Paige suspended as well.
Bit of a shame Gallagher lost in the CWC, I'd love WWE to sign him for the Cruiserweight division. His match was really good though, as was the Kendrick/Nese main event.
I wasn't massively into this during the first round but it's warming up nicely. Not sure how much of that is just that as we go along and the crowds are seeing the guys after the first time they're warming up to it too.

Her most elaborate match evasion tactic so far.
I do wonder what the hell is going on, though. Paige must've had one hell of a birthday party.
I did wonder if that was just a match evasion tactic...
"Eva Maria can not compete tonight because she's smacked off her tits."
I was starting to like Eva Marie, or at least the fact they capitalised on how everyone hates that she has a job there.
I could see Paige quitting with Del Rio before coming back later, like a female Jerry Lawler.
Driving up to New York in the morning for NXT Brooklyn. Then straight back on the sunday in time for Summerslam. Fair play to WWE on this one, the card looks pretty good so stupidly I'm expecting a decent show.
The Dudley Boyz vs Neville and Sami Zayn, as well as Breezeango/The Ascension/The Vaudevillans vs The Usos/The Hype Bros/American Alpha have been added to the Summerlam Preshow.
Have a good time, Thomas.
Draft Zayn and Owens. Utterly waste them in one of the big PPVs of the year. Good work all round.
EDIT: Another year 2000 RAW on the go. Shane McMahon is talking about how he admires everything about Chris Benoit....
Also have the Network dubbed over American Badass by Kid Rock with his You're Gonna Pay music? I was sure I was losing the plot but they've definitely cut out his American Badass music. For expletives and such, I suppose.
License probably expired.
That makes more sense.
Foley was such good fun as commissioner. It was almost like he was going out there to enjoy himself or something.
Brooklyn is the biggest shithole I've ever seen but I got here. Renee and the pre show are directly behind me. If only I had a TTH sign.
How's the event going at the moment 7om?
Actually really good.
Got a horrible feeling Joe busted his jaw right at the end. After the bell a load of referees and medics ran down to the ring sharpish.
Don't know how I just walked through Brooklyn at 11pm at night and didn't get killed. It's a genuine ghetto.
If he lost (which he has), I was expecting him to show up tonight as a way of keeping the belt off Papa Shango for a few more months. So that's out.
The only good thing about Brother Nero is his entrance music. You ruined it, Jeff.
*Pap O'Shango
Super excited for tonight. I hope it's not shit. I watched last year's in a wrestling bar in New York and it was amazing. I've even got the wife staying up late to watch it with me.
It's like looking in the mirror three years ago with SvN's posts.
I was considering staying up late given my holiday starts tomorrow but then it occurred to me that'd mean staying up 'til five. Fuck that. What time does the pre-show start?
11-11:30.
12am special start apparently.
Maybe a useless double post but rumors are flying that Bill Goldberg has signed for the E and may make an appearance tonight
I saw Goldberg had been saying something about Lesnar in a press-conference which would be a waste of time if something wasn't up.
Presumably to sub for Eva Marie.Maybe a useless double post but rumors are flying that Bill Goldberg has signed for the E and may make an appearance tonight
They say that about every third PPV at the moment. If he's there he'll probably just promote the video game and fuck off. But I doubt he's there.
Edit- And there it is....
As previously reported, Bill Goldberg is in New York City promoting WWE 2K17. Goldberg noted that he won't be wrestling anytime soon, as he underwent double knee surgery six weeks ago.
Well that's a relief.
Man, not the knees. That's where all his talent is.
What an absolute abomination of a PPV, and that's all I've got to say about that.
Oh yeah. That was a rubbish pay per view.
I liked Jon Stewart escaping the ring before remembering he had to get back into the ring to set up the Big E run-in. Is he really small or is Stephanie a giant?
Yeah that was pretty shit. AJ v Cena was incredible. The Universal belt looks horrible.
I'm glad Miz won, they seem to have thrown Crews in there and crossed their fingers something would happen. He's like a scale model of Bobby Lashley.
Nikki Bella though.
Looks like her shorts shrank in the wash.
Yeah that was pretty pants. Cena/Styles was good and plenty of the other matches were okay but bugger all else actually stood out. Not sure what the purpose of the US title stuff is supposed to be and I don't think much of putting that awful belt on Balor right off the bat though I suppose it at least shows the WWE aren't quite so obsessed with pretending all non-WWE wrestling is second-rate. Either that or they just love a flavour of the month. Still not getting the Balor/love.
It effectively serves to put NXT on the same level as the main roster if somebody can come straight from there and challenge for titles (whichever title). In which case, what is the point of NXT?
Yep that was shit all the way through really. To the point where I actually wanted Goldberg to spear the shit out of Brock, despite knowing it wouldn't happen.
When there was 35 minutes to go for 2 matches I knew some absolute shite was going to go down. When Rusev/Reigns didn't happen I was hopeful that Lesnar/Orton might be alright after all. It wasn't.
Once again KO was the highlight for me, but given it feels like that tag match was about 6 weeks ago I've pretty much forgotten that among all the shit.
AJ/Cena was alright but nothing special. I didn't care for either World Title match, though the "tuning up the band" spot with Ambrose was great. The women's title match was fucking shit. Get Bayley in to carry them already.
Not sure what your issue with the women's title match was. I thought it was pretty good.
I was pretty bored for both title matches, but I was fucking knackered by then.
I just had no reason to care for it. Sasha and Charlotte have no characters really other than "I'm a boss" and "I'm Flair's daughter", we've seen the match many times before, there was nothing new there, and hot shotting the title back to Charlotte makes no sense really. It wasn't the worst match ever, but there was no reason to be invested in it. The "Divas (I mean Women) Revolution" is so stale by now. Putting it so early in the night was a laugh too. Should have swapped it with Nikki's match.
The main problem with the Women's title match was that it was littered with mistakes and botches. Sasha in particular is probably going to cripple herself one day with some of the risks she takes.
The biggest head-scratcher for me is why Brock - Orton went on last. I initially assumed it was because something was going to go down big time but a TKO ending? Fuck off with that absolute shite. I like Brock a lot, but this Suplex City gimmick is reducing his matches down to about three moves and loads of standing around sweating. It's crap and boring.
I also didn't get why they allowed Orton to bleed so much just for that shit ending.
I assumed it was a botch/improvised ending, seeing as he can't have meant to bust his head open and knock him silly with elbows.
Meltzer reckons the ending went as planned, Brock just overdid it a bit which led to more blood than expected.
Baroque is basically a match gimmick in his own right now and it's boring.
I hope they're not leading to Shane challenging him, although he did batter Orton that time without touching him so maybe he's the man.
You'd think if that is a thing that this time it will actually be to bring somebody in/back to face him.
The dream is either Kur Tangle or that being how Slater gets his contract.
The moment Angle's music hits will probably be the most mental I'll ever go watching wrestling. I hope it's not spoiled in advance.
Of course it will be spoiled, if not revealed ahead of time to sell tickets then the twats in the crowd chanting his name will do it.
When was the last time we had a genuinely surprising return from someone not already employed by WWE?
