August 13, 20241 yr comment_6023329 Kofi's line wasn't half bad either. I'll admit that when I saw The Final Testicle trending, I thought it had something to do with the Trump/Elon interview.
August 13, 20241 yr comment_6023356 There was so much good on this show! Orton hitting Gunther with the RKO, then the Drew/Punk brawl which looks to be setting up a strap match. The Dom/Liv/Rhea stuff, leading to the Damian brawl. Carlito was the shits, but whatever. The Bron entrance & the 2/3 falls match with Sami. Another Bronson murder. Those crazy bumps that JD took for Damian. WWE is just a lot of fun right now & they're doing it with a lot of new & a lot of young faces. They're using vets, like Truth and Orton, the help put over & establish those new & younger faces. It's just really entertaining & feels like pro wrestling again.
August 13, 20241 yr comment_6023358 I like the Bronson murdering and all, but dude needs some personality. Right now he’s King Kong Bundy 2.0 but he should be trying to get to Vader level. When Adam Pearce kept getting in his face, he should have talked back to him and THEN done splashes. He could have been telling Pearce that the damage done was on him. He needs to do more in the moment other than stare aimlessly.

I really think if they gave him an old-school, trash talking, motor mouthed manager that would really put him over the top. It’s a real shame they don’t really do managers anymore. This is a guy who is pretty much tailor-made for that kind of dynamic. It’s fine if he just looks menacing and crazy and keeps attacking dudes if he has somebody to do the talking for him, or maybe even interfere on his behalf once in a while.

EDIT: Wait, the show was in Austin, TX? I first thought Kross (that's Kross, right?) was using Xavier Woods' shoot name there.
August 14, 20241 yr comment_6023371 One thing is for sure to me just seeing clips: Nu Bloodline would have absolutely zero juice pretty much anytime between 2010-2020 and benefit so immensely from being in a boom period where everything is over.
August 14, 20241 yr comment_6023372 Kross getting an actual reaction is the most insane thing to have happened in WWE in the past 6 months.

Oh, absolutely. Jacob Fatu is the only dude who would have thrived. Shit, Tonga Loa WAS in WWE during that period!
August 14, 20241 yr comment_6023392 listen this motherfucker is funny as shit i've literally never seen someone just flip a switch and become such a great talent. he went to jail and was born a different man.
August 17, 20241 yr comment_6023497 No comments since Wednesday? No one watched Smackdown!? The Nia Jax entrance was gold. The Bloodline stuff with Roman & Solo continues & Jacob Fatu doing a beatdown in a walking boot was somehow more terrifying. He's so good! The Afa video package was nice.
August 17, 20241 yr comment_6023498 Roman’s selling was fantastic. He’s so used to being on top, he was the dude who overcame the odds in those Shield tags, and he felt he could overcome a dude he made and his crony, but then Jacob shows up and obliterates him in a walking boot, not even with his most explosive offense. The looks on his face when Jacob went off was the good shit. When the Usos come back by his side, it’s gonna somehow be more electric than Roman’s return.

It's terrifying that Jacob Fatu could get at this speed with a WALKING BOOT on.
August 17, 20241 yr comment_6023501 Are we going to get a Bloodlines War Games match? Roman & The Usos (with a fourth?) against Solo, Jacob & The Guerillas?

Nia Jax with Pretty Deadly and Tiffy by her side is some goooood shit. I cannot stress enough how much she's improved and 100% belongs at the top of the Women's Division now. LA Knight got a monster pop and somehow it wasn't the loudest of the night. Just insane how much things are going right in this company at this moment. My GOAT getting to sell for a heel and make him look like a thousand bucks. I've got TEARS IN MY EYES, DAWG. THIS SHIT MEANS SOMETHING TO ME!

August 17, 20241 yr comment_6023509 I know it won’t happen because of the match type, and it would be overloading the face side, but I would lose my shit if the fourth spot in War Games went to Rocky.
August 18, 20241 yr Author comment_6023510 Or maybe Rocky joins Team Solo.....they still want to do Roman-Rock at a Mania that would be a way to start it.
August 18, 20241 yr comment_6023511 I could see them leaving Tonga Loa out of the match, and having Rock come in last.

August 18, 20241 yr comment_6023542 Times running out if he wants those two matches at Mania, but I'm not so sure he couldn't be swayed to do one of those matches at SummerSlam or one of the Saudi shows, especially considering that he is also part of the TKO Board. Maybe someone who understands the legality and finances of this can make it make more sense to me, but would he not be able to negotiate his own payday with Saudi Arabia and Nick Khan for it to be 4-5 times more than whatever he makes comparatively for a single appearance?* Maybe he also figures that if you're going to train for 1 match, might as well do 2 in a span of 4 months? Certainly makes things easier to schedule around if you know you're devoting that time to WWE rather than spreading it out over 2 years. * Wasn't that how Vince was able to convince HBK et. al. to come out of retirement or make the trip for the first few? By basically making sure they were paid such a big number that it would be insane not to take it?
August 18, 20241 yr comment_6023546 Surprised to see Roman & Jacob get so physical so soon. Wargames is a lock but hopefully their first singles meeting is as big a deal as possible. Not sure it gets a Mania slot but hopefully an extended build. I assume Wargames is Roman/Usos/Sami vs. Solo/Jacob/GOD but we'll see how Hikuleo or anyone else fits in there. Really great Smackdown though -- Andrade/Melo 3 was the second best match of their trilogy and still great. Andrade is the Carmelo whisperer we never knew we needed. DIY/Profits was also a super strong TV match. High marks for both that along with the closing angle made for a great TV show.
