Ciaran The King Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Just realised that Orton has been a face for nearly 4 years now!!!!! Kane to join the family??? Edited July 27, 2013 by Ciaran The King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsrchris Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Kane better not be joining the Family. There's no need for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Redman Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Kane better not be joining the Family. There's no need for it. I said this last week, that I kind of like the idea of Kane joining them, if he actually becomes one of Wyatt's henchmen. Not have it as The Wyatt Family AND KANE, but just have Kane be completely brainwashed and do his bidding just like Brodie and the ranga. Having a big star on the level of Kane be converted by Wyatt would be a pretty powerful statement about his cult leader powers. Much more than only brainwashing a bunch of scrubs, if you get me. In wrestling, usually the real stars are too smart to be taken in by cult leaders, only the stupid f*cks are gullible enough. That would make it different.

Jamster26 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I'm just saying, people were convinced he would never challenge for the world title again. It was just a nice surprise for this to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Redman Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I'm just saying, people were convinced he would never challenge for the world title again. It was just a nice surprise for this to happen. I don't think they were really, not that he'd literally never have another title shot ever again. The World Title is a midcard belt, it isn't beyond him. People were telling you that his primary job is to put people over, which is still true since the point of this is for him to put Alberto over while he has nothing better to do.

Jamster26 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 It was surprising even for me. I was convinced Orton or RVD would be getting the shot seeing as, on surface, they both had more momentum than Christian has / had. I'm not a huge fan of Del Rio though to be honest, hopefully Christian takes the title at Summerslam and goes on to have a feud with Ziggler or something.

Jimmy Redman Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Yeah I'm surprised too. Although he's been getting some surprising wins lately, so they must have been considering it for a couple weeks now. There's really not much else to do with Alberto at the moment. No way he's winning the title though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Del Rio/Ziggler feud hasn't had a really logical conclusion yet, Ziggler is just distracted by Tits McGee and AJ. After he's dispatched with those two, he'll take Del Rio's belt. EDIT: Look'it me. Applying logic to rasslin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciaran The King Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 You had to love Del Rio's Superkick to RVD, it was a thing of beauty. So is Christian the #1 contender to Del Rio's title?? Sandow/Orton was good and I'm glad with the finale a good way to keep Sandow looking strong. Ziggler still came across as a heel in my opinion.

I liked the finish, but Del Rio's superkick just looked weird. I love me a good superkick, and that wasn't it. But it's all opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
