Taker was knackered too, his chokes lams and tombstone were a mess.

In fairness, the chokeslam is mostly on Goldberg. The person taking it has to jump.
They were both a state.
WWE shouldn't be booking the old fuckers against each other.
Yep, if they insist on wheeling them out, they should be against younger wrestlers that can carry them.
The writing was on the wall when his big boot against Cena was closer to hitting me.
goldberg didn't hold on till the tombstone was done, that's all on him
I initially blamed it on Taker, but Melzter said the same as you - and having re-watched it, you can see he lets go and slides down. You can hardly blame him though, he was absolutely fucked. Have you seen that video of him unable to stand after the match? I'm amazed he even finished the match.
Shit happens, they probably should have ended the match quickly after he was knocked out but there's only so much you can do once Goldbog has brained himself half to death (again). However, booking Shane McMahon to beat one of your top stars, in 2019, is unforgivable booking. I see also that HHH v Orton went 25 minutes, I don't think you could pay me to sit through that.
But he's the best in the world.
If he's the best they've got then they really are fucked.
Re: Taker / Goldberg the correct answer is that the blame is on Vince putting two decrepit old cunts who need to give up together in the first place.
Could be worse.
Anyone got a link to some of these Undertaker/Goldberg spots? Unless the whole match was sub 10 mins?
I'm a twit
If you want entrances as well set a good hour aside.
Catch it on Botchamania next week.
hhh vs orton was somewhat decent, though corbin vs seth was probably the best match
That was horseshit.
Far too much shouty Corbin at ref made it feel like a proper house event match.
Thee were only two semi-decent matches for me. Usos/Revival and Andrade/Balor, however the problem was that we've seen those matches before done better.
GoldBERG went on twitter and apologised for being old, retired and botching all of his spots at Super Showdown apparently.
And everyone is calling Undertaker a nazi, although I'm not sure why.
It sounds like Smackdown was even worse than Raw this week, opening with 30 minutes of Shane-centric amazingness.
Fox must be counting down the days until they start reaping the rewards.
Let's bring ITK to this thread.
Wrestlevotes, who correctly predicted a lot of things at Saudi Money, have said that Shane is going to beat Kofi for the title...
What part of Best in the World are you all not getting by now?
Wait "The Best in the WORLD" is facing Kofi for the title?
I hope he wins.
I hope Shane becomes both WWE Champ and Universal Champ.
Shane O'Max.
I expect Shane to be squashing Brock clean by the end of the year.
It's almost as if they are trying to find new ways to piss off fans. Quite incredible, really.
When a rivalry grows as ferocious and hostile as the one between NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler and Io Shirai, there's only one solution for containing the fury: A Steel Cage Match.
On the heels of their classic battle at TakeOver: XXV, The Submission Magician and The Genius of the Sky will collide in an NXT Women's Title rematch inside a steel cage on the June 26 edition of NXT, streaming exclusively on the WWE Network.
I like the sound of that.
That should be good. I assume Io will be hurling herself off the top.
Shayna could probably do with losing the belt and moving up (with her shit mates) soon.
The shit mates need to stay as they're waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too green although that doesn't seem to matter.
Shayna could easily slot in as THE TOP woman though.
No, throw her mongo mates onto the main roster where I don't have to watch them being terrible.
Fair point.
The main roster also needs more women who can't wrestle or talk for shit.
G1 blocks announced at Kizuna Road this morning:
A Block
Lance Archer
EVIL
Bad Luck Fale
Kota Ibushi
KENTA
Kazuchika Okada
Will Ospreay
Zack Sabre Jr.
SANADA
Hiroshi Tanahashi
B Block
Jeff Cobb
Hirooki Goto
Tomohiro Ishii
Jon Moxley
Tetsuya Naito
Juice Robinson
Taichi
Shingo Takagi
Jay White
Toru Yano
Some tasty match ups in there (despite Battle Grandpa not being present), Mockerserley in the same block as Ishii/Goto/Naito/Shingo even Yano should be grand. A(ce) block should also be fun with Kenta involved (he called Hideo Itami 'rubbish' on their podcast this week), it can hardly be bad with Okada/Ibushi/Ospreay and ZSJ.
Cobb is pretty stiff as well. The only confusing entry is Lance Archer lol.
Edit: I wonder why Suzuki isnt in this years G1?
I'd totally missed the chat about the laughable state of WWE's Stomping Grounds ticket sales.
Oh dear.
In all of the years I've been semi-following WWE, I can't remember a PPV being less hyped than this one. Noone gives a shit.
Who'd have thought a PPV full of recent rematches booked around Shane McMahon could seem unappealing though?
Rick against Joe could be a banger though.
Hoping TBD puts on a good showing against Nese.
Well they'll only have about 5 minutes on the pre-show anyway.
I mentioned that to a mate and he responded with a video of Jim Cornette cutting a promo on Russo for about fifteen minutes.
Cornette on Russo is always good value.
He's a complete hack who spouts shite in an effort to remain relevant and presumably, solvent.
