Glad rusev is on smackdown could be so much better just evil foreigner no.8997 only thing that worries me is the video of lanar dancing please don't make rusev dance🙏

Any of you guys watch Lucha Underground?
Was at a show in Manchester last week with quite a few of those guys on the card. Angelico, killshot, pentagon plus a few more.
Skill level was pretty incredible!

Pretty good show tonight at the hydro. Got a wee preview of Nakamura-Ziggler match's tonight and it was awesome. Can't wait for their match at backlash.
Would you recommend going to one of these events?Quote:

Just a few thoughts orton has zero need to champion again.nakamura is a star as is strowman(hopefully he isn't out too long)
Extreme rules 5 way sounds like a good idea
Charlotte is excellent,usos are 10 times better as heels now(bit shouty on promos)I'd like to know what's went wrong with American alpha?alexa bliss is great and so is heel neville and the miz.reigns is still reigns sadly.
Strowman will get a massive pop on his return and turn face I reckon. That's how you push a new star without shoving them down your throats like they did with Reigns.
Want Strowman or Nakamura or Styles to win the rumble. But we know it's likely roman again since the main event is set for next year for WM34.
After watching Nakamura-Ziggler 2 weeks ago at the live event in Glasgow, I'm buzzing to see their match on Sunday.
Alexa though <3.
Takeover looked really good last night from the the bits and pieces I've seen.
They have so much talent right through just now it's unreal.hopefully Adam cole signs soon aswell.
Jinder new WWE champion :faf:
Smackdown has reached a new low.
Wish old vince would just leave now. Poor decision.
Cashing in on the Indian money!
Aye with a Canadian!!Quote:

Extreme rules tonight.
Not a bad card but not great either seen some rumours of Samoa joe and Seth rollins both winning to set up a triple threat with brock.
I think they'll probably go with balor to get the whole "never lost the title" question out the way, and I'm somewhat worried what their long term plans are for him. I do think having a part-time champion is really hurting raw just now.Quote:

Want balor to win, but don't see it.
Joe v Lesnar will be amazing.
Hopefully it's not just suplex city again they could make joe a big star in this match,even in defeat.pretty sure he won't win.Quote:

Same goes for the miz and strowman. And others just can't think of them just now.
Miz is the best heel in the business by a mile.Quote:

The breezango / new day skit was excellent.
Fandango "Their day one is h"
Big e "ish"
Fandango "gesundheit"
😂
https://youtu.be/ZnDh1vA73LY
Yeah definitely.the new day are another example of giving guys some freedom.i know they aren't everyone's cup of tea but as singles competitors they were going nowhere fast.Quote:

Samoa Joe killing it the last couple of weeks.heyman is a great manager as well they really should have more managers.
I only watched the 1st segment on raw this week the rest didn't look up to much.apart from joe/lesnar.
Seen today online Wembley is being talked about as a future wrestlemania venue :hyper.
Doubt Vince will ever do it.it would be great though even summerslam would be great.Quote:

Top rumoured matches for this year's Summerslam are:
Roman Reigns v Goldberg
John Cena v Jinder Mahal
Brock Lesnar v Braun Strowman
Kurt Angle v Triple H
Looks a better card than this year's wrestlemania.
Ring of honour happening at the corn exchange in august. First time ever in Scotland. Will be tremendous.
Any idea who's going to be on it?Quote:

I got a ticket for this last week, so far announced a few including the young bucks, Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian and Jay Lethal. Hoping for Marty Scurll and Cody Rhodes to appear.Quote:

Watched all of raw today for the 1st time in a while,it wasn't bad actually.Samoa joe still killing it,reigns promo was pretty good a bit more heelish,strowman is back and still awesome(the guy is a star.)
Miz Ambrose feud is not bad.seems mix is putting together a stable which is ok. Titus brand is pretty entertaining As well.
Big cass turning on enzo was well done not sure how far either can go without the other.think they should make Corey graves a manager or something.tag division is ok Neville is still great.tozawa is good As well,woman's division is crap.
I'm loving Reigns at the moment.
Wouldn't go that far, but if he can get people to hate him for who he is rather than how he's been pushed whilst retaining the young team, he's on to a winner.Quote:

If Roman-Brock happens at Summerslam instead of WM34. Get Strowman to win the rumble next year and Roman to lose the title before WM34.Quote:

Styles v nakamura for summerslam 👀👏Quote:

Should be one of there better ppvs. Joe has been fantastic would love him to win but probably not.Quote:

Austin Aries left WWE.
Gutted. :boo hoo:
Obviously wasn't happy. Tbf, he's not been on tv for a while. Personally don't know Why he was on 205 live, could have handled the main roster easily.Quote:

Great Balls of Fire was a great ppv. Roman-Braun was utterly amazing and Brock-Joe at the end was another good match.
WWE have made a new star in Braun. He gets cheered everytime he appears.

On the flip side what a shame it is the enzo amore is so small and terrible in the ring,because for natural charisma and his promos are off the scale.
I want Braun to win the rumble next year and have him go up against Lesnar for the title at WM and Braun to win the title at WM.Quote:

Unfortunately I think he was speaking hypothetically. As in, of course they'd take him back despite everything. I don't think he has any appetite for it for the foreseeable, though. I'd love to see it, I was at extreme rules 2012 and his street fight with Jericho was awesome!Quote:

Dana will quickly cut him if he doesn't generate interest/ppv buys.which I can't see him keeping up.Quote:

Agreed. Seems odd to break up yet another tag team as well. Also with a split for the hype bros being teased and the colons on the shelf, you'd think smackdown could do with all the tag teams they can get.Quote:

Yeah do seem to be destroying the tag division just now.
I could only think of Harper and Rowan being put back together again for the fashion files wrap up but who knows.
Yeah, I agree but I think he's pretty determined to try some smaller promotions like Bellator if need be.Quote:

Possibly, they've both been missing for a while right enough, but they were fighting each other last time they were on telly so surely not?Quote:

Wwe logic though.they do need some tag teams and they don't have anything else for them.so why Not?Quote:

Another cracking raw. Been on a roll since mania.
Not sure about bayley v bliss though 🤔
Smackdown has gone the other way.
Just watching smackdown.
Thought Owens getting the us title was odd... makes sense now 👐
Seems set up for Owens vs shane at summerslamQuote:

That chair shot/throw was awesome 😂😂.
Cena vs nakamura was good last week.kind of seems they are dialing it in for summerslam.cena beats Corbin,nak beats mahal then Corbin cashes in mitb.still smackdown has been better the last couple of weeks.
Or not as it appears. Amazed they let Corbin fail his cash in.Quote:

Jinder Mahal was the same went from jobber to wwe champ within weeks should have giving him this storyline with the US title.
Joe to win the title and Nakamura to win the Smackdown title :hyper
Managed to catch the ending of Takeover this morning after my night out. Appears WWE are doing a bullet club angle in nxt.
Wonder if either roode or aop are heading to the main roster?
That main event was outstanding. Might have to watch it again. :not worth
Jinder still champion though. :rolleyes:
