It’s nuts how good Logan Paul is at wrestling.
He did wrestle throughout High School at a good level so it makes sense. He needs to be a heel though. No idea why they think him being a face is a good idea
Has 'Theory' ever had a good match?
Apparently he’s 0-8 since winning the MITB. He’s definitely cashing in and winning both titles after that quick job
lol at Rey.
I love how Pat wrestles as some sort of luchodar when he weighs about 240lbs. Some boi
Incredible how he managed to sort himself out after two near fuck ups.
Ropes seem a little loose and/or slick tonight as Rey also had a slip at the end of his match.
So Rollins isn’t even getting a match? Well that was a waste of time staying up
Liv's ring gear, phwoar.
A tractor.
Cowboy Brock
Such a great image
What a main event. Absolutely brilliant fun, easily the best Roman/Brock match.
Also, Michael Cole was brilliant tonight.
Great PPV.
Yeah he's decent but he's also young, and what he needs is lots of proper matches not getting the MITB jobber treatment.
Am I reading it right then that after being buried against Lashley he then came to cash in and instantly got lolled to bits by Lesnar? Great stuff, great way to build him as a potential threat you mugs.
The whole show sounds like a total waste of time so I doubt I'll bother watching any of it. If I get the itch for some wrestling I'll go watch that FTR / Briscoes match from the other night.
That FTR vs. Briscoes match isn’t as good as the first I don’t think (only watched it once) but the psychology is brilliant.
Agreed. I’ve not seen it but the praise I’ve seen it receive from some reeks of just wanting to believe Trips made a difference. In reality aside from Bayley and co I’m betting that’s the show Vince would have booked.
It was really good.
The only bad things were Ronda/Liv and Lashley/Theory. Everything else was really good.
I'd definitely watch the main event.
Edit: Mysterios/Bloodline was also crap and can be skipped.

I just don't really see what the point of any of it was. Feuds which have gone on too long, a load of entirely predictable results.
And it's literally Impossible for me to care a joy about anything Reigns and Lesnar do at this point. Even by WWE standards it's been done to death.
It was Flair's final match last night. I'm not surprised that he bladed but he also faked a heart attack.
Was half expecting to wake up to him being dead. Is that his third final ever match?
I was actually interested enough by reviews of this week's Raw to watch a bit and was pleasantly surprised. Actual focus on midcard / midcarders, there seeming to be a bit more joined-up thinking for their story progression and it just genuinely seeming like a proper cohesive show. It wasn't amazing and still has some of the same old flaws but there was good stuff.
Rollins / Ford was good. Rollins winning versus a guy who, per the narrative, is finding his feet as a singles guy but Ford still getting a good showing and not sure me dogshit ending is simple but effective stuff. The women's stuff with Bayley is a bit "just chuck them.all in there" but I like Bayley, Kai and Iyo (sigh) so hopefully some good comes of that.
And I liked all the US title stuff. In the absence of a World champion who bothers to do anything of note you should focus on your midcard title and having two (good) triple threats give us AJ vs Ciampa to then set up Ciampa vs. Bobbo next week is, again, nothing groundbreaking but the sort of basic, solid shit WWE simply didn't care enough to do previously.
As a counter, no idea what the fucking point of any of this Edge / Judgement Day stuff has been.
I did give it a try as well because Triple H actually booked coherently in NXT so I was hoping for more of the same. But fuck me, I just cannot deal with all those LED screens. I might have epilepsy now.
Oh I mean I'm still nowhere close to wanting to actually watch the full show even without ads. Kevin Dunn alone renders that very difficult. I just picked some bits out.
Is the camera all steady now?
The Bucks have turned babyface so they don’t have to put FTR over anytime soon. Sneaky cunts.
No no the problem is that Dunn isn't gone so every strike / bump is still met with another camera change.
When Dunn goes and Triple H kills Vince's shit pushes & rivalries
Bugger.
Also:
It Trips gives us back "Pete Dunne" AND has him face Tyler Bate for the UK title at Clash at the Castle I will explode.
He’s not called “Butch” now is he?
He is and they've made him a little annoying terrier type of prick who is a lackey of Sheamus.He’s not called “Butch” now is he?
A key member of the Kliqy Blinders.
I shouldn’t be surprised, there’s been a grand total of about 9 months (Smackdown Six

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Triple H getting ready to make a huge mistake.
That was inevitable I'd say. Could be worse though. He's not anything special but he's fine and wouldn't even be among the top 20 worst people Vince has got a bone on for.
He's just so dull.
And sure enough he's back.
I don't have much interest in seeing him in the world title scene but that (with the entrance back (not that we got all of it), with Scarlett, with him not being beaten in 3 by a middle aged alcoholhic) is how you debut somebody and make it seem like they might be a big deal.
That plus Ricochet being allowed to win a match(!) and Baszler winning a 22-minute gauntlet to become #1 contender, HHH is certainly making a bit of a mark on the short term booking even if he can't just overhaul some of the other stuff overnight.
Cesaro v Konosuke Takeshita - 12 stars
Hard to justify this when it contained a frog splash worse than snoop doggs.
I'm a twit
So presumably still 10x better than Tamina's.
T-Bar is apparently going to be "REPACKAGED".
Bring him back as Dominik Dijakovic, Trips
He's really good, just bring him back as anything but fucking T-Bar, which.....might be the worst WWE ever?
No, as I was typing that I remembered Slapjack. Fucking hell.
@Baz dunno if you've commented much on Big Fat Keith Lee yet in AEW but he has NXT matches on YouTube against Dijakovic which are an enormous amount of fun if you need an idea what he can do.
Their matches together were so fucking fun.
I didn't really get Dijakovic until they fought each other.
He's been dogshit in AEW and diminished to the secondary show within a week.
He missed slightly in a 25 minute banger.
Then Cocaine Tony doesn't know what he's doing* because Lee is fucking mega.
He's tagging with Swerve who is also great so lol if both are getting fucked.
* Or is just bloating his roster like a mong. Regardless, push Lee, he's brilliant.
