The dude stops mid-stride and jumps in the air.

He gave away the work in the move for sure. I'd say that another more agile, talented worker could pull it off. I thought it was a cool idea. I'd like to see Braun pull that off with Kevin into the cage actually.

Would be a good way to put KO over in that match actually. The cage break spot. But that would be twice this year, and WWE is a Billion Dollar company, they should be able to do stronger cages than a chain link.

You dope. I said it was mis-timed, addressing your complaint. I just said the dude flying miles out of the ring looks cool.

Think they pulled the trigger on that one a little too quick. He had the great matches with Gargano but felt rushed to bring him to the brand.

Was gonna say something but was riding through the thread and was researching who Taeler Hendrix was and now I can't reemeber what I was going to say.

I wonder why Cesaro/Sheamus haven't been on SD either...

Maybe because Sheamy has spinal stenosis?

and the pace. @Innovator

I remember reading an article last week that they just don't have any plans for them at the moment so keeping them off air till they can get an angle for them.

*clapclap clap*

They did replace Naomi and *insert whatever Uso here* for that Universal Studios contest they were running.

I thought something was up there.

I have seen her in many-a-fetish custom vid and she makes me happy in the pantular region.

He didn't have the whole wheel in his hands.

When everyone says something is wonderful, it's human nature to see what all the fuss is about, I'm not just being a contrarian. I'm sure there are lot of worse people on the roster that fly under my radar because they fly under everyone else's.

Taeler Hendrix and Mandy Rose are both indeed hot.

Random thought: nWo B-team music was pretty sweet

That Tombstone sell was very erotic. I think Zack needs to cover his thighs.

Sabre needs to learn to sell but that tombstone was real good by his standards

That B-Team theme song doesn't get on at all with the picture they use in the video or their goofy persona. Sounds more like it should be Jeff Hardy's new theme.

That sell would be good for the final fall but you know it wasn't.

I haven't seen him work recently, but during the CWC his selling really bothered me. He would go bug-eyed and breathe really deeply and it was very awkward, haha.

For those interested, a new comic based on WWE's Attitude Era is arriving this August from WWE comics publisher BOOM! Studios.

I'm not a fan of Sabre at all, he's like watching a hard mode sim on a THQ wrestling game, but seeing this match with Little Kazu live was incredible. Him facing anyone other than Okada probably wouldn't have even liked it. Not even mad at the finish. Okada is :heart:

Pounced to fuck :eek:

Today's the 20th anniversary of Goldberg beating Hogan for the WCW title on Nitro.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gTDjV5WVCwY" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

That comic is probably going to make slightly more sense than WWE's current booking.

At this point, and I'm being serious, I'd rather Goldberg come back to win the Universal Title off Brock if Brock is leaving. He can then cut a promo about how all the people watching wrestling are dorks and of course they hate part-time mega-stars like him, because they can't relate to true men.

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre can be his allies. Have them feud with The Shield, and have either Seth Rollins challenge him at WrestleMania or have Daniel Bryan win the Royal Rumble and go after him.

You want Goldberg to be heel?

Some new T-Shirts.

This is such a fanboy statement I can't even deal with it lol. Who cares

except one says Ronda and the other says Roddy's.

Think about it like this. A lot of people watching won't know who Piper is because they aren't marks like us. And... they may end up doing research, FIND OUT who Piper is and learn more about wrestling by virtue of the merch.

It's a tribute to Roddy, take it for what it is. Maybe when she's around for longer it'll be less derivative.

:(:'(

I'd assume its just the commemorative shirts for the upcoming Madison Square Garden show that WWE felt like selling early online.

Over other options in 2018? Sure. He'll probably get cheered anyway/

This seems a strong indicator that The Undertaker will indeed be involved in SummerSlam. Reports were saying that he was approached about doing something. I doubt they'd sell a Taker shirt if he wasn't going to be there.

The Team Hell No shirts look very rushed. The second is ugly. Not sure how I feel about Kane being presented as a teddy bear. I guess it doesn't matter in 2018, does it? Don't hate the Dillinger or Rousey shirts, although the only one I "like" is the Asuka shirt.

Yeah, there was something about that, but it's just a way to "cute up" the team. I get it. I just don't know what's happened to wrestling. Team Hell No is the best use for Kane though. At this point, presenting him as a lovable babyface is more viable than presenting him as a scary monster after decades of never really getting it done.

If he's going to get cheered put him against heels. I don't think Goldberg works as a heel honestly.

Kane is the go to guy when they want to kill off someone with heat.

Not during his initial stint. In a world where the only fans are geeks who are cranky because he "can't work" he can do whatever the fuck he wants.

I wonder if the partnering with Kane is there partially to try and guilt him into staying. I wonder if Kane has been charged with whispering into his ear, and if they are given the belts so it looks like Bryan is walking out on something when he leaves.

Lesnar def going back. DC just called him into the octagon and they started pushing each other around real hard and Brock grabbed a mic and said "DC I'm coming for you motherf****r."

So UFC does angles now?

pretty much. Surprised Heyman didn't come out and cut a promo.

Whenever this fight is set for they should get Heyman to come take the mic off Bruce Buffer and introduce Lesnar.

Also can see the Tye Dillinger tee shirt being in the sale section sooner rather than later.

Buy one get TEN free.

Dillinger wore a shirt on an NXT episode that said "I AM A 10" on the front and "YOU ARE NOT" on the back.

Or maybe it was all on the front. Either way I remember that it looked better than either of his official shirts and I'm bummed they never sold it.

and I'm sure he can announce him as the reigning defending undisputed champion of the world for Raw while he is doing that as well.

Fandango out for 6 months

I’d say they can now attempt a Tyler Breeze solo push but he’ll almost certainly be kept off TV.

He needs to come back as a badass submission machine.

They should send Breeze back to NXT until Fandango is back , instead of jobbing him on Main Event for 6 months.

Rumored card going around online for SummerSlam in regards to the big matches.

http://www.ringsidenews.com/2018/07/...rs-summerslam/

that is one pilled out motherfucker.

who is sorely lacking a smile

I think he is quite charming.

that's 1997 HBK, which is like... not a healthy dude. He is probably pretty much half dead in that gif.

6 months of backstage skits where Breeze tries to find out who murdered his partner, whilst Fandango desperately tries to point out that he isn't dead.

"Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu STOP!!! My penis can only get *so* erect!"

Ironically, you picked the one picture where she looks like WWE is going to kayfabe her and Bayley as sisters.

Lol go listen to him on commentary for the Brawl for All's. Slurping his words like a drunk.

I think he did. Also, I vaguely think he gave Kane a teddy bear once when they were doing the whole "Kane reluctantly loves me" thing.

Yeah :(

Rich Swann has a very stupid haircut.

Yeah it's pretty bad.

They did really well and got really close quite a few times in his first 5 or so years in the role, only to shit the bed and fuck it up. :(

He looks like a Klingon or Predator.

Supposedly its meant to be in tribute to Minoru Suzuki but because he half-assed it, just looks terrible instead.

For some reference, this is Minoru Suzuki's hair style. He changes the design every so often. Used to have mini mohawk in the back but cut it off after Wrestle Kingdom 12.

I'd like to see Suzuki vs. Swann, but not for the usual reasons you want to see a wrestling match.

Some AAA news:

Styles/Joe and Bryan/Miz pique my interest

The rest offers zero interest to me whatsoever

Bryan vs Miz has to happen there. It's been built too much over the past couple years to be a throwaway match at a B-PPV and if they try to hold off til WrestleMania they'll just have them face in a bunch of tag matches between now and then and ruin it.

Also, I'm down for Cena vs Taker just because Cena looking like such a bitch at WrestleMania was retarded and it would be nice to see him get his win back. I know people are gonna say "He's Cena. He doesn't need to win. Ever." But let the guy actually not look like a putz once in a while. Not everything's about who does/doesn't needs a rub.

Especially considering Rusev stood tall and actually put up a halfway decent fight against Taker like a month after Cena shit his pants in the guys' presence and then was promptly squashed.

This plus there's still a growing thought that Bryan will leave in September, so this could be their last chance to pull the trigger.

I think Team Hell No are getting the belts at Extreme Rules. They've got so much merchandise out and Kane is not distancing himself from wrestling while he runs. I can see Team Hell No against The Miz & Shinsuke Nakamura at SummerSlam. A way to get Bryan interacting with The Miz and Nakamura before he possibly leaves. Miz and Shin would be a good "entertainer/wrestler" team. Plus, if Nakamura fails to win the US Title from Jeff Hardy (which I'm for, because I hate it when wrestlers win belts as consolation prizes -- it makes the belts look like that), then in WWE logic, it makes sense for him to try and go after another belt, because the story can be "Nakamura moves from division-to-division."

Meltz let it slip during one of his radio shows that Taker vs. Braun was on the cards?

According to r/SquaredCircle, Alexa Bliss is already ranked 9th all-time in combined days as a Women's champ and she's only been on the main roster for slightly under 2 years.

If she keeps up her current pace, she is going to pass Trish Stratus for #2 all-time two years from now. Only other current women's wrestler in the Top 10 is Charlotte and her recent title reign pushed her to #3 all-time.

thanks for using the proper term "piqued." It annoys me when i see people say it "peaks" my interest.

Should have kept that quiet. Now, it's prob'ly going to get as bad as that whole "yr" thing.
