I said to my rasslin' nerd friend that there has never been a well-worked ladies match involving more than three of them, and he said to watch Survivor Series 1987. Can anybody think of a more recent one?

To be honest, my lasting image of him wrestling is the headbutt ladder spot that did him in. Such a dumb thing to do and you can't really gimp that.
Had already forgotten that Big Cass was in the fatal fourway for the Universal title tonight.
Do we assume that Rollins gets the nod? No idea who he feuds if he does. Probably Reigns.
Cass will win it because Vince.
If it's up to Vince then the Great Khali will return as a surprise and it gets made into a 6-pack challenge (Khali counts as two because he's so great.)
I'm guessing Owens goes over tonight and eventually feuds with Jericho.
You'd think they'll milk the Enzo & Cass tag gimmick to death (hi there New Day) before giving Cass a push.
But the little fella has all the catchphrases, ergo he'll work with anyone.
But Cass is 7ft tall. That's enough.
To be fair you can't teach that.
How you doing?
I'll be shocked if it's not Rollins.
2hr 55 mins of shit but I popped for Haitch's appearance. Quality ending, that.
i liked Cass' appearance
ending was actually really good
intriguing show for once
Called it.
Owens was the only choice that made sense. Cass is too new and Rollins/Reigns would have been "same old shit", not that that's stopped them before, but you'd think they wont follow Balor with one of those two.
Mr Fuji nooooooooooooo
I'm wondering if this is going to be some kind of angle where HHH wants one of his NXT guys with the belt.
Awesome to see KO with the belt though.
Seth was in NXT too though, so I think it has to be more than that.
I wonder if he turned on Seth for injuring Balor, his biggest NXT star.
Seth's been porking Steph, obviously.
The angle will be that he thinks he should be General Manager, which probably sets Team Foley vs Team Triple Haitch up for Survivor Series.
Wait, is Seth Rollins face now and Kevin Owens is a heel champions?!
I'm wet
Straw Boatmans' trousers make it look like he's wet himself.
Team Foley: Seth Rollin[g]s, Terry Funk, Kevin Sullivan, and the Usos (with a 'Sorry I couldn't be there' note from The Rock)
Team Triple Haitch: Kevi Nowens, Kevin Nash, Road Dogg, X-Pac, and Henry Godwinn
Rollin[g]s to put in a 2003 Shawn Michaels performance, only to lose when Godwinn comes back out, Slop Drops the cunt, and pulls Nowens over for the pin.
Which Godwin turned into Mideon? Henry or Phineas?
The end of Raw must be a record for Trips, he's managed to devalue a champion before he's even got the belt.
In before another title merge...
Owens
Good match and Owens sold the Triple H turn beautifully. Rollins face. Fuck the fans and their "You deserve this!" shit. Stop being clever and just play along you fucking awful cunts.
Owens should have power bombed him. Did anyone else notice Trips now has a fat scalp, it was unnerving.
If you go back to Randy Orton cashing in on Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam 2013, Triple Haitch has not only been involved in the main event/title programme for basically all of those three years, but he has personally crowned three of the four heel champions (Seth Rollin[g]s being the exception, who he was affiliated with anyway). What a legend.
Having Mick Foley stood there watching as HHH physically booked the match in front of him must be WWE staying on top of cultural trends and going with a cuck gimmick.
Well, Mick's got bigger problems with his reality show. "Daughter, you can't go out looking like that." <not pictured, Mick's other three sons>
So apparently Del Rio handed in his notice the same time as he got suspended...amazing
Orton-Lesner II happening at a house show before the RAW PPV which really is lol.
So the wife has been nagging me for a while about going back to 90's to watch the WWF/WCW rivalry so we started tonight: Survivor Series 1997
That's ... not where it started.
At least go back and see the start of the NWO.
If it's WWF only then at least go back to before Razor & Diesel left. Watch the Razor/Michaels ladder match too because it's great.
1992 Royal Rumble, an hour of Flair and Heenan magic.
1992 Rumble was the first wrestling event I ever watched, and I don't think it's been topped.
If you want WCW finding it's feet with Ted's money, I'd suggest picking some trash like Halloween Havoc '95
For the wars, start from the first Nitro. Luger turns up in his frilly shirt. Then it's ...
- 18th December '95 Nitro: Alundra Blaze binning the WWF women's title.
- Memorial Day '96 Nitro: Scott Hall's double-denim showing up, followed by Nash a week later.
- Bash at the Beach '96: Hogan is the third man. Featuring GENUINE ANGER.
- October 21st 1996 Nitro: Sting's first terrible facepaint.
Then WWF ditch PG-13:
- November 4th 1996 Raw: Pillman's got a gun!
Then you can go to the screwjob and time-travelling Rick Rude. And 1997 is all about Sting.
That Reigns vs. Owens match is really going to get the crowd aligned how the WWE want, isn't it? I reckon Jericho costs Reigns and those two have a match at Clash of Champions. Though that may be way too obvious. It would make Owens look like a bit of a gimp though which is right up the WWE's alley when they want a heel champion.
That said I am enjoying this Jericho/Owens stuff more than I expected to.
Chris Jericho is the best thing in the company at the moment, the look on his face when put into a match with Rollings was priceless.
His disgust when Owens was speaking to Stephanie and Foley was ace too.
It's a bit shit that Cesaro's going to start his comeback in a house show, mind.
Interested to see what Raw does with the cruiserweights in a couple of weeks. Jack Gallagher being confirmed was the best part of yesterday's show.
Loved him in the Cruiserweight Classic so I'm pleased they've got him in.
Does make we wonder what the point of the CWC is now seeing as most of them are seemingly on their way to Raw, it certainly shits on things like Brian Kendricks reaction to losing if people already out are getting called up.
