Randy Orton is a racist shithead who doesn't deserve another title run, and while Jinder isn't a good wrestler and his run hasn't been great so far it'll be worth it when Sami beats him and Corbin cashes in.

...right?

Ironically this goes back to what I and fart blood were saying last night, where we were on different sides.

As I said then: Why are people so hesitant to say something they like is trash? There's no need to jump through hoops and say that actually this was 8th dimensional chess and the womens MITB match was just too smart for everyone else but the people who liked it to comprehend


That's the thing about my generally positive attitude. I defend WWE as a whole because despite the poo poo there are other things I enjoy. But that finish was garbage, no two ways about it.

Something Awful, so easy even a spaceman can do it!


The crowd went nuclear when he began climbing the ladder and when he grabbed the case, there was some confusion on whether he was keeping it. But when he dropped it to Carmella (he also had the smuggest face ever) and the bell was rang, the crowd erupted again with boos.

Unfortunately, the refs arguing about the call brought the crowd back down because they thought the match could restart. After that, the crowd was deflated. I was surprised at how much Carmella got cheered later on when she came out to tease cashing it in.

Although the Nakamura tease was very good so hopefully they don't gently caress that up

Miz and Maryse doing their thing + AJ still putting on awesome matches still kept it alive through WM, but Orton winning the title + Cena loving off again + Miz and Maryse getting banished to RAW was a death knell.

I'm still sad they got rid of the Orton/Wyatt thing as quick as they did. Those two guys were benefiting greatly from that in my opinion and it's a situation where I think they should have scrapped the obvious plan to turn Orton and done something else.

It's weird. Those guys had really good chemistry as partners and absou-loving-lutely zero chemistry as opponents.

Not that they ever really got a REAL chance to go in the ring, but still.

If Nakamura and Styles did not have the staredown, Elseworth climbing the ladder would have been the bigegst pop of the night. That is hilarious

Man, that match had some problems sure, but you can't say that Sasha didn't bump her rear end off in that one. She took a power bomb through a table before it even started!

They tried a bit too hard with the whole 'So wrecked, must leave the match WAIT SHE IS COMING BACK AMAZING'.
The ending sequence with the table that would not break was unfortunate

Unknown at the moment. As with anything Brock, assume "no" and then be happy on the rare time that changes

Usually with Brock, I'd absolutely agree with you on this

But I'm an idiot who thinks if a company is going to have a belt, it should be on TV more than once every blue moon cycle

Say whatever you want about Jinder being a world champ, but at least he's loving there every week

Some guys are just like that. I mean look at the Hardys. Aside from the Broken stuff, was there any real heat in any of their feuds against each other? No not really. I barely remember anything they ever did wrestling each other.

I think WWE should follow Lesnar's recipe for being a good champ with all wrestlers and just have no wrestlers on RAW at all. It's not like it would be any worse and not wrestling at all will get you over better than following WWEs booking.

lol that women's ladder match finish seems abhorrent. women's revolution.

sounds like the only thing I missed by not watching was a build up to a better match at like summerslam.

I legit haven't watched a PPV since Wrestlemania and I'm glad
