Ideas that were badass on paper but sucked in reality?
God I remember how bad this match was. How the fuck is Khali still signed.

The Kennel from hell match.
had they booked it like a lumberjack match instead of putting 'rabid' dogs between the cell and the cage it honestly would have been top tier.
>>1172529
Apollo Crews
>>1172536
Awesome until you thought about it for more than 5 seconds. The actual match was better that I thought it would be with the spotfest.
>>1172541
Hes a good in ring performer he just has no fucking personality. His gimmick is just generic athletic black man. Why they chose him to get called up in comparison to so many others is beyond me.
is he the 2nd quickest callup after KO now?
>>1172529
If they would have just replaced the cage with that structure without all the door shit, it would have been passable.
>>1172546
Has he actually been confimed for being called up or was he just there to get a pop out of the ultrasmark post-WM crowd?
>>1172560
He's officially on RAW
>>1172598
Ugh. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the dude, he's got skill, but he definitely needs more time to develop.
>>1172546
>why
Vince McMahon picked Baron Corbin and Apollo Crews because >muh look
To be fair though they are good in the ring, but I think Apollo could've use more seasoning in NXT. The guy is bland promo wise
World War 3
>>1172618
Yeah. Lots of WCW gimmick matches, come to think of it.
What was that one wcw cage match where it was like 3 cages on top of each other and you had to climb down
>>1172698
You might be thinking of these cages, but you didn't have to climb down – it was like a ladder match where you had to climb up to grab a belt above the tallest cage.
I only ever saw one as a kid, but I remember thinking it was cool as shit.
>>1172708
Sorry, forgot pic
>>1172708
yeah that's the one but they had one made with it with retarded rules were you started at the top
>The main event Doomsday Cage match was a stacked cage with several compartments, Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan were forced to fight their way down through the cage, starting on the roof.
>>1172711
That looks like it would be good fun in a video game
maybe not to watch
>>1172711
Good ol Russo booking. Having Hell in a Cell and triple cage matches on the weekly shows.
Does the Brawl For All count or was that a stupid idea even on paper?
TNA ropes provided great potential for cool spots
Only problem was nobody could hang onto them
This would be pretty cool in Lucha Underground
>>1173129
The WWE only booked big heavyweights for the matches in it. I could definitely see some faster dudes doing cool shit in there.

This was a great fucking match.
they told a good story, wtf are you on?
>>1173141
Hell, you could just gimmick all of the bamboo so Mil and Matanza can literally throw each other through it, rip it apart, and use pieces as weapons. It would make a great destructible environment
>>1173146
Please have sex with 18+ paycheques
>>1173149
Honestly I was expecting at least one match in that place to contain a moment where the spikes at the top are used as a weapon.
Goldberg vs Brock
>>1172546
YOU TALKING SHIT ABOUT A FUTURE MULTI-TIME UNITED STATES CHAMPION????
Shit, I could even maybe see an Intercontinental title reign in this guys BRIGHT future
>>1173146
wtf are YOU on?
>>1173180
The only reason that didn't work out was because those two guys were complete fucking assholes about it. And least Bork came back, so over Goldbergs shit
>>1173215
>>1173123
required some fucking CROSSFIT JESUS to get that shit working
>>1172546
Crews is one of the few guys who's better at showing his personality in-ring than on the mic.
As for callups: Reigns was barely on NXT while Ambrose + Strowman never even appeared on it.
>>1175071
Reigns and Ambrose were in FCW before the name change to NXT.
>>1175174
I know that, just wasn't really sure what he was asking.
>>1172540
Or if they'd used adult dogs instead of puppies on leashes.
Honestly, I find barb wire matches and other over the top hardcore matches dumb
>>1173215
I'm pretty sure Apollo has plenty of personality. He just needs time to talk. He's gonna be the first black WWE world heavyweight champion.
>inb4 Booker T and Mark Henry already were WWE champion. No, they were world heavyweight champions, which was the secondary world championship belt primarily on smackdown. Booker T got WCW heavyweight as well but never WWE championship.
>inb4 Rock was WWE champion. He's half black and doesn't look black like Apollo. I mean if you saw the Rock and didn't know who he was, you would think he was just samoan or mixed. Be honest. Lets not let WWE justify their racism by using the Rock and not ever really having a black WWE champion in their 30+ years of existence.
>>1175198
Big E is gonna win it first.
>>1173142
BRAVO RUSSO
>>1172529
I vaguely remember the first one being cursed from the get go where the two wrestles originally scheduled to fight in it
>>1176992
>Big Gay
>WWE champion

>>1177668
When did Cesaro have this gimmick? Was this from ROH?
>>1177817
Shamrock was fucking awesome and ahead of his time, the fuck are you on?
>>1177820
they clearly had much higher plans for him
>>1177820
Shamrock vs Blackman was always good
>>1177820
> le shamrock was ahead of his time meme
>>1172529
The Batista jump during the match with Khali was actually a Hype spot though
>>1172540
link to this?
