I'm watching the ep now on youtube. It's a direct feed. I remember back in the nitro days there would be a lot of direct feed footage from both nitro and raw but mainly raw with the commentators rehearsing and talking **** during the break etc. How do people get these feeds?

edit: lol ok bo dallas is pretty ****ing awesome. this is the first i've seen of him in this gimmick and so far it's great. the victory lap and then the pep talk to sin cara after the match had me legit laughing out loud.

I'm just going to post it. Needs to be watched.

Never stop trying. Maybe one day you can be like ME!



another edit: not sure about using the stratusfaction as a finisher though.

Lol, I am sure on the titantron highlight reel for Sin Cara is footage of him being powerbombed by someone else (and not the Sheamus one through the ladder, which should be in).

Bo is awesome. You better Bolieve it!

Does BNB get a match on Smackdown? I know they are desperately trying to keep him heel but surely he didnt miss both shows in London?

This. It's the hardest I've laughed at anything wrestling related since CM Punk was on commentary.

I like to think of that finisher as a ****ty version of Sliced Bread #2, which means I like it.

Bo has never had a good finisher. I could easily be convinced that is a specific part of his gimmick, but its probably just a case no one thought to tell him he needs one.

I think a ton of the WWE have **** finishers. Maybe it's just a suspension of disbelief thing I have to get over, but given the way the matches are booked, it's hard to take anything that isn't a theoretical head bump as a finisher. If say the Irish Curse Backbreaker is just a transitional move, why should I believe that the AA, which looks way less painful, would stop anybody?

When you give matches time to play out, less impactful finishers work because I don't have to believe they took out half of a guy's health bar. When you're booking 5 minute RAW matches, you really need something more convincing imo.

I thought this as well while watching that match. Gotta Bolieve that otherwise I might lose faith in WWE.

Bo match was pretty cool. Kinda crazy that he's wrestling in his debut and they still have Adam Rose running around doing whatever.

I just don't know how long they can keep the Bolieve angle going.

I still can't bolieve how good Bo has gotten in the last year

Bo has worked with above average workers besides Big E and Mojo Rawley. Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville could really improve the wrestling quality of the midcard. The midcard faces right now have no momentum. RVD should be fed to Bad News Barrett and the U.S. Title keeps Sheamus away from the World Title. The Shield together have vaulted into the Main Events due to departures and injuries.

It's not going to last forever but it's going to be much easier for him to transition into something else and develop his own lasting personality than it will be for guys like Bray and Rose.

I think Bray and Bo's gimmicks can survive a long time. They can actually both be tweaked to work the same way as each other, but in a completely different approach.

Both are basically a cult of personality, as quickly as Bray can transition to being alone Bo can transition to leading a stable. When you think about it both gimmicks at their heart are about setting the wrestler as a person who should be emulated and followed but who are also both toxic and who quickly move to anger.

Its interesting how both brothers got brought up to the main shows, failed pretty spectacularly to the point a first gen wrestler probably gets released, got sent back to the indies and embraced their second chance to retool their gimmicks bringing things that are actually very fresh and interesting and when you examine it are as similar as they are wildly different in various ways.

There's a ton you can do with the Adam Rose gimmick starting with random cameos on the party bus. Then when it starts to get old you can do an intervention. Then Rose finally relents and goes to rehab, but he's no longer fun Bobby when he's sober. Then we do a depression angle and he becomes Raven.

Somebody on a wrestling forum suggested that they show him plant a bomb and leave, killing everybody on board to have an alter-ego. I'd like to see that.

First time I've seen Bo Dallas, I'm a boliever already. That smile

Seth Rollins is now Batman without the mask and cape.

God****ingdammit.

obligatory "I'm afraid I've got some bad news" comment.

Seeing as how he doesn't have a match yet, I BO-LIEVE I've got the perfect replacement for BNB if he needs it.

Don't be lemons guys. There's a rosebud in our midst also with no plans for Sunday.

It's good that they say separated shoulder rather than dislocated shoulder. Maybe tests will say it's bad, but separated shoulders don't tend to be the awful long-term injuries that others are.

Sitting in a corner and thinking about what you've done and feeling bad about it is a plan if you've been told to do it.

(I've turned on Rose pretty quickly, entrance/Rosebuds good, prancing in the ring and not actually wrestling = terrible. Probably not a good fit for a MITB match).

Sin Cara might not be an awful replacement if you just want jumpy flipppies.

Bo Dallas winning the briefcase, going undefeated and then having his first loss be his cash in resulting in a huge temper tantrum would be amazing.

Yeah wasn't actually serious about Adam Rose being in it. They've botched him pretty horribly along with just about everyone else recently called up from NXT.

Looking through the roster I'd kinda like to see Fandango as a replacement. Or idk when the Miz is back...he could be an ok surprise entrant. Or give me Sami Zayn. That's the real answer.
