Raw's top heel is on 205 and is only 5'8"

until Braun's back at least

 

[Arrowgigantic]

Matthew Gallant is wise beyond Matthew Gallant's years.

(Unless Matthew Gallant is 40 like that crotchety ol' Hex.)

I am 44, lol.

But I'm also pretty jacked, baby.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Neville has been so good with this CW title reign.

 

[Cagey]

Raw's top heel is on 205 and is only 5'8"

until Braun's back at least

WWE's top three heels are all on the gas, too.

Not a coincidence. Not a bad thing.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Becky gets taken out in the first minute of the MITB match and later wins the belt only to have the winner of the MITB match cash in on her as she fades to the background confirmed.

In retrospect it's not surprising at all the only one to escape unscathed was a Flair

 

[Arrowgigantic]

only 5'8"

WWE has now officially announced the third annual TakeOver: Brooklyn WWE Network special. The show is set to air on Saturday, August 19th, the day before this year’s SummerSlam. The event was confirmed as part of an announcement of tickets going on sale this Friday, courtesy of Triple H’s Twitter account.

3 months to build to the next Takeover, who is facing Bobby Rooooooooooo?

 

[somedevil]

Sasha is done, Bayley is done, who's next for Vince McMahon's career grinder

How is Sasha done again? She is the most popular female on the roster.

Plus he is rumored names for the Mae Young tournament:

Spoiler

Bianca Blair, Lacey Evans, Taynara Melo, Sarah Logan, Kimber Lee, Julia Ho, Victoria Gonzalez, Mary-Kate, Danielle Kamela, and Zhao Xia, Marti Belle and Mai Yim.

3 months to build to the next Takeover, who is facing Bobby Rooooooooooo?

Drew of course.

 

[jmdajr]

If WWE were smart, they'd market Joe vs Lesnar as a UFC style fight.

I remember Owen and Shamrock in that cage.

 

[Syder]

All of Neville's feuds should go like that.

No one is worthy of overthrowing him.

 

[Kaladin]

Drew of course.

Two former TNA Champions facing off in a WWE ring?

Black.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Becky gets taken out in the first minute of the MITB match and later wins the belt only to have the winner of the MITB match cash in on her as she fades to the background confirmed.

The MitB is cashed in on her, even when she doesn't have a title.
The case holder just comes down after she loses a match and then starts another match to pin her again.

 

[Oersted]

I already thanked the genius of the universe

A wrestler noticing what is happening behind his back?

What is this sorcery?

 

[Bronx-Man]

Actual MMA Undertaker.

Roderick Strong

Is it for Takeover or is it for a match to happen in about a month and a half since building a feud for three months sounds rough.

 

[Heroman]

If WWE were smart, they'd market Joe vs Lesnar as a UFC style fight.

But Joe can't shoot

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned WWE is planning to run live events in the United Kingdom twice a month after the UK Championship series officially kicks off — and the show’s top stars were recently signed to new deals.

According to sources … the current plan is to shoot the television show every six weeks and for live events to run every other week in the U.K. featuring wrestlers who will appear on the series.

We’ve also learned Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate, Trent Seven, Wolfgang and Mark Andrews have all inked updated US contracts that will soon allow them to work freely at the Performance Center when needed … however, their main priority will be working shows for the UK brand.

Gonna be interesting to see who they'll inevitably be running against when those dates are announced.

 

[excelsiorlef]

I called that spot a week before the match happened. It was around my birthday, I got a Wolfpac T-shirt too.

I miss WCW

HH 98 was my first live PPV... So much fun


HH were my only yearly PPV gets betweeen 98 and 2000, and then I didn't get another until Mania 20.

 

[Fantomex]

So let me get this straight:

• Seth is midcarding
• AJ is midcarding
• Kevin Owens is midcarding
• Roman is getting pushed until Wrestlemania
• Joe is being fed to Bork
• Still no CM Punk
• The Shield is still not back together

But they want me to watch RAW tonight?

 

[somedevil]

Is it for Takeover or is it for a match to happen in about a month and a half since building a feud for three months sounds rough.

Well after the first 4 episodes taped you get an idea of these fueds starting:

Spoiler

Strong vs Rooode
AOP vs Heavy Machinery
Asuka vs Nikki
Ohno vs Itami

Though they still have 8 more weeks to tape before Brooklyn. So they have time to do a small scale one before Brooklyn, do these during the tapings and move to new ones for Brooklyn or drag it out for 8 more weeks.

 

[avengers23]

But Joe can't shoot

Take 30 minutes and watch Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe from TNA Lockdown 2008: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_I-4Bmhdadk

Yes, it was almost a decade ago. But worked shoot matches aren't so physically demanding that Joe and Lesnar can't pull it off.

Of course, WWE probably has no interest in presenting something like this, so it will fall into the standard WWE match template.

 

[Foggy]

So you're saying Joe's getting a taste of the Brock/Orton shoot?

 

[excelsiorlef]

Who's more unimpressive physically, Nia or Fale?

Fale... barely.

 

[excelsiorlef]

In retrospect it's not surprising at all the only one to escape unscathed was a Flair

She's the only totally complete package (Becky comes close as well mind you, then Sasha a distant third and Bayley... welp)

 

[AColdDay]

Should DDP have won at Halloween Havoc '98?

DDP should have beaten Goldberg, and the storyline should have been that the Diamond Cutter is this ultimate move that can bring down anyone. It wouldn't have hurt Goldberg, and would have propelled DDP into a big-time star.

 

[Beefy]

Raw going to be dope tonight

 

[Syder]

So I re-watched The Drifter's segment from ER because I had most of the PPV on mute and I found it really funny. It looked like Samson was trying really hard not laugh through most of it and, finally, the crowd are responding to him.

 

[AColdDay]

How is Sasha done again? She is the most popular female on the roster.

Matthew Gallant is wise beyond Matthew Gallant's years.

(Unless Matthew Gallant is 40 like that crotchety ol' Hex.)


FallingEdge: a man among babbies.

ROFL

 

[somedevil]

No Veda Scott

Well there still 15 spots open with the 17 rumored names.

 

[avengers23]

So you're saying Joe's getting a taste of the Brock/Orton shoot?

Except Joe makes it work:

 

[avengers23]

Who's more unimpressive physically, Nia or Fale?

She's not like most girls...in that she has no discernible physical abilities or talents.

Fat Fuck Fale, on the other hand, has flashes.

 

[Zach]

DDP should have beaten Goldberg, and the storyline should have been that the Diamond Cutter is this ultimate move that can bring down anyone. It wouldn't have hurt Goldberg, and would have propelled DDP into a big-time star.

And they could've had a rematch at Starrcade where the story was Goldberg was doing everything in his power to avoid eating another Kanyon Cutter. Both dudes afraid of the other's outta-nowhere finish (well, kinda, with Goldberg's devastating setup spear). Could've been good.

Oh well.

 

[Hex]

A wrestler noticing what is happening behind his back?

What is this sorcery?

You can't not love Toru Yano.
Always fun, makes every match entertaining.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Drifter is the inverse of WWE tradition, the main roster has been waaaay better for him already than NXT.

 

[slightconfuse]

Bret should have ended the streak

 

[Brian_FETO]

That Dominion card is ridiculous, lawd

 

[Egg0]

Not going to get my hopes up for Joe/Lesnar. Like someone already said, go in expecting a squash or suplex city and be pleasantly surprised if it's competitive.

Armor under the Hockey Jersey was great.

This will be the stage for Brie Bella's comeback.

Beefy my brother, why do you keep doing this to yourself

 

[Menome]

Caught up with Extreme Rules. Average-to-good throughout, save for that kendo-stick match...which just sort of happened and was over before I realised it.

Also, the free offer months emails for the Network have begun.

 

[Syder]

Samoa Joe is going to get pinned clean at least once in between now and Great Balls of Filth.
