The Official WWE Discussion Thread

NXT was good the hour was 1 promo Samoa Joe and Ryhno and then rest was a great match between Balor Vs nakamura was better than Raw and Smackdown combined

I loved the feel of the first CWC week, the whole presentation of the programme stands out from anything else they currently provide right now, the show was presented and had that sports feel about it so give hunter a lot of credit in putting this format together, some solid wrestling but you just know it's building to something special the further we go in the brackets, ibushi was incredibly over and rightly so, probably one of best young talents out there already much looking forward to week two.

Wyatt compound match a rip off of Hardys Final Deletion. Thoughts?

Just lazy booking as usual from WWE.

Yes a blatant rip off of final deletion. TNA's was bonkers, weird & delightfully awful whereas WWE's version was just awful

The compound segment was no doubt inspired from what attention the deletion gathered and they would be smart to do so because it clearly got people talking and was a success wether people loved or hated it, was it better? not for me mainly because it was shot in the dark and came across more of poor mans horror skit, if people want to see segments shot in a cinematic style properly check out lucha underground they have been perfecting these styles of programming for the last year and the best in business at it hands down.

You got that right.The LU style of presentation is leaps and bounds ahead of this,its almost Sergio Leone in style.Up to now,one thing Vince has always done better than other promoter is TV production and the presentation of angles,but he's met his match in LU.

it is clear that LU is made for TV. Every storyline are interwoven into everything , if you took the wrestling out and balked out the storylines it would make a good crime drama. Where as RAW it seems that they being hindered by the PG rating and cant do some of the things in LU also LU's booking appear to be way better. The compound scene was meant to be a found footage style, I wonder if WWE would benefit from having someobe like Tarantino doing the cinematics as well the overall production of the show that is where Rodriguez is making LU look and feel fantastic.

The nakumura v balor was brilliant, deserved the 30 minutes it got. The CWC was great, have to say some them don't look cruiserweight probably that is due to them being stockier than some.

in other news it seems that brock lesnar has failed a out of competition drugs test that was taken on the 28 June before is his boing snoring fight against Hunt and he was paid £2m for that match.

Was it Horse Tranquliser he didnt seem himself
