Ph3N0M Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) I'm not sure, exactly. Very recently, I think, they scrapped FCW and then I'm not sure exactly what happened. This is a nice article about it : http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/2361362-tracing-the-rise-and-evolution-of-nxts-to-cult-phenomenon Searching for NXT on the Network gives out results starting from May 21st, show, which is being called Episode 222(May 29th was their first big event TakeOver, for timeline comparison). The most recent episode is Episode 270. I'll start watching, and if I find it good, I'll continue through the end which would take me to the current product sometime in the summer. BTW, I am so sick of everyone giving this Wrestlemania such nice reviews(not talking about people here, but reviews on wrestling sites). Nothing except the last match was great, and the last match was great only because of the fun derived in getting Reigns' a*s kicked by Lesnar, and watching Rollins cash in. Taker/Wyatt was a joke and don't really know what it achieved. Not much can be expected from a Cena match, and the IC title match which everyone was waiting for was just average. Sting/HHH could be passed as decent given the limitations of Sting(and to be fair to the old man, he actually tried to get in a better shape so as to not wear his dreaded t-shirt, and was actually more decent than the usual Sting of recent years here), but only if it was Sting who won. The whole match(and leading up to Mania), commentators(especially JBL) kept saying how Sting was always a big fish in the small pond(WCW), and how he never achieved anything in the "big leagues". And Triple H then winning just cemented everything that they had been saying. And it was worse because at one point, the commentators even started doubting if Sting would have remained a top star if he joined WWE when WCW folded, almost pissing off his legendary career, followed by Sting losing to HHH confirming them in WWE logic. And speaking of WWE logic, why the f**k did Sting and HHH shake hands. How the f**k did HHH earn his or anyone's respect through the match? Handshakes are reserved for when the other wrestler wins you over during the match. This was made even worse because of the reason Sting was fighting HHH and how it was still open. Also, HHH kept bragging about defeating Sting in the later promo, nice continuity there. And I should not even start on continuity here because of how the booked the match with DX and nWo coming out. I'm really lost for words, this was such a mess. I'll just quote random comments from 411mania now: The more I think about the Sting match, the more angry I get about it. It's HHH/Booker all over again, with the bad guy coming out on top, saying, "see? All the sh*t I was talking? Everything bad I said about you? I was right! You are nothing, and never should have come here!" Exactly. The nWo coming out to help Sting was laughably inconsistent. Were Booker T and DDP not available? Hell even Flair would have worked better in that spot, with his recent on-camera falling out with Triple H. Like we don't know Hall, nash, Pac, HHH, and HBk are all best friends. we get reminded every year at the HOF when they do their mastubatory Kliq reunion. Except the nWo was always presented as a separate organization trying to overtake WCW with Sting being WCW's only real hope for saving the company. That, and everybody knows Hall & Nash are Triple H's boys, so the whole thing was just offensively stupid. Why couldn't Booker T, DDP, and Flair be used in that spot? Three WCW guys who all would understandably come to Sting's aid in defending the company's legacy. They also had commentary bury Sting all match, talking about him being a big fish in a small pond his whole career, how WCW lost the war, Sting was a coward and a bitch for not jumping to WWF immediately after the buyout, etc. only to reinforce what a loser Sting is by having him get pinned in his first (and likely only) WWE match. HHH beats Sting with a sledgehammer and afterward shakes his hand out of respect. Thirty minutes later, he comes back out, fresh as a daisy, and brags about how he beat Sting. Nice. What annoyed me was that Michael Cole seemed to join in on the anti-Sting bandwagon and was like, "If Sting would've came to WWE when we brought WCW, then he would've been a mega star." Two thoughts came to my head then; 1: Cole just buried guys like Ricky Steamboat, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, and other top guys by assuming that Sting was never a big deal, and 2: Because coming other worked out so well for DDP and Booker T's WWE careers... Only thing worse than Sting being booked to lose was Sting being forced to shake hands afterwards. I mean that was just bad. So Sting comes to WWE to fight HHH because for the last 15 years he's seen HHH do dastardly things and get away with them and he wants to kick his a*s. OK fine. That was the storyline. So HHH gets his DX buddies to cheat for him, then cheats using a sledgehammer, picks up the win, and THEN offers a pity handshake that Sting accepts?!....WTFFFFFF Edited March 30, 2015 by Ph3N0M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Did you really think HHH wasnt gonna win? Vince has a hard on trying to make WWE out to be the best. Be it Brock jobbing to Cena after coming back from UFC or Sting/Booker jobbing to HHH after the WCW. The handshake was HHH's idea I bet. "Hey Vince, how about I shake his hand afterwards to show him how I am a nice guy and respect him and all that." Whats sad and hilarious is that Sting didnt even get to be the guy that initiates the handshake. HHH had to look magnanimous and couldnt even give him that. Dick move every which way.

mohit9206 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Yeah i agree Sting vs HHH was an overbooked mess. Also i agree with the points you made regarding NWO coming to Sting's rescue was stupid. I also agree that this was a bad wrestlemania. Cena and Big Show Winning, Wyatt and Sting losing were all poor decisions. It was still probably better than WM27 but definitely one of the worst ever just like i had expected. That is why i am not disappointed because i already knew that it was going to be bad. Rollins winning was the only highlight for me. Wrestlemania gets a 4/10 from me.

santanu18 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 It is quite obvious that any guy who comes from TNA after leaving WWE will get buried at first, then eventually might get a push. Take an example from any of these guys: Christian, Jeff Hardy, Gail Kim (who was buried twice and never got a push), RVD. Flair & Hogan are only exception as they had entered HoF before leaving. I bet they wouldn't have allowed them HoF induction until after a few years they have returned from 'non-existent to WWE' TNA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only me, a lot of people(most authors on wrestling sites) had Sting winning in their predictions. It just doesn't make any sense otherwise. I guess making sense is not one of their priorities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushy Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) That Triple H Entrance... lulwutz? that OUTTA NOWHERE rKo (second one) was much more than HHH's entry also, worst WM ever, no show opening pyro Edited March 31, 2015 by Pushy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 lulwutz? that OUTTA NOWHERE rKo (second one) was much more than HHH's entry also, worst WM ever, no show opening pyro How can it have opening pyro in broad daylight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushy Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) How can it have opening pyro in broad daylight? no no no no, no excuses, how can they NOT have opening pyro for WM? atleast midway they could have blasted some, or while giving away the attendance record, butt NO, they didn't hence worst WM ever editwa: so, sew RAW nothing interesting except for Neville debut and the crowd reaction during the main event, totally a tr011 and explosive crowd but as for post WM and the First RAW so as to speak, this was SH!T, i mean, not SH!T in a good way, but in a SH!TTY way :| Edited March 31, 2015 by Pushy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ending pyro was great though. The sun had set and it looked amazing! Best moments for me was: The RKO by Randy... fantastic moment and also Triple H Entrance, LoL!! Best quote: "Welcome to Suplex City Bitch!" - Lesnar Now to watch RAW!! Today has been spent entirely watching WWE. Just good home made food and WWE!

Pushy Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) i think they are slowly swaying away from PG Era, would be the best f**king thing to do (steph being all bitchy and stuff, such aggression, total badass) also, they have introduced this nXt type led's on the ring side, looks cool though, so no complains, now just bring back dynamic PPV setups and separate RAW n SD setup, and some cool a*s pyros for RAW n SD, n we r good to go Edited March 31, 2015 by Pushy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santanu18 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Well this is a pretty big rumor/news coming out from WM. It puts Roman Reigns/Brock Lesnar credibility into question. Blood pill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do look spectacular! Coming to Stephanie, I think she looked super sadistic in the RAW episode before WM31... in the Sting segment where she stood up with the sledge hammer before handing the hammer to Triple H. This is the look in particular: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
