Oh shit, mate of mine lives in Richmond. Is Crossfit the dangerous one?

If New Day doesn't work out, Woods should have a Game Center CX gimmick where he challenges wrestlers to hard ass nes games for a title shot.

let me guess, is that a porn star
that whole video was great though, its almost like most of the roster are likeable, entertaining people!
Battleground Predictions (Because why not?)
-R-Truth vs King Barrett: Please kill this feud now...Barrett will probably win though.
-Orton vs Sheamus: I'm not terribly vested in this match, so it could go either way. I'll go with Orton.
-Reigns vs Wyatt: Another feud that needs to die as well. Reigns will probably have this barring some fuckery.
-Tag Team Title Match - PTP vs TND: Should be pretty decent. PTP likely retains.
-US Title Match - Owens vs Cena: If the last few matches are anything to go by, should be awesome. I'm gonna go with Owens on this one, despite the ever-looming LOL CENA WINS.
-WWE Title Match - Lesnar vs Rollins: Ugh...I'm mixed on this match, because there will almost certainly be some fuckery afoot and will set us up for Summerslam. (As such, Rollins will retain. Though we all know Lesnar could easily ravage him.)
Wow, that place looks real nice.
Must be some cheap land or something over there, because 800k seems pretty cheap for a place like that.
(Or at least compared to a similar-looking place in Texas, which would cost you tons more.)
Tennessee is pretty nice county though, if really hilly. Haven't been in well over a decade.

Battleground Predictions
-R-Truth vs King Barrett: R-Truth wins and Barrett is future endeavored
-Orton vs Sheamus: Orton because Sheamus has the case
-Reigns vs Wyatt: Reigns DQ win when Luke Harper runs in
-Tag Team Title Match - PTP vs TND: New Day wins since they are more over and Titus is the only one really doing anything in the PTP.
-US Title Match - Owens vs Cena: Owens wins via DQ after Rusev or Cesaro run in to save Cena.
Keeping the Belt on Cena is the smart move. Owens doesn't need the win as much as people say he does.
-WWE Title Match - Lesnar vs Rollins:
I honestly think they see Lesnar as too hot to not give him a clean win. Rollins may have made every raw and every house show but his program with Kane dragged him down. He isn't a draw.
Taker then tries to help Sheamus cash in but Sting prevents it.

So, booking time: How do you keep the U.S Title relevant after Cena?

Simple. Just keep giving it top of the hour/main event segments and have it treated with the same care.

I actually kinda want Cena to retain tonight.
Macho Sting should have been an additional gimmick for the Stinger.
long matches every week.
Open challenge every week
Unscripted/bulletpoint promos every week
SIMPLE stories about dudes who want to beat up other dudes. Make it seem like the belt gets a monetary bonus and people want it.

Are We ever going to get more nitro on the network?
Has word come in yet that Seth is going over? I need to know before I drop $9.99 on this show.

Haha did you just set that up? Well I cast my vote anyway.
Well there is a big spoiler going around with probable relevance to the title match tonight, so you can check that out.

It is pretty easy. One could say the IC title could be treated the same way.
Have the champion cut long winded promos holding the belt like a baby. Defend the belt in long NWA caliber matches.

1. Bring back the GOAT.
2. Keep it simple like they have been. Guy has belt, other guys want belt.
3. Cesaro, owens, Rusev,neville as the main people for the belt

So why is hyped as hell for tonight!? No idea what's going to happen for the first time in ages and it's actually so refreshing to not know blah is winning or how somebody is coming back. I can only hope we get a Shield reunion as a face team though, the nuclear reaction will be killer. Rollins as a face champion he'll kill it I think.
If Brock wasn't so hot I'd honestly say Seth should go over clean but Brock should never lose to somebody who is already established in some way.
Brock should be used like Mr. T at this point. Have him be the draw for casual fans and the guy he does beat looks like a star.
People who see the guy look good in the ring against Lesnar (Somebody like Cesaro, Big E, Dean Ambrose, Finn Baylor, Sami Zayn)
IC program they are trying it but they have the wrong talent in the match.
Big Show and Miz do nothing to make anyone look better today.
Ryback getting hurt might help his push. It gives him some babyface sympathy and he would have probably dropped the belt to Miz because they would want a title change on the program.

US/IC unification match.
http://strawpoll.me/4966793/
the community is split
Only reason I say no is because they would want to justify Big Show's deal and give him the belt.
It would kill all the momentum the US title has.

They really need to brand split rather than combine the titles to be honest. The roster is so large and the people called up from NXT can be used more meaningfully. Plus you can let somebody like Ambrose be a champ and main event a show week in and week out which given his popularity he needs to do rather than either main event or do absolutely nothing!
Plus you can split the writing team in half for each show too, less cooks in the kitchen the better!

Because they suddenly realized that Wyatt needs a win badly and Vince feels Sting is jobable because he didn't create Sting and he's getting back at Turner somehow.
let the person who has the US title cut promos every week like Jawn Cena does, about the title and how their character relates to it

Just looked at the card on Wikipedia.
R-Truth vs. King Barrett
Eh.
Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt
What? Why?
Seth Rollins (with Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury) (c) vs. Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heyman)
Now we're cooking with fire.
The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) (c) vs. The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston, and/or Xavier Woods)
Slightly interested.
John Cena (c) vs. Kevin Owens
Oooh. I look forward to the outcome.
Randy Orton vs. Sheamus
The wind is officially out of my sails.
No Dolph? Or Rusev? Or Stardust? Or Ambrose? Or NXT ladies that I saw debuted on RAW? Or other guys I'm probably missing?
Hmmmm...

Yeah I'm pretty pumped up. I'm actually interested in watching more than one of the matches so that's good. Although I guess even so there are still Sheamus and Reigns matches to sit through before the good stuff happens!
Considering they aren't using the women at all, or Rusev, Cesaro and Neville or some of their other good low profile guys, they still have 3 matches I want to actually watch.

They're gonna waste all of Brock's build for the sake of
giving Taker his win back..
They have nowhere near the roster size to do a brand split with the number of shows they run.
NXT works because they can protect guys from getting overexposed and the crowd (for the most part) is rabid enough to cover boring parts.
You put those guys in a 3 hour raw with Dunn production and Vince lead commentary it will suck.
A brand split now would require that they double the roster size.

I don't see that happening at all to be honest. They'll keep them apart, more likely to get HHH/Rollins in that role. Hell they could easily go Shield v Taker/Kane/Lesnar with Heyman getting sided with the Shield. No coincidence that Ambrose has nothing to treading water and Reigns' feud with Wyatt could be taken from him and they go Sting/Wyatt for SS. Everyone's involved then...
Does Vince ever make a decision that is not motivated by being bitter as fuck?

Oh, one hilarious note from the house show last night. I literally had to turn the exposure down on my camera to get pictures of Sheamus.
Did they hand out the glasses they save for looking at the sun during an eclipse?
Oh yeah! No Cesaro or Neville?? ;_;
Edit: Oh, I guess there are a lot of rumors floating around, so tonight could be fun? I'm not going to read anything, but now I'm a little more excited.

Sting's gonna have an 0-5 record by the time he's done with WWE.
