Yes Bo is a heel, that's why he's been paired off with Sin Cara and Xavier Woods so far. But Bo is still very "meh" to me, I don't really get it, but then I think it's because they're dong with Bo what they did with Cody Rhodes and are giving him gimmicks when he should be gimmickless to actually work better. Cody bored me and I really didn't get him at all when he was pulling off the Dashing Cody Rhodes gimmick or the whole don't touch the face or the tash thing, but as soon as he dropped the gimmicks and just played it natural, he was fantastic.

I like this heel Bo Dallas "Bo-Lieve" character. His character is supposed to be almost like a parody of the Cena character. Such a kiss-ass that he's a heel.

[Corndawg93]

If you hate Bo Dallas because of his gimmick, then WWE are doing something right

[Shenmue18]

Yeah. For once they're getting people to actually want to BOO and HATE the heel. This is a pretty smart character idea in my opinion.

[Hodgey.]

I hate Batista but that doesn't mean I agree with WWE.

[Shenmue18]

Well, it depends on why you hate them as well. If you hate Batista because of his wrestling, that's not a good thing, if you hate him because of his character and you want to boo him because of that, then WWE is properly booking him to be a hated heel.

I hate Randy Orton. That's where WWE really messed up. One of the biggest gimmicks in the history of WWE, was close to being a genuine threat, he was perfect as the legend killer. At least he worked his ass off, an example is the match he had with Mick Foley, where there was no rules. sh*t went real in that match, a bat with barb wire and a barb table. He was generally a really good worker. I still remember his legendary moment when he tried to get rid of Undertaker, that storyline was insane.

 

What does he do now ever since? Barely anything. He either runs away from his opponents scared like a headless chicken or he somehow looks for an opportunity to RKO them. I'll admit the RKO is one of the best moves out there though. But how the f*ck did he end up as a member of the evolution? I still remember when he attacked Stephanie, which was hilarious, although a bit sad, and he handcuffed Triple H and kind of tortured him, and he kissed Stephanie. He was funny, but venomous.

That's it though I dont like anything about him, never have. Didn't like him the first time around apart from when he was in Evolution after that he went majorly downhill in my opinion. If I like a guy enough even though he has a sh*tty gimmick and is suppose to be heel I can still look past it, but when I see Bo Dallas get a push with his crap wheter he is suppose to be a heel or not is f*cking frustrating. I dont see why guys jsut cant be themselves instead of everyone needing a gimmick.

[Shenmue18]

I'm not a huge fan of everyone having a gimmick, but characters like Bray Wyatt prove that gimmicks can still be done right, sh*t Bray's one of the best things going in the WWE right now.

Yeah dont get me wrong. I'm not saying lets get rid of every gimmick but certain guys shouldn't have one so at times it's easy to see how forced a gimmick is which just doesn't fit them.

[FranklinDeRoosevelt]

He's alright.

 

 

 

 

 

 

He's got the whole world in his hands.......he's got the whole world in his.....hands!

[Shenmue18]

So, what are you guys' Payback predictions? Here's what I predict

El Torito beats Hornswoggle by pinfall
Bad News Barrett beats RVD via Bull Hammer
Sheamus beats Cesaro via Brogue Kick

John Cena beats Wyatt via FU
Paige beats Alicia Fox via Paige Turner
Evolution beats The Shield via Triple H hitting either Dean Ambrose or Seth Rollins with a pedigree while Reigns will get eliminated in a dirty fashion to protect him (Despite the fact that he's by far the worst in the group.)

[Corndawg93]

I was wrong about Chris Jericho's 1st podcast, it's not Jake Roberts, it's Bully Ray

 

I also haven't had time to listen to them due to Watch Dogs, State of Origin and and a DVD about Aussie comics

Edited May 29, 2014 by Billy james

[Shenmue18]

State of Origin is a Rugby thing... right?

 

Well, I listened to Chris Jericho's podcast with Rob Zombie, was a pretty interesting listen. As a wrestling, metal and somewhat of a horror movie fan it definitely appealed to me. He also had his son on there, who was actually pretty funny, I guess natural charisma must run in the Irvine family.

[Corndawg93]

Rugby League, Origin's f*cking huge here in Australia

 

And I hope I dont forgot to watch Smackdown thank to WATCH_DOGS

An interesting dot point summary on Triple H's thoughts about certain aspect of NXT; including what Vince thinks of it.

[Crokey]

El Torito beats Hornswoggle via pinfall as losing the mask is usually a big no-no for Mexican wrestlers.
Bad News Barrett beats RVD via DQ (accidental)
CESARO™ beats Sheamus and takes the US Title, 2nd Match of the night

Bray Wyatt beats Jern Ceeena, close 2nd Match of the night
Paige beats Alicia Fox via Scorpion Deathlock
The Shield win... or should I say Roman Reigns wins as it suddenly turns into a 5 on 1 as Ambrose and Rollins defect to Evolution, and Reigns eliminates all five.

[Hodgey.]

For Payback I would say:

 

El Torito beats Hornswoggle
Bad News Barrett beats RVD
Cesaro beats Sheamus

Wyatt beats Cena
Paige beats Alicia Fox
Evolution beats The Shield

Good. It'll make WWE feel uncomfortable now.

[The Gardener]

For Payback I would say:

El Torito beats Hornswoggle
Bad News Barrett beats RVD
Cesaro beats Sheamus

Cena beats Wyatt
Paige beats Alicia Fox
The Shield beats Evolution

If Vince McMahon could have everything his way, this is what the WWE intro would look like

Recent CM Punk interview with the website RedEyeChicago, he comments on his WWE status and says, it "feels good" to be retired at 35, you can read the full interview here: http://www.redeyechicago.com/sports/redeye-cm-punk-is-an-artist-for-wrigley-field-cent-20140529,0,3545640.story

Charlotte vs Natalya was a pretty good match. Best women match this year

[Shenmue18]

I'm in the middle of watching the NXT Takeover "special event", Tyler Breeze vs Sami Zayn was a pretty good match, the finish was a smart way to give Breeze the W and a future NXT Championship shot, but still have Zayn come out looking strong in defeat, The Ascension vs Kalisto and El Local was alright, pretty short but certainly not bad, Ricardo Rodriguez (El Local) is a pretty decent and agile wrestler for a chubby guy. I still hate the stupid Adam Rose gimmick though, it makes this guy who came off as a badass as Leo Krueger look so feminine and wimpy, so f*ck his matches. Russev squashing Mojo Rawley's talentless ass gets a BIG thumbs up, Natayla vs Charlotte and Kidd vs Neville were both really damn good too. It's close, but the women's match might have actually been match of the night, which is shocking to say, but it was a damn good match! All in all, very solid show, I'd give it a thumbs up and a big recommendation to any of you guys and gals who have a subscription to the WWE Network.

Someone should be a gent and help me decide on what to watch first.

- NXT Takeover (giving it a chance after reading Shen's review).

- Legends House S1 Ep. 7.

 

I'll be back here in an hour.
