WM gets later every year

[dsrchris 190]

Not really, it's always sometime during the first week of April isn't it?

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Usually yeah, I just always think of it being in March

[Guest John Hancock]

It's getting a little bit later on average, but not by much. All the 'Manias have gone;

Yeah, but this year it was all the way at the 7th of April, whereas usually if it's in April it's as close to March as possible. It hasn't been as late as the 7th, certainly not in the last decade.

 

And then after that they had another 6 week build to ER, which was in the middle of May. Hence why we're squashing them in now.

 

12 PPVs would be fine if they hadn't done that and there was one a month like usual.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Some are just unnecessary

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Just read that Langston/Axel is gonna be the pre show kick off match for the IC title, gotta say that I'd rather see it on the show

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

Why? Are you unable to see the Kickoff show?

[Maxximus 353]

It's really a good position to be on the kick off show. They use those guys to try and snap up some last minute buys, Shows they have confidence in you.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Why? Are you unable to see the Kickoff show?

 

I can but I'd rather see it on the main show

[TPIB 62]

If there was ever a time to solidify Big E. Langston's face turn, then this is the best chance for WWE to do it. What better way to kick off a major face push than to give Langston the Intercontinental Title in his first shot at the title? The title has certainly done nothing for Curtis Axel (because, let's face it, nothing will be able to 'save' Axel), that's for sure.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

After initially seeing promise in Axel I've finally given up, he does nothing of significance and WWE have all but given up on him too. Would love to see Langston given the title on first attempt.

[Guest Magic]

Yep, thirded. Would love Big E to win, I think he good potential as a babyface, he seems to have a nice feel for comedic timing,

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Just see his run in NXT

[Guest Edgehead]

I agree the IC title has done nothing for Axel and vice versa so I say put it on Big E for a while, he's already showing a lot of potential as a face & he's only been one for a matter of days

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Just wanna see Langston steamroll people

[ViciousPrism 177]

That worked so well when the IWC wanted the same with Ryback.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

I never did

[dsrchris 190]

Personally I'd love to see Big E ressurect the "5" gimmick from NXT. They still use the music, so why not follow that up with the rest of the gimmick?

 

I'm pretty certain Curtis going out for at least a 5 count, and hopefully more than one Big Ending.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Personally I'd love to see Big E ressurect the "5" gimmick from NXT. They still use the music, so why not follow that up with the rest of the gimmick?

 

I agree

[Guest Edgehead]

What is the "5" gimmick?? I don't watch NXT

[dsrchris 190]

It's pretty much just the old King Kong Bundy gimmick of making the referee count a pinfall of 5 instead of just 3. But Big E sold it beautifully on NXT to the extent that every match would have the whole crowd chanting 5 all the way through.

 

In fact, here you go. Almost exactly 12 months ago this was happening on NXT:

and matches like this:

and achieved a beautiful peak on NXT of this glorious promo:

Big E can be a star

[Guest Jayfunk]

I don't think so, he might make a solid lower midcard guy, but a star no.

[Shaun2J 127]

Axel's been pulled from the Pre-Show due to injury. So no Big E. title win tonight.
