He is so fucking good

Man, I just finished watching on the west coast and what in the literal fuck was that ending. Corbin sucks but what did that ending accomplish?

If you want Corbin to lose when he cashes in, why don't you have him cash in on Nak after he wins on Sunday and have Nak go over clean to make Nak look super strong?

It's really like they aren't even trying anymore.
Because Nak ain't winning?

Baron losing was probably part of the plan..They just did it earlier than expected. Baron has a full on excuse to fuck up the title match at Summerfest meaning Jinder wins by DQ and they do a triple threat at...Whatever ppv in September. He'll have no one else to feud with if Cena is leaving. leaving the title on Jinder keeps the India market strong I guess.

The India market doesn't even have access to WWE Network much less money to pay for it. Adjusting the price of the Network for the average income in India wouldn't make enough money to be worth putting the title on Jinder.

strong recommendation: stop watching the news and definitely don't read twitter comments about all the stuff going on in america unless you want to sit in bed for 3 hours, staring at the ceiling and pondering about how fucked up people can be


i should watch some new japanese pro wrestling to get my mind off this

I'm gonna spend the weekend watching WWE wrestling to escape to a world where things make more sense.

I've always been a big USA fanboy. Growing up on movies, comics, videogames, cartoons, and yes, wrestling from the US, it was easy for a young nerd from a little country to be wondered by all this stuff he saw on TV.

One of my dreams was going to New York (which I did 15 years ago). I still want to go back one day (wru money), I had the time of my life...

...but its increasingly hard to be a US fanboy with whats going on over there lately fam :(

I cant even imagine what its like to, well... actually be American >_>

Not too different from being a WWE Network subscriber.
 
If Asuka is losing Sunday I kinda want some footage of her in a despondent state as the solar eclipse happens on the 21st. Shame she's probably going up right after Summerslam because I still want psycho clown Asuka and perfect timing with the It remake coming out.

She really is. At least she's losing the belt in 6 days.
She is terrible everywhere. I just can't stand her.


Becky lost clean. Wtf are they doing with her.

Naomi almost dropped F bomb on commentary lmao.

I remember when I had such high hopes for her. It's been three years since I soured on her and she's done nothing since but to reinforce my disappointment aside from have a cool entrance.


EDIT: Decided to watch Smackdown... Fuck I hate promos full of exposition.

He is so fucking good

Yeah that promo from Neville was pretty damn good. Sounding of defeat yet scorned on the result of the past 24 hours. It also helps that he looked like he hasn't had a wink of sleep since the loss.

I know folks say move him up to the roster, but he's going to get lost in the shuffle. He's a great heel but what makes him a great heel is that he believes he's on top of the mountain...which is not going to be the case if he gets out of the Cruiserweight division. Hope he reclaims his title sooner than later.

I know completely how you feel.

The best thing about Corbin losing the MITB is that everyone kind of figured Nakamura would beat Mahal and Corbin would cash in on Sunday.

Granted, now they'll probably just do a crappy finish.

I think Mahal retains now. Same exact finish they always do: Bollywood Boyz interfere. Nothing like constant dirty finishes on PPVs.

Yeah I think Nakamura loses for a few ppvs and then wins the title. Mahal outsmarting Corbin and basically being on his game without having little interaction with Nakamura, nah, they're gonna do that whole "underdog rises up and wins" thing with him.

I say Mahal holds the title until Survivor Series where Nakamura wins.
 

Aiii

So not worth it
Guess Network subs aren't doing too well if they had to make sure Corbin was out of the way so shortly before the PPV.

So they hotshot the belt on raw for no reason, the summerslam match is still on.

Good call, having the guy who's held the belt for 8 fucking months straight drop it on raw as opposed to the giant PPV you have 6 days later.

I've never understood why people are brainwashed with this "title must change hands on PPV" bullshit

Because it's been almost twenty years since they started the format of titles changing hands on PPV's almost exclusively and Raw/Smackdown world title changes being very rare.

It almost never happens, so of course you're conditioned to not think the WWE title changes hands on Raw, outside of MAYBE the Raw after Mania because they treat it like a PPV.

It happens, sure, but it doesn't happen enough to have any realistic expectation of world title changes on TV.

Yeah sure but Sinatar seems angry just at the notion of a World title change on Raw/Smackdown. That seems strange.

I bet this is exactly what happens.
 
The injury that happened to him last year saved his career, I always loved his in ring work but as a baby face it didn't work at all. He owns the shit out of his character and deserves to break out of 205 and go for the WWE title.
