C.S.

Nah, I don't see Bryan going to Raw. He was clear even before his previous retirement that he wanted to make Smackdown his show, and this was years before they brought back the brand split.

Am I the only one who thinks Bryan vs. AJ is really just a setup for some KO/SZ shenanigans?

A Lashley World Title run hardly excites me, but there's a difference between a run and making him "the guy." He'll never be "the guy" but he'll get a run. No big deal, other than making the worthless Universal Title picture even duller. Joe vs. Lashley at next year's WM? I'm getting sleepy just thinking about it. In the meantime, the Joe vs. Roman feud could actually be compelling. I've been waiting years for Joe to position himself as a Samoan outsider - the ONE Samoan who ISN'T in the Anoa'i family. I'm not a fan of Joe, but that practically writes itself. Now I kinda wish they didn't waste the absurd "Vince's boy" storyline on Lesnar, when it would be perfect for Joe vs. Roman.

I created these if anyone wants them. I like them so much that I almost want to start rooting for Joe.

Agreed. I erased my Joe post before I saw yours. It's better left for another thread (or not at all, since I actually deleted it and can't get it back, lol).

Since people seem to know me by who I don't like, I'll get a jump on the next person and point out ahead of time that I also don't like Kassius Ohno. (My dislike of Adam Cole doesn't seem controversial 'round these parts.)

Nobody's ready for Asuka.

Aren't the vacant Raw Tag Team Titles being decided in Saudi Arabia?

This will happen on any board. You sometimes post something and it's "ignored." Or, worse, you're the last post in a thread and you feel like you killed the thread, lol. But no one is ignoring you and you didn't kill the thread (unless you're this guy ) - these things sometimes happen. One tip: Try uploading an avatar for yourself. They might make your posts more noticeable. I'm not sure if that kind of thing matters on this board, but it's definitely had an effect on other boards I post in.

Now that you guys mention it, Cole's face IS pretty fucking annoying. I'd say Roode has the better entrance and character, but it all evaporates once he's in the ring. Cole has no discernible character that I can see yet, but he's okay in the ring. In a more gimmicky era, I would've cast him as a David Koresh cult leader type. That's who he reminds me of, and I think he could do that type of role a lot more justice than the putrid Bray Wyatt. Hard to say who has the edge between Roode and Cole, because I'm so apathetic about both of them.

Along with "THIS IS AWESOME!" and "F-E-D!"

You guys all realize Aries will bail on them in a few months too, right? He should change his name to Captain Complainer. He's not as bad as the useless Low-Ki, but he's not someone I'd build a fed around either.

Brock re-signs and Nicholas goes back to fourth grade. Not a fair exchange IMO. I'd take the kid over Brock any day! As for No Way Jose, while that's not an "exciting" call-up, he did improve nicely in NXT. Hopefully Vince will eventually shorten his ridiculous name to just Jose like he did with Elias, Big E, Cesaro, etc. Edit: Ember got called up too. Yawn!

Not the case for me. I've only seen one Adam Cole match in ROH. (It might've been the one where he turned heel and won the title on that free iPPV - that was him, right?) I just think he's been a bland indy geek in NXT. TakeOver did him no favors - especially winning the NA Title despite being one of the least interesting and memorable people in the match. His facials are also goofy-as-fuck. With that said, this was the best he's looked in NXT so far - smooth ring-work and good selling.

Am I supposed to know who that is?

Same here. I'll never attend Mania now that they're this long. The thought fills me with dread more than excitement.

To be fair, when I attended Supercard of Honor II, I felt like I had gotten the bargain of my life paying $25 for five hours of wrestling. Of course, that was before the era where every supershow was excessively long.

Just a hunch, but I think he'd like you more if you worked harder on making your posts easier to read. I've seen posts of yours that are clear and coherent, so I'm not sure why you can't do that all the time. If you have some sort of disability, just say so - there's nothing to be ashamed of, and I think people would be a lot more understanding. Agreed. He was on fire in his NXT debut against Sami Zayn and for a little while after that. But by the time he became NXT Champion, the bloom was off the rose. Having feuds with the over-the-hill Samoa Joe and the bland and mechanical Finn Balor probably didn't help, but there's no excuse for not producing a classic against AJ Styles (unless your name is Kevin Owens).

An Attitude Era star. The result will mean nothing in the bigger picture, so just enjoy the ride.

Kid Rock wasn't even there, was he? I heard a rumor that he was told not to come because he went political in his HOF speech after being asked not to. Don't ask me where I saw that - WM was too damn long and I have a splitting headache. The reaction shot of AJ and Angle laughing like idiots after Kid Rock's comment about beating up Democrats did no one any favors.

Was I in your dream?

I don't think it's a unique one. Goldberg was massively over during his streak. Even Tatanka was over. Asuka didn't even come close to Ludvig Borga, of all people.

Asuka wasn't over and the streak wasn't over. Good riddance.

Brock vs. Nicholas - SIGN IT!

Am I the only one who kinda liked the match? It wasn't great by normal standards, and it featured two acts who are ice cold with me (even though I do like Reigns in the ring), but it was memorably brutal. The wrong person won, of course, but I guess you could say that no matter who won. Really tone deaf decision putting these two together, and in the main event. The Universal Title being worthless doesn't help.
