Day one Del Rio hater here.
|
His announcer and entrance were more over than the wrassler
|
His vignettes with the cars and shit were awesome.
|
I’m intrigued by this TNA/NXT relationship. TNA playing the role of ECW getting propped up by the WWF. I guess it provides more opportunities for TNA talent and could lead to fresh angles for NXT. It could also strengthen a relationship between WWE and Anthem, so if/when AEW are out on their ass post-WBD deal, it even makes an AXS TV deal difficult.
|
Watch the WWE Biography on Macho Man Randy Savage makes me hate Bubba the Shit Sponge even more.
Fucking go away. I thought you and Hogan had a falling out after you leaked the tape of him fucking your wife. |
Oh, he’s still around being a total piece of shit, talking in wrestling lingo for no reason.
Bubba the Love Sponge, that is. The same could be said for Hulk Hogan. |
I’m just thinking about some Randy Savage dream matches right now.
Savage vs. Brock Lesnar would have been amazing. I could go me some Savage vs. Kurt Angle too. |

I’m intrigued by this NXT/TNA partnership. There are a lot of benefits. TNA’s are obvious. WWE gets to prove they can play nice, have a place to send talent to freshen them up, access to reserve talent and can put pressure on AEW and other self-professed “challenger brands” trying to blow up the system.
I wouldn’t be shocked to see WWE make a play at the New Japan deal in a similar arrangement. It’s also a “hot” angle for NXT and allows them to build an arc to pay off either right around or even past the CW Network debut. It also probably pleases the parent company since Endeavor has some sort of relationship with TNA (as weird as that sounds). |

I hope when Rhea Ripley gets back they do a Rhea vs Liv "Custody of Dominik" match
|
I get the joke, but Rhea should just kill them both. I just hope they don’t Vince/Bret or Cole/Lawler it and have it go on too long with unnecessary heat.
|
I’m kind of looking forward to NXT Battleground. I don’t watch NXT very often. There are times it feels like a pretty kinetic and clever show, but other times it feels so cheesy because of the insane gimmicks. I’m going to check out this show though.
Oba Femi is a beast. Jaida Parker is a star. I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with TNA. I’m hoping for Gail Kim to help Jordynne Grace win and cut promos about how she was all set to lead a revolution in WWE but came against brick wall after brick wall. |
Gail Kim should have a cape if she comes back too.

some shane mcmahon punches. the best in the game
|
Brock hated the idea of working with Shane so much he decided to instead book himself to be squashed by Goldberg instead.
|
I’ll take Shane McMahon punches over New Japan forearms to the neck.
|
Dijak has revealed himself to be the new Ryback.
|
Money in the Bank was pretty boring. I kinda hate Punk attacking Drew. I’m no fan of the MITB concept, but this was just too labored. Punk should have cost Drew in the Ladder Match, then a face should have won. I’d have gone with LA Knight. You’ve got a long time to do something with that. I’d consider removing the 1 yr stip on the contracts too
Tiffany winning was cool. I really liked the Chelsea Green finish. Green shouldn’t be one of the best things in the company. But she is entertaining. Jacob Fatu didn’t really impress me tbh. It was his debut match and that was a pretty big deal. I wouldn’t say he shat the bed or anything, but it was just…there. I think the finish was what it needed to be. Sami and Bron was goodish. There was a bit of sloppy stuff, but they got it together and it was perfectly fine. Got no problem with Sami retaining in Canada. I imagine we’re going to get a doubled-down heel Bron coming out of this. The World Title match was pretty awful. Just spot after spot. Can Seth take more time off pls? Damian too. There were a lot of better ways to go about setting up a three-way, which they don’t need to be doing anyway. It feels like everyone is a heel in this program. Then you throw in Gunther. Perfectly missable. You can just read the results and go on your merry way. They got too cute with some stuff. The pacing of the show is off too. That is probably unavoidable with all their sponsorship shit, but the 5 match thing worked on Takeovers and maybe SOME main roster PPVs. But when everything is just so drawn out it kills the flow and momentum of things. |
I gotta say, WTF was the brain-dead ending of NXT Heatwave? Absolutely asinine booking, taking the NXT Championship off Trick Williams for no reason.
|
I haven’t watched the show yet, but that is genuinely surprising. I might have to check it out now. Here are some possibilities:
1) They want drama and a bit of surprise for upcoming shows. It sells the four-way concept as something more chaotic if it actually does lead to change sometimes. 2) Trick needs time off for something. 3) He’s going to get the main roster call sometime soon. Keep the machine churning. |
Main roster needs a little cleaning before its worth it for anyone being called up
|
Just watched Heatwave. Liked it better than MITB to be honest. Liked the finish to the main event. Leads to plenty of things.
|
Oba Femi is so fucking good.
|
Don’t think they’re calling up Trick after watching it. Probably just a wrinkle in the story.
|
|
One thing that needs to stop: Assigning participants in multi-man matches equal percentages of winning. You do not have a 25% chance of winning a four-way match. Zach Gowen did not have a 50% chance of beating Brock Lesnar.

Clarification, please. |
Did he read The Secret?
|
He’s a few years (months?) away from cutting promos on crying babies and single mothers for attention on social media. I’m making that sound cooler than it actually is.

I watched all three WWE shows this week. First time in forever that’s happened, I think. Raw was good, but long. NXT actually wasn’t too bad. There’s stuff I really wish they’d get rid of. Some of the gimmicks there are atrocious. SmackDown was a damn great show. I can only nitpick certain things.
Jacob Fatu is just amazing. And I can’t believe I’m now a mark for Baron Corbin lol. |
I had to tap on Raw during the Priest/Gunther segment. The dynamic they’re going for is so forced. Don’t buy into “Champion of the Street People” Damian Priest vs. “You Choose to be Homeless” Gunther at all.
|
I’m not that excited for SummerSlam. Not that the build to the show has been bad or anything — I’m just not feeling it. Maybe the show itself with stir something out of me?
|
No BIG DOG Ramon Reigns
Card feels lackluster.... lacks star power.... |
I’ve gotten myself a bit more excited after SmackDown.
Logan Paul vs. LA Knight is a bit like watching Stunning Steve feud with Stone Cold. I get a kick out of both guys. I think we’ll get a few surprises. |
People still doubt the man, but Solo Sikoa is fantastic at what he does. He’s great at ringside for The Bloodline’s tags too. Way underrated.
|
Jacob Henry has signed with WWE. Mark Henry mentioning him in that retirement promo was a long time ago now.
