WHAT A MANEUVER!

NOBODY'S GOT MORE SPUNK THAN SHAWWWWWWWWWN MICHAELLLLLLLLS!

^Wait, what, Vince?

Vince is an underrated announcer if he's part of the 3-man booth with JR and King. By himself without JR to help tie things together...shew. And I'm a NewGen fan. The announcing was way weaker than the wrestling.

I cannot imagine what Eva Marie did to fail that test. You would have to perform in the first place for a performance enhancement to work. Maybe it's cocaine or something like Paige but I doubt it.

This is getting crazy, wonder if it has to do with the "No Suspension" of Brock, now we are testing and suspending everyone.

As a performer how do you not get pissed about the Brock issue? Reigns eats it for Adderall but Brock being juiced to his eyeballs gets nothing?

I'm sure Del Rio and Paige suspensions are due to recreational use. No idea for Eva Marie though.

If the rumors are true that Del Rio is leaving next month, this is a helluva way to get out of paying him his last 30 days. However, I would say it is something bigger if both Paige and the girl with the golden tits both got hammered.

and the thing that has been interesting to me is when Brock came back he was noticeably slimmer. Not like Barry Bonds but still.

Well at least Eva Marie's husband is taking up for her...

Pretty stupid to publicly ***** about it. Even if it's unjust just shut up. Piss Vince off by being a whiner and she'll be given the Benoit treatment.

No doubts it was probably stupid but not wise to stir up a hornet's nest when you're one of the main faces of WWE's reality show and are about to get a big push, which helps with movies and modeling.

Been going back and watching some of my favorite Summerslam matches and shows. Started with 1991 and 92 then 1998 and now watching 2000. The first TLC match is still one of my favorite matches of all time.

After this I plan on watching 2002, that one is still my favorite overall show.

Haven't watched the CWC yet but I am a little disappointed in who won tonight.

Is one of those the Hogan/Sid tag match or something where six turns on him? To me off the top of my head that was #1 all time

SD is getting hit hard and Shane O Mac and Bryan better come up with a way to stop this. So here is a few for ya and don't say I never done anything for ya.

Look for Undertaker to come back to Smackdown it will be a week before Thanksgiving or around Christmas. Nash is a lock at some point to come back very soon but to only fill in for a few weeks as a GM (not sure why or which one)

Kenny Omega is going to sign with the WWE and will be on the Raw roster. He'll feud with Rollins then they'll go from there with him. HHH for some reason views him as a big star.

Kenny Omega is crazy! Did you see the spot in the G1 Final?

So Gallows, Anderson, Omega, Balor, and Styles...hmmmmm

Daniel Bryan has the same amount of ability to sign people to Smackdown contracts that I have. Shane probably does too.

UT is WM only.

Kenny Omega would be awesome. HHH views him as a star because Omega has talent and is awesome.

That was what I noticed when Brock fought at UFC 200. He looked a heck of a lot slimmer and he seemed to get that way really quick. I know $$ is involved, but how can you allow him to fight when it was obvious that something was going on. Vince has the opportunity to do something to make the wellness policy seem legit, but he will let the $$ decide for him.

Kenny Omega is a different type of cat. I'm honestly surprised WWE hadn't given him a look earlier, or maybe they did and he turned it down. But if WWE can get over the fact that he isn't the biggest dude, he has instant superstar potential. Just an amazing sleazy heel. Maybe the best pure heel Japan has ever seen.

The match has since disappeared from YouTube but I saw him wrestle a match against Kota Ibushi where he took a frankensteiner from the top rope to the floor, which is for real the craziest bump I've seen in a wrestling match outside of the Edge/Jeff Hardy ladder spot.

But I found a highlight reel. Hope you like Christian rock!

I was listening to HHH's conference call concerning NXT Takeover and he was asked about the Crusierweights being only on Raw, since Daniel Bryan and Mauro Ranollo call the CWC and are on Smackdown.
He basically said that Raw has three hours to fill every week so that is why they will be on Raw. To me that sounds like "That's what Crazy Old Grandpa said to do, so I am doing it."

I wonder if NJPW throws Omega the belt in order to try to keep him around. It was logical to make him the Bullet Club leader once AJ left because of his outstanding heel work but if WWE signs him then you'd have to wonder what would become of the Japan version of the Bullet Club.

WWE is going to eat up all of the talent now that they have NXT. The indies seem to be getting smaller now.

Omega is great and so is Adam Cole. Both are solid heels.

Hot take: Did Marty Jannetty kind of suck? I mean...



Just because you can take the flip bump doesn't mean you have to do it every match. Except Rikishi. He can do it every time.

When WWE brought in the Rockers, the assumption was that Marty would be the breakout star from the team. He had a good match against Doink one time on Raw.

That's not even a hot take, it's just true. Granted, I didn't see Marty until the New Rockers gimmick with Al Snow so I can't really judge based on that. But yes, looking back he was not very good

Isn't that always the case when they break up teams? They guy that WWE (Vince) thinks will be a star never works out. Seems like the thought was that when they split up the Hardys that Matt would be the star (I could be wrong) and of course Jeff took off.

If you want to improve Smackdown - which really is the better show right now anyway - I think they have 2 answers sitting in NXT - Samoe Joe and Nakamura.

How much longer do they waste them in NXT?

So the best part of RAW and Smackdown this week had to be Heath Slater. They've given him more mic time since the brand split than they did the entire time he's been on the roster.

I'll never like Heath Slater because I can't get over the fact that no matter how lean or muscular he may be, he'll always have the little flabby piece of skin that hangs under his pecs like he used to have ***** tits and lost a bunch of weight. Something about weirdly shaped pecs always bothered me. Triple H's are among the worst. Enormous... but oddly shaped. Khali... Jesus Christ. Old Undertaker has this enormous gap between his that I can't get past.

Eh.

You focus waaaay too much on means pecs...try focusing more on women's asses.

Too lazy too look right now, but there has to be a compilation of exploder suplexes on YouTube right? Probably my favorite move to watch at the moment
