You know it's bad when Rolling Stone starts throwing shade your way.
It's cool. I just wanted my disagreement in the topic be known!
i'm okay with adding her to the "partially successful" list, but it's a stretch... The divas division is a mess

How was the G1 last night? I heard it was unimpressive, but that means nothing considering how many more dates there are. Your typical standout matches, and Elgin looked good. They of course would make him look good because it doesn't do anyone any favors to make your dude you're bringing in look like a non-threat.
Thinking too far ahead is bad. Detracts from enjoying the here and now.
I guess that's been a problem for awhile. Can't enjoy any ride without thinking about what's actually gonna happen at Summerslam or Wrestlemnia.
The sad thing is that Rollins looked great against Lesnar in that triple threat match. They could've made him look way better since he has proved in the past he can hang with Lesnar.
But hey, can't wait for Lesnar vs Taker. That will sure be better than a proper Rollins vs Lesnar match.

Seriously. They've written puff pieces about wrestling for months, including one last week about Blue Pants. Two match finishes had to be historically bad to break up that streak.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
LOL at people online giving Cena/KO 5 stars for that match. 90% of it was:
1) Finishing move
2) 2-count
3) Get mad at ref for not counting fast
Repeat ad nauseum. There was absolutely no pace to the match. It was a terribly boring spotfest.

I feel the same way. Their first match was the same. Second match I still don't remember.
They had what should have been their last match as their first match. Don't know why they didn't.

So why didn't Undertaker attack Bork at Wrestlemania? When they were both there. Was he just waiting for the exact amount of grrrr revenge to build up? WM he wasn't quite angry enough. He penciled in random Battleground PPV instead?
Did Rollins just run past him with a briefcase before he could go out there at WM? TOO SLOW OLD DEAD MAN.
Its actually a pretty heel move, not like Bork cheated to win, but you ruin the guys title shot because he beat you so you wanted payback.... should have attacked him at Payback!

Stephanie going on about a women's revolution in tennis because it was in the headlines that week was funny, as though women's tennis hasn't been popular for longer than Stephanie has been alive.

That, and his "oh fuck I'm seriously struggling with this" when he had Brock up for the first one but his head wasn't in place and he needed to move his legs over before he does it.
Legit spooked he was gonna make an ass of himself.

Have no idea how this match at SummerSlam will be taken seriously by anyone. In no way, shape, or form could Taker take Brock at the pace they've been building Brock up to in the past year.

I just hope it's with Kane. That's all I want out of the Handertekker.
So far it's alright. The opener was dope. Looking at a tag match with Anderson and Nakamura right now.

C'mon, man. She's 22 and has only won the title twice! She's only the youngest women's champion and won a title in her debut. She's a flop.
Me too. I was legit afraid he was going to drop Brock on his head. Specially when he went and did the second one.
First thing that came to my mind was that gif too ahah

It's going to be even funnier if Taker wins it.

What if they throw Rollins in there to make it a Triple Threat? Or would that defeat the whole purpose of having Taker there?

That would make it obvious they don't trust Taker to have a good non-Mania singles match, even when they already have people buying for his match
In which case, why not just get rid of Taker being in the match entirely? If you wanted a triple threat, have him attack Rollins too

Not even mad at lol Cena wins (actually kind of glad, best US title run) and marked out for Taker leading to a non finish.
Guess I am part of the problem.
The Cena/Owens trilogy was odd, like they intentionally went with the same "blockbuster" match each time and every successive encounter was a bit more amped up than the last, it's like there is a story there among the matches that built upon the framework of the last one but by starting off with the finisher fest there really wasn't anywhere much else to build to.

Agreed. In the first match alone, there were 5 moves that should have ended the match. The false finishes from the pop up powerbomb and the AA were bad enough, but when you have that top rope suplex by Owens, that should have been it. Because that move is way, way, more damaging than the pop up powerbomb.
The second rope stunner is an example of this too. So you mean the move that defeated pretty much everyone in the business is now a spot fest move? Bad enough they do this w/ the DDT, don't do that to the stunner too. Even though that move needs to go away. Its going to end up hurting someone big time.

I think stro needs to rip this show, especially the Cena/Owems match, like the ROH-esque spotfest it was.
We already have Jim Ross and Austin for that.

I love the Undertaker but I still laughed at the crowd chanting "one more time!" for another Tombstone and he's like ....*kneel pose*
Needed a rest guys come on.
I'm still happy for my Sting vs Undertaker match, I don't even care, just do it!
UT getting revenge on Bork for such a 'big' moment is cool, but doing it randomly now after so much time AND after he's been back seen on TV since is really odd.

At least Sting weighs less.

But they don't bring the vitriol like Stro would.
First bouts are usually always the classic ones. Shawn Taker 2 certainly wasn't as good.
All you can do is raise the stakes to make it different.
edit: I'm gonna say Austin Rock II was better though!
It really was.

That might have really been the thought process for Undertaker lol.

It is five weeks out and they have nothing for Summer Slam which is supposed to be the #2 PPV of the year.
It makes no sense on one hand, but they HAD to pull something to get people to watch

There's no partially to it. She's 22 years old, a two time champion and the only diva on the roster who's over with every single crowd. The entire fucking division, as bad as it might be, revolves around Paige and who she's feuding with. I don't know how you guys are defining success if Paige doesn't qualify.
She looked damned good
Word is Brock was able to recover one of his testicles. Rumor is someone in the second row caught the other and will be listing it on ebay.
Kind of reminds me of this community whenever someone is balding or not in perfect shape.
