I wanna believe they're not gonna beat Braun clean again because he's gonna fight Lesnar this Summer. But either way, he's sure as poo poo losing clean to Lesnar and probably look like a chump in the process so in a roundabout way it's all to get Roman over anyway.

It's when he hits the Thesz Press and immediately goes into the uppercut and then keeps going that you know you're watching something "Lit As gently caress".

Given McDevitt's lawsuit success rate and Anthem/TNA obviously not coming up with ANY of the Broken stuff, why would WWE try to get a deal with them and not just sue the everloving poo poo out of them?

Vince probably wants the rights to the gimmick before Jeff turns into a cloud of dust.

then what would be the top smackdown belt

I don't care which belt it is, the one being held by either AJ Styles or Kevin Owens is better than the one being held by Randy Orton.

Building stars is one thing, but I really don't want to build Jinder, because he sucks and is an unsafe worker.

I'm gonna look on the bright side here.

Randy Orton is probably gonna sleepwalk through this match. Combine that with Jinder being terrible and we might be in for a really funny reaction from Chicago.

I just realized that if Jinder is really booked for Backlash, that's over a month from now. We're getting a 4 week build for a world title match with Jinder Mahal. WWE is unironically amazing right now.

Eh, more like a two week build to the stupid Wyatt match, then a two week build to the Jinder match.

My Takeaway from Jinder's victory is that Sami Zayn is exactly where he needs to be, because Jinder got mad heat for screwing him over. Like, I was kind of shocked at the boo's he got even before the LOOK AT MY CRAZY PASSPORT schtick.

As for Jinder himself, I'm not going to pretend odds are in favor of anything good coming from his title shot, but I'm not going to complain because wrestling fans have spent years bitching about 75% of the roster being held down and how guys should be given a chance to Sink or Swim. Jinder's getting it. It went pretty well for Slater when he got a push out of nowhere last year, maybe Jinder will surprise us. If not it won't matter because Randy is winning anyway.

Sami had a really good promo after, too.

This is already more character than he was allowed to have on Raw. I'm actually really optimistic of their long term plans for him.

Jinder got booed because he was the last guy in that match anyone expected to win. That was the crowd rejecting the result of the match.

There was an audible "Let's go Sami" chant and they were starting to get especially loud when he hit the Exploder and was setting up for the Helluva Kick. That crowd really wanted Sami to win and was really pissed when he didn't.

NXT sucks at developing gimmicks that work for people. Working a small room of smarks that show up every week is so different from working an arena. There are so many gimmicks that worked well on NXT that died a fast death on the main roster.

Blaming that on NXT and not the main roster's lovely booking is about as backward as it gets.

Tajiri is tweeting that due to his injury he's done with WWE and heading back to Japan.

Look, you don't need to be cleared to wrestle to just show up and spit green mist in Brian Kendrick's face every week!

I thought an AJ vs. Randy program for the Summer was the way to go but okay next stop crazytown I guess.
