Heel, if you're out there, what can you tell me about Bobby Lashley's MMA career?

We went through this the last Every Brand Split. Live or not, it's getting shit finishes, dumb storylines, and 50-50 booking. Only difference is either you're waiting an extra day or two for it, or you're waiting a week for it.
The only things that ever changed in the brand split was one time Cena went to Raw, one time HHH and JR went to SD. This time Cena will go to SD and Bryan will GM. No fundamental change or "talented" roster will fix it because no one or two or three things can possibly fix problems that have been there from the start.

You poor marks thinking that at Battlegrounds it will be
Get ready for a returning
Bayley.
Nikki Bella, fools!

Even those spoilers sound no better or worse than an average episode of Raw right now, so at the very least it's a 2 hour Raw.
I'd be fine with that. She's good.
That would be great. She is sorely missed.

I've been watching you, Fox318. I know you've dipped your toe into MMA-GAF, and I know you watched Ultimate 200. With your newfound appreciation of Impact Wrestling, I am proud to finally call you friend, and I welcome you to the side of the responsible wrestling fans.

he has a big butt, so there's a lot of hurt
True. Another funny thing was Owens wearing a
balor shirt during a backstage segment.

If it happened, it would likely be a
one-off appearance. Just helping Sasha out for a night. She did tag with Sasha at a house show not long ago.
I personally think it will be
Nikki. Makes sense what with her return supposedly being any week now since I believe she was hoping to get cleared in July. Maybe it sets up a triple-threat or something for Summerslam.

With you on this one. I've only read about him from the Observer, and his appearance was shocking.
Like, my god, go lift some weights.

I've never seen Moose in anything, but I assume he is supposed to be a powerhouse wrestler?
I'm not joking when I day Impact may have the best pure wrestling crowd out there right now.
No Botchamania chants
no you fucked up chants
no this is awesome chants
no what chants
booing heels
cheering faces
no trying to get a chant or song over
Sure they may not react to everything around the ring but they didn't detract from the event

I can assure you they used to have all these things when they used to pull a somewhat decent crowd.

This is true. But those obnoxious plebs all went to Full Sail, leaving the Impact Zone packed with responsible wrestling fans.
I got curious, so I looked it up. Apparently he's got a 14-2 record across at least like half a dozen promotions (Strikeforce, Shark Fights, Super Fight League, Bellator, etc.).
Upon closer inspection...a good number of fights had his opponents dropping out for various reasons or just having scrapped matches.

Yeah, somewhere along the way when it became clear TNA gave up, the fans that put themselves over gave up too and either quieted down to reflect the disappointment or bolted outright
For the best. This new already-defeated hopeless crowd is better.

That's a fucking TNA finish if I've ever seen one.
Not even close. Meltzer complains about them and Brian Mann and Nate wants them to leave the impact zone to make the show better.
From a tv standpoint if the creative team isn't shitting the bed maybe not having the smarkiest crowd is a good thing.

Well that was bullshit.
What crowd would you say is the best?
I feel like PWG and NJPW always get complemented the most.

If it was going to be anything other than just
Sasha vs. Charlotte one on one
During the match, Edwards dived to the outside and Lashley easily caught him with basically one hand.
After the match, Edwards dived to the outside with a hurricanrana spot and held onto the ropes to make sure Moose didn't drop him. So not only does he not 'look strong', but he is likely not very strong.
My expert analysis is this; Wrestling fans just want an excuse to chant something and Moose is easy to chant

Thats a hard question because everyone has a different opinion. Look at the endless NXT crowd discussions.
The Raw crowd this monday was good.
Wasn't he also the tallest ROH wrestler by a good margin?

Fair point. I'm just going off
the thought that I doubt a returning Nikki Bella wouldn't immediately be tossed into the title scene if she does make her return from injury at Battleground. At the very least she's probably the guaranteed post-Summerslam first feud Sasha has as champion unless Charlotte gets a rematch.

I buy a post-SS feud if that's who comes back, but I think the SS match is pretty clear.

Me too. That was a well booked fight. I think the BFG series is going to come down to Drew vs EC3.
