you know how it seemed like the crowd was behind Roman at times last night? Reddit's top men have determined that it was all lies!!!!!!

full disclosure: the best part about the video is that someone was mad enough about fake crowd sounds to make it

7 times though? God dayum. Really 8 (or 9? Did they fight twice recently). If they gotta fight on house shows too they're gonna be so sick of each other.

Also I don't understand why people are down on the best of seven series. They were undoubtedly going to fight that many times anyway, might as well make it matter in some way.

4. Sorry for burying it in the GDT but this Bryan interview is real depressing and I'm much less excited to see Total Bellas, if only because there will be at least one instance of Bryan post- or mid-mental breakdown

The fact that Bryan didn't have a choice in being made Smackdown GM is kind of messed up, but I'm sadly not surprised.

yeah I mean is Zayn even doing anything???? he had one of the best matches of the year last PPV and he's rewarded with no loving match at Summerslam, it's bizarre. Cesaro vs Zayn was ridiculous in NXT, they could burn the house down with a match. what a complete loving waste.

You haven't been watching wrestling for very long

Anyways, what's the best possible way to book Enzo/Cass v. Owens/Jericho? Just put Enzo and Cass over but have Jericho eat the pin? I feel like JeriKO is going to be a short lived, albeit awesome, thing, so it might be fun (fantasy booking incoming) to see Owens blame the loss on Jericho and then have a short Owens/Jericho feud or something.

Reigns vs Rusev was fun, I wish they'd stop making Roman Reigns the 'he's going to sell all match then randomly win with the spear' John Cena babyface, but obviously that's not going to happen, so they might as well have other big guys hit him with some good old fashioned clubbing blows in the meantime

I was hoping that due to Vince's disgust with Finn's height, the whole 'Demon King' gimmick would just mean that for all of his PPV matches he'd be replaced by The Demon Kane

What we saw was Seth Rollins stop talking and staring blankly as the crowd cheered. Micheal Cole helpfully informed us that he was being entranced. Some people say they saw a split second of security dealing with a dude in a batter's helmet.

This was the dumbest attempt to cover for what was going on especially as they then showed the guy getting dragged out.

I hope someone gets their plums pulverised in the New Day/Club match.

Sheamus/Cesaro will be good, imo.

Agreed. It was fine when the guy doing the entrance is called the loving Boogeyman, but not when you're supposed to be a serious threat.

HHH is taller than 6 ft though so he can do whatever he wants. Finn is a tiny pathetic man and probably has a tiny dick as well, ergo

None of this matters because the entrance is over. Teenagers and dumb college kids will think it's cool and will buy Finn Balor DEMON t-shirts to wear to algebra class. Smarks are going to like Finn no matter what because he's an indy darling and it's fun as poo poo to watch him wrestle. It's the best of both worlds for WWE.

I agree that the entrance could probably do without all of the gyrating and that the headdress is dumb, but on the other hand it's wrestling and if you try to take literally anything too seriously you're going to find yourself thinking it's awful, so don't
