How can RAW even compete?

So when is the smackdown burial happening?
The titles have little to do with Smackdown's popularity and more with the fact their authority figures are Daniel Bryan and Shane and NOT Stephanie McMahon
Big Match John and AJ also help
>>1513778
Smackdown will dominate the ratings until SummerSlam, at which point Vince will realize he has made a huge mistake and the brand split will be cancelled, D Bry and Shane fired, and HHH and Stephanie will take control again.
Other than Bobby Lashley and this guy, what guys would be multi-time world champions in WWE by now if they hadn't been retarded?
>>1513726
Sean O'Haire
But I think Lashley left on his own and Lance Cade got released because passed on an airplane or something (according to Jericho's 3rd book).
>>1513732
*passed out
William Regal
Is there a bigger crybaby than this vanilla midget?

Im not some full fail memer, neckbeard, wafuist, outlaw wrestling smark or anything like that. Im a casual viewer who isnt easily amused, and with that being said, Owens vs Zayn at Battleground was one of the most amazing wrestling matches I have seen in years. It was choreographed wonderfully, and the ending sequence of the match was pure art. It told a story, which is very rare in WWE these days. Bravo boys, you put on a beautiful show.

>Bravo boys, you put on a beautiful show.
Thank you, proud casual viewer.
t. Sami Zayn
Don't mention having fun too loud around here, there are armies of autists who won't allow it.
Agree with you my friend, i never watched a single minute of wrestling outside wcw/wwe but how can you have owens, he is a fat fuck but he is believable as a wrestler, thats all that matters

Step your shitposting game up Carter. You've been declining in quality recently

But i just btfo /asp/ again last night
>seth ate the pin
>roman ate the pin
nevermind the fact he is undoubtedly the strongest of all three ex shield members, but he must be the strongest man in WWE now?
what's next? is he going to retire undertaker at next mania? taker could put him over, he deserved it.
>seth ate the pin
Yeah, completely clean, too. It was satisfying to finally see Dean getting one over Seth. They've been feuding for like a year and a half and this is the moment where he finally one upped him.
>roman ate the pin
Well, yeah, but it was amidst Triple Threat bullshit, which is basically a distraction finish. Dean Ambrose weaseled his way out of the match with the championship in classic triple threat style (I mean this in a good way, by the way, it's great that he's a babyface that continues to be a consistent character that fits him)
>but he must be the strongest man in WWE now?
Not really. John Cena, Randy Orton, hell, it's even debatable with guys like Finn Balor and Sami Zayn. And let's not forget he got destroyed by Brock Lesnar.
>what's next? is he going to retire undertaker at next mania? taker could put him over, he deserved it.
Beating Taker at the Mania is basically meaningless now. Also, just let the damn guy retire. Dean Ambrose should be facing younger talent than that.
>he must be the strongest man in WWE now
Lol no
Just because he's Champion doesn't mean he's kayfabe stronger than some of the roster still
The following people are still stronger than him
>John Cena
>Borck Lazer
>Triple H
>The Undertaker
>Randy Orton (debatable)
So yeah, he's better than the shield but he hasn't beaten these veterans yet
>>1513540
Trips and Orton aren't above him.
Rest are thp
Would he be a face or a heel?
He's an old fashioned conservative so that would make him heel to the general audience
He'd basically do what he did in his own show, start out as a repressed conservative heel with anger issues, then do a face turn into a strict, but reasonable, responsible man who has trouble expressing himself but is nonetheless very loving and is basically the only thing keeping the lives of all of his friends and family together.
Get him on some TRT and he'd be a hell raising tweener I tell you what.
>I SAID MY VAG HURTS!
What did she mean by this?
Sexist thread is Sexist. Move along.

She must have a strong ass neck desu
I have three years experience in Kung Fu, two years in boxing and two years in Muay Thai. So far I don't have any experience in grappling, but I think wrestling is really interesting.
The problem is that I'm 31. Finding a club won't be a problem as it could be in the US, because I'm from Germany and there are quite a few clubs even in rural areas with people competing even up to the age of 40 or 50.
I'm just not sure whether it would make sense at all to start at my age because I think wrestling is typically a sport you start at a younger age and I would never stand a chance to even get decent. What do you think?
Also, how does wrestling compare to Muay Thai when it comes to workout and cardio?
>>1513344
>So far I don't have any experience in grappling
>two years in Muay Thai
>The problem is that I'm 31
No, the problem is that you're not using your brain.
>I would never stand a chance to even get decent.
Not with that attitude.
>What do you think
Don't give up without trying, you might regret giving up before you die.
>how does wrestling compare to Muay Thai when it comes to workout
Do you have a strong back? Wrestlers often like to have strong backs. Also, muscular endurance is nice to have
>>1513344

You absolutely can. Consider that 8 years is plenty of experience wrestling: 4 years high school, 4 years college. You can absolutely still make that, especially since you should be training smarter than a high school kid.
>Also, how does wrestling compare to Muay Thai when it comes to workout and cardio?
As a baseline, a bit easier, as competitive a lot harder. There's a huge difference in approach. Muay Thai is about pacing yourself and being ready for the full match. Wrestling is about exploding and making immediate use of all your strength and cardio. That's one of the reasons wrestling is such a good base for MMA.
OP here. Could you guys describe what a typical wrestling training looks like?
I can't do a trial lesson right now because I'll be in Japan for a year. Does anyone know whether they have wrestling clubs in Japan? As far as I know, it's mostly a university sport like in the US, so I reckon it would be difficult to find a place to train for me.
NEVER IN MA LIFE
Shinsuke Nakamura is godlike and the best active wrestler of the entire world, but they need to give him a manager pronto. He's not gonna go far in the WWE if he gets the stick for himself like what's happening in NXT. He shouldn't utter more than a simple sentence once in a while.
>>1513295
>Mojo got called up before he did
>>1513305
He's not that bad tbqh with you my dude, I think people make to much of a big deal over an accent
At least he tries instead of just giving up
Im not the best with accents but I was able to understand his promo before his match with balor

Are they booking Roman as being a fucking idiot now? His new gimmick is basically "constantly fucks himself over by recklessly spearing everything."
In The Shield, he was always the dumb idiot who speared Dean by accident.
>>1513278
>Are they booking Roman as being a fucking idiot now?
haha that was Dean gimmick before, wwe creative think that will get roman over
So, I think we're all in agreement that the Battleground main event was excellently booked. Dean Ambrose retained the championship mere days after cleanly pinning Seth Rollins and all three men still came out looking strong out of the main event.
Now, let's look towards today and tomorrow. How will RAW and Smackdown be booked on the main event scene? What matches do they build up for Summerslam? What's the best case scenario? What's the worst case scenario?
>>1513239
>and all three men still came out looking strong out of the main event.
Dean comes out looking ridiculously strong, Seth is fine since he wasn't pinned, Roman looks like a complete fucking moron.
And he kinda looks weak too since his power bombs looked fucking pathetic.
>>1513239
He'll drop at SS. This is just to keep Smackdown interesting for a while. Summerslam is a cross-brand PPV, so they'll use it as their last-ditch to move the WWE Title back to Raw.
Then they'll start a big post-SS angle to crown a new blue champ.
>>1513239
>How will RAW and Smackdown be booked on the main event scene?
Dean defends on pre-show and Rusev wins over Roman at SS Main Event
"IT'S LIKE FLATTING A SWY!!"
What did he mean by this?
He was so bad the whole night. Commentary botchamania when
>>1513235
>somehow managing to be worse than JBL on a night featuring Booker T
HA HA! WE'RE GONNA BE ON BOTCHAMANIA MAGGLE!
Would he be a heel or face?
>>1513202
He was a heel.
>>1513202
He was literally the Miz to Goku's Cena.
>>1513206
He was heel to us the viewers. To the people of DBZverse he was the ultimate face. So Satan would be face in the ring but sort of a self-absorbed, self-promoting, egotistical heel in real life.
Think like pre-NWO Hogan maybe.
