there.

Rating: 6/10


Ted DiBiase vs. Goldust
I hate this storyline, so I was always expecting to hate this match - which I could tell WWE would add to the card. Horrible storyline that's been churned out by the WWE, however it does mean that Maryse gets more screen time which is always a positive.

Rating: 2/10


Layla w/ Michelle McCool vs. Natalya - WWE Divas Championship
Piss break. I caught the end of the match, and I wasn't really surprised. This LayCool gimmick is getting so boring now.

Rating: 2/10


Kane vs. Undertaker - WWE World Heavyweight Championship (Buried Alive Match)
Very slow and boring at times, and way too predictable. The interference from Nexus was completely pointless and unnecessary, and really put a complete downer on the whole match for me. Can see Taker taking another few months off now, and maybe starting a feud with Barrett nearer to WM27.

Rating: 5/10


Team SmackDown vs. Team RAW - 14-man Interpromotional Elimination Tag Team Match
My favourite match of the night. Non-stop action which always makes for a good watch, and some fantastic athletic and wrestling ability on show. I said from the start that I thought Team SD would win this one, but as the match went on I had more and more reason to believe that RAW would get revenge from last year. I was dissapointed with the lack of involvement from the likes of Miz, R-Truth, etc. There were a couple of noticeable errors which you can expect from a match of this pace and intensity, with the worst of them all being Mysterio's failed Springboard, which was just painful to watch. The pin wasn't much better. Also, was Big Show supposed to make it in before the count of 10? I wasn't sure about that one. Anyway, good match.

Rating: 8.5/10


Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett w/ John Cena - WWE Championship
The biggest disappointment of the night by far. This main event promised so much, and there were a range of possibilities that the WWE could of gone with. When Barrett announced that if he lost he'd fire Cena, it all became alot more interesting. However the pace of the match was extremely slow, and there was WAY too much focus on Cena and Barrett clashing heads rather than the actual match. Nexus' involvement when the ref went down was predictable, and I was secretly hoping that Taker would rise up and help out Orton, although I knew it was highly unlikely. I also had a sneak suspicion before the match started that Miz might cash in his MITB. I always hate World title matches at a PPV ending in a disqualification, and this was no different. Make no mistake about it, this match was a big, big let down.

Rating: 4/10

Verdict
For the amount of build-up and potential that Bragging Rights had, it was a very dissapointing PPV. There were alot of superstars that I would of liked to see more of in this PPV, and I definetely question the finish to a number of these matches.

Survivor Series up next on November 21st, which will hopefully be a big improvement.

Overall Event Rating: 5/10

Misawa
25-10-2010, 12:13 PM
Going purely on star ratings rather than analyses, as I'll have to do when the DVD check disc comes through my door to review, I'd give the matches the following:

Ziggler/Danielson ***
Tag Titles **
Goldust/DiBiase **
Divas Title **
Bured Alive ***
SmackDown vs. RAW ****
WWE Title ***

Survivor Series 2010 Main Event for RAW has been confirmed.

WWE CHAMPIONSHIP
Randy Orton (c) vs. Wade Barrett - Singles match for the WWE Championship, with Special referee John Cena. If Barrett wins the championship, Cena will be free of The Nexus, but if Barrett doesn't win the championship, Cena is fired from the WWE.

Predictable - not looking forward to that match.

Yeah but it's usually a special rule they have, I think the idea is to get across the eventual rebellion by Otunga. I think he, skip sheffield and darren young will form some sort of group with perhaps Cena and someone else? Take down the Nexus kinda thing. I dunno.

Exactly this. It's just a matter of time before Otunga turns on Barrett and Nexus, however I think you're forgetting that Skip Sheffield is just injured, not out of the group for sure.

Hating the idea of Slater and Gabriel as champions. Thought Rhodes and McIntyre were a brilliant tag team and should of held onto the titles longer, and personally I just can't stand Heath Slater. Absolute tool, acting skills aswell as his wrestling skills are terrible.

I think Survivor Series has been disappointing in terms of building matches. I mean it's only been Wade vs. Randy Orton with John Cena as the special guest referee which has been hyped. I like the traditional Survivor Series Elimination matches - one I remember greatly was a few years back where Steve Austin was captain and Shawn Michaels was the last man and gave everything he got. I believe it was around 2003/4 because I think Batista provided a Batista Bomb for the kill? Not too sure.

I also agree with you on the Old School Raw. The most impressive part of the show was Mae Young participating in a match, she didn't do much apart from slapping Layla, but she has wrestled in 9 decades since the age of 17, that is impressive.

I also agree with you on the Old School Raw. The most impressive part of the show was Mae Young participating in a match, she didn't do much apart from slapping Layla, but she has wrestled in 9 decades since the age of 17, that is impressive.
Yeah that was in 2003, I remember that.

I also enjoyed Old School RAW, alot of great memories as Misawa said. Some superstars there that I never thought I'd see again - and J.R just made the night perfect <3

Anyone think that Wade Barrett will win the WWE Championship at Survivor Series which then leads to a PG brawl between Cena & Barrett and then The Miz cashes in the Money in the Bank briefcase on Barrett to win the WWE Championship? I do. :)

"PG brawl". I love how everyone doesn't stop mentioning PG when it's barely having any effect on the product.

Arron
19-11-2010, 11:26 AM
So lets say for instance "blood" - this is done to make it a little more realistic/electrifying/watchable.
Of course most of the time wrestlers use to cut themselves with a little pin strapped to their wrist etc but sometimes not - this did make it more entertaining and watchable for the older generation. I think the ratings WWE get now speaks volumes compared to 10 years ago. Now that the election is over, they should just go all out in making their product a show for all. Anything along the lines of setting up something equivalent to the attitude era would make a massive impact on todays product. Of course this would never have the same 'feel' as it did 12 years ago.

I do feel that the Nexus invasion could have been the best possible start to scrap the PG thing and just turn brutal. This was a wasted opportunity.

WWE didn't go PG because of Linda running for Senate.

"A little pin" is a bit of an understatement. They use razor blades.

The fact of the matter is blood was overused. Rarely did it genuinely add drama to a match because it was just used so much, not like the '70s and '80s.

The PG rating means no explicit language, violence against women and blood. Hardly three reasons that are monumental in the "fall of a company's quality".

Yeah I know but WWE being PG was vital for Linda's Senate Campaign, I think. Now that the campaign is over, the only thing stopping WWE from potentially scrapping the whole PG is their contract - I believe that runs out in 2015.

The buy rates for PPV's have dropped quite worryingly in the last few years and what would you genuinely do if you were Vince? Carry on with the PG concept until 2015 > possibly resulting to lower buy rates, sales in tickets etc. or would you just cancel the contract and reinvent a whole new version of the attitude era.

On Raw, Mae Young used two words which aren't familiar within the PG business - ***** & **** (if this is filtered then let it be, if you watched the event then you'll know what they are). I actually laughed at this because my initial thoughts was Vince would be furious, but it turned out it wasn't the case - apparently Vince had a positive reaction backstage by sharing a laugh or two.

Misawa
19-11-2010, 01:59 PM
The PG rating allows for mild use of profanities.

PG has nothing to do with the decline in PPV buys, ticket sales and ratings - that is the product overall. People aren't not tuning in just because they can no longer see women get clotheslined by men and blood in every PPV main event.

The main reason for WWE going PG is their relationship with Matel, that and being kid-friendly to expand their younger audience and thus have a more favourable public standing.

-Heart
19-11-2010, 03:18 PM
I'm personally not a fan of the fact that WWE is now PG rated, I guess I just loved the blood and the chair shots haha.

But to be honest, I haven't really noticed the difference. I thought I would, but I haven't. Still some good entertainment on show as there always has been.

Intercontinental Championship
Dolph Ziggler vs. Kaval

United States Championship
Daniel Bryan vs. Ted DiBiase

If this is true, it just further shows how much the WWE just don't care about the Intercontinental Championship anymore. Used to be such a prestigious title.

Not to slate WWE but as time goes on it gets worse. From when it started to late 1998 it went way up, after that it slowly dropped off...2004 was the end for me. They just don't make the most of their talented wrestlers.. for example look at Christain Cage's matches from TNA compared to those of WWE, not even close in comparison!

Big fan of Christain, hate Edge :p

WWF died when it changed it's name. And if not, it died when Stone Cold/The Rock left.

The DX return was, for the most part, a waste of time.

And you realise WWE was legally forced to change its name?

Mrs.McCall
23-11-2010, 12:07 AM
The PPV was disappointing. The Anonymous GM storyline is getting old and the PPV would've made sense as a reveal. John Cena gives a goodbye speech - the laptop beeps - Cole says something like "John, I may have handed power over to Wade but that was just to teach you that you're not invincible. I've been watching very closely and I admire your dedication to fairness and not shying away from doing the right thing. So tonight, I'M going to do the right thing..."

Music hits. Reveal. John's not fired. PPV ends epically and fantastic lead in to Raw.

This week's Raw was poor at best. Nice to see Lawler get back in the ring, he provided a few good spots and it was a great way to honour a legend on his birthday.

But that was about it. KOTR was poor, and don't even get me started on Michael Cole's interference in the main event. One thing I did enjoy, surprisingly, was Cena's interference with the Nexus this week. That AA to Gabriel onto the car was just sheer perfection. The AA onto the announcers table was probably the only decent highlight of that tag team match - it was dire. "HE SPILT MY DIET SODA!" - made me laugh :L. Nexus' new shirts look pretty lush though.

it's funny 'cause i was watching the "old school wrestling (pre 2005)" Oh how i miss the days of Guerrero, Lesnar, Rocky, Angle and Austin wrestling just isn't as epic as it used to be. The only spectacular match that has been in the last year or so has been Shawn vs Undertaker at WM. If anyone wants to see a truley decent match that isn't into wrestling i recommend Eddie Guerrero Vs. Brock Lesnar at no way out or Vs. Kurt angle at Wrestlemania.

I remember in about 2003 there was a PPV on a Saturday night called something like Insuraction. £14.95 was the price. It was an absolute terrible event and a waste of money.

Only big PPV names - such as Unforgiven, Royal Rumble, WM and Armageddon were on Box Office. Events such as Backlash and American Bash were on Sky Sports.

Misawa
15-12-2010, 12:53 PM
Insurrexion and Rebellion were the two WWE PPVs held in the UK each year.

A decent Raw on Monday, with what I think was a great twist in Punk announcing himself as the new leader of the Nexus. Be interesting to see where this leaves the likes of Barrett.

Glad that Ziggler has got a push, don't expect/think he should win the title at the Rumble, but it'll be a good learning curve for him and a chance for the WWE to test him out in the main event scene. The Rumble has been the PPV for years in which mid carders have been tested out in the main event, so it'll be interesting to see how he fares against an experienced superstar in Edge. The promos should be interesting with Edge's past with Vickie etc.

Don't get what they've done with Zeke, heel on ECW, face for a week for Summerslam, nothing for months, face in KOTR, heel in Nexus 2.0 on SD!

Make their mind up.

Doubt it, he's trying to distance himself from his "The Rock" persona.

Misawa

He was planning a big angle for the summer but it fell through because of his schedule. He started distancing himself a few years when he dropped "The Rock" name, but he brought it back.

When is Triple H due to return, he's one of the only good wrestlers nowadays!

Arron
28-01-2011, 09:15 AM
Triple H could be expected for the Royal Rumble. If not he said in a recent interview that he hopes to return to the ring in Spring. Bare in mind though that he has recently been doing behind the scenes work at WWE with the programme tapings, so whether he decides to go to the ring full-time or part-time is entirely up to him.

let down tbh, watched it with mate and wasn't worth the £15 we spent on it.

Kane went out to easy, hate how cena comes in and takes out nexus, Santino should have won.

Anyone know who is that mystery person with that "21/02/11" promo? Lots of rumors claiming it to be Sting.

Misawa

The Undertaker.

RatedRShadow

The Undertaker.

Could be too. I was like expecting Awesome Kong to be debut on Raw last night. But sadly, she didn't although she is at the backstage.

Misawa
01-02-2011, 09:03 PM
She'll debut very soon, but there's no one she can hold a legitimate feud with apart from Beth Phoenix. Now if this was 8 years ago when we had Trish Stratus, Lita, Ivory, Chyna, etc, it would be a different story.

Arron
02-02-2011, 01:41 PM
Just watched Raw. 21-2-11 falls on a Monday (Raw). The Undertaker is on the SmackDown brand so I'm not sure whether this promo is relating to the return of The Undertaker. Maybe just be a new WWE Superstar arriving.

Misawa
02-02-2011, 04:23 PM
I've seen a commercial advertising the return on that date.

Arron
02-02-2011, 07:07 PM
I heard the video was accidentally leaked by the Arena's website where Raw is being hosted at that night! Alternatively in my opinion it could be Sting as WWE are in talks in signing him. I think he wore a gown like The Undertaker's back in WCW days?

That video stated The Undertaker's name though, didn't it?

Misawa
02-02-2011, 08:40 PM
Yes, it announces, specifically, "The return of The Undertaker", so it's not Sting. A newspaper randomly reported Sting's WWE signing and no online media can confirm it, so I wouldn't hold my breath. Now the internet is going on about a Sting vs. 'Taker WrestleMania "dream match", but why is that so? What do Sting and the Deadman have in common apart from the black trenchcoats? I wouldn't mind them having a feud, but I wouldn't call it a dream match. I'd like Sting to end his career with a WWE run.

Arron
02-02-2011, 10:07 PM
Hmm yeah, but isn't Undertaker expected to have a feud with Wade Barrett leading towards WM? Just don't understand why he's heading for Raw.

Yeah, the media gets excited and jumps into dream land. The only thing these two have in common is that their icons.

Misawa
02-02-2011, 10:27 PM
That's the plan, apparently, so yes, not sure how it'll work with 'Taker on RAW, but he will be after retribution from Bragging Rights and brands don't mean much on the road to 'Mania.

Arron
02-02-2011, 10:31 PM
Well Barrett is scheduled to appear on upcoming Raw shows, and may I add Triple H is also expected to appear in the future shows.

Jam
02-02-2011, 11:02 PM
HHH should finish his feud with Sheamus at WM then retire.

Looks fake. No reason the 'Undertaker' would be in a different font and SGR Michael Cole is clearly 'shopped.

Misawa
03-02-2011, 11:00 PM
Haha, yes, they faked a commercial with the official WWE video package narrator...

It aired on TV in the territory where the show is being held, but was soon taken down when WWE heard about it. It's real.

Arron
04-02-2011, 10:22 AM
Do you think WWE get peed off when they see that these videos are "accidentally" leaked? Or do you think it will increase ratings because people spread the word to tune into 21/2/11.

Misawa
04-02-2011, 10:27 AM
Well, that commercial was meant to play the territory, just not yet, so they would be annoyed, yes. Still, a lot of people won't have heard about it now and it came at a time where Sting's name is being thrown around, so I wouldn't be surprised if that particular RAW gets a ratings spike based purely on those who haven't seen the advert.

Arron
06-02-2011, 11:19 AM
I was bored earlier so I started to price up how much it would cost for me to go and watch Wrestlemania XXVII in Atlanta. With return flights, accommodation (seven days), car hire (seven days) and the tickets for the venue, the subtotal would come to £1,948.00

This is definitely something I want to experience in a few years.
