The WWE Society II

Original post by Mackay

Seems a very poor show in general. Where on Earth are Creative even going with this Jericho/Styles thing? There doesn't seem to be a heel turn coming for either superstar.

They closed off SmackDown by dancing together apparently, too.

There are still weeks to go

A heel turn for either man makes less and less sense the more they tag together, though. That's the issue. Why Jericho didn't turn heel at Fast Lane, or before that, is bewildering.

Hard to get excited for WM at this stage, the only storyline to invest in right now is Shane vs Taker. Ambrose vs Lesnar has (or had potential), but for me it was kinda killed off when he ate the pin from Reigns, and I'm an Ambrose mark. The less said about the main event the better). It makes it a stretch to have Ambrose as a believable sparring partner, even with the underdog build. Either Lesnar should've been pinned, and then been built as an angry animal gunning for everyone and everything, F5's and suplexes all over RAW, or a damn heel turn for Reigns or Ambrose to protect all 3.

Reigns vs HHH- Boring
New Day vs whoever- Boring
Ambrose vs Lesnar- Boring (less boring than HHH mind)
Charlotte vs Banks/Lynch/Both- Boring
AJ vs Y2J- If it happens, boring
Kalisto vs whoever- Boring
Battle Royal- Boring
Wyatt's vs any match involving Big Show- BORING

HHH vs Reigns doesn't look boring, especially if it remains as violent as it did the last RAW. it might be just exactly what reigns needs.

Ambrose vs Lesnar is a great angle in fact.I wouldn't have backed Ambrose to main event but after the pop he receieved and just how compelling he looked on RAW, he's so over right now. I'd be fine with him beating Lesnar, or he doesn't even have to and he can still go over. If he does win then I'm sure they'll have a rematch at extreme rules where Brock will win and regain his momentum.

Shane vs taker, I just don't know. I don't actually see Shane winning this, and I don't see it being a good match, but it's hell in a cell with undertaker so it may be interesting. To be honest I'm looking forward to this WM a lot more than last year's.

I genuinely don't see Shane wrestling. And if he does, he won't win clean. Maybe a swerve with a Cena return, costing Taker and setting up that one final match at WM33?

I agree, just part of me thinks they may actually have Shane wrestle just because of how old Taker is

If they do, all manner of things could go wrong.

Shane hasn't wrestled in a decade! And Taker's 50 FFS!

Ric Flair was 120, but was still having better and safer matches than most of the roster.

Undertaker can work, Shane can do spots, Taker can tell him when to do them. Being in a cell, the actual wrestling will be the least noticable thing. There'll be weapons and shenanigans.

How can anybody take it seriously, though? A man who hasn't wrestled in a decade is supposed to push the biggest legend of the company far in a match on the grandest stage? Where Undertaker has only lost once?

Any defeat for Taker would undermine the streak.

PWTorch are saying there's currently NO plans for a Shane O'Mac appearance post-WrestleMania.

So, it's clearly a work to ramp up excitement ahead of WM32 and then the company will continue being turgid thereafter.

Something needs to change. RAW needs freshening up.

I don't think we're really supposed to take it too seriously. It's about as big a joke as Shane vs Kurt Angle, Blackman, Big Show. The whole point is it's a ridiculously one-sided match after all.

Taker has been wrestling WrestleMania matches for years where we knew the outcome, and still had people believing during the match when the ref was counting a pin that he might lose at that moment.
