Reigns starting to draw poorly at house shows just might start to break through to Vince

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
well he did just lose clean to rollins
It's his first clean loss on the main roster. First clean loss in 3-4 years?
He needs to be a Heel. Rollins needs to be a face. They just work better that way.

Wow that was a great match. WWE should sign both although LuFisto is probably too old for them at 36.

obviously the boys need to bring back wrestler's court to put everyone back on edge
but seriously wrestler's court has to be the carniest thing I've ever heard about.

That report on shows with Ambrose drawing larger crowds than the Reigns ones sounds realistic but still god damn get this lunatic noodle away from the title after Battleground.
Also the AJ/Cena match was top notch. Styles output with the WWE has been la flame. I've enjoyed every single moment he's been in ring, even when they endlessly drew out his feud with Jericho.
And he really elevates his opponents too. imo Reigns has never looked as good as he did when he was fighting AJ.
Put him up against Seth next.

I don't know why the (WCW) Millionaires' Club was the face team and the New Blood were the heels.

Just read through the results of RAW, my triple threat prediction was on the money.

Ambrose isn't drawing larger crowds, he's drawing the same as Roman, which, considering all the things they've done to get Roman over, is still a pretty bad mark on him.
Will be interesting to see if the title change ups Dean's drawing power.

I'm guessing Paige will be future endeavoured soon as a result if this.
As someone that lives close to a (former) British Army Base and used to go out in places that had loads of drunk Brits, I can imagine that one set of handcuffs probably wasn't even enough.
Drunk British folks are the worst, the absolute worst. They have absolutely no sense on when to stop drinking. They're like drunk -> hammered -> fuck it all, give me three more.

Not all Brits 
Some of us can handle our drink, or know when to stop, or respect alcohol enough to know that binge drinking is a seriously idiotic idea, etc. I've always said we need to be more continental in the way we consume alcohol and stop saving it all up for one huge alcohol-fuelled bender at the weekend.
*edit, how long until I can get my Gorilla avatar back?

I haven't been this anxious to be free from an avatar bet since we had that bucktoothed bastard Archie.
We are a little shit at drinking, to be sure.
Tea, please:
And lmao at Paige. Just as you're getting a roster of ladies who can wrestle well, you run across a road in America, in front of the local constabulary. Oh dear.
And Thursday can't come soon enough. No more Beryln (so many threads looking a little Nazi-ish), and it's dress-down day at work so I can rock my Cesaro t-shirt with the WWE logo removed #safe

Wait what is this really a thing you get in trouble for in the US?
So I actually gave Raw a very brief watch for the first time in 3 or so months.
Rollins/Ambrose/Reigns was great. Poor Roman Reigns, he really is Lex Luger. A loser with a total perception problem, dead to the male audience unless something radical happens. Whatever about the boos, the chants he gets are just unfair. He's a lot better than the live Raw hivemind gives him credit for. He hung with Rollins and Ambrose on the mic which I couldn't even conceive of at the start of the year.
Rollins is full of fire and angst. Plays his part so well, he's definitely towing the line between face and heel - even if the appeals to Stephanie put him firmly in the heel camp. I think in ring he's slowed down but on the mic he's improved in leaps and bounds.
It's odd seeing Dean presented as somewhat of a threat. I can only imagine how over he'd be if he'd avoided this whole le wacky prop comic stage of his character and had fought his way, valiantly to the title. You know, instead of crying over a plant or whatever. He can still talk, he's still beloved the only question is will he be able to quickly become a more serious wrestler because he has been left in the dust by Rollins and Roman.
The AJ segment was fantastic. For anyone who listened to an episode of Talkin' Shop with AJ on, you know his "disappointed Dad" dressing down of Gallows & Anderson is more or less a shoot, good ol' Uncle AJ. AJ has found a real voice when it comes to promos and can comfortably carry segments on his own, as he did the first half of this one. Props to whoever is helping him backstage with it as they really unlocked a solid character for the man. I had to run out the door to work so I didn't catch what Cena went on about.
Reading the results it sad that Cena/Anderson went so short, they could have a PPV level match given time. Honestly the way to stretch this feud out to Summerslam is to have Cena beat Anderson at Battleground and go back to AJ after that. Imagine a Cena/Orton match except good!
Oh and I very briefly caught the Enzo/Cass segment they are SOOOOO fucking over. Made men.

Well, you hear about Jaywalking a fair amount - whether that's the case here I don't know.
I would love to be a fly in the room when Paige gets told her dad has come to collect her from the station.

If jaywalking suddenly became a thing in London, police would be arresting people all day haha. If there's a gap in the traffic, fair game.
Oh, yeah army guys can be shitty haha - there's a very large army base a few towns over from me and there's always trouble when the soldiers go out on the piss.

As far I know Britain doesn't even have laws for that at all except when trying to cross motorways on foot which is totally illegal unless it has a footbridge.

But wasn't Styles and Rollins also on the card with Reigns? Can you really put this all on Roman?
You are thinking of WrestleMania, not WWE.
I think Meltzer is right that it's basically contracted into mostly the hardcore "internet" fans that watch (house shows being the exception since that's mostly families.) We may mock TNA for having that tiny core audience that follows them everywhere but WWE is just a bigger version of that. They'll never recapture the Attitude era days when everyone knew who the fuck Stone Cold was.

I only know this because I made a thread about it years ago.
Also, now the Triple Threat is at Battleground, exactly how shit will Summerslam be?
I don't understand, when Dean said he'd fight both men at Battleground they should have done that.
Do Dean vs. Roman and end with Seth interfering and giving the DQ win to Dean and then do Dean vs. Seth with Roman interfering, leading into the Triple Threat at SummerSlam.
No imagination.

This is the reason these house shows are drawing. Not Dean. Hogan would be drawing low too if he went up against this Showdown of the Titans

They're here brother! NWo damn I'm psyched.
Since I stopped before WCW fell apart it's kind of crazy to me to think WWE actually got any mileage out of having the NWO after they basically burned WCW to ash.
