It's mind-boggling how dense and irrelevant the cruiserweight division has become. Every month they take the 4 or 5 biggest names and throw them into a number one contendership match to face Neville. No story, no buildup. It's pretty tiresome in my honest opinion.

 

What happened with Gran Metalik? He debuted a while ago and hasn't shown up since

 

Looks like he was on Main Event twice as well, but yeah...I guess they have nowhere for him to really go. They are pushing Aries at the top, and Tozawa in the other matches...so, not a lot of room for him yet.

 

Instead of having a fatal fourway or fiveway or anything like that, they should just do a tournament for the number one contendership if there's no real set story. It's what got the cruiserweights noticed at first and it lets multiple people and stories shine

 

That's a shame. He was my favorite from the CWC and I had been really looking forward to seeing more from him. Hopefully they'll put him on soon

 

Agreed, they have enough on the roster to do an 8 man tourney

 

I don't know why I just thought of this, but I really would like to see Shinsuke hold and troll the shit out of everyone with the money in the bank briefcase.

 

Looks like Nakamura beat Ziggler after SD went off the air

 

DDP was on the LeBatard show today. Dan was pressing him about something and DDP did not like it. Said fuck you twice to him (once which was caught on air but video below has version with bleeps) and abruptly hung up.

 

damn DDP lost it. listened to the whole context and like, i guess Lebatard didn't know that the Steiner incident was that big of a hot button issue...and/or DDP thought he was trying to 'gethim' or something. DDP and LeBatard go from pretty normal banter to DDP yelling fuck you monkey really fast! sheesh

 

So I guess we aren't gonna see the universal title on TV till August huh?

 

Honestly thought you guys were exaggerating lesnar as champ (because my memory is shit) but guess you're right about barely seeing the universal title till ss

 

It's amazing to think Vince is completely alright with that. No wonder why Punk got up and left and will never come back.

 

And Naomi got stripped of the title for an injury that didn't even result in her missing a single PPV lol

 

"God dammit, pal." - Vince to all of you for not agreeing with him all of the time

 

I feel like this whole "Superstar Shakeup" thing was a pretty last minute call, both shows this week really spun their wheels for the most part. Hoping next week is exciting.

 

Why did DDP get so mad wtf?

 

I kinda get it. I spend like 90% of my life listening to Earwolf stuff and the like. Really goofy in format like the clip above is trying to pull off, and there is only ever a contentious moment once in a blue moon. It is the host's and the guest's agents responsibility to give the guest some kind of idea of what to expect when they're walking into a show like that. Dude just got inducted into the Hall of Fame and probably had people in his face all weekend, then calls in to an ESPN show and gets some lame-o attempts at humor.

 

Either way, Le batard is a monkey

 

Pretty weak SD really. The Nak debut was cool, but why was it done after that Miz segment? Why wasn't there a match? Is he going to feud with Miz haha

And this Wyatt family Orton thing has really run its course. I was liking back when Orton was a member, but now it's just going nowhere.

This seems like the worst time for this shake up...

I think that WWE is putting less effort in to PPVs in terms of debuts/returns etc. because of the network. They can coast and plug them for the two shows instead.

Just had to explain to someone what Wrestlemania was. It was weird how clueless he was about everything. I though Undertaker would be a name everyone knew. I was very wrong.

 

What would please you? Really curious. lol

 

A lot of people play dumb because they think wresting is so stupid etc.

Then they turn around and watch Dancing with the Stars.

 

PPVs being good and worth my hard earned $9.99 a month and time.

 

Yeah, but what would have to happen? You've shit on three nights worth of tv, but haven't suggested things to make them better.
