Chris James 2 posted: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 Just to be completely accurate: - She stared at Fakesuka for almost exactly a minute - Carmella tried to jump her - Asuka saw it coming and laid Carmella out - Asuka went back to staring at Fakesuka - Fakesuka revealed himself to be Ellsworth - Carmella superkicked Asuka and got the pin

That wasn't the worst show ever but it wasn't that good either. Very mediocre.

Allowing for the usual slate of doofy-rear end main roster stuff, I quite enjoyed MITB. Admittedly it helps that I am an Alexa fan. Nia/Ronda/Alexa triple threat sounds....welp, sounds like a thing that'll happen

Keith Lee is probably toast though. Vince will see him and package him as the son of Big Daddy V. ...It's really sad I have more faith in NXT these days to do things right than actual main roster creative. Goddamnit Vince.

The best part of MITB was realizing how at some point after I stopped following Raw regularly someone must have flipped the Talking Krusty switch on Elias' back from "forgettable" to "good."

wwe must be spite booking at this point because all they're doing is setting up good stories and jerking em away at the last second. heeeey Becky might win! haha just kidding Alexa is champion again get over it nerd. heeeey maybe Nakamura will finally get one over on aj, hell they're going to Japan soon! nah haha gently caress you he lost for real this time eat it. heeeey asuka can't possibly lose again to Carmella, the joke champion. hahaha holy poo poo you idiot here comes James Ellsworth to save the woman who dropped his rear end six months ago you fuckin moron. and here's Braun he's the money in the bank guy. you all wanted him to win something right? how about the one thing a guy like Braun doesn't need at all.

Actually my last post was a lie because the best part of tonight was when the ring announcer said that Alexa was cashing in her "money in the briefcase" contract.

I'm definitely gonna check it out soon, I'm a huge Hardy fan after watching the attitude era as a child in North Carolina. I'm glad that, uh, Matt is doing better lately, I'm glad for him. kind of weird to do a special about Jeff Hardy facing his demons like right after racking up a DUI like 3 months ago though

Brock having the briefcase isn't bad but it feels like real dumb booking. He doesn't really get anything from it and he has a bunch of ways that it could make him look worse. If he uses it in Brock he will need to make a normal cash in and win. Otherwise a clean cash in and lose means he has lost to Brock 3 times in a row. A surprise cash in to take advantage of Brock will make his win look kinda bad, the big monster could only win by tricking Brock. If he tricks Brock and loses he will look awful. I guess he cashes in on Roman when he finally wins so that Roman is never not chasing the belt?

Braun/Roman was probably the most fondly we recently remember those two, so that's not a terrible idea honestly

I'm not happy Braun won it, but a lot of that stems from the fact that I genuinely believe Braun kinda needed the win. Yes, he could have realistically booked to face Brock again very easily. But I don't trust the WWE to tell that story correctly, and Braun's taken a lot of damage in terms of accomplishment because the E just won't let him win already. No, the big green belt does not count. The WWE has put Braun in positions to win before, and they have pussed out at the last second, making Braun look threatening but also ineffective. If he finally wins the title because he's effective but also kinda lovely, I'd just call it even. tl;dr Braun needed the win because the WWE's insistence on not letting him win the big one up to this point was starting to make Mr. Strongman stale. Still would have been happier to see anyone else (but Roode) win

VJeff posted:So, uh. Yep WWE's already had three chances at giving him a title run and doing it over Brock. Them not capitalizing on it was no accident. Either he's not getting that belt, or he's cashing in successfully after Reigns finally beats Brock, which is also dumb because it just means they're not pulling the trigger on the Reigns run either They're just wasting a lot of time and I can't imagine an end game they actually have in mind that they Want to do at this point

Yeah, my dislike of it is that it is probably the safest and least interesting choice. Braun can be made to look good with any big win. Putting the case on him looks good but the future booking has a lot of different options that will make him look awful and only 1 or 2 that would help him. If he cashes in he has to win. I'm also salty about Kofi not winning. Give him his gold watch. Edit: there is no end game. If the winner doesn't cash in that night then WWE hasn't decided yet on when they will.

Also lol if you didn't think Alexa Bliss was getting that belt back in a couple months, tops. Who wants to bet that Nia Jax will somehow become her crony again between now and Wrestlemania? MJeff fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Jun 18, 2018 |

Gumball Gumption posted:Edit: there is no end game. If the winner doesn't cash in that night then WWE hasn't decided yet on when they will. I'm obviously not talking about "end game for the MITB thing" but like in general. Reigns chasing Brock and the belt has happened for 5 years now. Braun lost to Brock every time he tried. Brock only shows up for a rare 10 minute match he always wins. Alexa's stood tall to close a women's title portion of the show basically every PPV but two she's been on for the last 2 years. Asuka and Nakamura can win whenever the belt they're chasing isn't on the line but crumble like paper when it is, and for Nak it goes back to vs Jinder a year ago. Every story they seem to have is just spinning its wheels endlessly

one cool thing about tonight was commentary talking about how the Big Dog was next in line for a title shot but jinder might be able to jump over him with a win tonight!! like not even bothering to do a #1 contender thing, roman has it til he can finally win!! it's just total nonsense at this point.

DarkstarIV posted:The main roster Women's Division is in a really bad place right now with Alexa and Carmella as champs. I can't remember the last time I've even been interested in the Women's Division title scene. Ever since those drat belts were created it just seems like a never ending cavalcade of blonde heel champs and their never ending reigns of doom. Not to mention all face challengers are losers who are also very dumb and easily distracted by any and everything.
