He was rubbish with his one-note promos and stupid hand stance.

Now we just need to lose Roman or Seth. Until that happens we're only ever 30 minutes away from them starting another feud or teaming up.
I never got Ambrose as I missed the SHIELD days.
I just knew him as a snarly mid-carder with a crap DDT.
I would be very happy with this.
Im not sure how Jericho v Okada plays out have you got any thoughts? @Disco
It would seem unlikely that they would put their title on Jericho but I thought that about the IC belt too. They could maybe use that to try and sell tickets for their US G1 shows but I assume that's what Nmoxley is for.
So my guess would be Okada winning, possibly a shady dq or interference if they don't want Jericho to eat the pin.
Heyman has been on Twitter to say Brock is cashing in on Mondays RAW.
Guess AEW hit them hard.
Rematch on Saudi money show then.
Featuring Baron Corbin.
It's as likely to be an attempt to get people to watch all three hours of Raw, I bet he does nothing of the sort.
I reckon he gets "stopped" on his way to the ring or we have one of those Ref is a retard moments where it takes way too long to explain the rules to him and Seth runs off.
Cashes in unsuccessfully but goes batshit mad (F5s everywhere) and Vince puts him into the GLORIOUS SAUDI MONEY match.
He has been saying he wants a WM match with Baroque and to retire him.
Watched that AEW event last night and really enjoyed it. The actual wrestling seemed to be of a far higher standard than any WWE I've seen recently, with the Rhodes brothers being probably the most I've enjoyed a match since I was properly into wrestling during the Attitude era. I'll definitely be watching more from them.
Viceland have released a series called 'The Wrestlers', which consists of some beardy musician going around the world to have a look at various independent wrestling scenes. The first episode was chiefly concerned with Evolve in the US and was very good, although their booking man who seemed to be the focus of the episode looked so much like a chubby Jools Holland that it was a constant distraction.
I'm still slowly going through the AEW PPV.
Watched Best Friends vs Angelico and small runt which was great, the female Japanese match (some good moments but largely duff) and the Rhodesathon which was quality.
Stunned by how much blood was pouring from Dustin.
Did you guys buy it or is it all up on Daily Motion or something?
Also forgot there was a takeover tonight. It not being ahead of a Big Four is really throwing me off.
Torrent.
Just finished the first match and I had forgotten just how good Roddy is as a singles competitor and he was a perfect opponent for Riddle.
That is some opener.
Strong vs. Riddle was a really good match and I like that Riddle doesn't seem to settle on any one way to finish a match, it lends an air of unpredictability. And Strong is really good. I think I actually prefer him in NXT to the PWG stuff I saw where against some of the more gimmicky shit he seemed quite vanilla in comparison. I expect by next Takeover he'll be taking on Dream so UE can have all the gold with UE to be taking it off the Street Profits before or at that show too.
The main event was good but needed about 400 less superkicks and at times they were being a bit too clever for their own good. Dream / Breeze was solid and Breeze changing up his act a little so that Dream and his flamboyance could take centre stage was good. Hopefully Breeze sticks around in NXT. The womens match was also solid and I thought built up nicely as it went along.
I really liked the tag match though, despite not having especially high hopes for it before hand. I didn't expect anything other than a UE win or for Forgotten Sons to retain, but what I really liked was how chaotic it seemed. But not in the way usually where you can see them checking off a list of spots they've agreed on, I thought it seemed really fluid and the use of the ladders was good. Couple of bits I wasn't sure if they were botches or what but there were quite a few nasty looking bumps in there.
Those bumps that Fish and O'Reilly (christ his back) took were pretty nasty.
Street Profits
I never thought they'd win the titles but they've stepped it up this year (I loved that tag match against the War/Viking Raiders/Experience where they tried to blitz them) and fully deserve them.
H has said that Breeze is back properly which is good. I felt that their match was a little off at times but that looked like it was simply to do with a lack of chemistry right now.
The only thing I didn't like about the women's match was the stupid pin Io did to seal Shayna's win. 'Let me just put my neck right here on a plate for you' but the chairsault was good and should lead to a hardcore match with them.
Main event was a bit superkick heavy and not quite as good as their 2/3 match but some spots were glorious (Panama Sunrise to the floor) and I liked the ruthlessness of Cole targetting Gargano's knee.
Also, hopefully Bobby's arm is ok and I've seen pictures of KOR's back which looks horrible.
Golf course.
Jinder with the shortest reign.
Eric Bugenhagen will now be known as Rik Bugez. That was the best thing about him.
I hope I can sneak away for the BOSJ tonight.
I have Moxley, Shingo and Jay White winning.
For a minute I thought you meant you were actively paying for three.
That line, fucking hell.
I assume the line he references that he did say is the "Roman is paying for his sins" one.
Catching up on RAW and I LOVE that we have Reigns as a permanent wildcard so we can get build up to his HOT FEUD with THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
This is what we need.
I'm not even skimming through them this week. 5 hours of programming and under an hour of wrestling?
You're alright.
And Jericho has already call that "leak" a lie.
Yowie Wowie.
I mean I'd have watched O'Shea vs. Cesaro were it being done for any particular reason.
I did like the clip I saw recently of Rhyno in ECW literally threatening to kill Sandman's family if he didn't give him a title shot at the end of whatever PPV it was.
What's the point of Finn going Demon in Saudi Arabia? Why is he doing it for two PPVs in a row for the Intercontinental championship? Why did he not do it when he was facing Baroque?
Oh and I what reception Goldberg will get being a mega Jew.
That alleged line was already refuted by Jericho as being total bollocks.
I thought he said that it was the line but that he didn't leak it.
Also, Jericho constantly spouts bullshit these days.
