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 hope they devote a few chapters to Stephanie starting the Diva's revolution

I guarantee that's going to be at least the next-to-last chapter if not the last, so the whitewashed story of poo poo that didn't happen can have the happiest ending possible

I hope they've guaranteed John Cena a job for life in some capacity because this guy is such the epitome of A Company Guy that it's astonishing.

This is why he's the guy and it makes me sympathize with them not having Punk or Bryan be it. Punk would have thought it was stupid to learn even a little Mandarin, and Bryan would have been too busy concussing himself while talking to plants and shamans to devote time to it

No one's going to care about the buy-rate or no one is going to care about the PPV.

I don't think either of those statements are true, actually.

MITB is competing against likely the biggest Thrones ep yet and NBA's final game of the season. You're absolutely right about the "nobody's going to care about the PPV" part

quote:

She said Lawler held her against the kitchen counter, hit her in the head, pushed her against the stove, put a gun on the kitchen counter, and told her to "go ahead and kill yourself."

Lawler told police the argument started when McBride lied about where she'd been.

He said McBride scratched him in the face, threw a candle at him, and kicked him in the groin. He said she was drunk when she told him she knew where the gun was and threatened to kill herself.

Lawler said the reason he held McBride in the kitchen was because she was drunk and trying to leave the house in her car.

Memphis police officers were unable to determine the primary aggressor in the case, so they arrested both McBride and Lawler.

The surprise is that after that GOLDBERG returns and challenges Roman Reigns to face him RIGHT NOW, Reigns then kicks out of Goldberg's spear and beats him clean with his spear

2 spears? Now that's a PPV. I don't know how Vince could contain all the money made from that though.

Not a Cavs fan but gently caress it, they came back from 3-1, and no matter what Ohio still has the Browns, Bengals, and RNC this year. They need some happiness amidst all that misery.

So my question is does he lose it back to Reigns at Battleground, or at Summerslam

I assume Battleground because 1) lol and 2) then Reigns can beat Brock after whatever happens at UFC happens

I'm also assuming they have enough heart to not have the match tomorrow and get it over with

I'm honestly shocked Roman's WM title reign ended up lasting 77 days. Not being snarky as an anti-Reigns person, I just sincerely thought they were going to go for the long haul on this reign in particular.

They still want to give him Brock and Cena. Depending how the Hunt fight goes, both of those might be out of the equation until at least 2017

Did the PPV (and the overrun) build a case for and against the brand split for you? How do you feel about the card depth tonight?

They have the roster but the booking is still poo poo. They had 10 matches scheduled for tonight and even people looking forward to the event cared about 4 of them at most. And it wasn't for lack of build.

Gonna be even worse when they bring in new and old people to misuse
