The Shield's Final Chapter Discussion Thread

[Ricky Smarks]

Fuck that...don’t build your show around it being the final Shield match then.

Wrestling promotion is built on lies. I've gotten used to it.

You know how many times wrestlers have retired or been forced to leave town and then you know didn't?

Remember Rock/Cena being ONCE IN A LIFETIME and main eventing the next year too? never trust this company

That's what I'm saying. Twice in a lifetime!

Mick Foley, Shawn Micheals, Ric Flair didn’t retire knowing that they were gonna wrestle again.

WWE knew Fastlane wasn’t the last time ever so it made so no sense billing it as such

Those aren't the only retirements. There were dozens and dozens of kayfabe booked fake retirements that have occurred.

Also, kayfabe loser leave town matches where the stipulation was either ignored by next week or a month at the most.

I can see WWE honestly planning for Fastlane to be the last match then saying nah fuck it lets do another, might be why we're only hearing about this a week in advance

If that’s the case then you’re saying Ambrose leaving is kayfabe

No, I'm saying wrestling promotion is based on lies a lot of the time. They lied when they billed it as the last time as wrestling tends to do.

That's how I saw it. I doubt they planned on this special at the time. You just realize you can't get the man to sign a new contract so how can we milk one last money making endeavor before he's gone for good.

 

[Swamps]

I will try to be here. I go on call for work at 10 that night. Maybe I won't get called out.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

If WWE is smart they hold Shield off until after GOT is over. I'll be here afterwards.



It makes me kinda of mad he had his GOAT vest and waited until now to wear it. I've hated those knockoff vests he's been wearing.

 

[O-Blaze]

I’m here for this hot mess.

 

[Shane]

At fastlane they were hyping it up from here to kingdom come that it was their final match. So stupid but whatever.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Opening with Elias. Good. Not missing much yet.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

So Balor's opponent is Elias? WWE really about to put the IC strap on Elias?
