I have no idea what to think now after that Grand Championship match. So many questions and very few answers so far this season.? Even though the answers have been few and far between this year I'm absolutely loving this season. I feel like CHIKARA is building to something huge. Also here is the other
Archibald Peck who appeared after the backfist to the future.
edit.
The Swamp Monster and Lance Steel were also in the balcony with the other Archibald Peck during the show. All three men are time travelers. I have no idea what it means.

F**k that PPV was boring.
Called every match right except the shit no-finish WWE title one, they're so lazy with it all. Can barely even pretend I care anymore, the 3 shit weeks to every 1 ok week is beyond taking its toll.

This seems about right.
But I'm happy to see Lesnar and Jericho actually win for once.
The ppv just felt so sterile and by the numbers for an EXTREME rules ppv.
Except for the shield winning some midcard titles, nothing happened.

I love how the front page of WWE.com has the headlines "John Cena Battered in Ruthless Brawl" and "Cena Refuses to Go to the Hospital" and yet you just know he'll come out tonight perfectly fine, crack jokes like nothing happened and wrestle comfortably in the main event instead of selling shit.
It is literally impossible to invest one's time or one's interest in a product that consistently refuses to take itself seriously.
Just 4 weeks until WWE Payback. Get excited everybody!

I almost look forward to Payback, in a so bad it's gonna be good kind of way. There's nothing WWE can book to get any kind of buyrates. No more special attractions like Jericho, HHH, Lesnar and they wasted their first Ryback/Cena match.
Hopefully they go in full on panic mode and actually shake some things up.

I kind of want to watch WWE again. There's a lot of talent there I'm interested in seeing, but I'm concerned the booking will just leave the taste of a sour fish in my mouth.
Just do like I do and watch NXT regularly and PPVs. You don't even have to supplement it with watching Raw and Smackdown, PPVs catch you up with the video packages and you still get those sometimes on NXT also. WrassleGaf will alert you if there is a must see match.
Pretty much this, but for me PPVs aren't even worth just diving into. I wait to hear what matches are good.
Yeah, I feel like they treat each PPV as disaster to disaster
Instead of laying the foundation down for a compelling arc/story/character, they just want to survive for the next PPV buyrate
Unfortunately I have not kept up with this season of Chikara. Did you ever end up posting that theory about the potential time traveling stuff that's going on? I tried finding it but may have overlooked it.
Wut. Time travel. That sounds glorious.

Why does the WWE hate heels who aren't The Shield?
Just thinking about Alberto Del Rio/Swagger match.
They found a smart and clever way to keep Del Rio over and make Swagger/Zeb look like some evil people.
It allows them to continue the feud in case Ziggler isn't ready for the next PPV.. instead they decide to just waste it by using instant replay.. which is either something you ignore or you use consistently which would make their jobs much harder
And won't even get started on Brock.

Since we're hot off the heels of Extreme Rules it's time for YOU, Wrasslegaffers, to rebook Extreme Rules.
Here's the results and means done - tell us what you would have changed and how, and most importantly, WHY:
1. Chris Jericho defeated Fandango. Jericho countered a leap from the top rope into a Codebreaker for the win.
2. Dean Ambrose defeated Kofi Kingston to become the new United States Champion. Ambrose avoided Trouble in Paradise from Kingston and hit a bulldog driver to become the new champ.
3. Sheamus defeated Mark Henry in a strap match. Sheamus won by Brogue Kicking Henry and dragging him to all four corners, per the stipulation of the match. This went about 8 minutes.
4. Alberto Del Rio defeated Jack Swagger in an I Quit Match to become the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship. Zeb Colter originally won the match for Swagger by knocking down Ricardo Rodriguez and “throwing in the towel,” but his ruse was revealed via instant replay and the match continued. Del Rio made Swagger submit in the cross armbreaker.
5. The Shield (Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins) defeated Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan and Kane) to become the new WWE Tag Team Champions. The Shield won with a combination torture rack/knee drop/slam to win the titles. Now every member of The Shield has a championship.
6. Randy Orton defeated The Big Show in an Extreme Rules Match. Orton hit an RKO onto a steel chair, then punted Big Show in the head to win the match.
7. The Last Man Standing Match between WWE Champion John Cena and Ryback was ruled a No Contest. Ryback picked up Cena and crashed through the set, leaving both men unconscious. Cena was carried away in a neck brace.
8. Brock Lesnar defeated Triple H in a steel cage match. WWE debuted a new, “reinforced” steel cage here. Lesnar won with an F5 in about 20 minutes.

Legit got so angry at that Del Rio instant replay shit. THOUGHT ABOUT GIVING UP ON FAKE FIGHTING.
They have til tonight to correct this travesty. Hopefully Zeb has gotten hold of David Otunga.

Oh man first a fly now a woodpecker .
Be still, my beating heart.
Well, I'm not really upset about anything except for Ziggler not being bale to participate. What a loss.
I also thought Sheamus/Henry would have been a sleeper match, but folks here think it sucked.
So anyhow, I'm not sure if by booked you mean just the matches and current feuds, or completing redoing the ppv with all new feuds and storylines.

I mean what results would you have changed? How would you re-book Cena/Ryback? Would all members of the Shield still get belts? How would Trips/Bork been re-imagined?

Glad this missed me yesterday, but someone DID die:
The Shield deal the only thing I change would be to have Dean have the IC belt. But Wade has that. (I think) It would be nice to have one nice looking belt on them. It's all the fugly belts
Cena/Ryback you would think this type of match would work out best. Way better than a stupid Tables match per say. If you are looking for the double knockout the usual thing would be some sort of table spot. At least it was different but I guess folks thought it came off silly.
Trips/Brock. Man a 3 stages of Hell would have been bad ass, but I don't know if they could carry such a match. It's too bad the feud hasn't gone well because HHH has always done good in this gimmick matches. Last Man Standing, Hell in a Cell, No Hold barred etc.
I didn't see the match so I can't say if it sucked for real or not. I'm sure they did what they could without taking any extreme risks for either of them.
edit: maybe I would have added Stephanie at ring side. Just because. Fans can be lukewarm to non-DX face HHH.
edit: fucking a, extreme weather!

Damn, crazy weather makes me glad to live in England. It may rain a bit, or it may not. Sometimes there's fog.
I fell asleep watching Extreme Rules last night, that strap match was so dull.

Why? This is like the fourth time they've pulled this shit in the last year. It's a shit finish that castrates the heels but Swagger was never going to win. Swagger vs Ziggler would be a really bad move, especially given Swagger's sloppiness and their mediocre match on Raw a few weeks ago.
Speaking of that match, fuck Mike Chioda did a shit job. Asking if they want to quit every 5 seconds was incredibly annoying, especially when he'd hold it there forever until they said no. It's an I Quit match, not a fucking Say No to Continue match, silence is a valid alternative to quitting.
The instant replay thing has always been weird. It seems to get used every few years, and then completely forgotten about for 2-3 years. And every time it comes back up, the announcers talk about how weird it is and how it could set a terrible precedent. And then it doesn't. But once it has been used and everyone knows it can be used, heels shouldn't be able to get away with anything ever again. All the announcers see the cheating, all of the audience sees the cheating both at home and live, and everyone in the back sees the cheating. So if the ref can just pull up an instant replay, why doesn't he always do it? And what about all of those times when the ref said "nah, fuck it, I made my decision" or "fuck you heel guy, I ain't looking at no got dang replay for you"? You can't do instant replays in wrestling except for guys exiting a cage at the same time or falling out of a battle royal at the same time.
WWE has some terrible booking decisions right now. Matches paces are all off, finishes are anti-climactic and usually don't even make sense in the context of the story the announcers are telling us, heels can't get a clean victory under any circumstances and can barely win even with copious amounts of cheating and interference.

Instant Replay or even having a ref come out to reverse the decision is something feds do when they've booked themselves into a corner. No more, no less.

Video games suck. The video game PR industry in particular makes me want to puke. It's a bad day. I don't know why community managers feel they have to vaguetweet about shit and swear like that makes them edgy. Morons.
