Even though I like Cena, I'm really glad Nakamura is getting the title shot at Summerslam.

It's definitely played out but it's still fun (especially if no one else is doing it)
Bald HHH, Joe, Owens, and whoever just taking people out would be entertaining

Well I found out why the Curry I made was so spicy and was killing me. Re-reading the recipe.....it didn't say to use the entire packet of curry powder.
Curry Man approves of your hot and spicy lifestyle.

You're getting Naomi vs. Carmella and Charlotte vs. Lana.

So what?
That still doesn't make him anywhere near Naito, Tanahashi, Okada, Styles or even Omega, and his ceiling is far below those guys,
4 guys have been IWGP champion in the past 6 years... and you put Chad Gable up there? Come on.
You're talent evaluations make no sense for a guy who talks a huge game about NJPW.

That's basically how it's handled in NXT and, what do you know, it works great.

Gable absolutely has the potential to be one of the five or six best wrestlers in the world. He's got all the tools. He just needs experience and time to put stuff together. Even Meltzer said last week that he thinks Gable could be the best wrestler in the company in a few years, even considering the massive level of talent they have.
Steph living out her fetishes live on the air.
I find that trash disgusting. Like, who's entertained by that? And what kind of scumbags would even consider doing it, even "in storyline"? Clearly no one's going to object to the boss. So I guess they'll just get slapped around whether they like it or not. A decent human being would be mindful of this and never put their employees in that position.
So weird to me.

I don't see it. He's got the tools to be great sure... he might surpass current AJ but he's not going to be peak Tanahashi, peak Okada, peak Omega, peak Naito or peak AJ.
I'd buy potential IWGP IC championship level but not the belt

Heroman literally said future IWGP Champ.
Which is a direct comparison to Okada, Tanahashi, Naito, NJPW AJ Styles (only those 4 guys gave held the belt in the past 6 years) and guys like Kenny Omega.

I think the Steph beats up Tom Phillips segment was the stupidest segment of the last few years and that is saying a lot. Like it was just so unbelievably tone-deaf that Vince somehow felt like the audience needed to see Steph get over yet again.

While the Cruiserweight Six-Man Tag was the best match on Raw, Miz TV w/ Jason Jordan was overall the best segment of the night.
First, let's take a moment to acknowledge how good The Miz is as a promo. Effortlessly recapping the storyline in a clear concise way while also spewing hot lava about Kurt Angle, captivating the live audience so fully that even the thought of a "what" chant is the furthest thing from their mind. Dang.
Then you just amplify that by having Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel's goofy arses reacting and pulling faces after every line from The Miz. I legit laughed watching this segment live.
Jason Jordan holds his own. Cocky, self-assured smile that quickly turns deadly serious at the suggestion that he's receiving preferential treatment and the disparaging remarks about his father.
The Miz vs. Jason Jordan for the Intercontinental Title? I'm Hyped.

I love Jason Jordan and the push he is getting. Give him the title. Dood has it all. Just needs to improve on the mic and the rest is good to go.

Bryan Alvarez is blowing his load on twitter over "calling" the Bayley injury (which we have no clue whether that is legitimate or not outside of Dr. Chris "We've determined it's a shoulder injury" Amann's prepared statement on WWE.com).
Dude is a straight-up mark.

He has a good look but like you said he needs work on the mic and his in ring work is nothing more than being the hot tag. Seems like a good dude so I wish him all the best.
It bothers me everytime I se this that somebody who isn't trained to bump and get hit is the one getting hurt.
She fucking slapped his ear.

Actually I think he's extremely cynical and doesn't believe Bayley could sell that good lol.
He is gifted, but he is gifted in the same way that Swagger and many others were gifted and he has the weakness on the mic also.
If we had an era of factions where they brought back something like the Varsity Club he could have a chance.
Not a main eventer unless he goes away and learns elsewhere and comes back.

Non-Japanese dudes who have the potential to be IWGP champion? Omega and Riddle. That's it, I'd say.

After this spot he got up and did a triple moonsault off of a bike and the opponent kicked out at 1.

Probably annoyed her or didn't shake her hand earlier in the day. Then told creative to "write" that segment in.

NJPW ebbs and flows. There are definitely guys worse than those five that have held that belt before, and there will be again.
But yeah, no one is going to come out favorably in a comparison against them.

Sanada has really impressed me, dude's a great heel and has been consistently putting on great matches. It's a tall task to stand out during a G1 as stacked as this and he definitely has.
Okada is definitely having the best year of his career and is in the running for greatest in ring year for a wrestler. Current day Ric Flair.

I still say its a work. Bayley and the commentators sold various shoulder spots up until the end.

The commentators are going to comment on it because she was favouring it after taking a bump. It would be weird if they didn't mention it regardless of whether it was a work or not.
