Post-Summerslam Raw & Smackdown

[Strummer]

No turn from Bubba. Was hoping for one. Looks like they are headed for a "one last run" for the Dudleys

[Parties]

Detective Dan Barry's speaking role on "Holy Foley" is the new highlight of Summerslam weekend.

I knew the Dudley's retirement was going to disappointment me because I don't want them to stay which means they will. Most of these 'he is announcing his retirement' stuff usually leads to an angle unless people know that someone is legit fucked up (i.e. Edge, Daniel Bryan, etc.). Based of what happened on Raw I expect to see The Dudley's decide there is still 'gas left in the tank' and continue to bore me for months to come.

 

Titus is usually a good speaker, but he was off tonight. WAY OFF! And speaking of promos, Charlotte's was pretty solid overall but really spotty at other points. She might want to use different words for 'back' as it relates to a return especially if its going to be closely followed by Charlotte talking about an opponent's actual back.

I think Seth just needs to retire the buckle bomb, it's just a bad move to take. Basically any move involving blindly tossing a guy has a bad risk/reward ratio.

[Strummer]

PWI says the Dudley's retirement was a shoot. They are done with WWE. The idea was just to get some heat on the Club

[JKWebb]

Pretty great selling from Sami last night. It reminded me of the Hart/Savage match from SNME when Savage sold the ankle injury so well.

[FMKK]

Bryan tweeting about new championships being announced tonight on Smackdown, which one would assume means a tag title and a women's title.

[Matt D]

I wish they would have done something to differentiate the titles. I'm not sure what that would be, maybe putting TV title rules on the IC title (perfect for Miz) or making the Raw tag titles six man ones (perfect for New Day) or the Smackdown women's title a tag title or something.

[NotJayTabb]

Given that Nikki Bella returned as a heel on Sunday, I wonder if they'll mention that she's the sister-in-law of the face GM

[Grimmas]

They should had put trios on one show and tags on the other. Same women's single on one show and women's tag on the other.

[Strummer]

More i think about it my guess is that with Balor's injury they will go to heel champ Rollins being chased by Reigns which was the plan all along before Roman got pinched for wellness. Cass isn't winning. I was thinking Owens last night but I just can't picture Vince doing that. Roman of course but I think they want him chasing. Plus still have the Rusev stuff going on It's kinda funny that Reigns was supposed to go over Rollins three separate times, Sept 2014, November 2015 and this month. Vince won't stop till he gets that match and result I guess

I think Seth just needs to retire the buckle bomb, it's just a bad move to take. Basically any move involving blindly tossing a guy has a bad risk/reward ratio.

It also has a really bad "legit danger/apparent danger" ratio. So it's a lose/lose. Maybe a lose/lose/lose.

Stephanie fined Brock $500 for hurting Shane so there's the punch line

[FMKK]

More identical belts.

[goc]

More identical belts.

Seems not to have hurt UFC's ability to make people care about title fights.

[Strummer]

Heath Slater is at a different level of fantastic

[FMKK]

That was a really effective opening segment all round. Set up like four different things.

[Infinit]

Heath & Rowan as Team Ginger??

[Blehschmidt]

I guess someone noticed Carmella was dying a horrible silent death every time she went out there. Kudos on the double turn, Nikki was gonna get cheered anyway.

[sek69]

Heath & Rowan as Team Ginger??

That would be great with Rowan doing the work and Heath taking the credit.

[Strummer]

For fucks sake they are going to do Brock/Shane

[FMKK]

This show has been pretty good. Raw has the better matches cause they have so much time to fill but this has been zipping along nicely, it's easy to watch and they're setting up lots of stuff.

[sek69]

I know it's the same design, but silver makes the tag belts look so much better than the pennies on Raw.

[Strummer]

This show has smoked Raw

[Jmare007]

I liked AJ vs Dolph better than AJ vs Cena, and I really liked AJ vs Cena.
