I would laugh if Vince or someone at WWE thinks Brock being busted over performance-enhancing drugs means Roman's own substance-taking will be in the background as boring old news.

If Brock is suspended for doping... Does that means that the WWE will have suspend him for Summerslam? They would look stupid not to... But, I guess they could do it and have him return for the show like Roman.

AJ, Joe and Rusev are the only three guys in the company that tend to capture my attention though Rusev can be iffy because he's rarely used well. Rusev is the number one guy I want to see somewhere else because I think his booking is way too all over the place in WWE. I enjoy Cena a lot too just because I like him transitioning into a wilier veteran gatekeeper type though I think that is benefited STRONGLY from the fact that he's not as full-time as he was.

I like Neville a lot. I find him very underrated despite his goofy looks. I think he's better than Zayn, for one. I've really been enjoying Jericho's promos. I think he's jumped above Miz for me in that category. I like Roman in-ring but everything around him is so miserable that it's hard. Goldust is one of my all-time favorites but he keeps getting saddled with stupid shit. And not the kind of stupid shit Goldust can make work. Or anyone can make work. I want to like Big E but I think the chances of that get lower as long as New Day continues to be a thing and he continues to make goofy faces. Eventually that's just going to be what everyone knows him as. And he'll never be able to move past that. I want to like Del Rio and sometimes I do for brief moments. I like American Alpha though I do worry a lot of their matches feel really formulaic. I like Heath Slater as a sideshow attraction. I like how huge and creepy Braun is and I don't mind his wrestlling not being great because he's a giant monster hillbilly. He's not supposed to do much more than brawl and stagger. I wouldn't put any titles on him, but I'd make him a big challenge and with time he'll get better at being a big monster. Sadly, WWE rarely books big old school monsters like your Andres or Kamalas anymore and everyone's more like Vader or Sid.

La Sombra is an amazing wrestler but their choice of entrance attire and not debuting him with a killer gimmick was fucking atrocious. Shinsuke is kind of whatever to me. I guess I've watched NJPW long enough and followed him long enough that.. He's just being Shinsuke. It's nothing I haven't seen for the last 6 years. I'd rather see Tanahashi in WWE honestly just because Tanahashi is usually better about evolving his gimmick while still being the same gimmick. He adds little touches like the DDT run where he was 'Hiroshi Tanahashi NJPW Ace' and basically casually trashed DDT in the most passive aggressive manner. Nakamura's gimmick has been the same forever. And before that, his old gimmick was the same forever.

Thanks for taking the time to post your thoughts Data. I think you're one of the best sources for content outside of the WWE here so I was just really interested in finding out what you were enjoying in the biggest company.

If it comes out as legit before the 21st then he's fine

If it's a 30 day suspension they have a few days to do it for him to be back in time for Summerslam. Either way you have to figure if the match happens, either he's losing or you ain't seeing him for a long time after. I support both.

Heyman is too great

) Heyman brought up an interesting theory about the Streak ending which he said “Is it me fucking with you or am I telling you something you’re not supposed to know?”. He suggested the notion that it was actually planned that Taker was to go over at Wrestlemania 30, but Brock, in a shoot, beat down Taker so bad, and hooked Taker’s leg in a way, that he couldn’t kick out.

He explained that in that case, WWE could not fire Lesnar because he had just beaten the Undertaker’s streak and that the only way out of the situation was to go with Lesnar beating the streak. Heyman also mentioned that this explains why Lesnar’s music was not immediately played after he pinned Taker and why Taker collapsed as soon as he got through the curtain.

He also confirmed, if the story he told wasn’t true, that the only people who knew about the streak’s end was himself, Lesnar, Taker & Vince McMahon.

She's only been wrestling g for less than 2 years. Alexa Bliss is too slight and I never feel any of her moves.

Her short experience combined with the fact she's still quite green only makes me think she should have been kept behind in NXT instead of being brought up. NXT or main roster, she's always the sidekick to someone. Which worked fine with Emma since it could have helped her develop on a secondary feud until she unfortunately got injured so they had to stick her with Charlotte, the champ keeping her constantly now in the main women's story-line.

You know Jimmy by your logic, that means all of Roman's victories should be reverse. Which means that..... HHH never lost the title..... Which means 😑😠

I think Alexa always has the hardest looking hits among the top female performers. When she hits things on the mat it's always more impactful looking and sounding of most of the women.

And her speed. It's not Asuka fast, but she's quick
