We had a good night last night at Payback...will it roll into a good show on Monday night?
Let's go...
We are LIVE(!!!) from Richmond, Virginia!!!
Cole, Booker, and JBL are the guys at the desk.
Triple H and Steph start us off. Steph's rocking a red dress from my Mom's closet while Triple H is in a Michael Mann movie.
Steph talks up Seth Rollins beating up three guys while Triple H says that he told everyone that Rollins would win -- and that he's the future of WWE. Steph says that the three guys who failed at Payback can now go to the back of the line.
Triple H gives us a surprise: the same Intercontinental Title which, for some reason, requires a full on unveiling, complete with drumroll and velvet podium. They talk about how Daniel Bryan's body couldn't hold up but that the show must go on...and, now, we will see a new champ crowned at Elimination Chamber. This gets a small music video of the Elimination Chamber lowering. Steph continues to talk.
Sheamus interrupts the segment to a semi-pop and rambles for the first minute, then claims that he ended Daniel Bryan's career. We get a glimpse of Sheamus legit-injuring Daniel Bryan by botching a move which, on top of Steph's bragging, is just so classy. He wants a shot at the IC Title because of it.
That brings out Ryback. He comes out and calls Sheamus "stupid", which seems to take more energy from him than hitting the Meathook Clothesline. Steph interrupts and Ryback tells her to shut up and says that Daniel Bryan got injured doing what he loved. He doesn't like bullies, which is ironic. He wants Sheamus.
So Triple H makes the match happen...and it's next.
MATCH #1: Sheamus vs. Ryback
The two trade shots and Ryback chases Sheamus around the ring. Press by Ryback, then he he puts Sheamus in the corner. Irish Whip sees Sheamus hitting a kneelift but Ryback comes back, ramming Sheamus's head into the top buckle. Ryback hits a nice powerslam in stride for a two count. Ryback stomps at Sheamus who gets to the ropes. The ref pulls Ryback off and Sheamus grabs him, hitting a backbreaker. Ryback rolls out of the ring, favoring his taped up ribs. He tries to get back on the ring but Sheamus runs at him, knocking him off the mat. After a break, both men are down. They get up and trade punches but Sheamus hits a shoulder to the ribs and hits six of the Ten Beats before Ryback drags him in the ring. Sheamus tries a Brogue but Ryback counters with a nice powerbomb. Sheamus gets to the corner. Ryback runs at him but Sheamus kicks him. He rushes Ryback who counters with a Spinebuster. Two count. Ryback sets up for the Meathook but Sheamus escapes the ring. Ryback goes after him, picks him up and press slams Sheamus into the announce table. The two fight to the other side of the ring. Ryback rams Sheamus's head into the ringpost, then gets back in the ring. Back in the ring, Ryback tries Shell Shock but Sheamus punches him in the ribs, then feigns an eye injury. The ref shoves Ryback away from Sheamus -- and Sheamus hits a Brogue Kick to end it at 10:00.
WINNER: Sheamus via Brogue Kick
RATING: **3/4. Not a bad match to start.
AT ELIMINATION CHAMBER: Sheamus and Ryback are in the EC match anyhow, so...
TONIGHT: Seth Rollins will be praised for retaining the title at Payback.
Triple H and Steph are backstage, talking about the party. Steph says the man who can add the final touches is Kane. Kane shows up and says that he thinks Seth has really grown up. Seth shows up with glasses of champagne. He praises Kane for his help and says that he's the reason Kane still has a job. Dean Ambrose appears with a huge, goofy grin and says that Rollins only won because four other guys helped him. He says that he beat Rollins the last time they went 1 on 1. He says that Rollins never beat him last night. He says that he will grant Seth a "re-match" at Elimination Chamber -- as long as Seth puts the title on the line. Triple H leaves and lets Kane handle things. Kane tells Seth to decide. Seth says Ambrose isn't in line for the title and leaves, laughing. Ambrose calls Kane a "glorified butler" and tells him that The Undertaker and Paul Bearer would be very unhappy with him if they saw him now. Kane's so pissed, he books Ambrose in a match with Bray Wyatt. Ambrose happily accepts -- then takes Kane's champagne and drinks it, telling him, "You shouldn't drink on the clock."
A good segment made great due almost completely to Ambrose who just does not give one fuck. Loved it.
We get an ad for Elimination Chamber.
Renee Young brings out...Neville?! Whoa. Ok. He says that he's competed worldwide, but it's nothing compared to WWE. Bo Dallas interrupts the segment and says that there's nothing like a great children's story. Neville's story would be "The Little Engine That Couldn't". He says that Neville think's he's going up -- but that would be a lie. Neville says that he BO-LIEVES that Bo Dallas was the one that lost to him to start his career. Bo Dallas attacks but Neville dispatches him from the ring.
Wade Barrett shows up and this is a match with Bo Dallas on commentary.
MATCH #2: Neville vs. King Barrett
Neville and Barrett circle before Neville rolls him up for two. Barrett works him over in the corner and starts attacking Neville's injured knee from last night. He stomps at Neville and gets a one count. Barrett gets out of the ring, smashes Neville's leg into the mat, then grins. After a break, Wade's still working on Barrett's knee with elbows, kneedrops and leglocks. Neville finally gets out and retreats to a corner. Barrett tries to hit a big boot but Neville moves and Barrett hits the buckle. Neville kicks at Barrett and tries a German Suplex but his knee buckles. Wade rushes him and it's an Enzuguri by Neville. Neville tries a Springboard maneuver but just falls off the top rope from the pain. Barrett hits the Bullhammer to win at 7:05.
WINNER: Barrett via Bullhammer
RATING: *1/2, at most. Kinda sad that Neville's going from a decent mid-carder like Barrett to the bottom of the barrel with Bo Dallas, but I look forward to seeing what both guys can do in a feud.
Post-match, Dallas gets in the ring and attacks Neville, working over his knee and wrapping it around the ringpost.
We review what happened between Cena and Rusev at Payback.
TONIGHT: Cena's Open Challenge.
ALSO: Rusev will react to last night.
Rusev is out to speak as Cole argues about how "translators from out there" say that Rusev quit. Rusev says that there is no Lana. (DANIELLE: ONLY ZUUL!) The crowd chants for Lana as Rusev says he never quit. He tells the crowd to shut up. He says he beat Cena badly. Cena passed out and Lana quit. He says he wants the match to restart and tells The Authority to get out here. Lana shows up and walks to the ring. Rusev's furious. Lana says that Rusev isn't who he seems to be. She says that Rusev is "misunderstood" and that she believes in him. She says that she thought Rusev would make Cena say he quits -- but he couldn't do it. That's life. She says loses her accent twice, but finds it on the floor and adopts it like a puppy. She says that Rusev just screams all the time. Last night, he screamed "I QUIT" over and over. He tells Lana that he doesn't need anyone. Only he matters. He tells Lana to leave. She does. Rusev stands in the ring, scowling.
(Incredible segment that brings a human element to an unstoppable monster and the woman behind him. I really enjoyed this.)
We go over last night's Fatal 4-Way.
TONIGHT: The Tag Team Championship Rematch. Xavier Woods is banned from ringside.
MATCH #3: Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt
Wyatt hits a slam after a lock-up but misses the Reverse Senton. Ambrose hits an elbow and kicks Wyatt in the stomach. He locks Wyatt's left arm and puts the right arm in an armbar. Hold is broken and Wyatt slaps the taste out of Ambrose's mouth. Ambrose tries to hit a cross body but just bounces off of Wyatt's chest. Wyatt runs and kicks him. He tosses Ambrose in the corner and hits a big clothesline but Ambrose comes back, hitting a running forearm. Bray bails from the ring. Ambrose tries a Flying Psycho, but Bray hits him coming out, then just DDT's him out of the ring. After a break, Wyatt's in control because he flew at Ambrose real fast. Wyatt kicks Ambrose in the head, then just tosses Ambrose across the ring and out. Bray goes for a clothesline but Ambrose nails him too. They both get back in the ring at nine as Ambrose gets to his feet, looking pissed. The two trade shots as the crowd chants for tables. Ambrose hits a flying cross body off an Irish Whip, then hits the Running Bulldog. Bray rolls outside, so Ambrose locks his arms on the top rope and hits a missile dropkick and flying legdrop. Ambrose pins for two. A series of counters and Wyatt flies at Ambrose, missing. He goes outside and Ambrose hits the Flying Lunatic. Back in the ring, the two men trade finisher attempts but both fail. Wyatt shoves Ambrose who goes for the Rebound Clothesline but Wyatt hits the clothesline instead. Wyatt hangs upside down and sets up for Sister Abigail. Ambrose just slaps him. Wyatt punches him and Ambrose hits the Rebound Clothesline for two. Ambrose puts Bray on the top buckle and goes for a Superplex but Bray breaks it and goes for the Reverse Senton. He misses. Ambrose climbs the buckle...but J&J show up, distract Ambrose and Bray hits Sister Abigail for the win at 13:27.
WINNER: Bray Wyatt via Sister Abigail
RATING: ***1/2 for this. Finish is a touch annoying but Ambrose isn't really done any harm for it. This is the match of the night so far.
Backstage, Triple H and Steph smile as Bray does The Raven.
TONIGHT: Nikki Bella defends the Divas Championship against Naomi.
NEXT: The New Day defends the titles.
Kofi and E come out to the ring and Kofi stops the music. He says that Woods being banned from ringside is a conspiracy. E says that it isn't fair that they have to defend their titles against five other teams at Elimination Chamber. They try the NEW DAY ROCKS chant but we know how that ends.
MATCH #4: Cesaro & Tyson Kidd (challengers) (w/ Natalya) vs. The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Big E) (champions) for the WWE Tag Team Championship
E press slams Cesaro and chokes him against the ropes. Cesaro breaks and clotheslines Kofi off the mat, then hits a nice Delayed Suplex on E, tagging Tyson Kidd. Kidd hits a nice Frankensteiner on E outside the ring. After a break, E has Cesaro in an Abdominal Stretch. Cesaro breaks and E grabs him, hitting a belly to belly suplex. He goes for the Warrior Splash but Cesaro jumps up and hits a powerslam. Tag to Kidd who hits a Springboard Legdrop on E. Two count. Kofi gets the tag and Kidd is all over him with a kick and a clothesline. He goes for the Sharpshooter, locking it in but E runs in to save the match. Cesaro gets in the ring to help out Kidd but E dumps him. Kofi and E stomp a mudhole in Kidd without a care until they get DQ'ed at 5:51.
WINNERS: Cesaro & Tyson Kidd via DQ
STILL CHAMPS: The New Day
RATING: DUD. This never got started and had a shit ending.
Post-match, Xavier Woods comes down to beat on Cesaro. Lucha Dragons, Los Matadores, The Ascension and Prime Time Players all show up to join the party as this turns into a teaser for the EC Tag Match.
LATER: Seth Rollins' party.
THIS THURSDAY ON SMACKDOWN: Roman Reigns returns...from wrestling YESTERDAY. Really?
John Cena joins us to pander to 'Murica with patriotic fervor and passion and pointing to soldiers and what not. The Champ is Here...so come get some. And it is...
KEVIN OWENS OF NXT.
Holy crap. Owens makes his way to the ring and has a mic with him. He congratulates Cena on last night's victory. He introduces himself -- but Cena has to do it instead because reasons. He says that Sami Zayn was injured before he came in to face Cena last Monday -- and he's here to finish the job that Sami started. Cena berates him and plays to the crowd, telling everyone how important they are. Cena wants to give him some advice -- but Owens isn't having it because he's been wrestling longer than Cena and only got his break just now. Cena says it's time to warn Owens instead: Owens is a scared kid. Cena tells Owens that he should come get the title. Owens declines as he says he's already NXT Champion -- but that they will fight someday and it will be on Owens' terms. Owens grabs him and hits the Pump-Up Powerbomb, then stands tall, stepping on the United States Championship and doing "U CAN'T SEE ME" in Cena's face as he lays in the middle of the ring.
(NICE SEGMENT. Owens is already over as hell here. This feud needs to happen ASAP.)
LAST MONDAY ON RAW: Daniel Bryan has vacated the IC Title.
AT ELIMINATION CHAMBER: Rusev, Barrett and R-Truth join the IC Title match.
MATCH #5: Dolph Ziggler vs. Stardust
Ziggler has a bad stitched-up gash near his right eye as Stardust makes it a point to target that area. He gouges Ziggler, then kicks him when he's down. Star goes for Cross Rhodes but Ziggler counters with a Zigg Zagg for the win at 1:27.
WINNER: Dolph Ziggler via Zigg Zagg
RATING: n/a - squash.
Cole leaps right into the ring to interview Ziggler. Ziggler says that losing to Sheamus hurt worse than being cut open last night...but that it's hockey playoff time and chicks dig stars. Cole and his new hair dye job announce that Ziggler's the final participant in the Intercontinental Title Match at EC. Ziggler's stoked...but here comes Lana.
Lana grins at Ziggler and Ziggler waits for her to talk. Instead, she kisses Ziggler and then smiles. Crowd loves this as Ziggler tries everything to he can to just hit that in the middle of the ring. The crowd wants another kiss. Lana obliges. Ziggler waits for the Rusev run-in and finally gets it. Booker: "Somebody's gonna DIE." Ziggler tries to fight him off but Rusev just pounds him into the mat. He turns and faces Lana, screaming at her. Lana just slaps him in the face. Rusev is furious and goes to lunge at Lana but Ziggler gets up and hits the Zigg Zagg. (DANIELLE: So, the end game is Lana in a five-man pre-match gangbang at EC?) Ziggler and Lana leave as Rusev gets up and yells.
Kane is yelling at the set-up crew for Seth Rollins' party...and is immediately outdone by a spot where Adam Rose is making out with Rosa Mendes against a crate.
MATCH #6: Fandango & Zack Ryder vs. Erick Rowan & Luke Harper
Harper starts with Fandango who gets knee'ed in the gut and sells it a year later. Harper hits a shoulder tackle but Fandango comes back with a dropkick. Harper goes outside. Fandango chases only to eat the crowd barrier, courtesy of Harper. Back inside, it's a tag to Rowan who hits a big Body Splash and a knee drop. Harper gets back in and hits an uppercut and Gator Roll as the crowd chants for Zack Ryder. Fandango elbows out of Harper's grip and hits a Tornado DDT off the buckles. Fandango hits a one count and tags in Ryder. Ryder hits forearms and knees Harper in the face off a counter. Big dropkick off the top buckle but Harper just hits a Spinning Sidewalk Slam. Harper hits the Superkick and Rowan hits a Chokeslam to finish it at 3:45.
WINNERS: Harper & Rowan
RATING: n/a - squash
Steph bumps into the Bellas in the hallway. She apologizes to Brie for saying what she said earlier about Daniel Bryan. She says Brie needs to really vent about how she feels about the situation -- so it's probably a good idea if Brie stays backstage during the Divas match. Nikki protests with all the fury of a wounded sloth and we're all supposed to pretend that Nikki and Steph never had an alliance months ago that vanished into thin air.
The Divas Match is your main event, folks.
MATCH #7: Nikki Bella (champion) vs. Naomi (challenger) (w/ Tamina) for the WWE Divas Championship
Naomi leaps into the ring and then chickens out, going outside the ropes. Nikki's pissed and pulls her back into the ring. Naomi comes back with a knee to the head. Nikki answers with a slap to her face and then clotheslines her out of the ring. Nikki dives at both women. We come back from a break. Naomi's in control and Tamina's hurt with a trainer looking at her right arm. Nikki fights out of a hold and bashes Naomi's face with a knee. Nikki gets to her feet and kicks Naomi in the chest. Nikki hits clotheslines and a dropkick, then a back body drop. He puts Naomi to the mat with a press and gets a two count. She goes for the Rack Attack but Tamina shows up and Superkicks Nikki in the chin for the DQ finish at 6:28.
WINNER AND STILL CHAMPION: Nikki Bella via DQ
RATING: DUD. Look...RAW was advertising "three titles on the line" tonight. We got two -- and the Kevin Owens reveal in place of the title shot was a hell of a lot better than the Tag Title or Divas Championship matches combined. We could have easily dumped Ziggler and Stardust for more time in the tag team match...otherwise, this has been a good show.
Post-match, it's a mudhole stomp...until Paige shows up to chase them off. Nikki gets to her feet and Paige grabs her, hitting the Ram-Paige, standing tall with the Divas Championship.
Kevin Owens is backstage. Triple H congratulates him. Renee Young stops him. He says that he's gonna face John Cena at Elimination Chamber.
When we come back, Steph, Triple H and Kane are in the ring. Steph talks up Rollins and invites him to the ring. J&J follow. Triple H just verbally fellates Rollins for the next two minutes and announces him as their champion, Seth Rollins. Triple H says members of The Authority want to TALK about Seth now.
Kane says that he's taller than Rollins and that's why they "don't see eye to eye". He says he's being serious when he says that he's glad that Rollins is still champion. Rollins wants more. So Kane thanks him for saving his job. Also, he put together a Seth Rollins highlight video with the help of the video crew.
After that, Jamie Noble begins kissing ass. He forks the mic over to Joey Mercury and Ambrose FINALLY interrupts this train wreck of a segment. He gets into the ring as Cole loses his collective shit. Steph wants an explanation.
Ambrose says that he was looking for the perfect Justin Bieber album for Seth. Crowd chants for Justin Bieber which has to be the only time in history that's happened. Ambrose says he came back empty-handed. Instead, he wants a re-match. Seth isn't having it and says that Ambrose isn't getting another shot at the title and that he needs to get back in line.
Ambrose says he's a "line jumper". He wants a title shot...or else. Steph says Ambrose is crazy...but Seth never backs down...so, Seth: GET HIM. Rollins goes after Ambrose and J&J follow. Ambrose fights Security off and the fight spills outside. Ambrose dumps Rollins onto the announce table, then reveals cinder blocks. He grabs a chair, steps on Rollins' head and tells The Authority to grant him the match. Steph agrees if Ambrose lets Rollins go. Ambrose goes fro the chair shot anyhow but J&J grab the chair. Ambrose beats the snot out of them. Kane comes over to help. Ambrose takes them all out, then chases Rollins into the ring. Rollins escapes but J&J face his wrath, as does Kane with a Rebound Clothesline. Rollins jumps Ambrose and hits a Pedigree, then yells that he's the man.
We go off the air.
OVERALL: ***1/4. Solid show tonight despite two awful championship matches and two incredibly overlong Authority segments. WWE feels like it's finally finding its way again.
And, of course...the Best of Monday Night Open Mic:
Er...that's it.
Let's go...
We are LIVE(!!!) from Richmond, Virginia!!!
Cole, Booker, and JBL are the guys at the desk.

This gets a small music video of the Elimination Chamber lowering. Steph continues to talk.

Ziggler has a bad stitched-up gash near his right eye as Stardust makes it a point to target that area. He gouges Ziggler, then kicks him when he's down. Star goes for Cross Rhodes but Ziggler counters with a Zigg Zagg for the win at 1:27.
WINNER: Dolph Ziggler via Zigg Zagg
RATING: n/a - squash.
Cole leaps right into the ring to interview Ziggler. Ziggler says that losing to Sheamus hurt worse than being cut open last night...but that it's hockey playoff time and chicks dig stars. Cole and his new hair dye job announce that Ziggler's the final participant in the Intercontinental Title Match at EC. Ziggler's stoked...but here comes Lana.
Lana grins at Ziggler and Ziggler waits for her to talk. Instead, she kisses Ziggler and then smiles. Crowd loves this as Ziggler tries everything to he can to just hit that in the middle of the ring. The crowd wants another kiss. Lana obliges. Ziggler waits for the Rusev run-in and finally gets it. Booker: "Somebody's gonna DIE." Ziggler tries to fight him off but Rusev just pounds him into the mat. He turns and faces Lana, screaming at her. Lana just slaps him in the face. Rusev is furious and goes to lunge at Lana but Ziggler gets up and hits the Zigg Zagg. (DANIELLE: So, the end game is Lana in a five-man pre-match gangbang at EC?) Ziggler and Lana leave as Rusev gets up and yells.
Kane is yelling at the set-up crew for Seth Rollins' party...and is immediately outdone by a spot where Adam Rose is making out with Rosa Mendes against a crate.
MATCH #6: Fandango & Zack Ryder vs. Erick Rowan & Luke Harper
Harper starts with Fandango who gets knee'ed in the gut and sells it a year later. Harper hits a shoulder tackle but Fandango comes back with a dropkick. Harper goes outside. Fandango chases only to eat the crowd barrier, courtesy of Harper. Back inside, it's a tag to Rowan who hits a big Body Splash and a knee drop. Harper gets back in and hits an uppercut and Gator Roll as the crowd chants for Zack Ryder. Fandango elbows out of Harper's grip and hits a Tornado DDT off the buckles. Fandango hits a one count and tags in Ryder. Ryder hits forearms and knees Harper in the face off a counter. Big dropkick off the top buckle but Harper just hits a Spinning Sidewalk Slam. Harper hits the Superkick and Rowan hits a Chokeslam to finish it at 3:45.
WINNERS: Harper & Rowan
RATING: n/a - squash
Steph bumps into the Bellas in the hallway. She apologizes to Brie for saying what she said earlier about Daniel Bryan. She says Brie needs to really vent about how she feels about the situation -- so it's probably a good idea if Brie stays backstage during the Divas match. Nikki protests with all the fury of a wounded sloth and we're all supposed to pretend that Nikki and Steph never had an alliance months ago that vanished into thin air.
The Divas Match is your main event, folks.
MATCH #7: Nikki Bella (champion) vs. Naomi (challenger) (w/ Tamina) for the WWE Divas Championship
Naomi leaps into the ring and then chickens out, going outside the ropes. Nikki's pissed and pulls her back into the ring. Naomi comes back with a knee to the head. Nikki answers with a slap to her face and then clotheslines her out of the ring. Nikki dives at both women. We come back from a break. Naomi's in control and Tamina's hurt with a trainer looking at her right arm. Nikki fights out of a hold and bashes Naomi's face with a knee. Nikki gets to her feet and kicks Naomi in the chest. Nikki hits clotheslines and a dropkick, then a back body drop. He puts Naomi to the mat with a press and gets a two count. She goes for the Rack Attack but Tamina shows up and Superkicks Nikki in the chin for the DQ finish at 6:28.
WINNER AND STILL CHAMPION: Nikki Bella via DQ
RATING: DUD. Look...RAW was advertising "three titles on the line" tonight. We got two -- and the Kevin Owens reveal in place of the title shot was a hell of a lot better than the Tag Title or Divas Championship matches combined. We could have easily dumped Ziggler and Stardust for more time in the tag team match...otherwise, this has been a good show.
Post-match, it's a mudhole stomp...until Paige shows up to chase them off. Nikki gets to her feet and Paige grabs her, hitting the Ram-Paige, standing tall with the Divas Championship.
Kevin Owens is backstage. Triple H congratulates him. Renee Young stops him. He says that he's gonna face John Cena at Elimination Chamber.
When we come back, Steph, Triple H and Kane are in the ring. Steph talks up Rollins and invites him to the ring. J&J follow. Triple H just verbally fellates Rollins for the next two minutes and announces him as their champion, Seth Rollins. Triple H says members of The Authority want to TALK about Seth now.
Kane says that he's taller than Rollins and that's why they "don't see eye to eye". He says he's being serious when he says that he's glad that Rollins is still champion. Rollins wants more. So Kane thanks him for saving his job. Also, he put together a Seth Rollins highlight video with the help of the video crew.
After that, Jamie Noble begins kissing ass. He forks the mic over to Joey Mercury and Ambrose FINALLY interrupts this train wreck of a segment. He gets into the ring as Cole loses his collective shit. Steph wants an explanation.
Ambrose says that he was looking for the perfect Justin Bieber album for Seth. Crowd chants for Justin Bieber which has to be the only time in history that's happened. Ambrose says he came back empty-handed. Instead, he wants a re-match. Seth isn't having it and says that Ambrose isn't getting another shot at the title and that he needs to get back in line.
Ambrose says he's a "line jumper". He wants a title shot...or else. Steph says Ambrose is crazy...but Seth never backs down...so, Seth: GET HIM. Rollins goes after Ambrose and J&J follow. Ambrose fights Security off and the fight spills outside. Ambrose dumps Rollins onto the announce table, then reveals cinder blocks. He grabs a chair, steps on Rollins' head and tells The Authority to grant him the match. Steph agrees if Ambrose lets Rollins go. Ambrose goes fro the chair shot anyhow but J&J grab the chair. Ambrose beats the snot out of them. Kane comes over to help. Ambrose takes them all out, then chases Rollins into the ring. Rollins escapes but J&J face his wrath, as does Kane with a Rebound Clothesline. Rollins jumps Ambrose and hits a Pedigree, then yells that he's the man.
We go off the air.
OVERALL: ***1/4. Solid show tonight despite two awful championship matches and two incredibly overlong Authority segments. WWE feels like it's finally finding its way again.
And, of course...the Best of Monday Night Open Mic:
Er...that's it.
Re: Ambrose vs. Rollins ... This is why I was saying back in October that WWE didn't need to have a definitive "blow off" finish for the Rollins-Ambrose feud (the chapter that ended at Hell In A Cell), because they can take a few months off and pick it back up with the same intensity as before. Rollins-Ambrose isn't a "feud" as much as it's a rivalry that has long-term legs. They can go like this for years, kind of like how HHH and Rock seemed to meet up at every rung on the ladder. If every chapter of their rivalry has a "blow off" finish, eventually it will end up like Orton-Cena, with that "Ugh, AGAIN?!?" feeling instead of looking forward to the next meeting.
ReplyDeleteMan, I thought for sure my "Dean has been kissed so much by Bray that they might be common law in some states. " would've made it.
ReplyDeleteYou suck, Perri! :-)
Dumb question.. So is this Kevin Owens "called up"?
ReplyDeleteSo much for a nice long NXT reign if he is.
ReplyDeleteWait, is this the real Matt Perri or one of the impostors??
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the Cena/Owens segment. Owens looked like he belonged in the ring with Cena.
ReplyDeleteThere's a difference?
ReplyDeleteIt's not the "blow off" finish to Cena/Orton that makes us groan, it's the "blow up" finish.
ReplyDeleteAre there numbers that indicate that people are interested in watching all of these interminable Authority segments?
ReplyDeleteIt's a damn shame that there's an entire generation of wrestling fans who have never a show that wasn't centered around evil authority figures.
ReplyDeleteI still think it's stupid to have so many guys in a potentially match, especially on a non-PPV, but coupled with the Rollins/Ambrose and Owens/Cena matches, this is their strongest card in a long time.
ReplyDeleteNo idea why R-Truth is anywhere near a title.
ReplyDeleteTeddy Long was around on Smackdown.
ReplyDeleteWow when you aren't trying to be funny this is actually readable. Keep the jokes out or in bold where I can skip them and you won't see another complaint about your recaps from me.
ReplyDeletethat evil fuck
ReplyDeleteyou better fucking do what he says Perri
ReplyDeleteI don't know...endless tag team main events are pretty evil, playa.
ReplyDeleteI believe he's just doing the Cena novelty match. It's what Stephanie would probably call, "Corporate synergy."
ReplyDeletethe banality of evil
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh, Time. You funny british asshole.
ReplyDeleteCena has beat the main eventers and the mid-card. So if f the pattern continues, I fully expect him to request the match to be for the NXT title and win it so he can take his talents there.
ReplyDeleteJim Cornette must be shitting bricks today. I never ever thought the day would come when not only does Kevin Steen wrestle in WWE but be gets to come out on Raw and lay out John Cena. In between having a feud with Generico. While Tyler Black is WWE champion. I'm not sure my brain can comprehend this.
ReplyDeleteI honestly think they're just filling a black guy quota
ReplyDeleteI think he disappeared after 'Taker tried killing Paul Bearer at GAB 04 and was sent down to OVW for a while.
ReplyDeleteReally? That doesn't feel good.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I've really enjoyed the Cena open challenge segments. They've been really memorable. I really, really want to see last night's Owens segment. No bullshit.
ReplyDelete"Brie makes speaking seem difficult."
ReplyDeleteThis may have been the line of the month.
Maybe it's akin to how baseball has September call ups.
ReplyDeleteWell he already did, considering how different this report is than most of his others. I forgot that I'm not allowed to express opinions here without a troll following my post.
ReplyDeleteoh toughen up
ReplyDeletehttp://i1.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/004/155/CornetteFace.jpg
ReplyDelete" Not much of a segment and Brie makes speaking seem difficult."
ReplyDeleteWHATEVAR HATUR!
#BRIEMODE
It couldn't be that the shows have been better could it? Or is that crazy talk?
ReplyDeleteIt's more like a prospect being called up while a starter is on the 7 day concussion DL and they use him as a pinch runner and pinch hitter and maybe one start, but they know they're just going to send him down no matter how he does.
ReplyDeleteOwens walked in that ring like he's been there for a decade. Stepping on the US Title and doing the you can't see me bit was fantastic. It's the little things ....
ReplyDeleteThe Ralph Wiggum of WWE Divas, if you will.
ReplyDeleteI have got to see that segment. Hurry up, work hours!
ReplyDeleteA word on Cena. Has there been a "legend" if you will in the history of wrestling who has been so willing to go back down the card and work with nothing but new guys? The closest I can think of is Sting and maybe HBK ... I'm not sure I want to give him too much credit because he is winning every match still. But it's interesting.
ReplyDeleteCorrelation is not causation. Possibly next week if the show sucks and he tries to fill the report with terrible jokes, well then you might have a point.
ReplyDeleteSo now Perri should know what he must do next week:
ReplyDeleteENDLESS JOKES! EVERY LINE SHOULD HAVE A JOKE EMBEDDED IN IT! EVEN IF IT'S JUST THE WORDS "John Edwards", THAT'S A JOKE TOO! GIVE OUT JOKES LIKE YOU'RE OPRAH WITH GIFTS! NEXT WEEK: JOKEAMANIA. AKA THE"John Edwards Appreciation Review".
JOKE!
Ric Flair?
ReplyDeleteWhere in the world...?
ReplyDeleteStop confusing me with big words.
ReplyDeleteOh stop trolling. Sad that I have to spend more time on here responding to your kind. Would rather have debates about wrestling than having to come up with retorts because blog of doomers can't handle people with differing opinions. News flash, if you don't respond to "troll" like posts they stop trolling. I Should take my own advice, but you guys do make me laugh so there's that.
ReplyDeleteYea true he's another
ReplyDeletewah wah martyr just trying to be nice aren't you wah wah wah
ReplyDeleteOh I've missed you so much. Are you here to talk about pedophilia non stop again, or have you matured to gay jokes?
ReplyDeleteYes, every other internet watering hole is a bastion of tolerance and intellectually stimulating conversation.
ReplyDeleteIt can be. I post on multiple wrestling sites who don't share my opinions. This is the only one where I get attacked for it, have people try to spoof my ip in an attempt to get me banned or any of the other silly shit y'all do. Really speaks a lot for the community.
ReplyDeleteI think we're getting close. I see it as like what the cubs did to Kris Bryant. He was dominant in spring training. So they sent him down for no reason except to save money, he didnt gain much from another trip to the minors so they called him back up and continued to be awesome.
ReplyDeleteEvery now and then there's a face authority figure.
ReplyDeleteDo you post on those sites just to insult people too? Because that's pretty much all you do here. That's why people mock you back. I know you've established many times already that you're not remotely self-aware enough to comprehend how you come across to others, but it's worth repeating nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteSorry, man. :) I must have missed it. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yet you choose to keep posting here. Must be the nicotine in the logo.
ReplyDeleteHere's the problem with all of this: You keep acting like you're being persecuted for "having a differing opinion". But basically the only "opinion" you were giving was just you being a dickhead to the writer of this review. If it were actually constructive and not dickish, chances are no one would give a shit. But you're just you, and you know you're going to get it from everyone here because of it, but you keep being you. So really....you must like it....which means....
ReplyDelete*ding ding*
You're the troll.
Not a all sir. However you tend not to read my posts where I don't insult people or defend myself. Try it sometime. You might stop whining!
ReplyDeleteDoes a large number of sycophants backstage count?
ReplyDeleteLike I say each week: either my review is really good and everyone loves it or I suck and should never type on a computer again. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know that that's a super fair comparison. JBL got a ton of shit for not being able to wrestle (which is not true; he was no super worker, but he could hold up his end until his back went on him) and because he won the title by dethroning a smark darling (it only became apparent that Eddie needed to lose the title because we likely would have lost Eddie sooner had they waited).
ReplyDeleteOnly idiots accuse Cena of not knowing how to wrestle and when people chant Cena Sucks, I think it's pretty well understood that it means "The Way John Cena, The Character, Is Being Booked Is Boring And Shitty And We'd Like To See Someone Else Win Every Once And Again."
That doesn't roll off the tongue as well, though.
Naw. You guys make me laugh. Honestly, this is an insular community about a topic that the majority of people couldn't care less about. Meaning your readership is already limited. The fact that you guys actively attack almos every new poster or people with other opinions is hilarious. Keep it up and you'll be just like NPP. If that what you want it's cool.
ReplyDeleteBasically, it's what Adam said on yesterday's Daily Update:
ReplyDeleteThey're being this guy.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Douchebag%20McFucktard
So, I've just started watching last night's Raw on DVR and I'm shocked to find how much I've been enjoying Ryback lately. And really, how much product does Sheamus have to use to keep that mohawk up? I mean, talk about Shea-mousse, amirite?
ReplyDeleteI said I liked the report. Mostly because the jokes are gone. And encouraged him to keep it up. The usual suspects saw me post something so they jumped on me. It's not hard. Now the more I respond the more that will jump in. Like I said you guys are hilarious.
ReplyDeleteYea I could see that. The Mets tried to do that with Syndergaard to keep his super 2 rights, but he's just pitching too well. Such stupid rules. Hopefully Owens doesn't get caught up in the bullshit.
ReplyDeleteI don't really care. I'll forget this as soon as the daily update goes up. But clicking on your profile and scrolling through the last few days of comments, all I see is sarcastic pissy remarks. Where's the niceness? You're even stirring up shit on the hairmetal thread right now!
ReplyDeleteWhen the usual bleeding anuses don't like it, you're doing fine.
ReplyDelete"Wow when you aren't trying to be funny this is actually readable." - Your words.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should re-read your words before posting them, and understand what a dickhead is.
But you already know you were being a dickhead.
I wonder if I should be like:
ReplyDelete"Blah, blah, blah, blah Sheamus comes out and (JOKE WARNING!!! IF YOU DON'T WANNA READ A JOKE BECAUSE YOU ARE JOHN EDWARDS AND HAVE NO SENSE OF HUMOR, PLEASE SKIP THIS SECTION) looks like a piece of Irish Coffee after it's been sitting in my sink for three days!"
You could send out secret decoder rings for the jokes.
ReplyDeleteThis crowd is resolutely pro-Cena, he even set them up to boo him and they didn't really bite. Cena bashing is getting played out. I said that on Mick Foley's FB Sunday and he replied and agreed with me.
ReplyDeleteIf it's any consolation...I really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you my good man.
ReplyDeleteSteph is slowly morphing into 1999 Chyna, its scary
ReplyDeleteWell, I am NOT looking forward to her porn career.
ReplyDeleteIn his defense that other guy was weirdly and specifically and quite aggressively upset at the use of hair metal in a way I've never seen before.
ReplyDeleteI like your jokes...and, as always, thanks for you support, man. :)
ReplyDeleteWell if Mick Foley agreed with you, then you must be right.
ReplyDeleteI'm weirdly, specifically and aggressively upset with you now Art!
ReplyDeleteCena's open challenge is the best part of raw every week.
ReplyDeleteMight want to pick that up... you dropped a name there.
ReplyDeleteSheeeeeit man I'm cool(and the gang). You need to be like the Fonz.
ReplyDelete"Meaning your readership is already limited."
ReplyDeleteIf you saw the numbers the blog pulls in as I do each day, you'd know that's not even remotely true...
Undertaker did it a lot with the new monster. From 1992-1996. But sporadically he would do it in his later career. His feud with Cena in 2003 and his feud with Khali and Kennedy in 2006 as well.
ReplyDeleteĢć
ReplyDeleteLana definitely dropping the Russian a bit, but it was like she wasn't sure how to do the accent for certain sentences. Also, she seemed to be dropping a lot more cleavage than she usually does in her outfits.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, 1999 Chyna ain't so bad. Could be worse. Could be post-2002 Chyna.
ReplyDeleteI'm tapering off my meds. My emotions are all over the place! I love you Art!
ReplyDeleteIt's the only reason that makes sense. They put him in the Mania ladder match out of nowhere, the KOTR out of nowhere, now this... it's purely to get a black guy involved IMO
ReplyDelete*slaps you* Rani you ignorant slut. The Blog would never allow this.
ReplyDeletedon't want people to see me like this :(
ReplyDeleteNoticed that too, I enjoy him a lot more now he's having fresh, solid matches every week and keeping out of the main event scene
ReplyDeleteRock? Hell, he even lost to some of them.
ReplyDeleteWell it's basically become Cena vs. NXT, and there's nothing wrong with that as long as it makes the NXT guys look good.
ReplyDeleteLordy doo are you a cunt lol
ReplyDelete" I said that on Mick Foley's FB Sunday and he replied and agreed with me."
ReplyDeleteLOL is that supposed to be impressive or something?
Would be 50% less impressive if he replied and disagreed

What is 50% less than 0?
ReplyDeleteMark!
ReplyDeleteThe pop-up powerbomb might be my favourite powerbomb.
ReplyDeleteI've watched Edwards be a prick for no reason a hundred times. This really wasn't one of them lol.
ReplyDeleteThe whole world is out to get you man. There's all of us. And then there's you. The lone hero.
ReplyDeleteKeep fighting the good fight for malcontents everywhere.
And, yet, I can already see Super Cena pulling a Frankensteiner out of his arsenal to counter it. :-/
ReplyDeleteOne time I met Sgt. Slaughter and I told him that it was cool that he was on GI Joe. He agreed with me.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but if he did, it'll look like shit like whenever Cena tries to pull out something new.
ReplyDeleteLook at his dropkick!
That was great to watch,
ReplyDeleteIf he called you a maggot then we'd really be in cool territory.
ReplyDelete"They'll be released in regularly scheduled interviews..." Best misquote of the night by Cole.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest problem with Raw being so good lately, IMO, is that I can't FF through a show in 45 minutes or so. I'm actually interested in watching.
Like the Springboard Stunner.
ReplyDeleteLife is much easier when you praise the show Matt.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry though, we started a big fight in the comments section anyway
ReplyDeleteThe tag team Elimination Chamber match will start out with New Day and Prime Time Players in the ring for one simple reason: Titus and Big E are both too big to share one of those pods.
ReplyDeleteDude...it's the same review. I even threw in about a half dozen jokes (including two from Danielle) and a couple of rants. And the reason why the tone is different is because the show was a hell of a lot better this time around.
ReplyDeleteOn a separate note: you've been calling me shitty for the past few weeks...and you keep coming back here -- just as I said you do. So, I've come to the obvious conclusion that it isn't because I'm "shitty", it's because you simply don't agree with me and hate it when I rip WWE. And that's fine. I have no problems with you having a differing opinion.
Just do me a favor and be more honest with me and yourself.
Hey, do you guys remember that one RAW that started with the buys guys in charge talking, but then were interrupted by the good guys, only to have the bad guys put them in a match as punishment?
ReplyDeleteOh, I can't wait for you to be insulted!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really dumb fight. Just take the kinda-compliment and move on.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the humblebrag. This should go well.
ReplyDeleteI like having Edwards around. Even when he doesn't do anything the place goes berserk.
ReplyDeleteThat is possibly the most unhappy person I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do. As I told him, I actually am not here to argue with him. I just think it's funny because it's a pattern with him. According to him, if I hate the show, I suck. If I LIKE it, the review is great and he's happy. The issue is that he can't admit that, thus the behavior repeats.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said above: this was Edwards at his least backhanded. But it's still backhanded, which was what Belee was pointing out.
As compliments go, it was rather backhanded and insulting
ReplyDeleteWhen did Rowan and Harper get back together? Have they reunited with Wyatt?
ReplyDelete"Humblebrag"? No, I'm speaking for Scott's entire site. Not just this page.
ReplyDeleteIt was. But not enough to continue our string of Raw thread disasters.
ReplyDeleteThis is also correct,
ReplyDeleteMAY 19TH!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteControversy creates cash! I read that once from someone whose company went out of business.
ReplyDeleteYou're allowed to express your opinions, just like everyone else is allowed to call you a douchebag when you're being a douchebag.
ReplyDeleteAs of last week and, nope, it's a tag team act so far.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, pretty much every topic imaginable is one that the majority of people couldn't care less about.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, you knocked the response to him out of the park,
ReplyDeleteThat was close the thread down brilliant.
SHHHHHHH!
ReplyDeleteAww, bless ya Rock.
ReplyDeleteBayless has put the Daily Update up, let's all bail on this one!
They're arguing over hair metal...HAIR METAL.
ReplyDeleteSounds like they're getting desperate and going all out with this Elimination Chamber show. I'm not going to say hey they've got their shit together just yet, we felt that way last year too and just watched everything fall apart by Summerslam so we'll see.
ReplyDeleteTonight proved Owens has no business in developmental and could be plugged into a main event program at any time. Him Zayn and Balor should all be on Raw right now.
I saw two jokes. In bold. They were not funny.
ReplyDeleteAll 6-8 regulars that troll me yes. Same people same shitty arguments.
ReplyDeleteOk, last time it's the last time I tell you this : back off or else ....
ReplyDeleteCool, Edwards. I expected that. Oh, also, don't mind the troll account "threatening" you again.
ReplyDeleteShow me unique page views vs unique posters. That'll give you agony how many people lurk compared to how many willingly subject themselves to the actual comment section.
ReplyDeleteKeep this up and you'll see
ReplyDeleteLol. Stirring up shit? Because I called out the dude who was obviously mentally ill flipping out about how you are calling it hair metal? Wow. It's all my fault you're right. A right cunt is still a cunt.
ReplyDeleteI can see page views. Scott would have to give you the exact analytics as he's the site admin.
ReplyDeleteAngle was injured and doing the Professor X deal at that time, he wasn't an option either. I also think, in hindsight, JBL was a great heel champion. He may have been death for ratings/buyrates and PPV quality main events, but his character fit the long title reign perfectly.
ReplyDeleteand also go fuck yourself, you don't get to make demands you stupid troll
ReplyDeleteJust shut up for fuck sake
ReplyDeleteYou are the biggest troll around here, and like I told you last time, keep this up and there will be consequences ...
ReplyDeleteYou don't get to tell me what to do fake perri.
ReplyDeletei'm the real deal bro
ReplyDeleteSounds like you don't know anything about wrestling
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've got a twin again. Just think the difference between people who read and people who post would surprise people here. As would unique page view counts for each writer.

you might be right
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know. The guy doesn't give up. He'll have ten more ID's before the day is through. I've just learned to ignore him. The problem is that he starts following random people in order to get attention. Sorry about that. If you get anyone threatening you or calling you names, it's not me.
ReplyDeleteI know the difference between the posts. I'm not quite sure how it works...all I know is that this particular post is at around 1100 right now. So is Bayless's. My Payback review was at 3K. The updates get around 2K and all the other posts average around 1,000 hits a piece. As I said, Scott would have to look into it and get back to you with specifics because I don't have any way to see that data for myself.
well i am
ReplyDeleteHe has been burying the whole roster and now that there no one else available he started going after the NXT guys ... Owens is undefeated in NXT but will loose like a bitch to Cena ...smh
ReplyDeleteMan...I wanna copy/paste this and add this to next week's review.
ReplyDelete*fart noise*
ReplyDeleteTo be fair though, it even failed in that respect. JBL beat the piss out of Cena for 11 minutes straight before he hit the FU OUTTA NOWHERE~! and won the match.
ReplyDeleteDon't mind the troll account...he'll be gone in a few.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the real one...he'll be there for a while.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly
ReplyDeleteCena can take a loss to Owens to start with
ReplyDeleteIf there’s anyone who can take a loss, it’s him.
And yes, I have him go after Rollins – but Rollins is too protected still, and Brock wants the same prey. That’s what ends up bringing the Authority crashing down, and here I have Owens either put down Triple H or retire Kane (cleaning up the picture), before going back after Rollins when Brock returns to hibernation, and yes, I have KO beat Rollins and win the belt this autumn (which is also when KO leaves NXT for good, after one last appearance with both belts there).
This as part of setting up a picture where the Authority has ceased to exist as a relevant force, KO has the belt but will be in Brock’s crosshairs (and guess who is the one guy who beats KO in a straight fight?), Bray Wyatt can actually outpsych someone like KO and become someone you really fear, Cena and Orton are both veterans you can use to put others over, Dean and Roman have to stick together but hold their ground and one holds the Money in the Bank, and Seth becomes a darker and actual younger cerebral assassin.
WWE (by basis of having the title and being the number one contender) Let KO win the money in the bank case, let him win the rumble, but don’t just let him randomly show up and beat up your world champ and numebr one contender.. thats silly
ReplyDeleteTo be clear : No, I do not get sexually excited by what people on an Internet message board think. I just enjoy wrestling, and when something that bothers me happens I voice my opinion, like the rest of the site.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately this community is about as accepting as the Aryan movement. If something or someone is different or doesn't agree, you label him or her a troll and try to expunge them. It's quite sad and elItist of posters here.
Meanwhile, James Gibson is Tyler Black's stooge... can't win 'em all.
ReplyDelete*Former tag champs* Kenzo and Rene Dupree you surely left out by mistake.
ReplyDeleteThe problem was there was no buildup for us to buy it. I think he did everything he could but they just told us that he was not a midcarder and he was a world champion level guy. You can't do that - you have to make the audience believe that he belongs in that tier.

ReplyDeleteshe should raid Debra's old wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteMaybe with live crowds, but he didn't seem to do much for ratings or buyrates.*
ReplyDelete*I haven't looked that up in a while, I just have a general memory of him not drawing,
Please be my friend. I'm lonely.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Heyman get fired from Smackdown for listening in on the Raw creative call before Wrestlemania? When he tells the story they were planning Wrestlemania but he lasted a while on television after that.
ReplyDeleteThey had him turn heel an lay out Terry Funk, and he went over Vader clean...I can't remember how all that stuff with Taka turned out. I don't recall him losing a lot, at least not cleanly, but he was just sort of there until they put him in the APA.
ReplyDeleteI think Bray Wyatt will take out R Truth next Monday and take his spot at Chamber. Why would Ryback be in it and not Bray?
ReplyDeleteNot really. Just mentioned it. Seems like this would be the place for that sorta thing, no?
ReplyDeleteEh he hit his limit. I never fell in love wi th his ring work, a little meat and potatoes for someone thst athletic. Very good, but not great.
ReplyDeleteWatching old PPVs (and particularly Rumbles), Bradshaw consistently scored big wins with the Clothesline, and Faarooq definitely ate more falls. In Rumbles, Faarooq often went out in minutes, while Bradshaw got long runs.
ReplyDeleteMatch quality.
ReplyDeleteDaaamn, they really aren't waiting til next years Mania to throw Owens through the Cenagrinderlolol
ReplyDeleteHe's been amazing.
ReplyDeleteSo are you a prick or just portray one on the net?
ReplyDeleteWhich it has.
ReplyDeleteI merely portray one myself, fwiw.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know that? I assume he gets the same low NXT salary everyone gets
ReplyDeleteHuh?
