Pro Wrestling is FAKE!?!

Love Jinder. You cannot hinder him.

Anyone going to Battleground in Philly?

Shane was just involved in a helicopter crash. He is fine. Further proof that he is unkillable.

It is being recommended that Paige be charged with battery.

Lessnar heading back to UFC and dropping the belt? He needs to drop the belt. A part time champ doesn't cut it. The first time he did it was a huge build plus the Undertaker streak ending. This is trying to capture the same and failed miserably.

[Roose13]

This hasn't really failed though. Every time Lesnar is on TV no I hold my breath. So many people ate up the Joe build, and are now going to eat up this build toward SummerSlam.

It's frustrating that it's not on TV all the time, but I think it's raised the prestige of the Universal Championship by having Goldberg and Lesnar both hold it. It'll be treated as a title of value once it's off his shoulder when it's all said and done.

I saw those rumors yesterday as well. But I also saw this article saying it's not true

Just watched the Kurt Angle WWE 24. This is the best thing WWE has ever done, other than Ernest "The Cat" Miller's theme song.

Very good points

It was spectacular

[BotheLaneFan]

Brock is negotiating by saying he doesn't plan to come back...just like he did last time. He clearly enjoys doing this (given that he allegedly added more dates way below his standard rate) and will probably work a schedule a little more limited than the one he worked this year for the next 3-5 years.

[Roose13]

I said it a couple years ago and I'll say it again. Brock would be dumb to go back to UFC and get his ass beat for realsies when he can make more money to entertain, protect his body and be looked upon as a fucking god. He has something no WWE superstar today has and that's the believability that he will kill someone in the ring. It makes him a must-watch commodity and will keep him over until the end of time.

Jinder
Rusev
New Day
Styles
Becky
Nakamura
Zayn

[chadizzy1]

Rusev needs the W more than Cena, but I bet they give it to Cena because America

[chadizzy1]

Anyone think it was one of Breezango who was trashing the office? I can't think of any tag team that would have done it. I could imagine we'll see a Tyler Breeze heel turn or something - that would be great. I bet he'd make a fantastic heel.

Cena is gonna rack up the Ws until he wins title No. 17 and goes on a long hiatus.

It's Harper and Rowan most likely.

I hope so. They need to do something with Luke. I don't particularly care either way for Rowan's character - but put him with Harper, who I like, and I might have more interest in the two of them together. They could wreck the tag team division.

I'd be conflicted though - I like Breezango, too.

I wouldn't mind them putting Harper/Rowan on a tear and have them feud with AOP when they come up. Would be amazing.

Mahal
Styles
Cena
Nakamura
New Day
Natalya
Zayn

[chadizzy1]

I will say if New Day wins I don't want them to have the titles for a long time. A 2-3 month run is okay with me

[chadizzy1]

Did not see that happening. Even the betting odds highly favored Tye.

[Roose13]

Nice! I thought they would win via DQ and get the titles at SS.

I just don't want them to have the titles forever. With teams like Revival and Breezango, I still want to see different teams getting the straps.

[Roose13]

Well Revival is on Raw. Breezango won't hold the titles sadly. I hope I'm wrong but I just don't see WWE doing it.

EDIT: I'm a huge Tyler Breeze mark. Always a fan of his. Thought he was the glue that held the first wave of the NXT main event scene together. Also a little biased because he follows me on Twitter

I wasn't really crazy about either Tyler Breeze or Fandango. I didn't watch Breeze in NXT. I liked Tyler, thought he was funny, but didn't really get into their characters until Breezango. Now they're both favorites.

Naomi is in her gear? She's totally getting cashed in on.
