sek69 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hunter did put Roman over at one of those events so he's a team player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 (in a 25-minute match). Let it never saw the light of day. Please. Apparently it was the wwe big match formula and jinder was put over because he got to kick out of 3 pedigrees while hhh kicked out of one of jinders finishes at least that is what someone on Reddit thought the idea behind that was. Also post match there are photos of jinder shaking hands with hhh and bowing to him like he is the conqueror. It is all very Triple H https://imgur.com/a/P5rwp I was there live. He kicked out of one pedigree. Jinder never hit his finisher. Triple H beat him despite interfenece from the Singh brothers. It was a jumbled mess in a way because both took turns playing heel, and it confused the crowd a bit, esp because for many of them it was their first live event. By the end they were randomly cheering spots. The pop for the entrance was massive but the heat died out a bit in the match. Unlike the Shield match, where the Shield got such a tremendous pop Roman could not stop smiling, and the crowd was extremely hot throughout the match. You could tell easily that the participants were really pleased about the crowd reaction to their match. He was put over by Hunter cutting a promo after the match saying Jinder has earned his respect and India is in good hands because Jinder is great no matter what the haters say. He followed that by dancing with Jinder and the Singh brothers before pedigreeing one of them and leaving. Jinder closed the show by cutting a promo thanking us.

MoS Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 It was my first live event also, and it was so much fun!! I had an absolute blast; because it was a house show, there was a lot of playing to the crowd, and it was great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Sorrow Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Point being, I seriously doubt that what happened on the India shows is going to be a part of the TV, and that's the canon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenese Sarwieh Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 I don't care who wins the Bray vs Matt singles feud, but if it leads to the Wyatts vs Hardys at some remote location preferably for WM (think Goldust vs Piper), I'm all in. Just make it better than the House of Horrors match with Orton. Just let the Hardys have creative control and it'll be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't check, though, so I could be off on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Trips beating Jinder in India is so blah. It just seems so pointless. Why give the crowd what they wanted? Ohhh well. It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, just an annoyance. I am pretty excited about Woken Matt Hardy, but I think there is a legit chance this is what crushes Bray. I know I know, there are mixed feelings about Bray, but he has more or less stayed relevant in the WWE universe because he hasn't been really upstaged in terms of crazy cryptic promos and being an over the top character. I always felt like has been able to lose because he is such a unique part of the world in which they operate. They can always reset him and run with it. Woken Matt Hardy will very likely upstage him. He will out-Bray Bray and turn him into the second tier crazy person. That strikes me as something that could actually hurt Bray in the eyes of the general audience, make him less interesting.

Here's the arrest report: https://twitter.com/GainesvillePD/status/939852538026872839/photo/1 Not a good look when your statement to the police is contradicted by two eyewitnesses. Also, the fact that she was willing to jump out of a moving car to get away from him leads me to believe that this wasn't the first incident.

"The Vic stated they were afraid of the Def as he has a temper sometimes." Is a very sinister line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microstatistics Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Its just a house show. In fucking INDIA ! That's why the WWE Universe suffered through this entire godawful Jinder Mahal main event push for months ! Awful matches, awful PPV main events, racist angles and whatnot. Because the fucking Indian Markettm. And in the end, Triple H beats the guy in Delhi ? Bwahahahahah ! Yeah this pretty much sums it up. While awful is a little harsh, it wasn't exactly one of the great title reigns of the modern era. And at the end of it, HHH goes over. HHH in the last few years was been really weird. Either he'll selflessly put someone over (Bryan, Shield, Reigns, Rollins) or he'll insert himself and win in situations where it's counterproductive or self-serving (derailing Lesnar, Sting, Survivor Series 17, this).

C.S. Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Good riddance to Rich Swann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 I enjoyed Rich Swann a lot. I'm glad the WWE could behave in a manner more responsible than the NFL in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Not to go too far off topic but I find it sadly hilarious that a pro wrestling company got this right with no public outcry while the NFL continues to fuck it up every single time.

DMJ Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 I'm definitely not criticizing the WWE because they made the right call, but one has to wonder how this would've played out had it been John Cena or Seth Rollins or a member of New Day, etc. Swann was expendable before the arrest. I couldn't figure out the timeline of Austin's domestic dispute and his quitting/firing from WWE in June 2002 - Did he quit before the incident? After? - but I'd imagine that if the Debra incident had happened when Austin was still happy with the company, the WWE would've kept him under contract despite the negative publicity. 2002 was a different time than 2017 and Steve Austin was obviously a much bigger star than Swann, but then again, without WCW around, its not like Austin was going to go be the star of some rival promotion, so, who knows, maybe they would've cut him lose.

It's pretty easy to impose a disciplinary policy when your employees are "independent contractors" and don't have a union, much less a collective bargaining agreement.

Goodell can issue out any punishment he wants and the CBA essentially allows it. They also have a policy after the Ray Rice situation and they still don't follow it.

Blehschmidt Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Fuck Rich Swann. I hope they fire him and hire his wife. She's been a fantastic presence all over the indy circuit,and he is expendable cruiserweight #2. I truly hope he goes to jail and she gets a shot in NXT.

It would probably result in a lawsuit and the player would play a couple of games before eventually having to serve some sort of suspension. They can get you on conduct detrimental to the league for just about anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He quit before, yes. In fact, the Debra incident happened the same night the Confidential hit piece on Austin aired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
