C.S.

That was a waste.

Random thought: I'd love if Maria was cheating with EC3 and he's reintroduced that way as an asshole heel character to feud with Mike. Another random thought: I'm surprised they haven't stripped Mike of his last name to further henpeck him (and also to take a shot at Cody, because they're petty like that!)

I miss EC3 and the red cup though. Drake quickly overshadowed his best bud.

I think you're really reaching with this. Seconds before the Goldberg comment, Miz mentioned Ziggler losing to KO in 17 seconds. What other meaning is there to extrapolate from the Goldberg remark?

I was hoping Maverick's wife brought the ref in.

HOW many times are they going to replay this fucking Bray footage? I'm already sick of Bray.

It wasn't a shot. He obviously meant Goldberg squashing opponents in seconds, just like KO did to him.

Maybe DZ wants to end his run by putting one of his best friends over? Or maybe Miz wants to put one of his best friends over? Either way, as stale and cold as the pairing is, they will deliver in the ring.

They want to be Bret Hart vs. Roddy Piper. Did Nattie get a nose job and lip fillers?

Becky vs. Bliss vs. Cross could've been a fun match for SummerSlam. But if both Bliss and Cross couldn't beat Bayley together, neither of them are suitable opponents for the far bigger star in Becky. (And who could've predicted that when they were all in NXT?)

I gotta say, none of these women are exactly compelling choices to face "Ice Cold" Becky Lynch for the Raw Women's Title at SummerSlam.

He'll end up pregnant and giving birth to a hand.

Maybe this is how they write Finn out?

No Shane. Looks like Drew got dumped.

Drew is dreadful on the mic and as a character.

Their ring work is great, but their gear, catchphrases, etc. are a major turn-off for me.

Usos have the worst fucking catchphrases, gear, characters, act, everything. I realize they're good in-ring, but literally everything else about them is repellent to me.

Braun deserves it if they're going to go all the way with him, even though the match itself won't be good because he and Brock have zero chemistry. Otherwise, I'm rooting for Big E or Rey Mysterio. It will be Seth. It will be the King Beast Slayer. It will be Seth Freakin' Rollins. It will be The Architect. It will be The Man's Man. It will be...whatever other geeky bullshit he's calling himself this week.

Paul Heyman looks like one of the California Raisins.

I'd pop if it's Big E. But it should be Strowman or Mysterio.

I hope not because an alliance between Bea Priestley and Jungle Boy Jack Perry needs to happen. (I realize I'm not the first person to make that joke - in this thread, even - but it's true!)

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.

I'm so sorry to hear about the situation with WWE in France, @El-P, but considering how dire the product has been lately, maybe it's a blessing in disguise? I'm not watching either, but I will be reading along... Finn's reign was DOA from the get-go, and now the ice cold Nakamura has the title. Good rasslin', probably, but the title means nothing right now. I was tempted to be hyperbolic and say "Has the title ever meant any less?" but of course it has. I mean, Big Zeke is a former champion.

Yeah, no one thinks Dark Order is "low rent rasslin'" because WWE says so or because they wear masks in general. No one is making those comments about Lucha Bros (who I'm not a fan of at all - at least so far) or Luchsaurus (I dig him). Dark Order is "low rent rasslin'" because this particular mask looks low rent. Definitely over my head. They're being positioned as "fearsome" top heels, but they're supposed to be satire or a nostalgia act? Not sure I'm buying that.

Yeah, awful. If I were Tony Khan, I'd call an audible, pull him out of the match, and put Mox in. If they're not making Hangman the first champion (and I'm divided on whether that would be the right decision), Mox is easily a better choice than Jericho.
