That sounds ideal from their point of view and it's really lucky that they stumbled into Becky getting over so big because to me, Lesnar vs Rollins very much feels like a middle of the card match. I have no idea why they wouldn't just go with Braun, unless Brock genuinely does hate him and won't put him over. Even then, it seems like McIntyre is the end goal for them atm so why not just put him over Brock directly instead of giving us a Rollins transitional reign?

A lot less than yours

If you don't really care about the political situation in Brazil, then a nine word thread title that isn't followed up on anywhere in the discussion should be pretty easy to ignore.

Listening to Meltzer and Alvarez talking about Raw, and yeah, the show really sucked but them getting annoyed at Strowman's promo because he exaggerated the severity of his injury is so dumb. Like, they do know that the point of pro-wrestling is to lie, right?

I don't know why this Dean vs Seth shit is so overwritten. How easy is it to book a jealousy feud when there's one friend out of three that wasn't holding a title? No need for the stupid shit about 'Dean never said love' and 'Roman deserves to have cancer'.

I'd just love to see Bryan work heel for a series against Rey, babyface reactions or not. And for it to end up with a hair/beard vs mask match.

I actually kind of enjoy dreaming up scenarios that they could book just for him to shoehorn current pop cultural references into his commentary. I hope they do a gauntlet match so he can say 'thank u, next' every time someone is eliminated or some shit.

It would be nice if a babyface got over on someone every now and again. You'd assume BRAUN is going to squash Corbin at the PPV though.

Mauro is the worst commentator in the company at this point. Just toe curling and overbearing. At least you can generally tune out the shitty main roster guys but he's always SCREAMING.

I'd love to read Dave or someone on the history of Paul's involvement over the last couple of years. He obviously helps pull political strings for Brock and he's helping coach Ronda on her promos. The way he hugged Reigns backstage after the leukaemia announcement clearly showed that there's a lot of warmth and respect there. And if you watched the Becky thing on youtube from the other day, he was also backstage at Smackdown and was prominently giving her a warm embrace before she went out to do her promo.

Yeah, I'd be happy to argue that last night was Charlotte Flair's best match too.

She gave a whole load of people their career best matches this year and dragged some people - Nia Jax, Alexa, Nikki Bella - to levels of performance that they've never shown before and I don't even think she's done 10 singles matches yet.

I hope they have Becky run in and beat the shit out of both Nia and Ronda at TLC, if she's cleared to do it.

Big fan of Daniel Bryan just doing murders with the sole of his boots

Also, is it really out of the realm of possibility that the combined factor of his leg being wrapped around the post, taking a load of big head shots in quick succession and the match being three times as long as what he usually has could be enough to cause Brock to stagger on an F5?

Very few does tend to imply more than one, yes. The Ronda match may have been the better wrestled match, but because of who Brock Lesnar and Daniel Bryan are, I was biting on all the stuff in theirs on a different level. The sheer uncomfortable feeling I got from the beating Bryan took made me feel his comeback on a more visceral level and genuinely lose myself in cheering him on to batter Brock. That doesn't happen without the aura that is unique to him, tarnished as it is compared to a few years back when he only had great matches and people weren't sick of him.

I could write a treatise about Brock Lesnar and his booking/performances the last couple of years, but it has to be said that very few can bring a big match performance like he can.

Arguable that the best two WWE matches of the year just happened back to back there

Unbelievable. Bryan is still the best damn it.

So much for Bryan being a heel lol

Jesus

This feels uncomfortable tbh

I just hope that angle, as hot as it was, isn't going to lead to them trying to transition away from Becky as the main girl

The women in WWE are on a complete other level to the men

That was amazing. The match and the angle. I feel bad that the crowd is cheering Charlotte though - her performance was awesome but Ronda deserves huge props for the insane beating she took tonight. I never thought I'd see her take that much violence.
