Maybe they just rebook Extreme Rules 2012 and Cena does the same fucking weird promo at the end (because he's "out of it") and Brock hits an F5 and Rollins cashes it in?

--

I mean fuck, if it isn't Reigns vs Triple H at SS. Maybe they rebook WM31 too.

Triple H vs Reigns for a stab at the title later in the show.

Rollins vs Royal Rumble winning (and anti-authority) Randy Orton.

Reigns wins both matches, celebrates with dying children while doing his YES! chant.

Didn't they cut both Bryan matches out of the NBC broadcast? Maybe that's why. Maybe they want people to forget about Bryan and his WM31 so they can do it with Reigns.

I do think we need to keep an eye on Rollins this Summerslam. I can see Brock barely squeaking by, a cash-in and then have Brock destroy everything going after Rollins, the champion, who is playing a cowardly heel and desperately trying to hang on.

Well, maybe not, but that'd be a fun turn.

 

[Singularity42]

I still have a feeling Ambrose ends up with the MiTB by the end of the feud with Rollins.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Yeah, but building feuds for 6 months with only one guy there every week is not good for the product.

They've gotten along this far with Heyman saying "MY CLIENT BROCK LESNAR" every week since Mania, so they wouldn't be wrong for thinking they can keep doing it.

I could see it unfortunately. I like Ambrose but Rollins is the Shawn Michaels of the Shield if his mic skills keep improving. Unfortunately they're pushing Jannetty the most.

 

[KissVibes]

I think it's better for the product than the Champion being there every night.

Think about it. Lesnar is on an entire level above everyone else in the fiction. HE ENDED THE STREAK. HE DID THE IMPOSSIBLE.

Him showing up every second RAW to remind people of his power while guys fight to prove they're worthy of facing BROCK LESNAR would be fantastic booking. It's like playing Mortal Kombat. Who's gonna make it up the death pole to fight the beast himself and save Earth realm?

Hopefully they at least tease Cesaro being able to get to that level. I REALLY wanted the Cesaro vs Brock match Davey Meltz said was happening months ago. Fucking liar.

 

[Jimmy King]

We're looking at least a year before Cesaro is deemed worthy of facing Lesnar.

For those curious about the name of Shinsuke Nakamura's finisher's name, Boma Ye:

"Boma Ye is the name of Shinsuke Nakamura’s finisher, which is when he pretty much runs at someone and knees the shit out of their head.

Bomaye is also Lingali for “KILL HIM”, it’s associated with Muhammad Ali’s fight against George Foreman back in ‘74, and the crowd was pretty much 100% in Ali’s corner, and they would chant “Ali Bomaye!” which of course means, “Ali, kill him.”

It’s an appropriate name because the Boma Ye basically turns people into dead people."

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

Speaking of Cesaro, it took me a while, but I finally figured out why his heel run with Heyman wasn't working. It's his move set.

Cesaro is running with a strong-man move set, but ramped up because he really is just THAT strong. No one wants to boo a strong guy, especially when he makes it look effortless.


THAT is why he got a giant swing over in 2014. It's not that he does the move, it's that he does the move to guys like Kali and still looks un-phased.

 

[Heel]

Well I fucked my guess up considering I thought the 6mo subs were up. No wonder everyone was shooting high.

I assumed post-6mo they'd be under 400k, easy. But without that, well...I'm thinking 800k. With a huge dropoff coming.

Are they planning the international rollout before they announce their 3rd quarter results? That's the only way I see them softening the blow of U.S. non-renewals.

Vinny Mac about to be facing some Iwata-san Heat.

I'd imagine so. They mentioned in the UK that it'll be ready either right before or after Summerslam, so I'd assume a general Tier-1 (haw haw) rollout

I figured it was probably more of a tribute to Inoki Bombaye, but I'll agree with that assessment.

That's an interesting read on the situation.

There was a match a few months ago where the smarks were smarking the Sheamus/Cena/Big E team in a six-man match, booing everything they did, then Big E busts out a triple backbreaker lunge move holding Luke Harper and the crowd finally shut up and cheered because that is some Boss Shit.

You just now figured it out? People have been saying for months that he should be a face with his move set. They hade the perfect opportunity after WM but fucked it up.

 

[Man God]

Also any big guy who can successfully convince you that he is clattering his opponent will eventually get over, it's wrestling face turns 101.

Bork got face reactions when he was supposed to be this monster heel because he was straight bodying fools and you can't help but cheer when a dude is throwing out belly to bellies and German suplexes on Big Show like it ain't no thing but a chicken wing.

Text book example right there.

Also anyone on a winning streak will eventually get over as well. It's human conditioning. It does only work the first time though which is why Cena could go 200-0 and still get the mixed reactions he gets.

Seeing on Tumblr that people are saying Randy Orton should be fired for making Reigns look bad intentionally and he has heat with Vince about it.

What's this about?

Edit: Dirtsheets said so...? What?

Fangirls can't cope with their husbando being awful

 

[RP912]

Watching Summerslam 2005 and two matches in bullshit finishes...at least I'm at rey/eddie ladder match :/.

Didn't know New Japan sells Gedo and Toru Yano hand puppets:

Is that Yano puppet giving the finger?

 

[UrbanDandy]

Will CM Punk ever be on RF or Kayfabe Commentaries?

all of my money for that yano

Will CM Punk ever be on RF or Kayfabe Commentaries?

 

[RP912]

lol no...unless he's in need of money and relevance which is both unlikely.

 

[BronsonLee]

He doesn't require money, so I doubt it.

 

[Jimmy King]

Punk's going to reveal why he left WWE in the debut of his Nerdist podcast CM Punk's Pipebomb Podcast.

 

[Heel]

lol no...unless he's in need of money and relevance which is both unlikely.

Without his almost certain return, CM Punk would be on the Virgil circuit within a decade.

 

[Liquidsnake]

I don't like Aj's attitude since she came back, she seems like a stuck up brat. Her what ever looks are wearing thin on me. Paige on the other hand.

peach i could eat a peach for hours.

 

[KissVibes]

Why the fuck would CM Punk do an interview in some shitty backroom of a warehouse with smartmark banners in the background when he could probably get AOL and Ariel Helwani to pay him hella dollars if he really wanted to do some shooting again?

 

[Man God]

Punk's going to reveal why he left WWE in the debut of his Nerdist podcast CM Punk's Pipebomb Podcast.

We already know the real reason; he looked at Kane's old man abs and realized he'll never look that good. He knew he couldn't keep up with him and fled.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I think its his thumb because Yano does the RVD taunt

Just part of the gimmick although...comes by pretty natural!

TNA Nash was the GOAT

I don't even blame him.

WWF Nash > Sober shoot Nash > Drunk shoot Nash > WWE Nash > WCW Nash

It won't be long before CM Punk is only relevant at wrestling conventions. He'd be a fool not to make a return to the ring.

 

[jmdajr]

Punk is one of those dudes where people will listen to him talk about anything.

It will be podcast 100 and folks will be like..

"When is Punk going to talk about wrestling! Oh well..maybe next week."

It will all be one big troll to answer hate mail every week.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Sorry mang, only people who care about being relevant anymore are 6th graders and Johnny Manziel (a mental 6th grader)

I would argue about the money he saved and his appearances at the music awards and the Nerdist at SDCC that he's doing fine.

Two things:

Sober Shoot Nash is the best

Last I heard from Vergil, he was selling his memorabilia at a New York subway station. Is this true?

 

[Rhaknar]

was too busy today, only watched 1 day 2 match, AJ Style vs that fat blonde dude, I assume he's some sort of comedy / joke guy in NJPW? Anyway match was pretty bad, AJ tried his best I guess

Not having a conversation abut his ability to score popularity points. His relevancy equates to his ability to make a living. He's on a fast track to taking bumps in his 50's at a legends show in Poughkeepsie.

"DO THE PIPE BOMB THING!", they'll say.

Shit I am ok with that. I'd listen. It'll be better than 95% of all the other wrestler podcasts that are out.

 

[Jimmy King]

I can just imagine Punk's podcast...

"I'm sick of these douchebags online who talk shit about me but don't say it to my face because they don't have the balls to, they just have gaping vaginas. Anyway, I'm a feminist and have a tattoo to verify"
