For Tonight...

Dixie or Steph

If it's Steph, probably leads to a Angle vs Triple H match.

If it's Dixie, Steph still shows up anyway and buries her on TV - which leads to a Angle and Triple H match.

Shelton's mama.
Shelton.

Oh man I'm going to leaning on the fast forward button so hard when this comes up.

I say it's long-term booking. Kurt Angle favourited images from that WWE Diva Porn page on Twitter, and now one of the women on the roster is taking legal action over sexual harassment.

It's crass enough to be WWE and Vince will think he's being progressive by covering a workplace impropriety angle.

Is he saying "I love you" to Vince?

Wasn't Sami considered an all-time, influential indie performer with a strong Japan run who is widely and highly respected by many greats in the business?

It seems like you guys all are either meh on or actively hate the guy now.

I like him more now than I have for the rest of his WWE run. Geek Sami is the best.
 
If this Angle thing has anything to do with Bayley, her career is dead.

ZSJ and Tana, phew, someone get me some water. I'm not ready for Naito and Ibushi

I still like Sami and I want the guy to get a IC run, but let's be honest with where he is right now. He's been used ineffectively and his in-ring work is very repetitious: big bumps, lost of flailing, over the rope move and the kick.

I still maintain that the Blue Thunder Bomb should be Sami's finisher. It's so smooth.

It's sad how underutilized Sami has been on the main roster. He can obviously carry a show, he was pretty much the main character of NXT for two years

Good lord that Naito/Ibushi match. My neck hurts just from watching it. Start of the match:

Ibushi: Just fuck my neck up.

Naito: I got you fam.

Funny enough, I think Naito may have gotten some of the nastier neck bumps in the match.
 
I just want to see more from Sami in the ring. I just can't get into the "I'm going to flail and over sell" kind of thing when it's happening non-stop. I like Big E, but he is boring as hell in the ring because he does the SAME stuff all the time.

Sami is awesome, but I think fans have caught on that he's pretty unlikely to win any world titles soon. That's why there's no Yes Movement-type enthusiasm for him.
 
I like Sami.

And I know everyone likes the current gimmick he has but I hate it.

The gimmick is the best, so entertaining.

Goes back to what I said before NXT doesn't make mid carders, it makes main eventers (in the eyes of the fans) who get stuck in the mid card
 
You know what annoyed me about catchphrase? None of the answers were catchphrases, they were sayings - Roy's "say what you see" line was a much better descriptor for the show than Catchphrase, while also ironically being a catchphrase itself.

Sami Zayn never had a strong Japan run

C'mon, he had a great 2-year stint with DDT, a nice little run with the KO-D belt, a fantastic trilogy of matches with Ibushi and instantly got over with the DDT crowd.

The underdog stuff's forced - WWE push him as an underdog because he's small and a bit of a goober, but the reason Generico made such a great underdog was because he was unlikely and we'd had years of him being a mid-card or comedy guy to build on. I remember when Bryan left for WWE and there was so much talk about who'd take his spot, not necessarily as the top guy in ROH, but rather as THE guy on the indies who's guaranteed to have a great match whoever he's in the ring with. There was a lot of talk of Davey Richards, Tyler Black and Nigel McGuinness, but few predicted that it would be Generico. And that's what made him an underdog, everyone knew he was good, they just didn't consider him and then were pleasantly surprised when he did step up.

I am out of the loop.
I know they brought her in for the Angle doc but
Is
Dixie
on RAW a legit possibility of happening?

Sami Wow-wow is good peoples. He deserves at least a mid card title.

But I'm pretty sure he's going to put over Mike for his first feud.
 

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
So what's Angle announcing tonight? I'm weirdly interested.

Also lol @ people thinking Dixie Carter is going to be on Raw tonight. Like why would that make a lick of sense?
 
Sami is a reliable worker, who can stay over despite losing because he's likeable and talented both in ring and on the mic.


He's actually being used quite well overall, not everyone can be a main eventer...

And don't say but Jinder, that's a completely different thing.
 
I wasn't trying to put down Sami, just that if we're going by current situations his aint that great. I'm sure he's probably happy as hell to just be there, just a bummer we're not getting more. His feud with Braun could have been so much more but that carny as Mick thing ruined it.

He's more than a reliable worker, he's one of the most talented guys they have.

He is the biggest geek on the roster how is that being treated well? Also he is one of the best workers in the company.
