NintendoLogic Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Not even kendo sticks can make the audience care about this match. Quote
El Dragon Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 They have killed Becky so so dead by sticking her with her black hole of a boyfriend. Quote

Strummer Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Yeah they were hurting Becky before the Seth pairing imo Quote
jiraffejustin Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Has there been anything in the women's division worth a damn since Ronda left? Quote

Does NXT count because Io Shairi new heel turn is pretty awesome Well that was eventually going to happen. At least they didn't do it to Kofi Quote

They spent all that time just building up Ronda, Charlotte, and Becky. Now one's gone, one's been off TV for months, and Becky's been on newbie detail. Quote
El Dragon Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Welp at least this will end Rollins reign of nothing. Quote
WingedEagle Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Hopefully this means we're done with shows focused on Seth Rollins and Baron Corbin. Quote
...TG Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Oh great more Lesnar as champ. I guess Heyman really is in charge of Raw? Quote
brocklock Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 I know people are sick of Brock, but this is so much better than Rollins and Corbin. I actually really enjoyed this PPV overall. Quote
Strummer Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Probably getting Brock/Seth at Summerslam Quote
C.S. Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Boy, I bet Seth sure feels like a putz defending his work as "the best anywhere," WWE as the "top company," and Mox as "presumptuous" - only to fall in geek fashion to the new booker's favorite old toy. Quote
NintendoLogic Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Really enjoyable show overall. You know, if you only watched the PPVs, you'd probably think WWE was pretty good right now. Quote
Al Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 I don’t mind Brock taking the title back, but again MITB cashed in in the most uninspiring way possible. Quote
Strummer Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 So yeah this probably leads to Roman beating Brock on the first FOX Smackdown like I said Brock probably faces Seth at Summerslam Quote
KawadaSmile Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 I'm catching up with the show Black vs Cesaro is really fucking good, guys. Quote

Lashley vs Drew from Slammiversary, vs James Storm on Impact in August, vs Eddie Edwards in a steel cage, vs EC3 at BFG, etc as my favorites. Happy for Brock, hope we never have to sit through Seth & Becky crap again. Quote
SmartMark15 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Catching up on the recommended matches. Black vs Cesaro was so awesome and concise. The three-way tag was elevated by the presence and work of the greatest wrestler of all damn time, plus a nice intense finish with Big E too. Quote

Well it's not like Brock was being left out of the title scene before Heyman got control. As long as he keeps giving him these bazillion dollar contracts, Vince is going to feel like he needs to be champ to make it not seem like he's wasting money. Quote
Superstar Sleeze Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Cesaro vs Aleister Black - Extreme Rules 2019 I wouldnt say this was Match of the Year level, but I thought this was a total banger. What really stood out to me about this was the level of effort and motivation. This felt like 2013 all over again. Everything felt very urgent and explosive. Aleister Black looked really good during Halftime Heat, but felt like just another guy during his run with Ricochet. This was a great coming out party. I love the return of a Dutch Kickboxer. I loved the attrition of working over Cesaro's leg with those inside kicks. Black comes off as a slightly more kickboxer-oriented Kota Ibushi with all the moonsaults. Black looked ferocious. Cesaro looked like 2013 Cesaro. Those European Uppercuts were awesome. That finish was absolutely awesome. Explosive and out of nowhere in a good way. Some selling issues (people over sell initially, if they used a register instead of the annoying "oversell then don't sell" that would be better) and some psychology issues (head rocking spots puts Cesaro in a bad spot where he has to sell, but get back up. Put the head rocking spots in the back end and have Black miss a couple at the beginning to create that tension and blow off the head rocking spots at the back end) hold this back. But I dont want to bitch about this too much. I am nitpicking. We need more matches that bang. More matches that feel urgent. There are too many plodding walkthrough matches where the wrestlers are just sleepwalking through their matches. This reminds me of Rey vs Psychosis at Bash at the Beach 1996 as a way to get people over in the debut match. ****1/4 Quote
SmartMark15 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 It's not even fair anymore, guys. How can one person be so good at all aspects of wrestling? Quote
KawadaSmile Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Man, Bryan becoming the best promo in wrestling (and one of the best talkers EVER) after returning from retirement is something incredible. He just finds ways to improve. Quote
