Jinder is being booked like Roman Reigns, without the talent, or the dread that this is what you'll be looking at for the next eight years.

The WWE made very little money last quarter so there's a lot of truth to this.

Man, y'know.

People say that the result of Cena/Wyatt at Wrestlemania buried Bray, but give John some credit, he at least sold Bray's spooky poo poo.

Now everybody on the roster just treats him like a loser. We can sell being put on a list, but we can't sell that Bray is a little intimidating. Xavier did both, at least. Xavier owns.

Orton v Jinder is going to be absolutely terrible. If even AJ can't drag a halfway decent match out of Jinder then Orton has no loving chance.

e: also I understand why they have contract signings for title matches but why the gently caress did they do one for a totally pointless 6-woman tag?

If Orton were Roman we could speculate how AJ had a false flag bad match against Jinder so Roman would look better having a decent match against Jinder. But you know, Orton isn't Roman so Jinder most likely just sucks.

Actually, you are mistaken. The no stakes, six women tag is incredibly important because... women's revolution.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Batista seems like a nice guy but he's only interested in doing a program with Triple H, which pretty much nobody wants to see.

better than wwe "gives no poo poo" somehow face randy orton.

backlash will be good. aj and ko will be a good match, breezango will make their day one h god willing, and nakamura is gonna destroy dolph ziggler. the rest will be alright at best, but those three i am legitimately excited for.

and then pete dunne is gonna be on takeover! and the three best women on nxt are having a match! maybe i'll watch the uk thing! but it'll be a good wrestleweekend, friends.

I'm surprised at how equal the match between Orton and Corbin was, but the highlight of the night was definitely the Fashion Police hoping that at Backlash, their day one will be H :shobon:

I've been in Italy for a week gorging myself on pasta and wine so I didn't watch wrassling:

1. I assume the Strowman injury timeline is a work and they're still planning on having him face Brock at Summerslam?

2. Did they really give away Balor's first clean loss/Roman's revenge on a throwaway Raw?

1. Nope it's real
2. Yes

I really hope they're not putting the strap on Jinder, he was really badly exposed last night as a bad promo and bad wrestler. He needs to go back to comedy jobbing like yesterday.

e: Apparently to fill out the Backlash card, they added Rowan vs. Harper and Aiden English vs. Tye Dillinger :confused:

When the drug test comes back positive for performance enhancing drugs.
Braun's injury is real, but he's not going to be out for 6 months.

Also, Jinder stood tall last night, he's not winning.

Alexa consistently shoots the treasure in gauntlet. I don't know why I find that so hilarious, but I do.

Like the rest of her playing is normal 'bad at video game' stuff but she'll collect every treasure except for one and then shoot it for 10 seconds straight.

Also I didn't know Lonely Island had a movie!
