Yeah it is funny all the people on my Twitter posting all the racist stuff the WWE has done in the last 30 years. So many Roddy Piper half black face pictures

Yeah there has to be more to this than just that rant from a couple years ago based on the legendary Booker T promo. I mean hell the segment on the pre show of Battleground with the New Day/Booker T/Byron Saxton was more offensive than some tragically white guy not knowing whether to put a 'GER' or 'GA' after the N word to rap stars Another rumor is that it may be related to the Gawker lawsuit and something came out of that

Either Fale changed his ring gear or gain about 30 pounds in the last 2 months because he looked more awful then usual I can't tell if Shibata has incredible ability to not feel pain or he isn't as badly injured as we thought because except for having to use his teeth to put on a move he didn't really seem to have any lingering effects. Something tells me that won't be the same in about 3 weeks Given how awful Block A is except for Styles, Ibushi, Shibata, and in some ways Tanahashi; I don't understand the logic of putting 2 of the only 4 to 6 matches people care about on first show. I guess for the big time feel of first night I understand that picking on Meltzer for undying love of New Japan is old gimmick but listening to him gush about how incredible Tanahashi post match celebration is just weird. I can live with have a Guitar Hero gimmick if the crowd loves it but he doesn't do it very well. Plus it isn't like he is the first person to wipe stuff from his body on a towel/paper and give it to fans. I mean New Jack was doing that with tickets and shirts over 15 years ago. of course it was blood and gross.

Yeah a little worrisome that you put Kevin Owens in the same circle with Bo Dallas and Jack Swagger and the Ascension It is a little encouraging that Taker can do that segment without passing out from exhaustion or a number of other issues. Now hoping Taker doesn't cut a concussion in the first 2 minutes like last time

It has probably been done before but I loved Brock's strategy of just avoiding the 50 jobbers in the ring and running around the ring to get to Taker. Never seen that one before. God for a huge man he is so quick

Johnny Sorrow hating the main event and Taker run in might be the shocking thing in PTBN history. by the way I am sure that the "fuck" counter was over 100 from one person alone

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Meltz was correct but the idea that ring apron spots = Ring of Honor/indy wrestling is just beyond stupid. Now 5 - 10 super kicks a match = Ring of Honor/indy wrestling wouldn't be that unrealistic

Okay I am largely in agreement with Meltz on how the WWE is viewing Ring of Honor right now. But the idea that there was 7 or 8 ring apron shots in this PPV because it is related to Ring of Honor is almost as serious stretch as the Makabe "high level of work" for having a shitty match against Ishii theory. Besides nobody is that stupid to think "if we can only get these ring apron bumps then ROH fans will stop watching their product"

I am wondering how much that Sting vs Taker Summerslam match was actually going to happen. And if it was going to happen, what made them change their minds

Man Darren Young can't catch a break

I am baffled that Rollins could not at least get the pin. It was like the world title doesn't mean anything. they could have done months of "I beat Brock ALL BY MYSELF" promos for more heat

Well you would think so based on the nut shot to Brock but based on the crowd reaction it would be a terrible idea AND THAT IS THE END OF THE SHOW

I like this option better. Although apparently Rollins and the ref has disappeared

God damn it Lesnar did a perfect jump over the barricade. If I was in the first row and I saw that I would shit myself and run like a girl

The more they say "he is all alone", the more it is guaranteed that there will be a load of interference in this match. Which is really the only way they can go in this match. Nobody actually believe that Rollins could beat Brock

I don't think that counts as a turn but I believe someone actually counted that and was easily over 20

Lets be honest. If this match was on a PWG or Ring of Honor show people like Jim Ross would be bitching and complaining for months and month on it. Not saying it is bad because I think this has been fun Well hopefully Owens is winning the belt at NXT Takeover because if not then I am not sure what is next for him. Cena winning isn't awful but we may think differently in a couple months

Really pushing this Michael Cole and Kevin Owens thing. Seems like this is a running bit for Kevin in the WWE. If it turns into the RAW version of the Alex Riley angle then I approve.

Lawler trying to use the same justification people had for Hogan in the 80's. Like Cena needs support

Whew not only was I wrong but they got the right person to quit

God this really feels like a Brie win. I hope I am wrong as usual

Love the idea that the commentators have no clue who the guy in the hoodie was. I mean because most of the roster looks like Luke Harper for christ sake Oh well at least Harper vs Reigns should be fun matches

Jesus there has to have been 4 spots on the side of the ring in the 1st hour of the PPV. Is Gabe booking this show?

Sounds like St. Louis is the "we are going to boo Roman Reigns because that is the cool thing to do" crowd

Would rather hear from Becky than Charlotte. She may have gotten her father's ability but her promo skills so far Reigns vs Bray worries me. This should be booked like a Raven vs Dreamer match when Raven gets the piss beat out of him but sneaks out a win. Probably won't
