no, but for realsies tho, Nakamur has to win against Jinder right?
like, I've been saying Jinder will win more in a stuborn "vince is insane and wwe booking is garbage" meme way, but... you know... they are not feeding Nakamura to fucking Jinder Mahal right?
Come on now...

I would have said "Jinder should never win a title, right?" but here we are.

Not clean. Jinder could cheat to win. Seems early for a Nak title win
oh im not expecing a clean win just... like really? Thats what you went and raided NJPW for? Thts what you pay Nak a bunch of money? To continue to boost Jinder?

Seems early for a Nak title win maybe not. Or winning it from Jinder would be lame
then hes never winning since we all knew his mic kills would be bad with his broken english. Surely WWE also knew this.

Can't believe I retired from watching Smackdown's main event and missed the hilarity live.

Imagine not doing Nakamura vs styles at Mania for the title
Imagine being that Booker

Yeeso its a lose-lose situation is what youre saying

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife
They're waiting for the MYC to finish to do Kairi vs Asuka at the November Takeover
they will do it at some throw away PPV long before Mania probably. Thats why Nak's probably winning at SS, then have the usual "indie darling 3 month reign when it doesnt actually matter" between now and Rumble.
You know... like AJ had >_>

Sounds like something that Vince would do. He always do the opposite that people want.

"AT SUMMERSLAM WILL SHINSUKE NAKAMURA PUT THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON HIS MASTERPIECE!?"
That shit is hilarious.
That shit is hilarious.
Does he have as many nicknames as Seth yet?
That's why they gotta do the "babyface keeps losing to the smart heel so he'll keep trying until he gets it" program which is why he'll win it in a few months.
You mean the strong foreign heel who had over a year build on the main roster before he won the belt? You mean the major face who was on the main roster for at least 7 years before he won the belt?
You comparing them to a guy who's only been on the main roster for 4 months who sounds like a mumble rapper?
Sounds like a mumble wrapper? I think you need to check your sound system brah.
I think in-ring talent and promos that are good enough to be compared to the WWE champion could be seen as good enough to beat the man who was a jobber and had more of a gap in his employment than the length of time in the main event.

The way cash in works for Money in the Bank is incredibly stupid.
The whole point is the guy who holds it can take advantage of a situation, but the whole thing is ruined when it takes so much time to actually start it. Guy runs in, hands it to ref, ref talks to official, announcement is made, ref enters ring, rings the bell. The person holding it should be able to just run in and toss it to the official ring side and do their thing.
It kills the entire moment when you have so much waiting.

Can someone explain why Will Ospreay kept trying to do Okada's Rainmaker in the matches of the BOSJ this year?

Willie's talented, but he's constantly trying to put himself over.
Honestly, when I read Corbin failed, I kind of assumed the Singh brothers just ran in and beat the shit out of him.
The match only starts when there's two people standing in the ring, so yeah, you're kind of asking for a match that would never be started under normal circumstances. EDIT: I'm wrong, there's an edit out there that makes it look like that
Obviously, that's just logic though and they used to have the cash in when they're down. I think that's how Punk won it first time after a Batista bomb?
If he is, maybe he should show it sometime.

In what way?? His entourage are better than him. I'd like to see the bros bump their way to the tag titles.

That's why it's a great device for a heel. Never made sense why heel champions would stand and defend their title and not just lowblow them.

Ospreay is in CHAOS
The whole process seemed to change with each cash in. When Edge cashed in on Cena, Cena had to get to his feet...but when Daniel Bryan cashed in, Big Show (and Mark Henry on the fake cash in) were both on their back when the bell rung.
Nakamura's promos sounds like a Charlie Brown teacher's.
Dude sounds like Rocky Balboa after getting popped in the mouth.
When the crowd says "what" to him they're really wondering what he's saying.
Nakamura's gotta keep working on his promos.
As for in-ring skills, that doesn't dictate who wins the title. Styles didn't get the belt due to solely his in-ring skills. He got the belt due to his character, promos, in-ring skills and the fact he could do everything you needed him to do. That's why they're going to go with an "underdog Shinsuke can't beat the smart Jinder and his heel lackeys" so this way Shinsuke can lose for months before he wins the title due to the fact that when he wins it'll be worth more.
I'm pretty sure the heel champ DQing himself is the only MITB scenario that hasn't been done at this point. Everything else has been played out to death. MITB is a gimmick that needs to be retired.

Well, him cashing in is what made it a triple threat, but yeah.
I get that, but it means he has something when the current WWE champion brings 0 to the table.
