If it says WWE on it, Vince is having the final say.
I must say that Raw has definitely improved since pretty much when Heyman officially got his hands on it. Smackdown's about the same as it was but it was already better than Raw most weeks. I'd say currently they're pretty even.
I like that the 24/7 title has probably been suspended more than it’s been active at this point. Fuck sake.
It was also funny on Raw when they hadn't mentioned the Wild Card rule in ages that I recall and then chose to do so on an episode when about 7 'Smackdown' people were on it.
Shelton Benjamin to have his name changed to Shelty B apparently.
Shelty B and Shorty G fuck me.
Anything to prolong this hilarious 'Gable is short' angle they're running with.
Also lol at using barely 6 foot 'Primate' from NXT UK as Rowan's lookalike.
Yeah I've not seen that bit yet but it sounds pretty lol.
Could live with Bryan becoming a goofy heel. Heard his match with Murphy was good though, and surprising Murphy won (clean?)
Primate was on Raw? Amazing.
Smackdown as he was revealed as the Roman attacker.Quote:

That isn't Primate.
You're looking at Rowan.
The other one is Primate.

Nice to see scalpers get the shaft but a bit of a bugger if their first taping is half empty.
Becky and Seth are engaged, can't wait to have their relationship shoved further down our throats.
They were together? I wonder why they've not mentioned it.
You'll be telling me that the WWE Network is only £9.99 next.
Dea Nambrose has got MRSA in his elbow which has developed a bursa sac.
He's out of All Out.
And replaced by PAC, that might be better. :drool:
Oh shit, I hadn't seen that.
I've not seen him wrestle but I've seen bits (and I love the picture of him making a kid cry) and I am very excited.
I reckon it is fair to say the Will Ospreay is the best wrestler of 2019.
I can see him being a champ champ by the end of the year if they give him another Neverweight title match.
*Baron Corbin.
My fellow bald Baron Corbin
I'm sorry but there was clearly a tournament to decide the best in the world.
That is sooo 2018. King of the Ring is where it's at.
Awww, I forgot about the jet pack and the little hops he does to compensate. :D Vince, you eejit.
Ziggler and Roode? What?
This was the time to really send 'The Viking Raiders' to the moon.
Not even 'Stache Roode.
Fuck's sake.
No idea why it appeared in my suggested videos on Youtube but Bubba Ray Dudley power bombing May Young threw a table while the was wearing a neck brace has just made my day. It was fucking brilliant.

Can't watch that without remembering this now...Quote:

Just seen the Rey 'retirement'.
Dominic more wooden than a forest ffs.
I did like that the Csonka review is calling him WALTER Mysterio.
When's The Fiend fighting Taker?
Hopefully never.
The venue for HIAC has somewhat prematurely tweeted that the Fiend will be facing either Rollins or Boatman for the Universal at Hell in a Cell. That seems a bit soon. Not because I think striking while the iron's hot is a bad thing, more because I'd be surprised if they have him win the belt this early and he really shouldn't be losing any time soon.
Isn't Rollins and Boatman a solid tag team?
In as much as Vince threw them together on the fly because he likes both of them, yes.
If they have Rollins beat The Fiend the small piece of the internet that didn't hate him before, definitely will after.
Everyone was (is) SEETHING over Boatman's Universal title attempt which was shut down by Vince so I can only imagine what Vince is going to do with Taker 2.0.
He went to Vince with the idea of him winning a top rope battle royale to select a #1 contender. Said he should win by going outside the ring and lifting the thing up to tip everyone out of it.
That needed to happen.
How far away is it? They quite often advertise events with placeholder cards/main events which don't end up happening. This is WWE though so literally anything is possible.Quote:

I mean WWE normally wait until the natural hype about something has died and people are just annoyed before they pull the trigger on anything so it'd be very them to go right the other way and do this one far too fast.
Yeah that would have been class.Quote:

Even setting aside the affect that would have on trying to book the poor bastard after that.
It would have been silly and makes every subsequent match he's in complete nonsense.Quote:

The ending of his match with AJ on Raw is the sort thing anybody who's not also a monster or a super-worker should be resorting to to beat him. And even then it shouldn't be Baroque splatting him with a single F5.
I don't watch it but I assume not very.Quote:

Because most matches require a pin, not getting someone out of the ring.
This theoretical Superman wrassler would have as good as won as soon as he laid hands on you.
It wouldn't work as well for heel Bork but if he was a face again properly at some point like he was when he faced Rollins I think that'd be a good match structure for him against some flippy dickhead shithouse heel. Have the whole match built around the idea that if Brock gets hold of the little cretin that's as good as the match over so the whole thing is him getting by with cheap shots, hit and runs, etc.
Speaking of big bastards, there's nothing else on this weekend's UK Takeover card I'm interested in other than maybe Banks vs. Dar but I am all over Bate vs. WALTER.
Whether I read that bit or not, it's still a dumb idea.Quote:
