Sherrif John Bunnell Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 It looks like we are getting another Owens and Zayn feud. I'm all for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Zayn is doing some absolutely stellar work. Always been a massive fan but his body of work in 2021 so far has been quite incredible. Almost like a modern day Brian Pillman. It's great that someone is using what are probably very real misgivings and using those as his angle and fair play to WWE on this one, they are leaning right into it by having commentators *just* dish out enough jabs to fuel him on. Very subtle which as we all know, is not usually WWE's forte. They are benefitting from no crowds on this angle because they can carry on with him down the heel rabbit hole...under normal circumstances we'd be right on the cusp where the crowd turns organically and starts siding with him.

Went on his Twitter and noticed a) he’s being quote tweeted by Logan Paul of all people, b ) he’s sharing threads by ultra lefty journo and media critic Adam (not that one) Johnson and c) he’s getting stuck into the VP at the same time Legend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoon Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Cracking main event from Bryan & Roman. Wonder if Bryan maybe goes to NXT or if he’ll now just be seeing out his deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Typical WWE. I mentioned a career vs title match around WM time as something they could build towards at one of the big shows, and really cement Reigns as the biggest shit in town by retiring Bryan in front of a baying crowd. But no, let's do it in the Thunderdome weeks after WM in front of no fans. Top work. I know it's not likely the end of the story, but just feels once again like they've not made what they could of something. Wonder what's next for Bryan. He was talking about how he was just going through the motions with the WM main event, so maybe he's just not got the love anymore. With his history, if you're not loving what you're doing, what's the point in the risk? I think he's earned a shot at going home to his family if that's what he wants. Hopefully they give him a bit of time away, he reignites the love for it, and he gets a proper storyline to send him off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 That was a cracking title match. Smackdown is light years ahead of Raw at the moment. Hopefully that isn't the last we see of Bryan. If that was his last match, then it was some way to go out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I can see him taking a break and re-signing. If he was going to leave he'd have done it LONG ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I’m still convinced he’ll go back. I know he still talks about wanting to work with the AEW/Japan guys, but as said above he could’ve done that a while ago. He’d be in the same role in WWE, but might be happy with the backstage stuff he’s doing too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I think there's an outside chance of him appearing at MLW if WWE do end up working with them like has been suggested. Would fall in with him saying he wants to do something different while part of WWE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Most of WWE's music is shite and generic now. Criminal that they let Jim Johnston go. He deserves a hall of fame spot.

forameus Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Jim Johnstone had some iconic ones, but CFO$ did the same just in a different way. I assume it was them still doing it, but have they changed again? Everything's just so generic now, the nadir of which being Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly's match being almost ruined by...whatever that was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So utterly dull and devoid of anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
