If smackdown is generally cheaper then by all means. It should be cheaper.

I'd probably choose a house show over a SD! taping though if the option was available.

I've been to a RAW and SD! this year and the RAW tickets were just a 10 dollar price increase and I sat in similar spots.

Which show did you like better?

in terms of the flow, Smackdown, it was my first one ever and they don't have long breaks in between matches.


RAW obviously had the pressures of being live and all, plus I brought someone who was experiencing it for the first time and we managed to turn our whole section heel. Very fun.

Yeah, I hate the breaks too :/

I'm bored......random hot gif's of Maria Kanellis!

HADOKEN!

SO THE ICON SOUP is now working with TWA! This is huge...any other fans of this insane maniac here?

I dislike Crowe too.... he's too stocky to be a "high-flying cruiserweight," too small to be a "big man" and hasn't shown any technical prowess to be a "grappler"....

He would be great as a "Tazz" type of guy - suplexing the shit out of people. Kinda has the same build too.

That's a great idea, I could really see Icon Soup coming into TWA and just being the hardcore Taz kind of guy.
I don't really see him having the same build as Taz, but I guess he's kind of stocky too.

ICON Soup can definitely do hardcore like in this classic match...

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6fLkqf_AHx0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

I like Crowe's energy, but he hasn't made me a mark yet. I'll wait until he gets into a feud with someone though.

I'm not really excited for Rollins vs. Triple H, if that is their plan of action. I'd rather see Lesnar vs. Reigns vs. Rollins in a Triple Threat for the title at SummerSlam, with Ambrose vs. Triple H as a feature match. Throw in a final battle between Owens and Cena and you have a damn epic card taking shape.

Shelton is lucky along with whoever the other dude is.

Current card for the July 4 Japan Network show.

In terms of numbers, ROH dropped a bit while TNA improved by 45k compared to last week. No real pattern yet between the shows (ex. ROH helping TNA and vice versa, etc).

Some other sheet news includes:

• John Cena needs only to main event one more ppv to tie Triple H (65) for all-time and two more to break the record. http://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircl...ted_a_wwe_ppv/

Really want the "Four Horsewomen" thing to happen.

Rey should have laughed uncontrollably.

I hope Paige calls up Becky Lynch.... "Tehnically" I guess Charlotte and Sasha Banks "should" get to the main roster "first".... but I think Steampunk Becky and WWE Paige would make a good team together....

Also F them about Christian.... bring him back for ONE MORE MATCH.... give him a proper send off/retirement/3 year wwe world title reign.

Tazz struck me as a legit badass, Crowe not so much.....

Right, but he COULD BE that guy.

If he has a "mean streak" it could work, maybe.

Also if he changes pretty much everything about himself.

He is already on the verge of a "crazy" kinda gimmick. It would be quite simple to translate that into "mean streak". Add suplexes and maybe renew some crazy submission, like "The Brainclaw" or something, I dunno.

Scratch that, the claw wouldn't work for him. Would need to be a choke or something like that.

Somebody needs to use Rings of Saturn again.

That would work.

Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins HIAC was the first HIAC match to be between 2 contenders where one was not in a HIAC match prior (Aside from the first one) in WWE History.

Wonder if there has ever been a wrestler who was WWF/WWE champ that never main evented a PPV (after WWF started running monthly PPVs).
<iframe style="display: none;" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" id="rufous-sandbox" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Kane but only because he was champion for less than 24 hours

Does Vince Mcmahon count?

Kane and McMahon have both main scented several PPVs though.

False. But if not him, then who? Don't worry! I'm on the case!

"BUT WHO TOOK THE PICTURE OF JOHNNY CURTIS?" you might ask.

Don't worry, I've got that figured out too.

I thought the question was main evented a ppv as champion. Kane only won the WWF/E title once unless we're counting his run with the WHC.

Kane did main event at a Hell in a Cell against the Undertaker as World Heavyweight Champion.

Great Khali seems like he would be a terrible podcast guest.

According to one Billy Jack Haynes. Blackjack Mulligan is only living to see this lawsuit though......

For the record it is Billy Jerk Haynes.

This is going to be amazing.

Bret gets a 4/10 for his stance on Bryan.

His "stance"? Seems pretty clear cut from what he said. I don't see DB coming back. It's really unfortunate because he's a personal favourite that caught on with the mass audience against the odds. But he has to put his long term health first.

This, even if he did come back, there would be no investment in him anymore. He would be seen as too fragile. It's sad, but would have been even sadder had it happened before his big moment, he will have that forever now.

Surprised Vince hasn't fallen all over himself to sign Gunner. Has a good hoss look and a story the fans can get behind (former solider who got into wrestling.)

Wat

Had this exact conversation with a friend the other day; as sad as it that his career has been seemingly cut short, at least he had a run that 99% of wrestler don't even touch.

That's what Snookie used to pin Michelle McCool at WrestleMania.

John Cena sells it well.

Wait, so Christian can still technically wrestle? I'd be worried for his health too, but if the dude is cleared and wants to go, at least give him a proper send-off. He's been gone long enough that it could be refreshing. Imagine him hosting a Peep Show in the ring after "retiring," then he cracks a steel chair over some babyface's back. Even one more match against Randy Orton.

As for Bryan -- he does need to do what is best for him. Only he knows what that is. I was thinking the other day that Bryan coming back with a more mechanically-focused heel gimmick would be interesting. But does it need to happen?

Paige should probably give a call to Evil Emma, who still seems to be working face at main roster house shows. I feel bad for Emma, who should have been way more than what she is. Just re-focus her a little and point out that she had a friendly rivalry with Paige.

Think Emma was among the group of Divas that turned her down when Paige tried to rally the troops against the evil Bella empire or whatever she called it.

If you're going to do it. You should do it with Flair. Or like a Boss. Or like a Steam Punk Chick or like a Hugger.

Or all of these things.

Well, that's shitty. These women should be fighting for any opportunity to get their hands on the champ -- even if they hate Paige -- which it has been established Emma doesn't. Yet.

Nattie should offer and Paige should turn her down because it didn't work at the Royal Rumble. Nattie should then turn heel on Paige and align with the The Bellas. Paige and Emma then need to find a new partner to take them on. Perhaps this is where they give Becky Lynch a call. She would fit Paige and Emma's style. Layla and Summer Rae join up with Alicia Fox, because they feel like people have forgotten what they can be. Charlotte doesn't want to be overtaken, so she reluctantly joins up with Naomi and Tamina.

The Bellas & Natalya vs. Paige, Emma & Becky Lynch vs. The Slayers vs. Naomi, Tamina & Charlotte

A clusterfuck, but it gives the core female performers in the WWE something to do and focuses everyone into an angle.

I'm pretty excited for the Japan show.

* Lucha Dragons vs. Los Matadores is a feud that I've wanted to see for ages. Have The Dragons win the first match between the two, which Fernando y Diego laugh off. Then Sin Cara y Kalisto win the second match. Los Matadores then cheat to win the third, but don't go full heel yet. They sort of just shrug about it. Then they turn full-blown heel after the Dragons beat them again. This leads to a Mask vs. Mask Match which could actually make a PPV, if their work has been catching on.

* Jericho vs. Neville should be a lot of fun. I'd rather see Jericho vs. Cesaro, but Jericho is likely to make Neville look like a million bucks. It could be a good coming out party for NXT.

* John Cena & Dolph Ziggler vs. King Barrett & Kane seems random, but that's what I like about it. Cena & Ziggler will win, people will cheer, but it'll be fun to see what they put together.

* The Triple Threat for the Divas Title is a rehash, but I hope they get some time and get to tell a story. Hey, it might even be a good place for a title change. It seems that Paige is set for the long chase, but why not just have her pin Naomi and add a different dimension to things? It's not like people really care at the moment.

* I've got no clue why they are doing Brock Lesnar vs. Kofi Kingston, but it's certainly...interesting. I was actually thinking the other day that I can see them breaking up The New Day soon. They have been entertaining together, and it certainly got them all out of a rut (before putting them in there initially), but I think they might try and create three singles stars out of these guys soon. Kofi isn't going to win, although it would be hilarious if Seth Rollins cost him the match and then Kofi went around for the rest of the year, at least, talking about how he beat Brock Lesnar.

* Finn Balor's entrance will be epic. The match should be good, and I'm excited for the title change.

I want to see Cesaro be given something to do as a babyface. Now that he's a face in singles competition, he'd probably be allowed to do the swing again and get over. We still haven't seen everything this guy can do. I'd honestly like to see him start something with The Miz -- who could antagonize Cesaro based on his personality or something. Just a thought.

I was reading something early that says Dolph Ziggler might leave the WWE when his contract expires. Now there would be a hot free agent.

I have an odd interest in The Ascension vs. Harper/Rowan too. They shouldn't have a long match, but I'd like to see a slugfest between the two en route to The Wyatt Family capturing the Tag Team Titles. And yes, they should rejoin The Wyatt Family. Starting with the fall of Roman Reigns at Battleground.

Hypothetical question: If they did Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper & Erick Rowan vs. Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and a partner of their choice...who would you have them select as their partner? Who is Shield 2.0 (b) material?

Damien Sethdow

Ziggler in New Japan wouls be fucking incredible.

<font color=goldenrod>I was honestly fucking shocked to read that Ziggler turns 35 next month. I mean I know his days of being Kerwin White's caddy were 10 years ago now...but I still just assumed he'd be younger.</font>

Hard to believe that Kerwin White's caddy/random member of the Spirit Squad would be one of the WWE's biggest stars today...

BISCUITS AND GRAVAYYYYYYY....!!

He's just cultivating mass

I can't believe Kenny Dykstra lasted as long as he did post-Spirit Squad in WWE.

Why? He seemed to have the best shot of making it. Until he pissed off Super Cena that is.

If only... reports are he might be heading out.

I don't know about main event mainstay or anything but Ziggler should be a fucking star by now. Dominating the upper-midcard scene with memorable matches for years with a few main event feuds sprinkled in. Fucking WWE.

<font color=goldenrod>They also didn't do him any favors with his name. Dolph Ziggler was fine a first when it appeared he was only going to be a comedy character. But once they moved him to SmackDown in 2009 and had him drop the whole "introduce yourself to everybody" thing, he should have been rechristened with a new name.

Dolph Ziggler just isn't a name you'd put on the marquee to sell a WrestleMania to the casual viewer.</font>

Dolph should try to do something different with his hair

You're right. They should've renamed him Dolph Lundgren. ROCKY IV, BITCHES!

Should have renamed him Fang McFrost.

No i mean just in general, doesn't have to be WWE champion at the time of the main event.

Johnny Curtis, avenging the complete burial of face Fandango.

He did once before and ended up just being ridiculed for it until changing back. End up looking like a taller Evan Bourne with how it looked.

Looks better than looking like has a mop on his head

Dolph would be stupid to leave WWE.

According to the dirtsheets, WWE considering at least two options for Lesnar at Summerslam. Either Lesnar vs Rollins or Lesnar vs Owens.

If its Lesnar-Owens then its very likely Battleground's Lesnar-Rollins will be a toss away match meant to just boost the Network numbers since that's when the next report comes out.
