Nothing to add other than this awesome Cesaro/Zayn spot from Extreme Rules Fatal Four-Way aka the 2nd best match of the year behind Nakamura/Zayn.

I'd put it #3 behind Ciampa vs Gargano in the CWC which is a close #2 with Nakamura vs Zayn for me.

Guys I have a question.

I am attending SmackDown next week, but I realized that WWE is also doing a fucking Australian tour at the same time. This is why AJ and Cena werent on the show last night.

Do you think that either of them will show up next week? It blows my mind that the WWE would rather send their top talent to a non-televised event rather than promote the Summerslam story lines with the TV time they do have.

Since it is the show right before SS, im thinking at least one of them will show up. I really just want to see AJ wrestle live. That would make the 50 dollar tickets worth it. However, im starting to feel like my chances of seeing that are practically zero now.

I regret to inform WrassleGAF that we have lost one of our posters today, Liu Kang Baking A Pie. It was not Nakamura-related.

We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

That is this week, you have nothing to worry about next week as the WWE Live tours are back in the states. They actually have one in the US on Sat and one in Australia that day, but that is the last Australia date and I'm sure all hands will be on deck for the go home.

Great Smackdown this week! Loved the Miz/Maryse segment with Renee, they are just perfectly hilarious. Always like seeing Wyatt, loved Eva's whole thing and Alexa/Becky match, also digging Rowan a lot with the new mask. Looks cool. Oh, also Shane and Bryan burning Ziggler was great too. Good callback. All the tag teams coming out to see American Alpha's match was a nice touch, I dug it. No Usos though. Are they injured or just out doing a different appearance.

I thought this from the start, but the two hour show really benefits Smackdown. Everything is very tight and I just am digging the production. The whole thing has a "big NXT" feel, if that makes sense.

I've never flipped. Not my opinions, not my lid, not any burgers because I oven cook 'em. I've been steadfast in my opinion on Damien Sandow/Aron Stevens and I'm just waiting for the rest of the world to catch up to me.

You're consistent.

I skipped Smackdown last night, I just cant reprogram myself to think it important to watch now.

How was it?

Better than RAW but still had a couple of eye-rolling moments. Dean's promo at the beginning of the show seemed a lot more fired up than previous weeks after his Stone Cold Podcast appearance.

You're consistent.

That's one way of putting it. Saying that, I was pretty 'meh' on Ziggler until a couple of weeks ago, then he finally started to have some gumption again. Still supporting my boy Dean at SummerSlam but I'm at least looking forward to to the match as a whole now.

I'll consistently miss you when you're gone.

I don't like that the ECW crowd chants "you f'ed up" but I do like that they count in Spanish when Super Crazy does the corner punches bit.

I guess it's good that work got me too busy to stay in that thread. Hopefully he returns soon, a wellness policy violation is never cool.

Wait, is Punk's first fight at UFC 202 or 203? I thought it was 202 then someone was talkin' 203.

Dean v Dolph will be like a SDvR match where you and one of your boys reverse every move in the book, hit moves the don't deal with your finisher, and some random move ends the match.

Dean's whole moveset should be brain busters, stiff clotheslines, neck breakers, back body drops, running knees to the face, kissing boots to the throat, and a Canadian neck breaker to set up the dirty deeds.

Fuck. September 10th? How am I gonna stretch this hype train out three more weeks?
 
I seem to remember the word from the sheets was Sandow was planning to grab a few big indy dates to make some money off being a name, then pack it in, so can't say I'm surprised
