Thread 18438907

So now that the dust has settled, what was this?

>Work all along
>Seth tweaked his knee and thought he injured it, worked into storyline
>Seth had a previous knee injury and worked it into a match to take a month off to get it checked out

>>18438907 (OP)
You tell me.

>>18438907 (OP)
Plans changed

>>18438974
All part of the show

[Breaking] WWE cares about star ratings now

>>18439012
Honestly, grim. He literally is Tony

>>18439012
Who is he quoting? And if he isn’t quoting someone why not say five?

>>18439012
I love when Mr. Levesque Schizoposts like this

>>18439012
That's Paul just saying it's a four-star match to put it over. He's not quoting Dave or Cagematch ratings like a mark.

>>18438907 (OP)
Like Meltzer said, it was a work

>>18439057
Rating systems for movies used to be four stars. The same was actually true in wrestling as well.

>>18439067
Him going to a four star scale makes Dave’s ratings even more schizo. It’s kinda brilliant

>>18439075
I forgot we give out 6 stars now lol, good on Hunter for going with the ebert scale and not acknowledging melty

>>18439076
Jinx bitch! <3

>>18439012
He means the 4 wrestlers are stars not the match rating

>>18438907 (OP)
All options are work all along

>>18438907 (OP)
IT WAS THE RUSE OF THE CENTURY
OOOOOOOOH OOOOOOOOOH OOOOOOOOOOOH

>>18439113
worked

>>18438907 (OP)
Just wait for season 2 of WWE Unreal to find out.

>>18438907 (OP)
You're telling me these fuckers can't act worth anything and all of a sudden pull this?
I don't believe it, I think he actually tweaked his knee there and decided it best to end the match but it was never a serious issue.

Who cares. They did the same cash in storyline with the same guy only with a lesser title.

>>18439230
literally worked lmao

>>18438907 (OP)
LOOK I AM ACTINGGGGG

>>18439230
Seth is a card holding member of the film actors guild you dunce.

>>18439230
Go back and watch his SME match with Knight. He's obviously working. If Seff doesn't give it away, the production does. They would've cut away from him more.

>>18439248
I don't think that requires you to be a good actor my guy

>>18438907 (OP)
He didnt tweak his knee. You can tell it was an act by the way he was hopping on one leg. You don do that with a knee injury. He would have gone down right away if it was real

>>18439298
If you have a bad knee and you're used to it fucking up on you then it's possible you won't just hit the ground.
I have a torn acl and random stuff fucks my knee up but I don't fall over.
I'm just saying it's possible especially with Seth.

>>18439298
I tweaked mine once to where I was sure I needed surgery, I didn’t, but yes you instinctively put slight pressure on the hurt knee and just collapse, and thats just a minor tweak

>>18438907 (OP)
3rd point since wwe does that shit all the time

>>18438907 (OP)
It was a work only Seth could orchestrate. LA Knight was pissed even when the cameras weren't on him. He went to the back and told medical he felt something move, tear, pop, and they followed protocol until he was cleared.

You could tell the rest of the show was derailed after that. Production was all thrown off. They aired about 20 min worth of adds / promos before Goldberg came out, then ran another 5 min of adds. People that were there in attendance said they didn't know what was going on. Even with all the extra time they had, production still botched Goldberg's speech, because they were so thrown off. Seth 100% worked his employer, and got rewarded for it.

>>18439314
He did hit the ground, but it was an act. Before he goes down, he's hopping at first for a few seconds, like it was an ankle injury. But if it was a knee, he wouldn't lift the knee on it's own, which was his first reaction if you watch the video. That's how you know it was fake.

>>18439057
He's being honest. He knows it wasn't a 5 star match, but 4 is still pretty awesome.

>>18439012
paul is such a faggot

>>18439012
>both creative heads care about meltzer stars
Now what is /pw/ going to console war about?

>>18439012
The marks are in the board of directors now

Meltzer got lucky. If you take random guesses for a living like he does you're bound to get one right a few times a decade, this would be the first thing he's "right" about since pre Covid.

>>18441127
Four stars, as in four wrestling stars.
Davedrones are an embarrassment of the wrestling community

>>18441172
still a faggot

So what did the injury, real or not, even bring to the story?

>>18441292
It worked obese smarks

>>18441297
>hurr worked people
so does shitting your pants in a crowd, what's your point?

>>18441308
worked by big shit pants bix

>>18441292
Unironically nothing, just "kek, we worked people!". Things would have stayed the same if they had not faked the injury.

>>18439298
like this guy said >>18439314 when you already have a fucked up knee you manage the pain and tweaks better than the first time you fucked it up. I know because I got a busted knee as well and nowadays when I tweak I don't fall or anything, I just feel the spot being cold, then hot, and then I can mostly walk it off until I get home, put some ice and rest

>>18438907 (OP)
Work all along. There was that one dirt sheet guy that said he heard about even before the injury angle. I think the whole "well it was a minor injury worked into a major injury" angle was a massive cope by all the other dirt sheets who didn't get the scoop.

>>18438907 (OP)
100 percent work. Think about it. What other type of leg injury just goes away after 3 weeks of rest? Seriously, name one. It's garbage, all of it.

100% a real injury, he's probably still hurt to an extent. Think about it, who's more likely to lie about this, WWE or Meltzer?
