Damn :(

I marked. One of my favorite movies ever.

Like one out of every five Barber Shop Window's shirt are just plain awful. This is worse than the Ghost Ryder one.

Meh. I don't really see anything WRONG with it.

lol why didn't he just break up the pin normally?

Because he wanted to show the unwashed masses there are other ways to break up pins than the usual way done by ignoramus wrestlers.

During that pinfall attempt, Cole said (I am paraphrasing) "Sandow sacrificing his body..."

Next episode might be a "Best Of" episode based on what he tweeted after.

Kane has a Twitter now, and I'm not okay with that. It doesn't fit his character, that's equivalent to Undertaker having one. It's just not right.

With his current character I don't see the issue with it. And his only tweet is I'm the tag team champions when I checked yesterday, so yeah.

Undertaker is not currently a comedy character.

oh my god maryse

Per the Wrestling Observer RAW scored a 2.48 rating.

With the Presidential debate, MNF and the start of the World Series hunt this can't be much of a surprise.

I guess it's my opinion of not having him as a comedy character getting in the way.

WWE has failed so miserably at keeping monster characters interesting for a really long time. This is probably best for Kane. It's a role he's never really gotten the opportunity to play and he's showing that he's quite good at it.

This was an unusually entertaining match

<iframe width="853" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3keykHR6JWw?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I need to make more of a point to watch SMS. That was awesome.

The other matches I've seen from it have been pretty unique and fun as well.

It was unique but a good match is not what I'd call it. The one vs dolph ...ya that's a good match.

Sure it was good. Why does "good" have to = technically sound? It was more entertaining that nearly every generic, by the book, same old same old match on WWE TV nowadays. I find myself zoning out during most matches on WWE TV. Even the "technically good" ones because they're formulaic and they don't serve any purpose in the big picture. This didn't serve much of a purpose outside showcasing the Bryan/Kane relationship while giving Bryan kind of an easy win to make him look good but it wasn't formulaic.

That was a fun little match actually. The curling up in a ball thing was really good. Santino is probably the worst commentator I've ever heard though, does he do SMS every week?

People close to Ric Flair are saying that he will be returning to WWE at the October 29th RAW from Charlotte, North Carolina. The belief is that he will be getting involved in the storyline with AJ Lee, Vickie Guerrero and John Cena.

We've noted before that there have been rumblings of Flair returning but the lawsuit from TNA was preventing that. Flair has canceled at least one upcoming independent wrestling appearance that was booked in North Carolina.

Main Event is pretty great

I honestly enjoy Main Event more than Raw right now. The stories are always really focused, since they're really only telling one per week, and the main event match itself is usually really good.

That Daniel Bryan airplane spin gives me nightmares about the time I was at a show and saw him get a pin in a cage match with Homicide via a 90 second Airplane Spin.

That's what the show ended on. I was not amused.

Like loopy said, as a wrestling show I think it's better than Raw. There's an order to it that is just amazing for today's WWE. Makes everything seem so major and the "main event first, secondary match second" and setting up next week's main event aspects make it seem old school. If they could give a good format and order to Raw and Smackdown like this, people would actually be getting over.

And SMS oddly enough ends up supplying some fun matches via the whole "we gotta work this match kid friendly" thing. Kofi and Heath Slater put on an oddly good match on the first episode as well. It's like the inability to use certain moves forced an interesting pace to the match. It's tough to explain.

It does come off as a very old school WWF style. They should take note and work some matches like that into the main shows to break up the monotony of the usual matches we see on Raw and Smackdown.

Apparently it's going to be Night of Champions at Hell in a Cell with all the belts being defended.

I've always thought that all the belts should be defended at every PPV

What Juan said.

I am also glad that only the WWE Championship match will be contested under the Hell in a Cell structure. But at the same time, it doesn't deserve to be a "Hell in a Cell" match.

The rivalry between Sheamus and Big Show has had a decent buildup (with the exception of the debate) for about 6 weeks now. If a match deserves to be a "Hell in a Cell" match it is the World Heavyweight Championship match. But it's probably going to open the show or something.

The only match that deserved to be in the cell was Punk/Cena, and it was perfectly set up for that before Cena had surgery. So they're going with what they have.

That doesn't seem reasonable at all.

Didn't they do that every time the brands would co-host a ppv and shortly after getting rid of brand specific ppvs?

I think they dropped that after realizing they had way too many titles and barely any ppv time for non-title feuds.

Survivor Series double main-event revealed?

Ric Flair is reportedly coming back next week

It's weird because they now have the same amount of titles today as they did during the Attitude Era, and back then, they'd have PPV's where all the titles were defended, and there'd still be plenty of time for non-title matches. They just can't seem to do that nowadays.

Hopefully plans change on this

I miss The Boogeyman. They fucking wasted that gimmick.

Punk should win HIAC via Chloroform

Couldn't agree more.

I'm going to miss Edge...

Damn that's fact #1?

Johnny Saint Special FTW!

PPV matches are generally much longer than they were back then. The Attitude Era had few "technical masterpieces" on the undercard from 1998-1999 like they have had since 2002 and back in the "glory days" of the IC Title.

Not to mention they need room for 2 or 3 impromptu, meaningless filler matches with no build whatsoever to fill out PPVs without actually having to put in the work of building more than a couple feuds.

Put a mustache on this man and he would be the evil twin brother of Alberto del rio

He drinks 8 glass of chloroform a day instead of water.

And how would they market Night Of Champions!? Think man, think!!

Champion Vs. Champion matches. Just tweak the idea of what NOC is about.

It sucks that they are giving away WWE Champion versus World Champion on free television with zero build up.

I don't know if I hate this more or the fact that Sheamus vs Punk in general was a match they could have hyped for a PPV down the road as new and fresh and they decided throwaway matches on free TV were more important. They need to think about these things. Can you imagine if Flair and Hogan were wrestling on WWE TV occasionally? Would have put a huge dent in the excitement of a WrestleMania match had it happened.

According to Colt Cabana's recent podcast, WWE 13 was never meant to have Punk on the cover. Instead the WWE wanted someone else while THQ had to fight a bit to keep him on the cover.

Punk seems to tease the WWE wanted Cena as the cover star.

http://tsmradio.com/coltcabana/2012/...18-mike-hughes

Sheamus could have been Cena's replacement for a Champion versus Champion "Hell in a Cell" match. They could have done a Ryback versus Big Show program for the pay-per-view so that they could build up a feud for Survivor Series.

Remember when Kurt Angle tried to rape Sharmell? Weird times.

Kurt watches you masturbate.

Yeah, but would it be title for title? I think you'd need a title on the line and I don't think you can really have one of them take both titles.

Did Taker ever use that red attire?

I don't think so. I don't remember Bret using neon green and pink either.

It should definitely be a non-title bout. The main purpose for the match should be bragging rights. Who is the best in the world? Is it the WWE Champion or the World Heavyweight Champion?

Man, Layla's taking this whole breast cancer thing REALLY seriously.

What's with Layla touching boobies of co-workers? Not that I disapprove.

"Hey, you know a good way to build up that new badass heel champion we're trying to turn into a star? Have him run away like a bitch at the first sign of danger asking where Cena is to help him."

I'm pretty sure there's a third gif of her feeling up some boobs I saw when that Beth one was first posted. Obviously can't wait to get to the back to have hot lesbian secks.

Makes sense :y:

Retrospectively angry they didn't do as they were told. Layla ran right over there to kiss a girl though.

Ryback has officially been "traded" from Smackdown to Raw.

Smackdown gets nothing in return. Booker T is not very good at his job apparently.
