It's a good show imo. The scramble was a fun concept.

 

Anyway to tell who will be on a random Saturday ROH card in a few weeks if not on their site? Don't really follow them for the most part and I'm not expecting anything too crazy, but should I expect to see like BC/Castle/Ospreay and the like?

 

From my own experience they seem to post the card about a week before the show. Wouldn't guarantee every BC member and Ospreay but they may be there.

 

really hope they don't have Baron do a cash-in right after Nak (or anyone else) wins the title. they've gone that route 3 out of the last 4 cash ins (where the challenger beats the champ and then gets cashed in on) and they need to give it a rest.

also, aside from Cena because of course, from what i can gather Dean was the first cash-in that was done by a face / face-ish character. the MITB briefcase has really turned into a heel gimmick and i wonder if they expected / saw that when the idea first started.

 

Black/O'Reilly match was great. Really enjoyed the Asuka/Ember segment too

 

Hot Take @Henry: The Man of 1,004 Waifus

 

Sounding more and more like Bayley's injury is leading to time off.

 

KOR lookin like a heel

 

Is Henry a weaboo?

 

Just went down a wrasslehole so deep that I wound up on Kwee Wee's Wikipedia page. That is a concrete sign that it's time for bed.

 

yes

 

That explains a lot

 

ya know, I honestly have no idea what weaboos or waifus are and I'm cool with that.

 

what are half of these words on the last page or so

 

Nxt main event was really good. I love everything about Aliester Black. Episode probably moved him past Jose and Cross for my "favorite nxt superstar"

 

Spoiler tag any explanation, please. I feel like this is something I'm going to want to stay ignorant about.

 

lots of news today!

-Io Shirai isn't going to the WWE because they weren't satisfied that her neck will hold up without surgery. She'll be sticking to Stardom. Such a bummer.
-As far as the Summer Slam main event finish goes, the attempt is very strong to keep this one under wraps, so it’ll be interesting the last day or two when it comes to the odds. The story as it is said right now is that nobody on the writing team, no producers, and no participants except Lesnar (whose deal is that he knows everything well in advance) will be given the finish until the last minute.
-They are weighing their options on Enzo. Could mean 205 Live or NXT. My guess would be 205 Live.

 

Concerning that Io Shirai is just saying whatever to the neck injury.

 

i dont see how Enzo can be on 205 live though. The WWE has told you since day 1 that this guys is awful at wrestling, so idk what it says to put him in a division where the whole thing is "wow, these guys do some GREAT wrestling stunts"

i mean logistically, you guys think Enzo can wrestle a cruiserweight match?

 

Its two fold. He's going to be in the ring with guys who can carry him through a match and people are going to watch it for him. Meltzer was saying that his quarter hour ratings are the best on Raw, so people are definitely sticking around for his scthick. They are going to capitalize on his viewership and merch sales wherever they can.

 

you're going to have to take your time then. Really build with him. Can't just hot shot him into a program with neville for the CW title.

 

Okay, I will

 

How bout enzo does stuff that doesnt involve wrestling

 

I think Enzo would be a perfect manager for the Usos.
