It seemed like a classic double - turn to me. Or is the WWE going to tell us that faces attempt vehicular manslaughter?

It really is the only logical way to go with all this but I wouldn't be shocked if it isn't a full heel turn.

They've already told you faces do that. Y'all need to stop with this double turn and vehicular manslaughter mess. So we gonna pretend that Stone Cold Steve Austin didn't beat the living **** out of Rikishi all throughout an arena and out into the parking lot where he laid him up against a wall backed his pickup truck about 50 yards away and then hit the gas trying to crash into his half unconscious *** until a cop car zoomed in at the last second causing him to t-bone the cop car? At no point did they ever consider Austin a heel from that, even when Rikishi pressed charges on him so he spent the rest of No Mercy and the majority of Raw the next night in jail.

Clearly WWE is trying once again to make this dude a bad *** in the vein of Austin and sell him as having to go to great lengths to truly cause damage to Braun and get his payback for Braun ****ing him up in an ambulance.

Wow. No PPV thread?

Enjoyed it. Iron man tag team match was good. Loved the ambulance match. Wish Brock would retire the german suplex. I like how Titus is becoming an old school type manager.

Stone Cold was always a 'tweener in my eyes. He never, even more so than the Rock, really acted purely from the stand point of a good guy. Also, you didn't add the context of why Stone Cold tried to "kill" Rikishi. The whole thing of "turnabout is fairplay" still doesn't jive with the character of good guy, especially when attempted "murder" is involved.

Or are we going to act like faking like your going to kill your boss, destroying someone else's property, attacking women and downing gallons of beer are indicative of "face" behavior?

Knowing Vince and WWE logic then I'm probably wrong, but after last night's outcome a double - turn is the best or most logical move.

And heels and faces tried the "kill you with a car" stuff in the 90's and early 2000's, it should have been left as a last resort for heels to "eliminate" their competition, yet I don't see how that works for both in a more watered down, sterile and "kid friendly" era like today. How can they justify the "hero" or face attempting murder in today's program?

Wait wait wait, c'mon, man; Austin wasn't no damn tweener at that time. He was a full blown face at that time.

Exactly. You might call him a tweener in 97, but by 98 he’s as face as they come.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

Wow, WWECW.

Decided to check out episode 7, because I wanted to see Kevin Thorn as freaking vampire. Show opens with Mike Knox and Kelly Kelly in the ring. Knox says he's gonna give everyone what they when, then they show a compilation of Kelly Kelly doing her strip routine. He then says that she will never take her clothes off in public again. She then looks down like she's going to cry or something. Future Divas champion, would beat Beth Phoenix multiple times in under a minute, etc.

No context? Was that not implied by me mentioning how they're trying to make him like Austin and likely going to justify his actions as getting payback on Braun for the ambulance incident that sparked this whole match?

And as mentioned past Wrestlemania 14 Austin was no longer a tweener but a full blown face. He feuded with only heel wrestlers outside of he and Rock at 17 when he turned. Then you wanna talk about context, way to bring up all his "tweener" actions and not mention anything about saving Stephanie McMahon from the Undertaker (whom he WASN'T feuding with at the time so had no reason to do it), his good standing with Linda McMahon, always saving JR's ***, etc. etc.

She just wanted to strip, man. She just wanted to strip.

The best part of the WWECW brand...the Abraham Washington show. And Tony Atlas there as his sidekick just randomly laughing at times.

So much blood last night, yet the irony is before Great Balls of Fire this PPV was supposed to be named Bad Blood.

That guy was hilarious. It was kind of crazy that they set up a couch on the stage there in front of 10,000 people and expected it to work tho. Hard to get over in that situation when no one knows who you are.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

If the reason you think that was a double turn is because Reigns did a heel thing and Braun did a tough-*** babyface thing, you're giving modern WWE creative far too much credit.

If anything, this is a very weak attempt to recapture SCSA.
