I fail to realize how the stip "meant nothing". It setup the final sequence and added to the "chaotic" vibe of the whole feud. I expect the Street Fight or whatever gimmick match they are gonna have for NOC will be more decisive.

Bray vs Jericho was better than the battleground match but I still found it forgettable. The rubber match at NOC should be a buried alive match

Entertaining clusterfuck. We got a messy brawl on a show that didn't need them to put on a classic. At NOC though, WWE better gives us a real hate fueled war

That was great, loved Rusev's selling.

Lana in white. My lord.

Dolph finally with a big win on PPV. Too bad being IC champ is a horrible role nowadays, he's gonna keep on jobbing Good match.

It seems Roger's version of WWE Network is as shitty as people expected. https://twitter.com/LAWradio/status/499237385352515584 https://twitter.com/LAWradio/status/499363708796428288

Anything less would be a huge letdown. Expecting fantasy booking ideas to come to fruition is never fun though. You might end up not liking a great match just because it didn't end like you'd fantasy booked it.

Well after that Cena promo I know Will, Charles and Dylan are gonna be waiting for a big surprise at Summerslam.

I don't know about awkward but it certainly bummed me out

That Miz & Cena pairing would be heel heat gold.

Upper deck was dark so I couldn't tell if they were people there. Lower section and ringside was full. SSS claimed 18k, so did purolove. Only watched the Final. The last third was great, the rest was fine.

Del Rio was a weird case to me. The guy was pretty damn good in the ring, put on consistently entertaining matches - sometimes legit great matches - and he had a real presence to him. But for some reason, he never truly clicked with the crowd. He was a victim of shitty booking as most WWE wrestlers are (specially as time went by, the last 2 and a half years it went from bad to worse) but he was still constantly pushed as a top guy for almost 3 years (2010-2012) and for a good chunk of that run he barely lost. I remember him being one of the few heels in E' that would win clean most of his matches. Edge beating him at Wrestlemania in the fucking opener after winning the biggest Royal Rumble ever was beyond stupid. But IIRC, Del Rio wasn't that over at that time either - I don't remember him ever getting back the heat he had in his first few months in the company - that still doesn't excuse him losing at Mania against Edge but man, I never really understood why he never clicked. A shame.

He mentioned being fired by Flair by did not go into, just mentioned it in passing.

Well Scott Hall was tweeting about a NWO reunion or something like that. Maybe him and Nash are Hogan's surprise guests next Monday? :lol:

Watched the Paul Heyman doc and it's amazing. At worst Top 3 they've ever done. He claims Smackdown outdrew RAW in ratings, merchandising and house shows during his run on the writing team. Ratings and merch I have no trouble believing, but I had no idea they were beating RAW on house shows too. Does anybody know for how long they were beating them?

I guess they are saving the street fight/big gimmick match for NOC. At this point that seems like a more important show than Summerslam.

So apparently Ambrose's stipulation for his match against Rollins at Summerslam is... A Lumberjack match? ugh Spoilers seem very vague this week. There was also a picture on the production truck that said Smackdown will air at 8PM on SyFy every Thursday (can't post the image for some reason).

The Beast Unleashed

Listening to Paul on the MMA Hour. He just said they taped a 24/7 like segment for RAW with interviews from Brock, Paul and Cena plus video highlights. Heyman and Brock wont be there tonight and I'm pretty sure Cena is still shooting his new movie so that's a smart way to keep hyping up the match.

I'd be shocked if they don't somehow involve Bryan in the angle and/or match so I'm sure the crowd will be behind Brie by proxy.

Don't worry, you are going to get it Oh come on

PWInsider via wrestlinginc: Any other outlet running with this story?

That's terrible. It's not that I want that match at Summerslam or anything, but you know they are gonna find a way to over complicate the angle and end up ruining it by September.

On that press conference Bryan pretty much confirmed he needs another surgery. Hopefully they show the real story before Hunter cuts that promo.
