RoH spoilers from the tapings last night seem to signal what has been rumored for a bit now.

 

Yeah, I'm guessing the end of that story is at Supercard.

 

"No fucks given" Big Show is the best.

 

Then another 90 days or so (read WWE likes to wait that long to sign talent leaving other promotions) so maybe an appearance at Takeover Brooklyn.

The 90 days thing is why I think Kyle O Reilly hasn't been booked anywhere for a bit.

 

As much as I'd like to see Shibata/Ishii again, I think SANADA is gonna take it.

 

I fucking love Sanada, so I'm about that life.

 

Yeah this weekend had some crazy results. I kind of like it though. A bit more unpredictable than most stuff nowadays. Plus that Omega/Ishii match was awesome!

 

I just want Shibata vs. Okada at this point.

 

If that doesn't earn him a contract idk what will

 

Holy fuck

 

Fuckin awesome

 

It begins

 

Watching NXT from this past week

"Tye Dillinger has one thing on his mind, and that is ridding his life of Sanity"

might have been a better way to phrase that...

lol @ Percy Watson adding Moon has never been defeated (not sure, she has lost a fatal fourway for #1 contender) after Phillips said she has never been pinned or submitted (which is true, and phrased that way specifically because she lost the fourway)

 

He's also a goddamn homicidal maniac

 

So, thoughts from the Smackdown house show I was at last night

- The womens match at WM could actually be pretty good, but pray its not involving Tamina. She was a botchfest. Even missed stepping up to the ropes in the corner on her entrance

- Kalisto is WAY OVER with kids. Makes sense why he's still relevant...it was like entering bizzaro world with 1000 kids all yelling "Lucha". American Alpha on the other hand...not so much. Probably more Uso fans honestly.

- Corbin was better than Miz at drawing heat throughout the his match. Probably helped he was facing Dean, but, he stood out the most to me.

- AJ/Randy are clearly a step above everyone else on the roster. You could just feel the style change once they entered...so much better at selling and working.

Long term, its pretty clear everyone wants to chant for AJ and Bray. They could turn either face in a heart beat.

 

Owens squashed again

 

That's all Lesnar does, especially on house shows

 

Lesnar and Goldberg literally have two moves.

 

Crowd sounded lukewarm to that match at most lol. Lesnar's act is old.

 

If you look at last year it was probably his worst, he had that really underwhelming mania match and didn't do much outside of it other than lose to Goldberg. I think this is his last run.

 

and murder orton

 

I totally forgot about that

Edit: re-remembered now. Makes even more sense why he's so much less over, orton was super peak over at that time

 

A lot of folks speculate that the reason they started pushing him so hard was to make up for what happened on that show. Makes a lot of sense. He and Bray were always going to be a weird fit.
