Cena's supposed to be moving to Raw after Summerslam anyway.

So you figure no god drat way does Jinder beat Cena, and Cena won't have his history making win a title he has to give up right after, it has to be Shinsuke.

Cena's history-tying reign was a transitional reign for a transitional reign for a transitional reign.

Extremely valuable scoops are rarely appreciated in their time

As the scoopster who broke the news of TNA being rebranded as GFW months in advance only to be blown off as a joke, I can understand the pain of not being taken seriously for your hard work in acquiring knowledge for people.

Stay strong, my friend.

As far as I can tell, KM is his ring name, at least in GFW.

I can definitely see him murdering Kurt at like, Survivor Series and then putting over Jordan at Mania or something like that.

Jason Jordan may not be the worst wrestler Triple H has ever faced at Mania, but he'd definitely stand out to me on his Mania list in the 'wait really?' way that A-Train does on Taker's.

Gee if only there was a match type designed to prevent interference, against the champion who only wins via interference. They might have a PPV named after that, I dunno.

if they actually pulled the plug on asuka at survivor series (which isn't happening, there's no way they'd do that) would that be the fastest fall from grace for an NXT star yet?

If Asuka isn't over enough after over 2 years of being undefeated to make a match with one of the biggest stars in fighting history feel big, then she should be fed to Ronda because those years have resulted in her being a net negative.

Blooming Brilliant posted:

I'd say people generally over estimate how much NXT overness translates onto the main roster. That's just my cynical opinion though.

It's not a question of NXT overness. A Ronda Rousey fight is bigger than Wrestlemania. Ronda vs. pretty much anyone in WWE, especially at their biggest show of the year, would be a big deal, so if Ronda/Asuka isn't big, it's because Asuka is dragging Ronda down hard.

I would argue if we're talking about 'workers' that the guy whose most notable thing in singles matches other than 'handed in a briefcase' is 'injures opponents and self' is probably not great at a fake sport.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure I could hear Vince screaming when she did the elbow during the countdown. (Even though that shouldn't be an issue because if it was real, why would you stop fighting and trying to take people out when the timer's going down?)

If wrestling were real, why would you do a top rope move ever when an opponent helpless enough to let that happen could just get punched in the face repeatedly?

Gaz-L posted:

Because there's no such thing as a ref stoppage in WWE.

In the time it would take to climb to the top rope, jump, and hit an elbow drop you could land like 20 punches to the face, which would hurt a fuckton more and put them in more of a position to be defeated than an elbow drop.

Or you could choke them out.

Or break their arm or leg.

Wrestling not being real is a major part of what makes it good.

The guy who runs WWELeaks says that end of broadcast means they are the champion still, otherwise bettors lose by default. So if Asuka wins the match but then loses to Carmella who cashes in, then the bettors lose that bet.

The guy who runs WWELeaks is a loving moron then, because if Nia wins by DQ she doesn't leave as champ.
