I don't mind Jinder or Corbin. It's good to have actual heels for once instead of tweener type heels.

Maria and Mike's 80's love ballad theme is awesome.
It'll be a 10 minute SD match that ends with KO running out and causing a DQ.

The match will be during a SD, then replayed 14 times before Summerslam with a mix of tag matches.
Naw, they saw the reaction that spot got at MITB. They treated it like a big thing and it got the reaction of a big thing. It's going to be either a Summerslam match or a Mania match or both.

It's either then or at Mania with no titles

Is there any plausible reason to think the WWE is smart enough to turn the MITB story into being that Carmella cheated and they'll have to re-do the match with Ellsworth banned?
Hasn't the WWE blew big matches in the wrong moments a few times over the past few months?

I think it's safe to say that Vince doesn't interpret things the way most people do.

I could swear Natalya botches often and has no sense of control/confidence. She often makes silly botches that make her seem like an amateur.
Again, Becky and Charlotte are the only 2 who feel legit. Compare it to the men's match where everyone feels like an all star, and then compare it to the women where Tamina, Carmella, and Natalya feel undercooked for such a match. What's the point of expecting a historic ladder match if it pales in comparison to the talent of the men?
Becky and Charlotte get massive pops because they are huge stars, but they are held back because of the huge disparity in talent between them and the rest. Its why I didnt care much for Ellseworth interfering because I figured most knew the womens match to be a watered down mess.
These historic moments are important but this was the result of corporate marketing and less to do with good talent. If the match lacked James' interference, i still think it would have never been remembered outside of being a "first ever", and that's because 3/5 of those women are unmemorable.
It's the equivalent of a MITB where AJ, Nakamura are thrown in with the Driftor, Erick Rowan, and Tye Dillinger.
There is so much wrong with the womens division... they are a small group, they are split, the talent difference is big, they are constantly feuding with each other, and the booking is off the walls infuriating (Bayley).
Fans desperately want these historical moments because they want them to become standard, but it should never be forced because the result is a marketing stunt where the memorability isn't the talent in the ring, but the simple idea that having women use ladders is somehow indicative of genuine progress. We shouldnt be patting WWE on the back for this match as if women using ladders is SUCH a foreign thing that they can rest on this achievement for months to come. Because in those months, the women will continue to be booked like shit.

Except Carmella didn't cheat. There is a history with ladder matches where if the belt or whatever is hanging ever falls for whatever reason, whoever gets it first gets it.

Riddle can just double book himself in the G1
He's got a bunch of bookings over those weeks
As do other touted potential participants War Machine and Keith Lee, incidentally. Although I kinda would've liked Rowe & Hanson in the tournament, be interesting to see how they'd do in singles.
Holy god almighty that Suwama/Miyahara match.
Now we get Suwama/Ishikawa which will be a fine hoss battle!
Hell yeah AJPW friends <3

Off topic shoot: Since Danny Elfman is scoring the Justice League movie I hope he ditches the shitty Zimmer themes and brings back the GOAT Batman theme and Superman theme
So my favorite author Stephen King is doing a book tour in the fall for his new book with his son Owen. They've got tickets for the events and they're all around $40. Thing is, you get a copy of the book with the ticket with a chance at getting a signed copy. There is no author signing as part of the event, just a Q&A session.
I'm torn....I wanted to see Stephen King, but I more wanted to meet him and get a personalized signed copy of his book rather than just see him in a crowded audience Q&A.

I saw so many negative reactions to Mike and Maria but I love the idea, right down to him taking her last name.
How was Maria portrayed outside of the E? She didn't seem that bad here: she feels much better than she was years ago here.

You can get weed in Japan, Sydal tried to fucking travel with it.
Outside of the E she was always a diva and helped Mike out in his matches. The gimmick might not be bad, but the way it was done was just awkward and while I think they were going for cheese, it went too far in that way.

A couple of years ago a Rollins cover made a lot of sense. He's kind of a side show right now.
Friends, I still have bad dreams about school, where I haven't gone to class all semester and I go and there is a test, or I'm late getting something in.
I haven't been to a class since 2010. I've had classes since but they were a slower pace and all online. I haven't done that since 2012 though.

He's basically a CAW that lucked into landing his own cover.
Negative. Vince is probably trying to appease the nerds by putting out a Rollins cover first.
Wow. Was that Okada/Omega spot a tribute to Sting???Top 10 anime deaths
Is it? Roman is better than Rollins.

Simp Mike and Manipulative Maria is pretty goddamn good. Maria's been a really good promo going back to the ROH days now too
In his defense, it's apparently more for pain at this point
In his offense, Japan hates that shit

The only good things about Natalya is her hair last night, all her cat stuff, and her being married to Tyson Kidd.
Everything else is garbo.
