It's like poetry
I must have been the only one to take a picture of Shoot Nation or something.
It's too bad that they more than likely canned the idea, I haven't seen them in the last 4 months or so.

You can thank Kane, the show's gotten better in recent weeks since he got a bigger role.
I'm not a whole man without a pork bun brother.
You gonna get worked into a shoot pork bun brother

It also helps that there is absolutely no role for The Big Show.

I use it as a term of derision when people are being stupid--to describe people who don't know shit about wrestling booking but complain about everything reflexively without even thinking. This was a prime example.
None of this shit you guys are spewing makes the booking bad. The booking was perfect.
-They timed his introduction in front of a hot crowd who knew him and loved him.
-They brought out THE living Canadian legend to put him over.
-They debuted him against the biggest star in the company for the last decade.
-They gave them time, in a competitive match and let him get his cool highspots in.
-They even let him kick out of John Cena's finisher.
-The story was he was clearly a hot young star, but also clearly the underdog from the outset. That's basically the whole fucking story of Sammy Zayn, so they booked to his greatest character strength. Then, to make it worse, he got hurt in the second move in the match. So, that gives him and his fans a built-in excuse for losing. "Oh, if he hadn't got hurt right away, he might've won" sorta thing.

You can't blame the fucking booking for John Cena's SELLING. I know you aren't dumb. Stop acting dumb.
And maybe Cena went home a little quick so Zayn could have that moment in the ring after the match, which was pretty damn important, and was better with the time. If they had gone "TO THE BACK!" (actually to a commercial) immediately after the match, that would've been TNA-level shit, and would've killed the perceived importance of the moment.

That commercial makes me sad.
My wife goes, "Do you think the 5 Hour Energy people looked at that commercial and were just like 'Damn it...'"
Ziggler split it right open.
Holy shit BNB actually won. The IC Title really is cursed.
You need to calm down

I think new day is perfect. I like how they actually want to be positive
Good to see BnB actually win more

Makes sense to give the win to the newly crowned king.
Which will most likely end in a WCW like finish. At least that's better than seeing these 2 go at it in a lengthy match.

Definitely a clean finish then.
But he shouldn't be telling people they don't understand wrestling at all and calling them idiots just because he doesn't agree. That's called being a cock.
Owens stay based.

I'll start watching WWE again when the real Rollins/Nikki affair spills on to WWE TV. It'll usher in a new boom era. Believe that.
Also, Canadians, I'm moving from Toronto to Victoria. Anyone out there?

You ain't wrong
Here's being wrong: Daniel Bryan is going to have a much longer much healthier wrestling career and it's not going to be sad

Im in the middle of a 90-minute massage bro. I'm as calm as a person can be.
When people say that booking was bad, they don't know anything about wrestling. That's called being honest.

Sometimes it's true. We have like 35+ years of wrestling booking to compare things to, and what they did tonight was classic wrestling storytelling. It's pretty obvious when people are mad at John Cena JUST for being John Cena, even when he's more just a puppet in a larger booking strategy and does his job as he's supposed to do it.

Jamie Noble needs more camera and mic time. He's great.
Just because you don't agree with someone doesn't give you the right to come across as a snobby dick about it. There are ways to express opinions politely.

Noble should've announced Mercury as special guest commentator.

Lol Seth, Nikki which Diva wins sign
Nothing unless you count his commercial anything. It seems he is keeping the title if they are not talking about him or it.
