could never
more over than Roman? woah.
AJ has such an awesome theme and in ring style that I'm not surprised, but tons of guys have great in ring styles and yet the "chosen one" always seems to be the most over at house shows.

Sure.
There was a recent guy who was WWE champion for more than a year. He quit, and most people claimed that WWE used him wrong.
No matter what WWE does, people will find issue with it.
"Oh man, Styles won the WWE championship at Summerslam 2016. So excited for this!"
"No, you're wrong. Styles is going to drop the title the next night on Raw to make Roman look strong. Then he will feud with Big E till Survivor Series. Balee dat."

Calling it now.
AJ Styles will be in a generic tag team with Neville by summerslam.

This year will have him....on the panel with Booker T and Renee Young.
I for one anticipate his kayfabe analysis of Trips vs Reigns since he has strong ties with both.
I mean... that's usually because it DOES happen. They drop the ball 99% of the time. The other 1% is reserved for Cena, Orton and Reigns.
Daniel Bryan never had any concussions.
After Cena wrestled him in 2003 he has been consistently drugging Bryan so that he wouldn't take his spot.
Most recently Cena disguised himself as a doctor and gave Bryan the most recent news.
All to protect his spot.
The Politician always wins.

I would be totally OK with Demon Finn retiring Taker at a mania in the future.
If I was Vince, Finn would be the face of the company

NXT, you're killing me by putting a Cameron match and a Drifter match back to back.
Graves burying the Drifter is a delight though.

Apologies for double-posting, but this is top-of-the-page news really:

What WWE is doing just might be working.

Don't forget Triple H taking what seemed like a minute to actually make the cover.

With the new TV deal it'll be almost impossible for them to not continue posting all-time high revenue.
The $10/month guaranteed from Network subscribers is enormous.
and didn't he also just barely put an arm over his chest for the pinfall?

Disgusting
So at 1.22 million paid subscribers, that's about $12.2 million a month. Technically more when you figure in the poor exchange rate for overseas subscribers.

Well, that's definitely a way for Asuka to challenge Bayley for the title.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Roman Empire, indeed.

This morning's Wrestling Observer Live is a must-listen as well.
Considering that all of NXT has been taped and they're starting out down there, the only debut avenue they have is
if Bálor vs. Joe ends in a screwjob
did you catch my text about Roman's vest?

I think we all need to watch this match right now.Yep. Barely got his hand on by the look of it.
We also need to travel back in time and tell that person to hold their sign the right way up.
Counterpoint:
Chris Jericho probably used all the drugs which is why his stomach now looks like Krang got in a street fight.

Maybe that's just how he is built..and now he's old.

What have they given us to be enthralled by exactly? Hell, when was the last time the WWE gave us anything to be enthralled by? Was it Banks vs. Bayley last summer?
The best part of this morning's Observer radio is when Meltzer starts talking about the biggest point of the Bryan Danielson story that everyone covering it is missing (i.e. how soon CTE can be directly diagnosed and the ramifications this will have across the entire contact sport landscape - wrestling, MMA, boxing, football, hockey, etc.)
NXT main-event was great. Both Carmella and Bayley put on a great match and then Asuka just showed up and was awesome like she always is. Can't wait for Asuka to wrestle Bayley, she is so good.
The Drifter isn't doing it for me, that gimmick isn't going anywhere from the looks of it.

The network is aimed at the more hardcore fans and the more hardcore fans have shown that they will continue to watch and buy the product no matter how bad it is, if only to continue to participate in the zeitgeist.
The Drifter lacks for any actual substance. All he does is carry a guitar to the ring and wear a scarf.
He doesn't play the guitar, or sing a song, or smash it on someone's head (the only historical use of a guitar in wrestling outside of Hollywood Rock), he's just an FCW type wrestler but he carries a guitar.
Graves eviscerating him on commentary was the only high point.
