The Newest Positive WWE Thread

[wisdomwizard]

Its been a while since we had one of these. They almost always only get made when most of this board is depressed because of WWE screwing up big angles, or too much status quo stuff going on. Well, while not everyone was satisfied with the ending to SummerSlam, looking over things it appears to me at least that the majority of people here loved SummerSlam overall and are actually excited for the first time in a while over whats to come next.


So I say regardless of what may or may not happen with the follow-up, let's give credit to where credit is due and explain all the things WWE has been doing right this year.

[Bo Rida]

NXT has been consistently great all year.

[FinalGwen]

Yeah, other than the ending, I was thrilled with how Summerslam turned out. Just about every match was somewhere between good and brilliant. If you cut off the last few minutes, I could safely say it was my favourite WWE PPV of all time. So well done to everyone involved for that.

[1 Free Moon-Down with Burger]

Great PPV last night. Start to finish. Loved the ending and the storytelling.

So yeah, pretty high on WWE at the moment.

Though my favorite guy is probably going to be off TV for a bit pretty soon.

- Daniel Bryan is a one time WWE Champion

- Antonio Cesaro vs Sami Zayn 2 out of 3 falls airs THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!

I like how Smackdown has felt more important over the last couple of months. There's more big-time matches happening every week, and there's actual storyline progression instead of 'lets recap what happened on Raw for 1/3 of the show' like it was last year.

[wisdomwizard]

The Cody vs Sandow angle was great. The match between Natalya and Brie was surprisingly good. It seems almost like any two people can have an angle with each other, which is a really good thing.

[Been burned too many times]

Yeah WWE has been pretty good this year.

[wisdomwizard]

Been meaning to bump this for a while, but forgot. Oh well, right now works just as well.


So, anyway I really enjoyed that main event. Creative have been doing a great job with continuing to make The Shield look like beasts even despite losing, and personally I think they just made the entire face midcard look great.


Not only that, I like that they're taking each one of the faces aside in their writing and giving them an individual angle of their own. Big Show's started a little sloppy, but that first segment with Steph was at least funny, and in my eyes his angle has ironed out with how he interacted with the American Dream last week. Then of course, there is said American Dream and his two sons. That match with Orton put Cody over something fierce, the crowd exploded when he hit the Cross Rhodes on Orton, and they continued to keep him fresh in everyone's minds by bringing in Dusty and Goldust. I'm positive they're match with The Shield will be great. Heck, I even think what they did with The Miz this week by eviscerating him verbally has worked.



What else have they been doing well?

[wisdomwizard]

Bumping this, because of the awesome Cody/Goldust vs. The Shield match. Would have liked to have seen it myself but I was out at a friend's house.

[Kayfabe FAN don't want none]

They're giving the spotlight to THE UPCOMING AND RISING YOUNG SUPERSTAR BIG SHOW.

As long as the WWE have a short term idea (see 4 - 6 weeks) of what they want to do it generally feels & flows well. See:

Lesnar vs Punk at Summerslam (nothing after it, just that part of the feud)
Shield vs Rhodes
Bryan vs Cena (nothing after it -again- but just the build to that HUGE victory)

[RIHT]

Positive WWE thread? Impossible!

[Sparkybob]

AJ is still champ, and the other divas are starting to step up their game which is nice.

[Snaptastic]

The Rhodes/Shield match was extremely fun.

[Fiddleford H. McGucket]

Positive?

I'm Positive WWE has no Endgame for the WWE Title angle planned and is just trying to figure out how to book things until Cena returns

You know the shit's hit the fan when this pops up...

And now Bryan is a TWO time WWE Champion! He's tied with Bruno Sammartino AND Alberto Del Rio!

[The Man That Sanity Forgot]

NXT is excellent, and free. No refunds necessary.
