Tonight on the Network, it's Main Event at 8:00 ET, Wrestlemania Rewind at 9:00 featuring the Mysterio/Angle/Orton triple threat match from WM XXII, and Countdown at 10:00 featuring the top ten "riveting rivalries".
Also, a full slate of MLB games this evening.
Also, a full slate of MLB games this evening.
With more time that Triple Threat could have been something really special. They still rocked the house with just 9 minutes. But those divas had to have that pillow fight.
ReplyDeleteIs there a main event etched in WWE's history that is more forgettable than Punk vs. Miz vs. Del Rio at TLC 2011?
ReplyDeleteSo the SummerSlam card is looking something like...
ReplyDeleteCena vs. Brock (WWE World Heavyweight Championship of the World)
Reigns vs. Orton
Ambrose vs. Rollins
Jericho vs. Bray Wyatt
Miz vs. Ziggler (IC title)
Sheamus vs. Rusev (US title)
The Usos vs. Harper/Rowan (tag team titles)
AJ vs. Paige (Divas title)
Well worth my $9.99.
ReplyDeleteRollins vs. Fandango on Main Event. Who's the babyface?
ReplyDeleteSay what you will about The Miz, but the man is surprisingly durable. The only time I recall him missing ring time due to injury was for a few days after his sick WM27 concussion. He even sucked it up like a champ the night after Kofi Kingston blasted him in the head on RAW to drop the title to him in an even better match on Main Event.
ReplyDeleteI just found out that Big Show and Randy Orton main evented Survivor Series.
ReplyDeleteBut he misses 9 months a year doing movie stuff.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking the same thing. When did Fandango turn face?
ReplyDeleteThe way WWE portrays women, I could actually see them thinking Fandango is the sympathetic one in the Summer-Layla deal. Oh those crazy chicks...
ReplyDeleteMiz v. Cena, take your pick.
ReplyDeleteI noticed last night that Brock is starting to look a little old in the face. What is he, 35?
ReplyDeleteIt just occured to me -- did the Undertaker ever score a win on Brock Lesnar?
ReplyDeleteCool video from the DDPYoga Retreat: Dedication to Daniel Bryan

Monday: HHH cuts a promo making fun of fans for bitching about wrestling on social media.
ReplyDeleteTuesday: WWE promotes how Battleground was the most active TV show on social media.
SMH
but not my $49.99
ReplyDeleteFor the WWE Countdown tonight, knowing the previous ones, I'm willing to bet Cena v Orton for the title has to be on there. It has main evented so many ppvs so the fans must want it over and over again.
ReplyDeleteI posted this in the RAW recap thread, but ... I don't know why WWE won't use Cena and Nikki Bella's real-life relationship to their benefit, especially right now when it makes perfect sense and could get Cena even more over as a babyface.
ReplyDeleteCena is kinda-sorta feuding with the Authority, and the Authority is terrorizing his girlfriend, and not once has he ever come out to help her. Cena stopping last night's 4-on-1 beatdown on Nikki would have worked. Andy PG asked what was he supposed to do, since men can't hit women in WWE anymore, but Cena wouldn't have had to hit anybody. As soon as his music hits the girls would've froze, and when he came bolting down the ramp they would've scattered. He picks up Nikki in his arms, gives Stephanie the death glare, walks Nikki back to safety and is the biggest babyface ever.
Gentleman the fun will now begin... assuming I don't fall asleep before 9pm like last night
ReplyDeleteMiz in general receives far more criticism than he deserves.
ReplyDeleteIt makes no sense that HHH wants the belt off of Cena. To compound the stupidity, he wants the belt onto Brock.
ReplyDeleteI find it funny that 2 of these are rematches from the last PPV... though I think it is going to be Rybaxel/Uso's
ReplyDeleteHe just wants what's BEST FOR BUSINESS
ReplyDeleteBut Brock is the bigger star; he can wear the title whenever he is doing interviews or UFC stuff just like with the Miz's recent IC title win.
ReplyDeletebecause no one really likes Cena Bella. And Cena Bella and CEna together would be the biggest heels in the WWE
ReplyDeleteWonder if they feed Orton to Brock leading up to summerslam. Kinda nonsensical that getting jumped costs him a title match
ReplyDeleteI have a theory about this: everyone knows that wrestling is scripited ("fake") but not eveyone realizes that reality shows are scripted ("fake"), too. So if something from the fake wrestling show is used in the thought-to-be-legit reality show, it will expose the reality show as fake.
ReplyDeleteIt occurs to me that I'm seeing shitloads of new posters all over the place.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool and all.
No sense. If HHH and Steph applauded Cena being on the cover of WWE 2K15 ... making him literally the face of WWE to the mainstream public ... why would they have a problem with him being the champ?
ReplyDeleteAnd you made fun of me for going to bed at 10!
ReplyDeleteMan say what you will but Heath Slater sure OWNS the stupid shit they give him. Perfectly acceptable JTTS
ReplyDeleteHe's about to get beat up by a gang of black guys.
ReplyDeleteI've been saying that same thing for a year. Slater and 3MB were great.
ReplyDeleteI think he gets the "token white guy Owen" role.
ReplyDeleteI'm expecting Titus to turn on Slater and join Xavier Woods' new crew. They already kinda teased Heath turning babyface in the IC title battle royal.
ReplyDeleteI didn't choose to go to bed I randomly fell asleep (and slept all the way until it was time for work this morning) that is different because... well because a Top 5'er said so!
ReplyDeleteExcept the gimmick ones.
ReplyDeleteSummer time posting.
ReplyDeleteThis irks me to death. They can't even explain it in the storyline. Just "we don't want Cena to have it".
ReplyDeleteHas Slater always had the shitty tattoos?
ReplyDeletegood match building up Reigns against Del Rio: make him look credible by beating former champs.
ReplyDeleteThey probably view Brock/Orton as a money match and won't waste it on Raw.
ReplyDeleteThey'll instead have Brock standing next to Heyman while he cuts his promos, which is a great use of his exorbatant price tag.
Yes, he was born with them.
ReplyDeletecould be the sporting news effect
ReplyDelete:: Sigh ::
ReplyDeleteHas he always had the shitty tattoos since he was on TV?
They've used "real" Total Divas storylines to drive the wrestling angles already, though. Summer slapping Natalya on her front porch, for example.
ReplyDeleteSo is NoD 2.0 supposed to be a heel stable?
ReplyDeleteNow would be a greattime for Kofi to to cut a promo ditching his "slave name" of Kofi Kingston in favor of something better sounding. And also to dump the stupid fake Jamacian gimmicks.
ReplyDeleteNO.
ReplyDeleteHeheh, I'm sorry I can't help myself sometimes...
ReplyDeleteAnd I think he's gotten some new ink since he's debuted, yeah.
Hadn't even thought of that, but good call. It seems weird that there are so many at once, unless I'm just imagining things.
ReplyDeleteWhich happens.
I guess. They're black. Someone said as much last night on the live thread.
ReplyDeleteYou think Vince McMahon is gonna book a bunch of black guys in a group to be babyfaces?
ReplyDeleteKofi's offense isn't going to work as a heel, he will need to adapt.
