i went to one of these wrestling shows and it was... honestly? frickin boring. i wanna see ricky! i want to see his gold chains and respect for the ftw lifestyle
the selection of the teams is ultimately arbitrary nonsense but lmao at smackdown being "well you gotta earn your spot" and instead of rusev, you know, earning a spot against randy who, lets face it it doesn't matter if randy wins or loses a match anymore, and instead of MAYBE giving a shot to a guy who has been getting attention with every tiny scrap of time he gets, just freaking out and putting cena in.

GOD'S FAVORITE CHAMPION
They have a week to build like 5 matches where none of the participants have stood in the same ring as each other yet. I thought this build up was going to be alot of hopping between shows. Miz showing up on smackdown woulda been a big pop. Instead 90% of the storylines are being built on twitter and there's alot of panic booking like removing jinder, possibly both original tag teams, and potentially natalya.

I will say tho, Carmella cashing in during the Women's match then pinning Alexa would be pretty fun.

every once in awhile they stumble rear end first into something that actually has people excited, like roman and braun or something, and the build is really really hot, but most of the time its some dumbass story and the promise of the fashion police doing something then we all watch some good matches and say "hey well i didnt care but it was fun"

its like 85% of the time the same thing.

She should try and pin them both.

So, besides Angle and Jordan, the Raw team is going to totally break down after Joe and Finn start fighting, and Kane comes in to attack Braun?

PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources that Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were sent home from the Smackdown side of the ongoing WWE European tour following last night's taping in Manchester, England.

There are conflicting stories as to why this has happened floating around but multiple sources within WWE have confirmed the pair were sent back to the United States today.

WWE gives so little poo poo about false advertising that "they wouldn't send advertised guys home on a work" isn't a valid argument against it being a work.

Sports Illustrated says Owens and Zayn’s “offense was going into business for themselves” during the Smackdown taping and they were kicked off the tour by Vince for Conduct Detrimental To The WWE.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn kept on forcing younger wrestlers to kiss the craterous underarm of Kevin, which became the principal factor in sending them to the United States.

Zayn called themselves men of honor which I can definitely believe wasn't scripted

Apparently they needed to edit the segment before it went on USA? Can anybody compared the segment as it aired on British TV (or as it was heard live by the audience) to the one on USA?

They had to dub in Zayn screaming the N-word in post.
