Roman showing Bootista how to properly do a spear.
The one I remember is "Eng-gur-lund! Eng-gur-lund! Eng-gur-lund!" which is ironically sung to the tune of Stars And Stripes Forever (the bit 1 minute in). It's a popular soccer chant for England's games. There might have been some light "wanker" chants too aimed at Rey. Also after the match Barrett got everyone to chant "Bad News" similar to the old "Ea-sy!" chants Big Daddy got back when he wrestled.
Did Rebecca Knox always have the green Irish/Celtic gimmick or is it just something the WWE gave her because they're lazy fucks?

Too advanced - I predict that the bulldog will be the 4th manoeuvre she adds to her war crate.

I think HHH and Bryan and then inevitable Orton/Bryan rematch will fill up the main event card for a couple of PPV's so they can start a slow burn buildup to a Bork/Bryan Summerslam showdown for the title. If Bork appears in any of the PPV's before Summerslam it will be squash matches to further build on Bork being completely unstoppable now that he ended the Streak.

Samoa Joe was rolling in his grave at what could have been.

SUCH A POLARIZING FIGURE, THAT CENA
He had his chance to join the E but instead he stayed with TNA. He made his bed.

Was was always billed from Dublin, Ireland, and had a Hip Hop Leprechaun phase (in Shimmer I think) in her past, so it is not just a WWE thing. She has a pretty strong accent, so it would be hard to avoid the irish thing though. It was never as forced as Sheamus is though - naming all the moves random Irish sounding things, ,and coming out to Irish music. Her entrance has been "U Can't Touch This" most of her career.
He had? Talk about bad decisions. Even if it hadn't worked with the E he could've always go back to TNA
I've been on GAF for over 10 years now. I feel like Undertaker.
Someone put me down.
You and me both brother...we came up thru the ranks, now we're the Bret Hart of GAF

The umaga gimmick was going to him.

Love him or hate him, John Cena is here for the WWE Universe, and you have to respect him

He was offered the Umaga gimmick, but he didn't want to take it. I think that was incredibly dumb. E money would probably have been better and if that gimmick failed he might have gotten something else down the line. TNA would have taken him back anyway. They court all the E dropouts.
It might have looked like tapping but she was just flapping around.

It definitely looked like she was tapping.
Not sure whats up with AJ's finisher where everybody looks like they're tapping even when they aren't supposed to. Maybe its legit painful. Or maybe they just want to slap it.

IIRC, Joe didn't want to do such a stereotypical Samoan gimmick, but then ended up wearing facepaint and stuff in TNA anyways.

Being Vince's hand picked rep for battle of the billionaires or kidnapped by ninjas.
Amazing career choice

She was wildly grabbing to try and reverse the move. It looked bad, but it was not tapping. I'd forgive anything that looked bad last night, as she probably had all the butterflies in the world last night, and they were not flying in formation,
Bring out the NXT diva who's over with smarks in front of a smark crowd?
AKA: What they should have done with Emma
That much was obvious. He wasn't even on her promo game either.
It was the right idea, just booked poorly.

I assume the smarks would like her to appear as she did on NXT instead of timid girl who's not good on the mic, gets beat up in the ring and kinda wins by accident before scurrying away
I mean, I don't watch NXT, I'm just going on what Ply tells me
She was trying to find AJ's leg to get out of the hold.

I think they tried to debut her as a tamer version of her usual character. She can choose to display more of her usual anger as she needs to - when a storylines dictates it. No need to go with "Angry Paige" out the door - no where to evolve from there. I think things went fine. Could it have been better, sure, but it was not a disaster.
Also, other than debuting her during the RAW taping on the UK tour, this was the best place to do it, as I don't think they could have waited much longer..

Really the whole handling of the divas segment last night could have gone a lot better, I see they were going for the cocky overconfident heel champ has their reign abruptly ended by a rookie angle and that fell flat with me.
But hey it's the Divas division, one small step at a time, no total divas was like a breakthrough.

Look at it this way, if it wasn't Paige it would have been Naomi or Nikki...

No idea who page is and don't watch nxt but tgat was the most entertained I've been by a diva segment in years. I actually cared. No idea what everyone is crying about.
I mean besides the mic work, I just found it odd they decided to limit the match down to two moves. The finisher was as others stated earlier weak as well.
It's because NXT actually has women's wrestling

Even though the way they handled Paige's debut was pretty rough, I am still happy that she is now on the main roster. Now they have another female wrestler who is actually capable of putting on some food matches rather then watching AJ go through the motions of AJ squashing the Total Divas for the 7 millionth time.

do they have any old RAWs/Smackdowns on WWE Network
I'm feeling like a mark after the last two nights and I think I might buy it, convince me not to pls

I did not mind that to be honest. They did the same quick finish thing for MitB cash-in's in the past, and it worked there. Also that was her usual finishing move she hit, so it made that look strong too.
As I said right idea with Paige getting the belt but just booked like shit. Should have let her act with a bit of confidence and got some actual offence off. I can understand them saving her amazing submission finisher for the PPV though.

Buy it. The Network is fantastic.

WWE Network is a bargain, you should buy it. No doubt. I am sorry
They probably kept the Paige/AJ match short because they new Paige was nervous as well. We'll (hopefully) get a full match either next week or at Extreme Rules. Still, calling up Paige to end AJ's title reign sends a big message to what WWE thinks of the rest of the diva's division right now.
