I don’t know what you’re upset about. Vince’s tweaking of Nakamura’s gimmick into “Japanese dude that likes touching pee-pee” is great.

And now with Orton stomping on balls, I guess we have a new tag team and gimmick- The Nutbusters.

this is profoundly dumb even by wwe standards. 7 of 8 falls in the first fifteen minutes, then both dudes steel up til the last minute of the match. rollins then pulls ziggler back in with a minute left instead of winning via countout. jesus christ

Roman loses again

Are they still seriously going to have him go over Lesnar at Summerslam?

we can only hope. the brock lesnar project wore out its welcome like two years ago. enough already

'Loses a bunch' is usually how they build up future world champs so probably. WWE is very stupid.

Vince's plan to make Lesnar hated, by doing the whole "He doesn't give a fuck because he's going back to UFC" thing, might be working now, but it's still not going to help at all to make the crowd like Reigns. I don't understand why Vince would even think that.

I'm no Lashley mark, but let him have the match against Brock and win the belt. Then have Roman go heel and get Heyman as his manager. Use that nuclear heat in a good way already.

nachobro · « **Reply #5234 on:** July 16, 2018, 09:55:53 AM »

Quit watching last night after AJ/Rusev (which was really excellent, favorite match of the night), but what I saw last night was pretty good. KO getting tossed off the cage was scary af, Shinsuke still loves punching dicks, Lashley and Roman actually had a good match imo and I didn't expect to see Lashley winning.

I guess Kane actually has a broken ankle, which is why they sent him out with the big ass boot on but it was so fucking ridiculous looking.

Cena never got a heel turn in spite of a decade of boos. Roman will be the same way, might as well accept it now and ignore his matches like I do.

Cena got a mix of boos and cheers, usually the cheers came from kids and women- it doesn't seem like they are behind Roman. Cena's merchandise sales were always insane, which I always read was a big reason why he was never turned heel. Don't see reports that Roman's mechandise sales are on top.

Dude needs to go heel and needs his look/music changed. Seth and Dean lost the "Shield" look but Roman is still going with it...why?

Bob vs. Ramen next week for the number one contender's spot.

Reigns vs. Brock at Summerslam

Please make it a triple threat main event. That's got to be better than another fucking match between those two. I like that the storyline for the Raw women's championship is that Ronda got suspended and then has been rewarded with a title match for it.

I like Carmella.

Needs to definitely work on her ring skills, but absolutely stands out as having more of a personality than a lot of the other women. I don't think she'd be a very good face but she's a good chicken-shit heel.

It's time for Lana to drop the accent- you could hear it coming and going when she was talking to Aiden English last night.

The main event predictably was a repeat of Sunday, only with an actual match happening first- Orton came out to attack Jeff. That earring pull stuff looked nasty. I guess heel Orton is OK but is he needed? They've got some strong heels already with Miz, Joe, and Rusev to go alongside Nakamura.

nachobro · « **Reply #5257 on:** July 18, 2018, 08:59:37 AM »

AJ vs Almas was fantastic, El Idolo da bes. Mandy Rose is still lovely. I really want them to do something with Becky, and that Miz promo was both hilarious and awesome. I kinda stopped paying attention after that.

Also Lana's accent is a weird thing. She doesn't use it in commercials that air during Raw and Smackdown, but then sorta half uses it on TV and doesn't use it at all for Total Divas.

seagrams hotsauce · « **Reply #5258 on:** July 18, 2018, 09:53:57 AM »

i'm glad you guy are mentioning the accent cuz that really stuck out to me too. for a minute i thought she had just dropped it entirely but she would randomly throw it on her Rs towards the end.

Mandy Rose's theme is really catchy

Was kinda hoping the Sasha/Bailey thing was gonna be legit and one of them would go to SD...and then Becky would go to Raw. But they wouldn't use her there, either.

Heard a lot of good things about TNA recently, so I checked out Slammiversary and it was actually a good show, felt fresh, had an interesting look since it was in the middle of a bar/club. Checked out Impact as well and it was also a pretty solid weekly TV show, certainly better than any Impact I've seen in many years. They seem to have a pretty open door policy for their roster these days, with a lot of their talent on other shows like Lucha Underground and MLW. They're definitely an alternative at the moment, with a good mix of pretty crazy spot fests, very bloody violent brawls, and actually paying attention to stories.

Speaking of MLW, I also watched Battle Riot, which was their first "special event" on BeIn Sports. They have a bizarre roster of a lot of the same TNA/Lucha Underground guys mixed with local Florida scene, 2010 WWE mid carders, and NXT wash outs. But they have Tony Schiavone calling the action, they air their show at 6:05 Eastern, Col. Robert Parker has revived the Studd Stable, and they have better production values than TNA or ROH somehow. Sadly, they've also added Matt Striker, who is as annoying as ever, seemingly speaking entirely in memes or references and then patting himself on the back and congratulating anyone that gets the references. Low Ki is currently their champion ( ), Tom Lawler seems to be who they're building around, and I believe they put their weekly show on Youtube for free.

I wish I could figure out why Sami Callihan is so in demand right now, every place with a TV or internet show books this mother fucker and he's absolute garbage A disgusting piece of shit who isn't good at anything except looking like legit white trash you'd find in a shithole like Dayton, not the cartoony white trash like the Wyatts or Sanity. He looks like someone covered a potato in snot.

The G1 Climax has been great as usual. Thankfully Block A is absolute trash so you can easily skip everything until Okada vs Tanahashi happens, which is nice for people like me who get exhausted watching the G1 even picking and choosing what to watch.

Must See Tier

Ishii vs Ibushi
This is going high on MOTY list
Ishii vs Goto
Goto vs Omega
Naito vs Omega
Naito vs Ishii
Ishii vs ZSJ
Ibushi vs ZSJ
Ibushi vs Sanada

Worth a watch tier

Juice vs Naito
Juice vs Omega
ZSJ vs Sanada
Juice vs Ibushi

Ibushi is clearly the best dude in the world right now. Nonstop greatness with every opponent, each match a completely different style. Worth noting that the crowd doesn't exactly turn on Kenny in every match I've seen, but they definitely have wanted his opponent to win in all the matches I've seen but one. Crowd was 100% for Naito from the jump in their match, although Naito is the most over guy in the company so that's not super surprising.

I’d gladly give Impact a shot, but from as far as I can tell there’s no legal way to watch online. I’m not sure how they can not have that sorted out by this point[/list][/list]

Been watching this shit for an hour now (holy shit, Brock IS actually there and they're just now playing up the "I don't care about this shit" angle on TV with him...for his last appearance on TV lmao) and it's going nowhere as usual. Zero new buildup for Summerslam.

I have no idea what any of the build up for SS is, the last show I watched was about an hour of Extreme Rules and the Network was shitting so hard I gave up completely and never went to finish it. I haven't even looked at any TV results since then. What's AJ doing at SS?

Match with Samoa Joe.

Nakamura has moved onto hitting Jeff Hardy's nuts with Orton.

bork · « **Reply #5274 on:** July 30, 2018, 09:32:34 PM »

The current SummerSlam card:

Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns (Universal championship)
AJ Styles (c) vs. Samoa Joe (WWE championship)
Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Ronda Rousey (Raw women’s championship)
Carmella (c) vs. Becky Lynch (SmackDown women’s championship)
Dolph Ziggler (c) vs. Seth Rollins (Intercontinental championship)
The Bludgeon Brothers (c) vs. TBA (SmackDown tag team championship)
Braun Strowman vs. Kevin Owens (If Strowman loses, he gives up the Money in the Bank contract)

Dirtsheets are saying that the Ziggler/Rollins match will end up being changed to a three-way with Drew added. Nakamura vs. Orton vs. Hardy in some capacity also seems likely, and as does Finn Balor vs. Baron Corbin. And then likely some shit for the Raw tag team titles. Also rumors of Undertaker vs. Cena again, but...why?

Pretty much. The show ended with Brock finally coming out, then attacking Kurt Angle and Paul Heyman.

You know what, though? The crowd finally bought the heel (more heel? heel...er?) tactics and were chanting for Roman at the end.

WWE got lucky there. I'm sure some crowds would have been cheering the entire time.

So they are setting up a Heyman turn on Brock? They did that before back in the day but it's a good idea cause Heyman is so naturally hateable so he'd pair well with Roman...or maybe KO if there's a cash-in.
