Looking forward to the Hardys 24 after MITB. I believe this goes over Jeff's Victory Road '11 match with Sting.

I'm smoking ribs on my grill and steaming corn later and I guess I'll watch mitb while I eat.

Yeah I'm just gonna drink some beer and probably smoke some weed so I can at least just enjoy the spectacle of it at the very least. Also I look forward to the crowd during Roman vs Jinder.

I hope they do a spot where Roman has Jinder on the ground and he leisurely punches his face a couple times.

VJeff posted:It'll actually be really important that they do good ratings on FOX next year. So they might start actually trying to put out good shows. If they think they can just get away with whatever, then, uh, FOX will cancel the poo poo out of them and their long term future will be "We're hosed!". Is the contract guaranteed like other athletic leagues? If Fox is spending all that money I'm sure they'd pressure WWE if things got dire but at that price they won't get canned.

I bought the combo ticket for Takeover and MitB, but I've realized that I don't have the energy (or will) to sit through tonight's show when I need to be on my game first thing Monday morning at work. I got my money's worth last night, and by staying home I'll both get enough sleep and have the flexibility to hang out with friends if something comes up. Next time, I'll just StubHub TakeOver.

I watched the UK Championship Tournament matches on WWE's YouTube channel earlier and some genius put the playlist together so that postmatch interviews come before the matches they're being interviewed about. Good job guys. Not much to write home about in what's available so far, but the Royal Albert Hall shows should still be good.

Instead of watching money in the bank I am going to watch Incredibles 2 Since the show is nine hours long I'll probably still see the end of it after I get home, though

Good job guys. A lot of them just looked like indie guys and indie guys not used to the a WWE sized ring. It is little wonder they flew in Robbie and rented a venue for this video and practice: https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1007797695308693504 I believe Banks is winning the whole thing. Overcoming Mastiff. I assume Banks will beat Gibson but Devlin going to the final wouldn't surprise me.

Here is a completely unrelated question: How much do you think WWE movies pay their stars/wrestlers/"actors"? I know the films themselves are profitable, but isn't that largely due to the crazily low costs of making them? Also I know one of the main perks of being a wrestler and starring in one of these movies is taht you get to take some time off of teh insane WWE road schedule, and also piss about with your mates pretending to be an actor. But is it financially lucrative for the wrestlers/stars? It's probably a well enough paying gig for the other actors/director/crew etc.

Well I tapped out after that Asuka finish. Not sure how I fall for the same trap after every single Takeover, but they got me again.

As much as I usually hate smarky crowds, they were the highlight of the night for me. I don't think I've ever heard a crowd less into a match.

We needed something to be #positive about and boy did MITB give it. You will never, and I mean never, again see anyone have to use the line "I can't believe Asuka lost her streak to someone who just wound up losing to Carmella clean immediately after" now that Asuka took the brave step to also lose clean to Carmella soon after.

Wait, Asuka lost clean to Carmella? Is this an anomaly or did they just ruin her that fast?

Ellsworth came out and surprised Asuka so much she stared at him for almost exactly a minute, to the point where really I can't understand how obtuse someone would have to be to think she couldn't have avoided the superkick seven times over. It was clean because she waited long enough for it to be clean

So "ruined"? drat. I didn't really see that coming, even after the streak ended.

We'll have to wait and see what happens after Smackdown on Tuesday, because I doubt this feud is over. Asuka is likely going to get to destroy Ellsworth. And Asuka vs Carmella is being advertised for Extreme Rules as of two days ago. Speaking of title changes, Alexa Bliss cashed in and won the RAW Women's title. The main roster Women's Division is in a really bad place right now with Alexa and Carmella as champs. I mean Alexa is an improvement over Nia, but still not good.

It's hilarious they might be giving Braun the MitB just so he can possibly cash in on Roman after he beats Brock at Summerslam because the crowd will inevitably poo poo on it, instead of, you know, giving the case to someone ELSE and just book Braun/Brock instead.

It was clean because she waited long enough for it to be clean it's actually even better than this. carmella attempts a rollup while asuka is surprised, asuka gets out of it, knocks carmella down, and then goes right back to staring at ellsworth until carmella eventually gets back up and kicks her
