August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764642 Once Ambrose is cast aside, can Nikki vs. Bliss be the next SD world title feud? Also, why in the hell is Orton-Lesnar going on last? Unless there's some massive storyline coming, that's a bad message to send to both the fans and locker room. You can argue a lot of things about Brock and how he is handled in the WWE as "sending a bad message to the fans and locker room" He is the biggest star in the company right now (or #2 behind Cena) and is costing the company millions. So they are definitely going to treat him like a main eventer
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764644 That'd be an awesome belt for Drago in Lucha Underground. It's his personal Smoking Skull Belt.
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764645 Is Rollins paying tribute to Devon Storm with that attire? That looks so indy.

So they are definitely going to treat him like a main eventer Well yes, that’s my point, I suppose. Dude screws up colossally on a very public level, company divorces itself of any responsibility via nonsense technicality of their own invention, then keeps him as the main event. What do they gain from it? The cache he had after his UFC win is now less than zero. They’re paying him the money either way: putting him in the main event doesn’t improve their investment. Let’s even say that most fans watching think Orton-Lesnar is a bigger match than either of the title matches: that’s a bad precedent, and one they should actively book against. They did the same thing last year with Brock-Taker, and it was a mess from which they achieved nothing. In part it's because Vince doesn't have faith in any of the four title match guys, but that too speaks volumes.
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764647 Not that it matters, but the "operatic" wrestling entrance (okay, Nak and Balor) is deeply confusing and unimpressive thing to the casuals I hang out with.
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764648 Rollins and The Club have matching gear tonight. I'm probably reading too much into that lol
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764649 Also, maybe the Demon King should focus on resurrecting this hellish crowd. A ha...ha...
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764650 Rollins is a heel who isn't great at controlling a match and Finn is a face who isn't a good seller. This was never going to be a great matchup in the middle. Crowds not helping.
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764651 Cena is probably the worst worker in the company right now. It's only a matter of time before his matches consist of literally nothing but finisher kick-outs and laying around. I wouldn't go that far but he has definitely declined since 2014. His peak was 2011-2014 but now it's all downhill it seems.
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764652 That Inside Cradle Driver is awesome. That should be someone's finish.
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764654 I mean that match wasn't "bad, but man it just wasn't something that felt like a big deal to me. Finn as the Demon still is just "Finn wrestling with facepaint" to me.
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764655 I have this fun theory no one wants to listen to that Finn is the sacrificial lamb to explain the ratings due to the brand split, new TV coming back, and football starting, thus protecting Rollins.
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764656 I liked the finishing sequence, but I kinda checked out when the crowd kept shitting on the belt instead of watching the match.
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764657 Superplex into a pop-up Pedigree into a reversal? Jesus. These guys make Kurt Angle look like Ricky Morton.
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764658 I have this fun theory no one wants to listen to that Finn is the sacrificial lamb to explain the ratings due to the brand split, new TV coming back, and football starting, thus protecting Rollins. So in other words, a political hit?
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764659 Top rope suplex, roll through by Seth, Finn back on offense and within 10 seconds wins the match-- again...is Davey Richards secretly working as an agent for WWE?
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764661 I have this fun theory no one wants to listen to that Finn is the sacrificial lamb to explain the ratings due to the brand split, new TV coming back, and football starting, thus protecting Rollins. So in other words, a political hit? It's more of a ratings famine.
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764663 Hey Renee Young, if I had been at that desk for that long, I'd be drinking too.
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764664 Rollins pulls out the Small Package Driver for the first time in WWE, only to have it kicked out of at two? Why?
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764665 Wow I now support burying Dolph Ziggler more and more And given there is supposedly only 30 minutes left on the show, that commercial was sure as hell not needed
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764666 So much no selling. I didn't hate the match as much as Cena/AJ. They worked hard, but there was no psychology or character work to be seen.
August 22, 20169 yr comment_5764667 REAL MAIN EVENT TIME!!! Cena, AJ let me down...Roman, Rusev don't let me down
