Suck it
Two tears in a bucket
And then another thing
I'm not the one they'll try their luck with
Hit hard like brass knuckles
See your face through the turnbuckle dude
I got no love for you

I'm still getting used to the WWE's booking idiosyncrasies, so does the fact that Dean's been booked pretty strong since Mania and especially since Extreme Rules mean he's definitely not winning MitB or what?

The trick with WWE booking is that sometimes they'll book a storyline that makes complete sense, but then since people figure out the ending because it is WHAT WOULD MAKE SENSE they decide to do the opposite, to prove that they're smarter than all those dumb fans.

There's 2 potential winners that would make sense

Good thing there's 4 other people *throws dart at board with only those 4 on it*

I think anyone but ADR could do something entertaining with the case.

So I guess we've figured out who's winning.

Literally anybody except ADR would be very good, yeah, but Jericho would be weird cause I don't think Jericho cares about another title at this point so he'd probably lose his cash-in but we'd at least get some great promos out of it.

Jericho would cash in on the Smackdown champion and then probably put over Sami or someone like that when he decides to go back on tour with Fozzy.

Last year Sheamus was far and away the worst option for a winner, and well

Even Kane might've done something funny with it but no, what we really want is Sheamus.

It makes strong story sense for Dean to win, and KO is the fan favorite, so expect ADR to become Mr. Money in the Bank.

I find it completely baffling that the one moment where Sheamus will have mainstream exposure is the only moment that WWE decided we didn't want Sheamus.

Didn't Dave say that putting the case on Sheamus was a last minute decision and that Vince immediately regretted it? I definitely believe that first part.

quote:

Musician Chris Warren, who was famously part of the “DX band” during the Attitude Era, has died at the age of 49.

A funeral is scheduled for this weekend in the Long Island area of New York, where Warren was born and also lived.

According to Warren’s obituary, the musician “passed away suddenly on Sunday, June 12, 2016 at the age 49.”

The obituary continues: “He was employed by Local 638 NYC as a Steam Fitter for many years. Music was his passion. He was very artistic and was a singer for the band Bro-kin.”

Visiting hours will be Friday, June 17 at the Joseph W. Sorce F.H. Inc. in West Nyack, N.Y. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 18 at St. Ann’s Church in Nyack.

"Bro-kin" might be the worst band name I've ever heard.


SamuraiFoochs posted:

The thing that makes me think he might be winning is the level of emphasis on The Shield in the build.

I think Dean's winning MITB, but not the inevitable Shield triple threat that results from an ahead of time cash-in that conveniently happens during the build to Summerslam that would've otherwise had a blowoff to the Roman/Seth feud.

This is great. Jericho is legit amazing. Last year I was bored with him, but he just constantly tweaks his persona and now he's endlessly entertaining. How many wrestlers evolve like that? Not many get wrestling quite like Y2J does

Not quite as perfect as actual RATM cover band Age Against The Machine, of 'Jack Swagger's old theme' fame.

weird long slow intro segment and match that basically ate the first hour

lots of awkward backstage stuff with scenery chewing steph and overly tanned shane

Ah, and then Dean eats a pin from Seth, enabling them to transfer the belt and put Roman back in the chase without having to have him actually lose. I could actually see this horrendous nightmare future happening.

Kane will cash in on the Smackdown GM. WWE legal will become involved and determine that "Smackdown GM" is a type of WWE (job) title and that Kane's actions were contractually valid. All will be right with the world, and we will finally know where is Kane.
