WWE Backlash 2016 Live Discussion

Most people aren't but this is the best they can do with a legitimate injury. They should have set it up on Smackdown but it's fine for a one off.

I think it depends on how long they knew Orton was injured for. If they found out like today or yesterday I'm fine with it being Kane as the replacement. If they have known for a week or more than I feel this is a piss poor replacement.

It's a random brand specific C-level PPV a couple weeks after SummerSlam, what exactly do you expect to happen here besides it being a glorified SmackDown?

Some people really don't get it.

 

[Galvatron]

Odd camera cut for the chokeslam.

 

[klunderbunker]

I have an idea. Showcase someone from the Cruiserweight Classic Tournament. Daniel Bryan and Mauro are involved in it so it could make some sense. How awesome would Cedric Alexander be in a match against Bray Wyatt? He made himself a star in a losing effort against Kota Ibushi. Could work again here.

Anyone but Kane. Unless Bray demolishes Kane, takes his mask and Kane does a stretch job. That would be a way to elevate Bray I guess. Make it look a legit beatdown. Not happening though.

Raw wrestlers. Try again.

 

[Sean Valjean]

If Bray dyed the rest of his hair red he could pass for a hillbilly version of Knuckles the Echidna.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

This is an alright match but Kane does not need the win.

 

[Navi]

Shit just picked up.

 

[J-Dogg]

You can't say they aren't trying to make the most out of this match.

I'll give them that it's picked up so I'm not so negative. Also Orton is legit hurt?

If they knew on Tuesday, they should have made the change on Smackdown. Play it safe for once.

 

[Galvatron]

Curious to see if anybody will defend Orton costing Bray the match against Kane.

 

[J-Dogg]

Kane wins lol

 

[Navi]

Poor Bray.

 

[Bagpipes]

Really? Wtf

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

When you thought it couldn't be worse... Bray actually loses to Kane. Wow. Just wow.

 

[L@RISANO]

The PPVs are what suffers most in a brand split. One of the many reasons I was against it. We got the emergence of Finn Balor, so all in all, it was a good thing.

First Holy Shit chant of the night...Kane vs. Bray Wyatt. I love it.

With the network business, I guess the extra PPVs are a way to advance the WWE Network in terms of content and value for money.




btw, poor Bray Wyatt, lost again.

 

[Da Prophet]

Bray and Ziggler should fight so at least one of them can get a win.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

To think I was gonna pop in here pre-match and make a joke about Kane winning this.


Lo and behold

 

[LBGetBack]

SMH. Would've been way better letting Bray destroy Kane. Would make him look much more dangerous.

 

[FromTheSouth]

As a Kane fan, FUCK YEAH!!

As a wrestling fan...RKO!!!!

As an intelligent follower and connoisseur of the scripted martial arts...What the fuck is Bray still losing for?

The way I'm reading it they've known since SummerSlam he may not be able to compete tonight but they were hoping he would be able to.



Why not just have Randy compete? Good lord

 

[J-Dogg]

Jobbers

 

[Sean Valjean]

Kane actually winning is almost too comedic to make me upset.

 

[Navi]

Bray and Ziggler should fight so at least one of them can get a win.

It would end up as a double count out.

 

[BaconBits]

Poor Bray.

This really isn't a bad one for him. It's on a throwaway PPV and it furthers the feud with Orton.

 

[FromTheSouth]

Bray and Ziggler should fight so at least one of them can get a win.

It would be a double countout and Cena would be declared winner.
