Comments

  1. Since everyone and their mother can see the main event ending coming a mile away, what are the odds that they swerve us and put the belt on someone else, so that Cena can win it back tomorrow night? You know...just to go with something...ANYTHING different.

  2. That 'Best of the Worst' on the Brawl For All got me. I started cackling uncontrollably when Bart got knocked all the way to All Japan.

    ReplyDelete
  3. The jungle of Tampa, FL?

    ReplyDelete
  4. I don't doubt at all that it started off as a shoot, but I wonder how legit those last Bart Gunn KOs were? Were those legit, too, or was Bradshaw taking a dive?

    ReplyDelete
  5. The fact that Cameron was the only person from that Tough Enough series to make the main roster is a joke.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I can't wait; the funkadactyles match should be the moty

    ReplyDelete
  7. Love the set for this PPV. Really unique.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Even the Miss USA chick seemed 10 times the prospect than she did.


    Never underestimate the power of blow jobs i guess!

    kickoff is fandango vs rose

    ReplyDelete
  11. Not a bad card actually.

    ReplyDelete
  12. "It favors everyone but John Cena."

    Yeah. But they aren't John Cena. And CenaWinsLOL

    ReplyDelete
  13. I thought the guy who got runner-up would've made a good heel. I heard they had that huge dude win because he was already under contract. Such a great show with Austin, but awful for execution because Network execs started to dictate who was cut and the WWE picked the wrong people. Go figure!

    ReplyDelete
  14. That's the role that Rose should be playing. He should be the guy that gets the crowds going.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yay! My favorite announce team of all time!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Is Disco Inferno going to come back for a one off?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Unscheduled pre-show match!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Wouldn't a four way be better under elimination rules?

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think they should give Christian an opportunity as a color commentator. He seems comfortable on the mic and such.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Take a drink every time we hear "Mountain Dew" tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Put the belt on Fandango.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Can't protect Reigns that way.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Uncrusimatic_Buck_NastyJuly 20, 2014 at 5:35 PM

    jbl really has a limited moveset when it comes to commentary

    ReplyDelete
  24. I will. I'll drink Big K in protest!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I prefer elimination but I don't know if one way is better than the other.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Was still on fringes of watching at that point. What was the deal with the winner? Maybe misremembering but he comes out, makes an ass of himself, pisses off Vince and Austin in the ring, gets stunned and is never seen again? What was the point?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Dq/ count out/ run-in

    ReplyDelete
  28. MikeyMike, WitnessJuly 20, 2014 at 5:36 PM

    For once lol.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Yeah, putting Layla and Summer Rae with Rose is really going to save him.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Uncrusimatic_Buck_NastyJuly 20, 2014 at 5:36 PM

    werent layla and summer rae acting like heels on sd?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Uncrusimatic_Buck_NastyJuly 20, 2014 at 5:36 PM

    that's not very pg, jbl

    ReplyDelete
  32. And weren't they with Dolph? Rose is stealing Dolph's heat!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I question the wisdom of developing angles on Twitter.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Having 10 people come out with rose doesn't make me like him

    ReplyDelete
  35. Cole: It's Adam Rose's birthday!
    JBL: Who cares?


    Yup.

    ReplyDelete
  36. MikeyMike, WitnessJuly 20, 2014 at 5:37 PM

    Layla is so so hot.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Guy was big but couldn't wrestle.


    WWE LOVES guys like that! Sort of like how hot chicks love bad boys.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Yes. I love elimination matches. I've always hated the triple threat/fatal four way stipulation where one fall wins the whole thing.

    ReplyDelete

  40. Virgil's Gimmick TableJuly 20, 2014 at 5:37 PM

    He might injure his jaw from talking though.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I'm sure this would be somehow compelling if anybody gave two shits about Fandango anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  42. What if... he came out with 15 people?! 20?

    ReplyDelete
  43. My fav is when Benoit/y2j made austin submit but austin wasn't eliminated.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Predictions:


    -No contest on Ambrose/Rollins. They'll brawl violently and either both get counted out or get double DQ'd.
    -Wyatt over Jericho because LOLJerichoLoses
    -Swagger over Rusev so they can send Rusev back to NXT to repackage him. Apparently, they want to put the kibosh on his gimmick with the recent Ukraine events.
    -AJ over Paige.
    -Ceasaro wins Battle Royal.
    -Wyatts beat Usos, but it's gonna be a hell of a match.
    -LOLCenaWins

    ReplyDelete
  45. "Fandango cannot believe what is going on here"


    He isn't alone.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Rose just has such a generic moveset. He'd better come up with something unique.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Why not?


    He can win 2 falls that way and still lose. Much better than Kane chockslamming him through a table while John Cena AA's Randy Orton.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I doubt he'd win it back the next night. If they take it off him tonight (big if), it's probably because Brock winning the title now makes absolutely no sense unless he signed for more dates, and Cena beating Brock makes even less sense.

    ReplyDelete
  49. That's a DQ ref! DQ HIM!

    ReplyDelete
  50. That should be a DQ win for Fandango!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Uncrusimatic_Buck_NastyJuly 20, 2014 at 5:38 PM

    HOLY SQUASH, BATMAN

    ReplyDelete
  52. If they are doing that stupid song, it would make me want to punch all of them

    ReplyDelete
  53. So are they ever gonna let NXT call-ups wrestle longer than 4 minutes matches?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Go ahead and release Fandango. He's not doing anything, has lost his entrance, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Is adding Summer Ray and Layla and upgrade for Rose or a downgrade for the broads?

    ReplyDelete
  56. Debut = going over Jericho at a WM.

    Current match = job to doomed gimmick on preshow.

    That's a long fall.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I think Rollins goes over but with interference from Kane or something like that to protect Ambrose. Have a blow-off match at SS.

    ReplyDelete
  58. And where is this angle even going? What possible way can it end that helps anybody?

    ReplyDelete
  59. Did Hugh Morrus ever break 5 minutes?

    ReplyDelete
  60. I don't know if I want to see Rose in a match longer than 4 minutes. But I get your point.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I approve of Layla's new bouncing gimmick.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Pre Show: "So, who does everyone predict wins in the main event?" "John Cena." "John Cena." "John Cena. There you have it, John Cena retains the title." Geez, even WWE acknowledges it before the show even starts. Unless that means he's actually going to drop it tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Yeah, that's my secondary prediction for that match.

    ReplyDelete
  64. They have like 10 hours of TV each week but still focus on 2-3 minute matches for all the guys that get called up. Makes no sense.

    ReplyDelete
  65. It's almost as if they shouldn't have wasted whatever credibility Jericho had left, isn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  66. I think he failed a wellness test in developmental after that. He wasn't that good either. And yeah, having him fell a slap from Vince like getting blasted by a shotgun (he actually bumped from that!) didn't help him.

    ReplyDelete
  67. MikeyMike, WitnessJuly 20, 2014 at 5:40 PM

    I approve with her enhancements.

    ReplyDelete
  68. My dad thinks Cena is dropping the belt tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Are you guys pumped to see Cena pin Kane tonight?

    ReplyDelete
  70. Yeah, I'm just confused by it.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, but I don't care for JBL.

    ReplyDelete
  72. So the preshow is on now, I assume? Totally legit, legal, and in no way pirated streams don't show those. =/

    ReplyDelete
  73. Uncrusimatic_Buck_NastyJuly 20, 2014 at 5:41 PM

    i see magoonie!

    right there!

    that guy!

    with the clothes!

    ReplyDelete
  74. I saw it pointed out somewhere (Uproxx maybe?) that one major problem with NXT call ups like Rose is when they're down in NXT, they keep adding little things to the gimmick as time goes on, making it feel fresh, but on Raw, it's just the exact same thing over and over and over until people get sick of it.

    ReplyDelete
  75. You think Jericho had a talk with Triple H or whoever clearly saying... "I'll be happy to put the guy over... if you're actually going to do something with him. Don't 'Fandango' Bray Wyatt."

    ReplyDelete
  76. What a thorn in authority's side that Cena is with all his make a wish appearances and his squeeky-clean image. He's truly a corporate public relations nightmare.

    ReplyDelete
  77. More like should have actually done something with the gimmick. But, either way is correct.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Watch Orton eat the pin...just because.

    ReplyDelete
  79. How do they go about just, announcing that nights are "historic" for no particular reason? How dumb to they think their audience is?

    *A disturbance is heard in the back as Vinson's French valet walks into the locker room as kbjone is giving an interview. She flirts with him and as he starts thinking with the wrong head she hits him in the face with a fireball. She retrieves the tag belt as Vinson takes the mic from the interviewer.*


    BURN BITCH!! BURN LIKE YOU JUST HAD A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH LITA!!!! I told you that you aren't allowed to have nice things!


    *Turns to camera as my valet puts the boots to kbjone*

  100. Tobes of Hades, lit by flickering torchlight

    The netherworld is gathered in the glare
    Beard Money takes the cavern to the north light

    The sign of Eth is rising in the air


    Beard Money, knight of darkness

    Centurion of evil, devil's prince



    Across the River Styx, out of the lamplight

    His nemesis is waiting at the gate

    PrimeTimeTen, ermine glowing in the damp night

    Coal-black eyes shimmering with hate


    Beard Money and PrimeTimeTen

    Square for battle, let the fray begin



    The battle's over and the dust is clearing

    Disciples of PrimeTimeTen sound the knell

    Rejoicing echoes as the dawn is nearing

    Beard Money, in defeat, retreats to Hell


    PrimeTimeTen is victorious

    The land of the Overworld is saved again.

  104. (Archie sits in the boiler room. He bleeds from the forehead but doesn't seem to notice. We see him sitting at a workbench, and hear a faint clanging sound underneath him.)


    "Tonight, masked one, tonight I showed you a glimpse....of Riverdale.


    But clearly, our story remains unfinished, masked one. I would give you credit, devil, if I ever considered for a moment that you deserved anything more than my scorn. My utter contempt.


    My hatred.


    Uncle Caliber, Uncle Caliber! You didn't warn me about the masked one, did you, Uncle Caliber? You told me that I would be tested on the road to redeeming your name, you told me I was your chosen apostle, YOU TOLD ME!"


    (Archie slams his left fist on the table. Looks up and breathes.)


    "Forgive me for doubting, Uncle Caliber. Even a momentary loss of faith on the road to RIverdale is unacceptable. I pay penance to you, Uncle Caliber."


    (Archie SLAMS his own head into the workbench! The cut on his forehead starts to flow with blood, easily a .6 Muta.)


    "So, where were we, masked one? Ah, yes. Your road to RIverdale, masked one. You've begun your journey along the speckled cobblestones that will bring your to the light, but it's clear to me that you need a....helping hand.


    Archie Stackhouse is a gentleman above all, masked one. Educated in the finest of manners by Uncle Caliber, During my sessions at the Winfield Dungeon, he strove to make me the most complete of all men, and he warned me that others might not be as....receptive to his messages as I was.


    I lapped up my lessons like a kitten sups his milk, masked one, and now I know what I must do. You've seen the darkness of Archie Stackhouse's world, masked one, and now I must do my duty to Uncle Caliber and GM Bayless and bring you to the light."


    (The CLANGING intensifies beneath Archie's feet. He looks down and smiles.)


    "Let me introduce you to a dear friend of mine from Riverdale, masked one."


    (Archie pulls out a crowbar stained with blood. The curved end is wrapped in barbed wire.)


    "This is Jughead, masked one! He's ever so eager to make your acquaintance, to become your friend, your....blood brother. And Jughead is hungry, masked one.


    Keep your kitchen utensils, masked one. Once I break all of your fingers, it's doubtful you'll be able to use anything other than a straw for nourishment. Once I snap your neck like a twig, you'll be little more than lollipop for the children of Riverdale to point and stare at - the world's largest dessert treat!


    Our game of capture the flag is over, masked one. I will remove your mask so you can finally SEE the glory that is Riverdale. I do this for you. I do this for Uncle Caliber. I do this for GM Bayless.


    I do this because it is my purpose. It is my mission.


    Tomorrow night, at BOD Raw, the first stage of Riverdale begins. All the way to BOD Summerslam, we'll walk together down the road and tour the sights of Riverdale together, all the way through the final stage of your own personal flames.


    You think this war is over, masked one? We've only just begun. Jughead and myself will see to it.


    Welcome to Hell. Welcome....to Riverdale."
