July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760562 Jericho going to a video package by abruptly saying, “Play the tape, monkeys!” got a laugh out of me. Probably ‘cause I like monkeys. I also liked Ryder looking like a better dressed version of Shane backstage in the SD locker room. Ryder as “dress for the job you want” trying too hard perma-associate is a smart nuance to his desperate character.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760563 Holy shit Ambrose won clean So all of these weeks of making Reigns sympathetic for failing a drug test and then he takes the pin for the loss. So confusing Usos lifting up Ambrose was a hilarious OOPS moment given the last year
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760564 This is pretty cool, but the Usos raising him seems so dickish somehow.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760565 As a sheet no less. And it's clearly the right call. Now there is actual drama on Raw about how they handle the title situation. And it makes Steph look bad, because at the end of the day, she bet against Ambrose, and she lost.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760566 Foley looking the way he does and portraying an authority figure looks deranged to any new or casual fan. He's an Appalachian meth den bounty hunter at best and a headcase Christmas obsessive at worst. Oh wait, he is the worse thing. Faces win!
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760567 I thought this was a really fun show and for once I'm looking forward to their TV this week.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760568 man they really have booked Ambrose fantastically these last 2 months. Gasp they might have something going here
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760569 Ambrose has clearly passed Reigns on the pecking order. Probably won't last but I never thought he would even get this far or this type of push
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760570 Can Ambrose hit offense anymore? I have not seen someone so offensively inept this side of Kofi Kingston. He remains over and great at selling. When you are a babyface that is all you need, but God his offense sucks. Reigns vs Rusev for the US Title!!! PLEASE! Did not expect the finish at all. El Dragon is right it is the right move because it makes Steph, a heel, look bad for betting against Ambrose.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760571 They made a win feel like it really, really mattered. That feels so good.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760572 All in all, this was a pretty great show. And I'm looking forward to the next 2 nights of TV. Good job, WWE!
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760579 Good show with the first half being better than the second half. Zayn/KO was motn with probably the opening tag or Rusev/Ryder being next. I thought the main was ok, and the Cena, Cass & Enzo/Club six man peaked with the pre match promo. I thought Nattie stunk it up with her hammy acting, and felt bad for Becky having to job to someone she's 10 times better than. Also WTF at that Miz/Young finish.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760585 The Miz has been involved in many confusing finishes recently. This one was no different. And did Maryse knock a tooth off Bob Backlund with that slap? Anyway, pleasantly surprised with how they booked the WWE Championship match tonight. Maybe they value Dean Ambrose as a top star after all. And man, Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn ruled tonight. Everything I expected and more!
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760588 man what the heck did becky lose for? i want this feud to end zayn/owens was great stuff as was the US title match. looking forward to roman's development tomorrow, if there is any.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760589 I have half an hour to watch now and turned it on for the frigging Orton segment? Screw this. I'm watching JYD/Duggan vs the Russians Well aren't you special.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760590 They do not give a shit about timing their shows anymore. Do these still air on conventional PPV?No one cares about coventional PPV anymore besides UFC and boxing.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760592 They do not give a shit about timing their shows anymore. Do these still air on conventional PPV?No one cares about coventional PPV anymore besides UFC and boxing. There are still rural areas of the country that don't have the minimum internet requirements to run the network and rely on PPV. IIRC many of the PPV providers dropped the non-Big Four PPV's. For those that didn't I'm just wondering what they do in this case.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760596 I have half an hour to watch now and turned it on for the frigging Orton segment? Screw this. I'm watching JYD/Duggan vs the Russians Well aren't you special. Thanks for noticing Johnny. In this case, I think I am. I had so little time last night because I was taking care of my family. Wife and 4 year old had a late nap, so I ended up doing the weekly food shopping and was out doing that when the PPV started. Then the dinner plans were all pushed back so I came up with breakfast for dinner and made waffles and bacon. I did have just enough time to go back and check out Bayley's entrance pop between waffles. Cat puked somewhere in there, so I dealt with that. Then I came back and put the kid to bed, not shortchanging her on a story or anything else. Somewhere in the midst of the bedtime process we had a big water spill, so we took care of that too. And it turned out to be right around 10:30 that I was able to turn the show on, expecting the main. Did Jericho probably do a good job being annoyingly entertaining? Sure. Was Orton more human than usual? Maybe Was I entitled to them giving me wrestling at that point in a PPV? No. But it's what I wanted at that point. And I figured I could come on here and gripe a bit and express how great it is that we don't have to be spoonfed what they force us in a world that NWAOnDemand exists. So yeah, thanks Johnny. It's nice to be recognized.
