What was the point of the hell in a cell match?

A+ storytelling.

so we can see shane o mac again, how else would you write him into a storyline?

>>1185866
Competently.

the entire point of anything that happened in wm32 was to fuck with you.

WWE are so incompetent. All they had to do was have Kane or Rollins or someone run in and help Shane win. Undertaker gets sidetracked into a different feud without losing clean and Shane has a reason to be there. Now Shane is just there because "oh you like him better than endless authority promos?"

>>1185866
have him win?

WHAT THE FUCK IS IN THE LOCKBOX.

>>1185875
The Steph-Savage sex tape

Selling tickets

>>1185858
What? He did next to nothing last week.

>>1185879
I mean him being there correlated with no authority so there's that

JUST

>>1185891
Seriously?

Holy shit, I just started to get back into wrestling after a 13 year hiatus.

What the hell, Shane aged hardcore.

What's the story with him, is he popular now?

Stephanie looks pretty hot tho

>>1185931
> 13 years
> aged hardcore

Don't you understand how time works?

>>1185931
>What the hell, Shane aged hardcore.
Yeah, he looks 13 years older, almost as if he's no longer a young adult but now a middle aged man

>>1185967
>33
>young adult

>>1185891
Totally forgot about that. I'm sure he did too.

>If you win you get control of Raw!
>Ah damn i lost
>You know what? Have it anyway senpai! ;)

This just further proves what i said all along. That a Shane run Raw would change NOTHING, because behind the scenes the it's the same retards in charge.

>>1185874
Shane shouldn't beat Taker. Taker is a monster face in kayfabe and Shane is crazy rich man jumping off shit.

>>1186197
it's not like taker does anything ever anymore

>>1185984
that's pretty young, 60 is the new 50 m8

>>1186197
>Shane shouldn't beat Taker.
Before his unbeaten streak ended i would have agreed. What's the point in putting Taker over when the end result ended up being the exact same anyway?

>>1186205
Still have to protect his image because he does shit once a year at least.

>>1186223
It's just Taker's image is all. This Phenom, a Deadman, this man that dominated since 1990 loses to a guy who hasn't wrestled in seven years

I think the argument is what was the point of having that stipulation?

>>1185858
Shane should have just not faced Taker.

If they had built a proper heel over the last year who could have mained Mania instead of Triple H, Shane could have straight up beat Triple H by having someone run in or whatever.

>>1185875
>implying that the lockbox will be revealed ever

This angle is stupid. Shane did nothing last week aside from run into Robert Reigns who was as quite as a mouse

>>1185891
>implying Dr. Phil won't do a segment with R-Truth and Goldust

In my fantasy booking, after Shane did the crazy spot from the top of the cell, Taker would've just manhandled him for a bit. Thrown around, punches, Tombstone, lots of blood but after seeing him writhe on the ground still trying to get up he would gain respect for him and throw the match to hand him the company. Shane gets RAW, Vince goes ballistic on Taker, a lot of good storylines could spring from that alone. The way it was it just kinda fizzled out and now it feels awkward having Shane get the reward anyway.

Thank god, I can't even watch tonight and I'm happy

Why are people against this? It's called a swerve. Shane losing sets up an expectation that he's off TV which they then subvert. Bro, even I didn't see it coming.

>>1186334
Pretty good desu except I'd have Vince out there as Shane is climbing to tell him to get down, then pulls Undertaker off the table as Shane dives. Then Undertaker has an argument with Vince and chokeslams him through the table before throwing the match. Kind of like Return of the Jedi.

>>1186231
Undertaker is going to retire soon anyway, wrestlers are supposed to go out losing. Plus, they could of done ANYTHING its a fucking no dq match after all. They could of even done Shane + Undertaker against all the Wyatts in a handicap match in the cell.

>>1186326

Vince had an envelope which he implied was from the lock-box last week on raw.

>>1186373
Go out on their back to make a new wrestling star, Shane's not a wrestler.

Shane should have just teamed with Taker, I agree with you there.

>>1186350
Bro, logically, it's like one of those things where, the audience WILL. NOT. care about the match result as long as they're entertained.

This is all so obvious. Shane is going to book AJ vs Ramen tonight and he's going to bar the Authority from ringside, but when the match happens he's going to turn heel by hitting Ramen with a steel chair and counting the pin. Then Trips, Steph, and Vince will come down and the three of them will embrace Shane and they will cut a scathing promo about how stupid the people are and how it was all a long con.

>>1186467
>turn heel by hitting Ramen with a steel chair
That'd only make him be even more over with the crowd. Most ineffective heel turn ever.

Not that I don't believe you theory, sounds like exactly the kind of stupid move the WWE would pull.

>>1185858
what was the point of y2j winning?
what was the point of the ambrose/lesnar hardcore teasing for it to be so tame?
what was the point of building up sasha all these months?
Nothing from wrestlemania 32 meant anything so just forget about it at this point.

LOL RETARDS

>>1186874
more and more people are tuning out. Last week's post mania raw was down a million viewers compared to last year.

Not even the whole "and yet you people still watch" argument really works anymore because way less people are watching.

No. I must have changed IPs in the middle of posting my reply so it got around the spam filter.

>>1186866
We never needed spoiler tags before because we didn't waste our time talking about tv show plots.

Shane was only there because they needed someone to face the Undertaker after Cena got injured.

>>1185984
Shane is 47. Outside of the hair, he looks great for his age.

>>1187030
The injuries was what dictated the main card this year. And there wasn't enough time to build up the NXT guys for an Taker at EM match. Shane was literally the only option that hasn't been done to death over the years, like Kane.

Any word on NXT call ups?

Why did Shane completely no sell the cell match and that fall? That should have put him off TV for weeks, if not longer.

Out on RAW the very next night, totally fine beyond any real bumps and bruises.

>>1191900
cause it is WWE. name one time something was sold not for swerve purposes

>>1191900
That was the secret test Vince put him to. To see if he could walk into Raw the next night after surviving the cell.

Not as bad as your usual guest spot. He instigated a wedge between Charlotte and her father that will hopefully lead to her getting rid of him as her manager at some point in the near future.
