John Cena forgetting about R-truth attack from mitb =agenda in shambles. Cody Rhodes pinning Cena at mitb means nothing, it isn't a stake at his claim =agenda in shambles. Cody Rhodes discarding an opportunity for a chance to go for the WWE title= agenda in shambles. A new bloodline will debut this week on smackdown = agenda in shambles.
pu7pl3: Goldberg would've still lost to Gunther either way so it's not because of him.
The same people saying Roman forgot about Seth, will probably say Goldberg forgot about Gunther if he doesn't show up. Damn if you do, Damn if you don't.
ValeeLove: Again, I can only answer based on what's in front of me. I'm not management. I can try and answer but I'm not best suited for it. You watch Ospreay Vs Swerve first and rate it. At least it's something we can do. It's like me asking you why RAW's ratings are floundering on Netflix; you can't answer. But we can talk on match rating and talk on the program overall. Do you agree?
You keep weaseling your way from the original question that CoolUsername put to you. You no fit even defend your company competently by stating the 4 hour Dynamite/Collision runtime this week and last had something to do with people tuning out. You first jump go Will Ospreay match banger then woefully tried to used ROH for excuses even though it never got a big televised TV deal. Raw isn't losing ratings in comparison to another wrestling show but AEW is.
All that 25 mins plus 5 star match, no selling, fighting spirit Will Ospreay banger yet Jacy Jayne dey get more viewers than am(she doesn't even need to kiss other girls to do it). When you've seen one Ospreay match, you've pretty much seen em all. He can only wrestle one way.
ValeeLove: indyfest? The match I watched? AJ Styles, Bryan Danielson and Samoa Joe were putting on better matches in ROH than Maven on WWE TV in 2004 and less people saw theirs.
Don't weasel out of this. ROH was never on a big TV station called TBS like AEW.
ValeeLove: Ask Tony. I on the other hand can give you explanations on things I have access to, like their last Dynamite. Go watch Ospreay Vs Swerve and show me any WWE bout on that level.
We've seen similar indyfest matches on NXT takeovers severally especially the black and gold era. If the match was as acclaimed as you say why did more people watch Oba femi vs jasper Troy on NXT instead?
ValeeLove: No be me talk am o. 🤣🤣🤣 Who's answering this fellow?
-Punk hasn't forgotten. He's got grudges against both Seth and Cena. Remember the promo after elimination chamber where he called out both Rock and Cena? Won't be surprised when there's a tag match with him and Reigns against Seth at some later ppv, probably summerslam.
-Didn't Cena mention R-truth among the guys he's beaten last raw before CM Punk came on? How is that forgetting him?
-Reigns is a part timer. He will be back by summerslam for Rollins and Heyman. Just like he took time off and returned at summerslam last year for Solo.
ValeeLove: You guys dont make it obvious with what you defend.
I posted about their numerous ads and shitty entrance music but as usual you no dey ever see am. I asked where Ludwig Kaiser was? Queried where they were going with Kross backstage segments. Complained previously about the lack of defence for the Women US, IC and Tag titles but you turn Stevie Wonder. I also remember Purple complaining about Seth's faction especially Bronson Reed teaming with Seth.
ValeeLove: You guys think I worship AEW. I only prefer it. There are lots of things about it I don't like. I just like that if feels more sport like than WWE, at least for the most part.
just the way we don't like many things about wwe as well
ValeeLove: This is probably why she ventured into wrestling in the first. I heard she even admitted it. Know what you're defending because they might end up discarding you.
Wetin jade do you for this life? Shotzi admitted she wants to join AEW because they let hot girls make out with each other. You do like say you no see that one as na your favourite brand.
ValeeLove: no he can't. There is no rule that says he can come back and challenge for that title. And even if you claim he has a stake it's still not automatic or guaranteed. What is guaranteed is MITB. What is Cena loses the belt before he gets to challenge? What if Punk wins it? What about Paul? Would a rematch have been guaranteed if he had won? There was no stipulation, nothing. I have wrestlers win tag matches before against opponents and it didn't guarantee them nothing. Point is, it's not as important as MITB. Again, we aren't talking about the bookers but the characters. Have your big matches at the big shows all you want, but make the journey there flawless.
You still wan drag this Matter? You keep saying there's no rule that Cody can challenge for the title despite fact that we've seen Randy, Truth and now Punk challenge for the title. You wilfully ignore fact that champions can pick their challengers despite evidence to contrary. Me sef fit apply logic with reference to history of a person's actions. Let's posit that the tag match means nothing as you said. My question is Cody has never been in a mitb match since he returned in 2022. Why should he start this year? As for Logan Paul we all know he wrestles part time as an attraction. He appears for a big show then disappears till the next big ppv. Him not being in the mitb doesn't hurt one bit. He's challenged Roman, Cody and Jey for the title without winning mitb. I use history and fact to backup my argument rather than simply stating what should and should not be.
Some things on my mind : Where is Ludwig Kaiser? Where are they going with this Kross devil on the shoulder gimmick? will he wrestle? It's been 4 years since Drew Mcintyre had a proper title reign.
ValeeLove: not in a sport. Take UFC for instance, while there is no clear ranking system like football, you can't just come and get a world title shot like that. It don't work like that.
ValeeLove: Seth didn't just wake up one morning and get a title shot. He had to earn it by winning a couple of other matches and being next in line. But by winning MITB he gets it anytime anywhere. Let me ask you this, if Cody can get a title shot anytime he wants then why do we have Punk facing Cena at Saudi and not Cody? You see that your logic doesn't add up. You're saying issues, there is no bigger issue than the belt. That's pro-wrestling 101. I once saw Shawn Michaels tell Bischoff that the best way he could get back at HHH was by taking his belt, it's very logical. The only reason they ended fighting against HIAC without any title on the line was because they had exhausted and cost eachother the opportunity at the belt. Again, it makes no sense for the characters of Cody and Paul to neglect the MITB briefcase for a tag team match that leads nowhere. Have them lose their opportunities to get a spot at the MITB first then this tag action can happen; that's what I mentioned earlier about excuse and reason. If they wanted to do that, they could have done it that way, you cover up your logic holes in the process.
Did Cody pin John Cena during that mitb match or not? He did but hasn't made a challenge yet. Who challenged John the next night on raw? It was punk. Cena accepted and named the venue. Cody pinned Cena in that tag match hence can always lay a challenge anytime for the title.
Valee, Na the same you wey dey complain of main eventers losing to midcarders want Cody to lose an mitb qualifying match? Another loss after the one to Cena at wrestlemania? I don't even think Cody has ever been involved in an mitb match since his return in 2022.
Here's where the you begin to think like a booker who makes money matches to sell tickets. What's the biggest ppv besides wrestlemania? It has to be summerslam, the ppv that is going on for 2nights like wrestlemania. That's where you make the rematch.
ValeeLove: Then why is he with the briefcase if it isn't of utmost importance, after all he can get a title shot anytime he wants now? At least we agree on one thing.
Bro accept the L and move on. I pointed out an instance where Seth got a title match without a briefcase. Mitb comes once a year and it came at a time where Cody and Logan had issues to sort out with jey and Cena. There are various ways to get a title shot. Even Logan Paul has gotten it against Roman and Jey without the briefcase. There are various ways to get a title match. King of the ring, Royal rumble, mitb and making a direct challenge to the champ for his acceptance.
ValeeLove: on what ground? Do people just walk into companies and get World title shots at the go? Is that how it works now? Do you agree with that?
Are you a stranger to wrestling? You know you can make a challenge for title and if the champion agrees you get a shot. Ethan Page attacked Trick Williams to get his attention then later demanded a title shot for the belt which was accepted by the champion. I dn tire explain to who no dey watch but wan argue 😩
ValeeLove: Oh really, did they go after the World titles immediately they came in. You can't defend this, sorry. The best you can come up with is either, Mariah mispoke or her character is delusional.
They hold exec positions, but they don't own the company. Plus, they don't have the respect of the locker room. They need strong hands to do that, hence the Riders come in. Again, I'm not telling you the story, I'm only trying my best to make sense out of it. That being said, I still don't like storylines in wrestling.
Now Brock is Brock. Since he returned at Summer slam, he had been talking on the mic, being part of the story. Making jokes. Telling everyone what he wanted. All of a sudden, he can't talk or reason because he's Brock.
Yes, Ethan Page went after the NXT title as soon as he came then won it. Watch show you no go gree .
ValeeLove: You need a case to secure a match at least. Why didn't Seth discard the match and bother winning it since he's Seth and can get a title shot anytime he wants. Title shots people go through the Rumber and chamber to get is what you're downplaying. Don't forget it's still treated as a sport and you still have to fight for your spot regardless of how good you are. Has he claimed for a rematch? A stake for a claim isn't still as big as a guaranteed title shot anytime anywhere.
While we're talking nonsensical bookings, let's talk Theory cashing in on the US title and still losing. I recall a lot of WWE fans defending it with their lives as they love to defend anything E and up till now that cash in hasn't done anything for Theory. Give it a shot if you want.
Didn't Seth challenge Jey for the belt last month on raw? Watch show you no go gree . Theory cashed in for midcard belt and lost. That was the beginning of his burial.
ValeeLove: so, I asked a reason not an excuse. I'm not saying do it because it's convenient I'm saying do it because it makes sense. I'm not saying your reasons aren't important but couldn't they have found a better way to implement them? What did Cody and Paul gain from the match, absolutely nothing. But their characters would have definitely thought it a better plan to go for the MITB. What better way could Cody have revenge on Cena if not by winning the case and taking back the title from Cena. They could still have their tag match, but at RAW or another PPV, not at a once in a year extremely important PPV as MITB. It was not an intelligent choice to make and you know it. Don't say WWE did it because... No, why did the characters do it?
Lol do you need a briefcase to get a match with Cena? Randy, Punk, R-truth prove otherwise. The tag match may not be important but it got Cody Rhodes a pinfall victory Cena. It puts a stake in his claim for a rematch.
ValeeLove: Is Mariah in this? If she's not, again, where is the logic in calling yourself the "next" champion when you just came in and *boom* you're not even in the contender's match? Who wrote it? Not "future" not "very soon", but next? When the writer clearly knows that she's not even in the radar for the belt anytime soon. Make it make sense. Some times they act like adults don't watch this. Young Bucks, I'm not going to explain that but I'll play devil's advocate. They are both heels, they share the same enemies, and they don't actually care about the company - same as Death Riders (you can tell by Mox locking up the belt and running rampage on everyone), so they found a common ground, stopped the pretence and decide to take over AEW and do it their own way and in their own image as both teams need eachother.
Who wouldn't want more gold? I don't understand.
But, till now nobody knows why Brock attacked Cody. And since I stopped watching I don't know how many other nonsense booking they've done that nobody understands.
As I've said it times without number she along with the other women declared that they will be going for that title. That statement makes sense when you compare her to recent NXT signings, Ricky Saints and Ethan Page both of whom won titles soon after they debuted. Aren't the youngbucks EVPS? Why would you help someone takeover the company when you already hold executive positions? Brock is brock, he's never needed a reason to attack anyone.
@valeelove I told you there will be a contenders match . By the way did the youngbucks ever explain why they are supporting Moxley? They ran away from AEW for a while because they were scared of death riders. What is the endgame of Mercedes collecting belts from different promotions?.
