Interesting. I wonder if Uncle Howdy has anything to do with the Twisted Sister song Captain Howdy?

MayDay10 · June 20

Maybe I'm in the minority, but that all looks really silly and stupid?

I don't get where all of that is going to go. Yeah, its kind of cool to make a haunted house scene and make a spooky setting and have characters in masks in the right lighting...

But after that, what are they going to do? Commit the grisly murders of wrestlers? They are going to look silly wrestling in those masks and trying to act like monsters. Kane was a different story as he was a manageable terminator/low-movement type of power move guy.

I always thought the Supernatural stuff was kind of weak, even with the Undertaker, Brood, and all that... but they kept it as subtle as they could. This is like full-horror movie, and I don't believe that can be maintained.

It's beyond silly and stupid. It's embarrassing actually. I thought that years ago with Bray Wyatt and his Wyatt Family. It got worse when he was the Fiend (unwatchable for me), and now they're running it back.

You and I are both in the minority here, but we must stand our ground against D-level horror movie crap being on a wrestling tv show.

You probably are, but with that being said Bray and Bo wanted this to happen. If you watched the Peacock documentary on Bray Wyatt they were both very much into horror and wanted to incorporate it into wrestling.

Is Rob Zombie a WWE writer now? haha

It’s the WCW Dungeon of Doom with better production value. Just awful.

I don’t tune into Raw on the weekly and just catch highlights when I can, so it doesn’t really matter to me. But I saw the hoopla about this on Twitter, so I checked out the clip on YouTube. And while watching it, I paid tribute to hokey super natural wrestling by rolling my eyes like the Undertaker.

I guess i can see that. Don't think it will be as "hokey" as Dungeon of Doom (least I hope not).

Ledbetterman10 · June 21

lol, ok Dungeon of Doom may be going too far. I dunno, the whole segment just felt like an online tour of a haunted house attraction to me. I’m also not that into horror and Halloween and stuff like that so I guess this just isn’t up my alley.

MayDay10 · June 21

I thought the original bray Wyatt rollout was a good idea. A hick family with some sort of cultish beliefs. Mix in a few subtle supernatural elements to it, and that can be a really great stable/storyline.

Monsters though? Not sustainable. Never go full monster

Thought the fourth member for the "OG Bloodline" might be Sami Zayn in the fight against 2.0 but hearing rumors that it might be Zilla Fatu (Umaga's kid). I never heard of him.

eeriepadave · June 30

Not really a Paul Heyman guy but I felt bad for him on Smackdown the other day.I thought someone was gonna come out and make the save. Looks like when Roman comes back (maybe at SummerSlam?) he's gonna get a huge pop. Gonna be interesting to see how they build up the Uso's involvement in this as well.

MayDay10 · June 30

That's great. Good for them. Looks like they have a nice buildup going.

eeriepadave · August 3

SummerSlam tonight (aka "Hot Wrestlemania")

Surprised their only doing 7 matches though, but they are some damn good ones.

Predictions:

Cody Rhodes over Solo Sikoa (Bloodline Rules match). Roman has to return and maybe Jimmy Uso as well.

Damian Priest over Gunther. I can see Gunther winning at the next PLE in German though

Bron Breakker over Sami Zayn to win IC title

LA Knight over Logan Paul to win US title. Yeah!

Liv Morgan over Rhea Ripley (dirty Dom "screws" Rhea out of the title)

Nia Jax over Bayley to win WWE women's title. I don't care too much for this match. Rooting for Bayley though\

CM Punk over Drew McIntyre with Seth Rollins as special referee. This can go so many ways....

I'm not a huge fan of either. I just thought Punk would have won cause that's what the WWE universe wanted. It was a good story-telling match though.

anyone watch AEW's All in from London? Didn't order it, but was following along on social media. Looked like a solid PPV. Riccochet made his AEW debut.

Kinda surprised by this one. Didn't know he had cancer. He was allright. RIP!

Sid ruled

HughFreakingDillon · August 27

I thought he was terrible. Big man, decent promos, but awful stiff in the ring.

Ledbetterman10 · August 30

well this should be good.
