Broken Brilliance

I am long since over the broken gimmick.

Ronda Rousey was at tonight's AIW show.

Is Backlash only two hours long, or something?

There are only six scheduled matches. Summerslam had thirteen scheduled matches.

I'd be fine with the single brand shows being 2 hours.

Ambrose vs. Styles will go 20+. I also imagine that they are going to be trying different "brand specific" PPV fight feelings. I imagine Mauro Ranallo will do some sort of main event break-down (or possibly even one for every match) and they'll do some sort of promo videos for the title match at least.

The Women's Title will not be short. We won't see an elimination for at least 5 minutes in, most likely. If you pace it out 5 minutes a fall that whole thing could go 25 minutes. So let's throw away an hour for that and the WWE Title match.

The Tag Team Title thing is not going to be short either. Slater will be beaten up for about 15 minutes. The whole thing will probably go close to 20.

Miz vs. Ziggler will be about 15.

Orton vs. Wyatt will probably get a lot of time too.

There's probably going to be some backstage segments and angles.

Shane will want to do something on it.

They can easily fill up 2.5-3 hours with this.

That is what I have been thinking. I would like that tbh, most takeover shows are 2 hours and I liked when In Your House PPVs were only two hours.

I think they'll still have a pre-show match as well. I could see Baron Corbin vs someone random or Kane vs someone random getting that spot.

The original in your houses were only 2 hours long

I've also been questioning the not very packed card...there's not even a single pre-show match...will there BE a pre-show even?

If I had the Network and was considering watching, I don't think I'd like the thought of promos and backstage segments as filler if the show is scheduled for 3 hours. Maybe we'll get a surprise/impromptu match of some sort?

Honestly, it would have made SO much fucking sense that if they had done it when the iron was hot for it, he could be an over babyface by now

Yep, sure was. The week he came out and interrupted Vince and Austin was a reaction to being forced to apologize by the RAW GM for throwing soda on a family of Cena fans the week before, and big surprise, they were a black family...really think they were plants, TBH, just for it to happen for Vince's twisted, racist amusement backstage. Oh, and the video of Truth throwing the soda in those people's faces was as a reminder to Truth as to why he needed to apologize, and in response he "seceded" from WWE, LOL.

Honestly, It would be great if they werr just giving the current matches a lot of time, but they'll probably just fill it with pointless nonsense.

With the WWE doing a lot more ppvs now and Smackdown being a bit thin on both star power and roster size, probably would be the best for Smackdown ppvs to be 2 hours long.

Could take a page out of NXT and limit cards to 5-6 matches so matches get the time needed and no need to drag them to fill time nor have to add useless stuff to pad out the ppv. Also gives feuds not ppv worthy more time to reach it by the next Smackdown or joint ppv.

Won Pat Patterson's book todsy doing show trivia on the 605 Superpodcast today. Pretty excited.

What's KO's favorite soda's?


Sprite Owens Sprite
KOka KOla

He prefers to drink them at Night Owen's Night

Last ever RAW is WAR 15 years ago today for obvious reasons.

There's a pre-show scheduled and the show is planned to go 3 hours according to the Network schedule for today.

Seth Rollins was furiously masturbating whilst sexting a lady at that moment.

Or so he thinks. He actually got catfished by Jericho.

I'd be fine with Kane vs. Fandango at the PPV, just because Fandango is awesome.

God damn it, I just had one of those moments where I imagined a billionaire sinking some money into a true alternative to the WWE. Why do I tease myself so?

The Divas Match is Elimination. That will extend it.

Ah, crap. The title for the match didn't say anything about it being an elimination match, so I forgot to make it an elimination match in Tipsters.

Oh well.

They have to beat all the girls at once, you see.

Cien Almas rumored to want to leave the WWE according to a recent interview by Del Rio.

Good, he's shit.

How is he shit?

The WWE really does suck at presenting Hispanic stars. They don't really seem to get what made them big deals in lucha libre and just kind of throw them out there as soft flippy guys.
