Metzler, and pretty much everyone else, was wrong about Austin V. Brock. I know he usually doesn't miss, but I don't really trust him right now. We're getting swerves left and right.

Austin likes his money, and he always protected his spot (due to his bad neck) but he has openly shat on the product for years now. I don't know how much he cares to come back to finish what he started (getting pinned by Laser), and how do you even book such a match anyway? It could very well be it's Austin that's reluctant to come back.

 

[Leeroy3101]

Reigns needs a better finisher. Have him work a program with Kevin Owens.

 

[Jimmy King]

Are you folks really still on this hating Reigns thing? Reigns going over at WM32 would be the right timing for his character arc and the professional growth we've seen from him.

I don't hate Reigns like I did before but he's never going to shake that his title win is inevitable and that's always going to rub people the wrong way.

Because he still sucks. He's a power guy who has no power. His moveset is bland and he's cookie cutter on the mic.

Not really. Dude could win the big one and I would be indifferent because in a way it was booked logically, since he tried to beat Brock this year but failed ala Rollins. I see the potential in Reigns compared to earlier of this year during the rumble. Dude really starting to grow despite of his current role of being in limbo.

Meltzer just said Vince has Mania booked already....

and that Reigns is gonna go over at mania.

By having him job for an entire year?

Remember Cena's worst year ever that had him lose to Laurinaitis, main event every PPV, clown Dolph, and beat the Rock?

 

[bill0527]

Fuckin hate Cena but he's having the best year of matches I can ever remember him having.

Go on.

just about making owens seem like losing was good. He never cheated, he fought like a gladiator. He was talking about how he watches WWE in commentary mode.

plus he was confused as to why stephine was introducing the women unless she is setting the rookies up to pay their dues to her as the top woman in wrestling.

You can tell he loves wrestling.

So a heel fighting like a face and losing hard is good now. He really does sound like a WWE employee.

I don't know...EVO is kind of tough to beat.

I also feel like half the people are going into G1 already hurt.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

At this point if you're still subbed to the Network and it isn't for NXT, I have to ask why

I haven't watched all of the clashes of champions yet

 

[avengers23]

I could watch Hannibal and stay up for the first G1 show, or I could sleep so I can work out tomorrow morning.

Shibata's injury is a bummer, especially since the semi-main is Shibata vs. Styles, but that Tanahashi vs. Ibushi match is a killer.

 

[Jimmy King]

I'm down for a Kane vs. Rollins match at SummerSlam for the title. It makes perfect sense since Taker interfered in the match and is related to Kane.

Also, I think Kane should get a title run.

I'll be subscribed to the WWE Network until the Network or myself dies. This weekend I watched Wrestlemania 4-8 while I was doing other stuff.

? The heel always cheating or going for cheap wins or some bullshit interference is what people always complain about.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Brock is the only dude left who knows how to make the choke slam look devastating.

Lesnar is so damn good at selling

 

[beanman25]

Awesome PPV! Great to see live too!

Contrary to opinion here, I enjoyed the Undertaker appearance. Still a Rollins fan too!

Disappointed by the Cena/Owens ending, but so be it! I do feel like Owens wins the US title on Raw tomorrow night.

 

[Toki767]

Maybe he has a dental plan.

G1 starts in a couple hours.

 

[Frecklestein]

Man, that SF4 top eight had me marking out more than anything in the past year in WWE

 

[avengers23]

G1 starts tomorrow?

Starts at 2 am Eastern, about an hour from now. Undercard has the usual tag matches, so you probably need to add 1.5 hours if you're only interested in the tournament matches.

Gamerbee's journey was incredible. Then, we had the shenanigans with Momochi's's controller that left me shook.

The AV Club gave Bryan's boom a positive (A-) review.

 

[Heel]

EVO final best sports entertainment story line of 2015, hands down.

Would have to see the tape to verify, but I'm thinking Momochi bladed his fight stick's cord to intentionally disconnect, throwing a round in favor of completely icing Gamerbee's momentum right then and there. They sat for what seemed like an eternity, as Gamerbee stewed in his own mind, in shock of what just happened. There's no way he was coming back from that.

That doesn't even factor in the replacement stick, which was never checked by an EVO official. It could've easily been doctored, possibly programmed with a hidden combo button.

Who can really say for sure, because by now Momochi has slipped into the Vegas night with the fight money and golden fight stick.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

For anyone thinking of getting Summerslam, currently looking like

Spoiler

Seth/HHH or Seth/Kane

Brock/Taker 2

Reigns & Sting/Wyatt & Harper

Rusev/Summer vs Dolph/Lana

Big Show/Miz/Ryback

Stardust/The CW's Green Arrow

Divas match

Cena match (probably not with Owens)

 

[Fox318]

Nitro is pretty good.

 

[Frecklestein]

Momochi's stick didn't screw Gamerbee. Gamerbee screwed Gamerbee.

 

[Toki767]

I said it on Twitter, but the EVO finals could've been booked by a wrestling promoter and I would believe it.

 

[avengers23]

First thing I did after Evo finished was reinstall Divekick to my Vita. It's the only fighting game I can play.

If I watch the top eight does that tell the story that I'll get or is there background?

Top 8 is fine. The Gamerbee story.

Parallels Roman Reigns.

Spoiler

Except Gamerbee was actually beloved by everyone at the end.

 

[Frecklestein]

I think you should be good with just the top 8. Just keep a box of tissues nearby for both hype and tears.

 

[pantsattack]

Nice, psyched. I loved Luffy's final last year.

Battleground sucked.

 

[LycanXIII]

Just now watching the event and reading the posts as it goes.

And I really like Becky. I worry the steampunk look might keep her from getting over though.

They were chanting "We Want Becky" during the match, I think she'll be fine.
