I don't think it was a knife. The way he grabbed it and all. Could've been keys or something.

i wonder if he was like a super mark or a nutjob

Like the Downs kid who tried to kick Austin's rear end one time against Shawn Michaels

I'm curious as well. Leaning toward nutter as even the markiest mark haven't had time to really hate Rollins. Rollins has been really entertaining and its not like he's 2002 HHH. Rollins has shown his rear end many a time and just got back. Props to security locking down that situation quick and super props to Rollins for not even missing a step. Why can loonies just post on forums like the rest of us?

Also happy bday goon and no more diving headbutts. No more wrestlers becoming farms or worse please.

Be glad when they stop hiding Roman's belly. He can't be worse than Umaga or the chubby Uso right?

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Wrestling is at its best when it's dumb and cool for 14 year olds. So it's actually not cringe worthy at all and is cool.

In other words, it IS wrestling. Checks out.

Last thing I will say on that Raw is I honestly don't get the SAVE IT FOR THE PPV argument. Why? Finn's done the entrance in NXT and even on a WWE show (Beast In The East) like what, 7-10 times now? And Summerslam is in Brooklyn. They're going to lose their poo poo for Finn to begin with, and it's not new to anyone with the Network which I guarantee you 90%+ of the Brooklyn crowd will have. Summerslam has probably become the second smarkiest crowd of the year next to Raw After Mania. Besides, in the Network Era you can't even say "well you might have gotten one person to buy the show!"" because now that's not the goal. The goal is to get subs and then KEEP them by putting on good shows. I still wouldn't have done the paint on Raw (I'd probably have done the lights out with the demon sounds, had regular Finn show up behind Seth, scare the poo poo out of him, then have him say like one line about Sunday or something), but it's not that big of a deal.

For me, the "save it for the PPV" argument was based around thinking that for the upgrade to the main roster he'd invest a few thousand dollars into making some much cooler gear to kick it up a notch from the version of the demon we`ve seen before. Having him turn up on Raw in the normal paint without any real upgrades was pretty frigging lame.

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
I mean the premise of the demon is just that there's power in ritual. I didn't really see anything wrong with using it tonight, and I'm glad it's ridiculous and crazy, it's a war dance. That's why Seth getting unsettled and K.O. no-selling it were equally excellent heel responses- they weren't predisposed toward taking it seriously.

Happy birthday Hace.

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.

Best of 7 series only worked 20 years ago when it was booker t vs no one. It didn't really work in the mid 2000s when they tried it again.

Cesaro vs Sami would be cool. Or Sami vs Owens could have been great.

Cesaro vs almost anyone is better then Seamus.

Cesaro vs Sheamus will probably be good. I mean nobody really expected much out of the Daniel Byran vs Sheamus 2012 Extreme Rules 2 out of 3 falls match, and that was arguably the best match of his career.

My sources are saying Vince is furious that there was apricot jam on his pb&j last night. As a result Reigns/Rusev was rebooked at the last minute to include wrestling, which stepped on Hunter's plans to have a wrestling match on Sunday. Possible shakeups coming.
