C.S.

I hope it's on purpose so Asuka can claim she pinned Jade (with the way Jade positioned the pin, Asuka's feet were on Jade's chest) and the match at SummerSlam becomes a three-way, which would only help its quality.

Yeah, so much for that...

Awesome Glacier-like entrance for Jade though. But I hope Asuka wins. Asuka vs. Iyo is a much more interesting match.

Dental pain is no joke! I hope you can get to Britt Baker or one of her assistants soon, @Dav'oh.

I thought Zayn vs. Kross was fun. Kross is more interesting with his character work and facial expressions now than he ever was in NXT as a Temu Goldberg-Orton hybrid - AND he took flat back bumps (so much for that dumb rumor).

I thought it was just me, maybe I'm tired, but I guess not. Very, shall we say, "methodical" match.

Yes, I started this thread just to have an excuse to use that as the topic header. WWE Championship: John Cena © vs. CM Punk King of the Ring Final: Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes Queen of the Ring Final: Asuka vs. Jade Cargill United States Championship: Jacob Fatu © vs. Solo Sikoa Street Fight: Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez Singles Match: Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross

The new tyrant is the same as the old tyrant. Triple H is just as petty as Vince. WWE won't ever truly change until everyone from the old regime is removed like an exorcism, and even that might not be enough with TKO still in the picture.

I thought I heard Seth was getting a new theme?

Yep. This is direct to the Walmart DVD bin levels of dogshit. A few years ago, it would have been - no pun intended - major. Not anymore, for obvious reasons.

You okay, @El-P? I'm not saying you don't have valid points - you do - but you seem to be in a miserable mood in general lately. Hope all is well with you.

You're asking the wrong guy. I loved NWA Powerrr in the early days, but it was the biggest victim of the pandemic, and I haven't watched it in years. Regardless, my point stands. Wrestling is something that will attract weekly viewers. The Roku Channel doesn't have anything else like that right now.

Cheap, easy, reliable programming with viewers that will come back week after week - something Roku doesn't have in any form or fashion right now.

I assume he bought whatever Bruce Tharpe owned and posted to the NWA On Demand service or whatever it was called. But I doubt Roku is interested in uploading any of that.

I can at least understand the Monroe part, since that's a throwback '50s reference to Marilyn Monroe and callback to her association with "Timeless" Toni Storm. But Blake? I guess that's supposed to reference Blake Lively? Otherwise, I got nothing. They should call her "The Modern Throwback." Update: She picked Blake because of her niece.

Can we revisit this? The incredibly irritating and unfixed for years board glitches are beyond tiresome. If there's no tech support person who can fix and update the forum, at least it would be nice to have an admin around who can erase the inaccessible posts with apostrophes/quotes in the title, since - God forbid - it slipped my mind because this isn't an issue on any other forum (even the ancient hasn't been updated since 1997 Wrestling Classics).

Blake Monroe, ladies and gentlemen.

Sorry for the repeat posts, gang. 1. We really need some mod presence here. 2. We really need this annoying apostrophe glitch to be fixed. 3. Hopefully someone will see and erase the other threads quickly. Same timeslot as NXT "The deal will see matches airing on The Roku Channel in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, starting on July 29. The move will see NWA matches streaming for free every Tuesday at 8pm ET." https://deadline.com/2025/06/billy-corgan-national-wrestling-alliance-roku-1236426337/

WHAT THE FUCK

I'm surprised anyone believed Meltzer's speculation masquerading as news on that. Worlds Collide bleeding into the Money in the Bank pre-show told me WWE was not concerned that MitB would bleed into UFC.

Men's MitB was a ton of fun. Even though I knew Seth was winning, the match made me doubt the outcome enough times. Jacob Fatu finally destroying Solo was also a blast. I hope the "main event" is 15 minutes or less instead of a forced "epic." Cena is cooked, Paul is inexperienced, Cody and Jey are meat and potatoes.

Good call. But you'd think she would've been in TNA years ago, which probably means there was never any interest in her there either, for whatever reason.
