She must be spending some extra time at the performance center, good for her. Her wrestling's improved too.
Wrestling fans dont remember three months ago(including myself), let alone how a guy got a belt. This would never work. I hope this is just a cycle and we're stuck in the re-vamped shit 80s era, and something big will happen in a gew years to reignite what wrestling should be.
Fuck id be happy if Donald Trump or some bored CEO or someone made an american company to counter WWE. They need competition, and not just from within at nxt

Even WWE doesn't agree with you. Otunga was body shaming him hardcore on the preshow last night.
Meltzer has been saying they don't trust his promos at all because most of the people in the back never saw his promos in TNA (because TNA doesn't exist) and are judging him based on his shitty WCW promos.
Sting is energetic and engaging on the mic thus far.

I legit can't tell if Sunny Mac's rules lawyering is an in-joke or not.

Dunno why they don't trust Sting promos. Those were the only good parts of his TNA run.
That was a fairly weak go home show. Only two angles got any kind of real build to them.
The divas match got a nice plot twist with AJ and Paige advancing their rivalry / friendship ahead of the tag match.
Bray Wyatt demonstrated that he can control Undertaker's powers to an extent, possibly hinting that it will come into play Sunday.
Otherwise:
More IC title shenanigans
Cena got destroyed by Rusev again
Rollins and Orton had the standard 3 vs 1 match build.
Stang and H had a show down and did nothing
Paul Heyman gave up on trying to convince the Universe that the main event was worth it.
It was all around just repeats or treading water.
On paper, the card looks great, but the build has been so meh.

Otunga bodyshames dudes on the WWE Raw preshow?
Why the hell am I not watching the WWE Raw preshow. That's like 2 of my favorite things about wrestling in one neat package.
I would hope, but I sincerely doubt it.

I doubt they were good.

I know y'all love Heyman, but the transparency of his promos just makes me cringe. Like, he's delivering them well, but goddamn is the script he's reading just absurd, insane shit like "Roman Reigns, you could beat everyone else on the roster at the same time, but Brock is the best, so I'm pretty sure you'll lose." Just way angrier.
You sound like a jabroni who don't think it be like it is but it do when you don't know it's a work when you work a work and work yourself into a shoot doubt, mark.

It was pretty great. First he made fun of Corey Graves' goofy suit jacket, then asked why Sting was wearing a T-shirt in the ring, then mentioned that no one has as good of a physique as him in the company.

Did bray really use the Thunder sound package?
Vince refuses to recognize any brand but his own. It's why they tried to give Goldberg a character when he came over.

I thought they were pretty good, actually. Better than Reigns or DBrine promos, that's for sure.

That's not exactly a high bar.
It's like my boy David Otunga is cutting promos for an audience of me.
You might not have been around during the time when people actually talked up their opponents because when they beat them, that made them seem that much better.
It's only not legitimate for Reigns because Reigns hasn't done anything to deserve all the praise.

Wasn't Nash already in WCW when Foley really came on in the WWF? Why not just you know, Triple H?
Oh, I know what they're doing, its just way over the top. Practically every single person in the company is putting Reigns over on the mic, in the ring or even in the fucking press to the point that it doesn't even really sound like they're backhanded compliments. I mean, c'mon man, you don't need Ambrose to give shoot interviews where he tells us about how awesome the reaction at house shows is for Reigns.

Otunga da gawd
Paul Heyman doesn't follow a script though. If he was they wouldn't cut his mic out. And he just tells the truth which Vince hates. This man has followed Brock's career through Ultimate Fighting, and he knows that if Brock wanted to he could shoot end the match at any point. And he has alluded to that on the mic. If production didn't try to stop him from delivering his promo the way he wants to he wouldn't have to make the same point again.

Exactly! If those dudes get mic time, why can't my man Steve Borden?
Of course, Reigns hasn't had mic time in a bit...

What a fucking dreadful ending to Raw.
Here's me thinking there's gonna be a little brawl but no. Just two little bitches that cant share.
Poor Roman hasn't looked stronk as of late. When he wins the title this Sunday I finally hope they go all in all the guy.

Taken from the WM thread, Kane looks much better with the narrow frames and transitions lenses. This should be his look from now on.

Let's be fair: any 3 second clip of practically any match looks homoerotic if you're looking for that. Its greased up, impossibly buff guys throwing each other around the ring.

I personally find it hilarious that his in-ring gimmick is his real-life gimmick.

Hostile, insular, talking about Ring of Honor. I can understand why many have moved on.

I think this is like the fourth time we've hit on the "guys Heyman is shooting" thing
Maybe he shouldn't have referred to "putting guys over" on air.
