Ah yeah they also did Great American Bash last year over two weeks on July 1st and the 8th. So it's probably more of a happy coincidence than anything.

https://twitter.com/WWENetwork/status/1404271879255379968 Between that and Braun's lovely outburst defending Raquel that happened a little bit ago, it's little wonder she's about as popular as Kross. She has even less charisma than Kross.

I don't know, Kross has so little charisma he drains it from Scarlett That they put him over those 4 is just laughable lol

I, for one, am looking forward to Karrion Kross going to Raw so the valiant babyfaces can steal his hat that he suddenly starts wearing or throw apples at him or whatever.

I wonder if something happened with KOR. Seemed like he was earmarked for a big push as the next top face in NXT with the good matches against Finn and the big win over Cole. Then they trotted him out to do the Cool Kyle thing that was universally laughed at by forums fans and had him of all people eat the loss tonight and it kinda seems like he's dead in the water now.

The main event went about 26 minutes. Basically started a timer if Kross wasn't in the ring or not in any action. My rough count is he wasn't involved for over 13 minutes of the match. He basically worked half the match.

In case you are missing it, Braun is completely melting down on Twitter at the moment. Big "I'm not owned" energy coming from him. He's made a bunch of other really lovely tweets tonight as well. And to think Mark wants him for AEW. Good loving god.

Spiderdrake posted:Two of these matches look fine, one of them will be hilariously bad in probably a fun way but the fourth one is just all of my WWWWHHHHYYYY?? The funny thing is I'm not sure which match is which The Lashley vs Drew match is Drew loses he doesn't get another shot at the title (I think it's forever but it might be only long as Lashley holds it) Reigns doesn't really have any challengers. Bryan got beat and hasn't resigned. Edge has just disappeared since Mania. Cesaro got beat clean and back to feuding with Seth. Reigns attacked Rey cause they kept beating The Usos defending their titles as a way to show dominance over the Usos I guess?

I think they set up Rey being the next challenger when Roman powerbombed Eddie's son out of the ring onto the floor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmF-frUlXas&t=237s e: gently caress kevin dunn lol, theres like 90 cuts, and completely misses the murder Hirez fucked around with this message at 05:33 on Jun 14, 2021 |

Yea that was last week but the previous week Reigns got involved the the 2nd tag match of the night between the 4 and attacked Dominic just laying in elbows over and over, stopping and going back to it.quote:Suddenly, Roman Reigns ran in and hit Dominik with the superman punch for the disqualification.

Hirez posted:I think they set up Rey being the next challenger when Roman powerbombed Eddie's son out of the ring onto the floor There are too many cuts but the missing of the landing was intentional because he most certainly landed on a crash pad. Being awesome bombed to the outside without at least a table to break your fall would be a step too far for most wrestlers.

yeah I get that, but why bother with the theatrics if that's not going to be the feud going forward, just makes Rey and Dominick look like losers, but I guess this is the WWE

I mean, more power to WWE when they use things like camera angles and cuts to hide how they protect their sports entertainers, it's one of the things that defines televised wrestling... but it still kinda has to look good so maybe find an alternative to just cutting away the impact of a move.

Hang on, if Braun is dating one of their current Champions, and a Champion they seem pretty high on, and want to use for marketing purposes, (forgive the racism here, but it looks like they are having her push the "I'm Latina" angle pretty hard, maybe to woo the Latin audience), then all of that makes them suddenly sacking Braun even more inexplicable.

If I recall, the reason being reported for his release was he was being massively overpaid. I think it was $1m a year at the very minimum.

flatluigi posted:wwe hates wrestlers dating/being together/getting married and regularly either fires one of the two people or (back when touring was happening) would put them on different brands so they couldn't be together on the road Normally what you say is true, and there are a thousand examples of WWE loving with real-life couples. But I would offer as a counter example that they recently hired John Morrisson's wife Frankie Monet, even though they have less than no idea what to do with her. Another, (slightly less relevant due to circumstances), counter example is Seth and Becky. They even sold T-Shirts acknowledging them being a couple in real life, (The Man's Man). However I fully acknowledge that the majority of WWE's m.o. is loving with, and trying to break up real life couples.
