June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920209 Evening lads. I'm going to try and stay up and watch this as I have nothing else to do. Piss poor card on paper. I'm mainly watching this to see what they're going to do with Orton/Edge.
June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920212 This is some wild shit from the lawsuit over Saudi Arabia. Probably a bigger story even that THE GREATEST MATCH EVER
June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920214 Fightful reporting Edge was injured at the Backlash tapings well shit that's not good
June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920215 Sounds like THE GREATEST ACCIDENTAL HANDICAPPED MATCH EVER. I'm going to be watching various Japanese matches from promotions like NOAH, DDT, & 2AW tonight instead. About to watch a random David Starr match that was just uploaded to YouTube. Can't wait for NJPW to come back, baby!!
June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920217 Oh yeah, you're right, it returns tonight. Meanwhile, i'll be watching random Kendo Kashin & Minoru Tanaka matches. Hell, if I can find the match they had together at Wrestling Dontaku 2001, I'll even watch that!
June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920218 If nothing else, Edge/Orton will prove instructive as to what the company thinks a great wrestling match looks like. It also ensures that this show will be remembered far more than a typical throwaway B-PPV. Like, off the top of your head, can you name a single thing that happened at Stomping Grounds?
June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920219 It is strange how some of Christian's best promo work is for a match he isn't even involved in. Okay I will not allow any shitting on that Miz and Morrison HEY HEY song. At least something tonight will live up to PPV standards
June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920221 Later, I will cherry pick Asuka & Drew's matches. Their both awesome. I also pray for Asuka's safety as she is wrestling an opponent who is terrifying for all the wrong reasons, and hopefully Drew will make it a shorter Strong Style match will Lashley. Lashley should never be in a long match... never. Because if he is, than it is more powerful than Nyquil.

June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920225 I can't count how many times I lost my attention span during his matches over the years, same with his MMA fights, LOL. Even watching his match with John Cena that was uploaded to YouTube, I lost my attention span while he was working on top of Cena, SMH.
June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920226 I don't know I thought Drew's matches against Lashley in TNA was really good. But yeah I can't think of a really good WWE Lashley match
June 14, 20205 yr Author comment_5920228 His matches vs Roman were pretty good. Also, IIRC he had some bangers against Braun, as well.
June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920229 MVP is awesome, but no matter who you pair Lashley with - Lio, Lana, etc. - it never works because Lashley never works.
June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920230 Roman Reigns & Bobby Lashley.. Good God.. 100% has Vince written all over it
June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920232 I know it's too early to say given Heyman was removed just a couple of days ago, but hopefully Crews retaining is a sign Vince won't get cold feet on him. I've been a fan since his Uhaa Nation days.
June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920233 I feel like Lashley should be good if he's just kept in short power vs power matches. No need for him to ever go beyond like 12 minutes. If he and Drew did a cosplay Ishii match tonight, it could be good.

June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920235 That is exactly the type of match that Drew/Lashley should be. They can even mimic the Brock/Goldberg WM 33 match. Brock was finally able to get a great match out him him that way.
June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920236 Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen a good Lashley match. The guy isn't awful, just incredibly dull. The only Lashley match that could interest me on paper is if he ever faces Lesnar.
June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920237 I know Raw was taped, but as far as Backlash goes, wasn't just Edge-Orton taped and everything else is live? They could easily have redone the taped Raw if Vince had decided to change the finish.
June 14, 20205 yr comment_5920238 No matter who the opponent is, if Brock is motivated, get your popcorn ready.
