Can just imagine Bobby Heenan.... "That's not a belt, Monsoon. Lashley is using a tourniquet to stop Braun's bleeding! What a humanitarian." "Will you STOP?"

Turning evil after repeated hyperbaric chamber sessions sounds like the plot of an Asylum horror film.

The Demon and The Man.

The biggest problem is that if anyone watched his Chronicle episode, they know Dean is emotional about Roman and their relationship. Reigns is the light-hearted friend a hardened guy like Ambrose needed and for now, that's gone and Dean's way of coming to terms with it is go back toward the dark side. If they showed where Roman's illness broke Dean and he couldn't handle losing the one friend who hadn't betrayed him, so the old wound Seth inflicted came back to the surface? That's compelling, especially if Seth has to work through the guilt of his past transgressions while trying to reach Dean's goodness. The way they're doing it now, however, it feels like the only way they can get heat is through Roman. That it's the only way to keep Dean heel and hope everyone stays behind Seth for protecting Roman's honor. And if they have to depend on a guy at home with cancer to move the narrative--OOF.

Birdman had a beloved animal mascot. Sasha has Bayley. Koko 1 Sasha 0

Just watched Ronda vs Charlotte. God DAMN. That was RINGS meets JCP. That match had damn near no build, but was a hate-filled, violent fight for no damn reason except to see who the fuck is the goddamn best, then Charlotte SNAPPED. Way I see it, they just showed Gargano, Black and Ciampa how it's really done. Round 2 is gonna be a motherfucker.

Ric will bandwagon for anyone if the check clears.

The best part of Dean's heel turn is going to be when Renee kicks Corey's balls through his mouth. #TeamDean

MMC has had a higher body count than Brawl for All.

Well, not wrong.

Undertaker's looking rather voluptuous on that sweater.

It’s less about the meaning of the term, and more about the use of the term so soon after controversially holding a PPV in a country whose ruler ordered the dismemberment of a dissident.

Who cares what they think? Someone on the internet may have been offended!

How dare you besmirch the good name of High Energy by comparing them to Sasha.

It doesn't matter if they ran the promo by Roman or not. There's literally no reason to continue invoking Roman's name. None. Nothing is gained from it. It's especially gross when you basically say Roman has cancer again because of what he's done, whatever that might. It's just fucking repugnant.

Hahha Bagley and Sashetty lost.

This.

Fuck the orange racist.

With Nia being the top heel, Meng would not be the equivalent as Meng was never the top heel. I'd say a better equivalent would be Nia is Earthquake and Tamina is Dino Bravo

There is actually a YouTube playlist of Monsoon / Heenan classic WWE moments called WILL YOU STOP? I am sad that the Bobby The Brain commentary moment that has made me laugh the most was Heenan dying of laughter during a Hacksaw Jim Duggan match where Sciavone had mentioned that Duggan was an intelligent man. That was in WCW, not WWE.

Why should she not accept a title match or try to win said title match by breaking up a pin?

Becky earned a one on one title match through hard work and beating everyone, and Charlotte took that away from her when she was given an opportunity to enter the match immediately upon her return. Becky earned the championship in the three way match by having the champion pinned for a three and Charlotte took that away by attacking her from behind and stealing her pin. Becky earned the championship again by beating Charlotte one on one. The only participation trophy Becky needs is one for beating Charlotte so thoroughly it caused her to snap on Ronda.

The only time Tamina was ever interesting was playing the Diesel to AJ Lee's Michaels. Aside from that, she's basically a gatekeeper heel that it doesn't feel impressive to beat. She's been around almost ten years and never come close to winning a belt, or even winning a feud, so beating her means nothing.

Tamina is a top heel on the flagship show and she gets crickets when her music hits. That's crazy that she's being put into that position and nobody even cares about her. And she sucks in the ring too.

And yet, not even most repulsive thing this company has done this month. #highbar

I've seen multiple snakebite victims, but in my game they've been different dudes (a white guy and a black guy). Are you guys blowing them instead of just giving them medicine? This might be why you're getting repeat customers.

The only time the Money In The Bank cash in really bugged me was the Rollins one. Where he cashed in during a match. This could have been mitigated if the announcers acted like it was abnormal and later explain HHH had altered the MITB contract for Rollins. Instead its treated as normal and something that was always known. I don't even need it to be like "real" sports. But for them to have an internal logic and stick to it. Hustle would do wacky sci fi shit, but they stuck to the rules they established. WWE can't even remember three months ago in an era where rewatching is easier than ever.

You can never be too young to analyze worked punches. Did anyone hear Coach say Nia threw a punch that "actually landed"

Every.... single.... thread.....

I despise everything about Hitchcock's brand of hockey and that's all the words I can type without saying something nasty.

Which one? I'd say both.

Hopefully his HOF plague will have people touching his head

Even funnier is the nature of the wins 21 point win over the Vikings???? Winning a game by 31! Winning by one point over the Titans is probably what we all expected

Except no, not at all. Becky earned a one on one title shot. Then Charlotte was inserted in it, and won. Becky was rightfully pissed she didn't get the shot she earned. Then she finally got the one on one match, kicked Charlotte's ass and earned the title. Then she kicked her ass again for good measure.

Nah. In the context of kayfabe or SPORTS Triple Threats are bogus crapshoots where it pays to be the perfect combination of sneaky and lucky in order to win. Charlotte is the one who wormed her way into the match at Summerslam after having previously lost a recent one-on-one title rematch to Carmella because she hurt her leg like a clumsy idiot trying to jump off the top rope. And if anybody should know the pratfalls associated with going to the top turnbuckle, it's Ric Flair's daughter. (Daddy was 10-for-10,286 in actually executing a flying maneuver and not getting press slammed off the top turnbuckle). Becky's beef was always legit. She earned the title shot first. By the way, Charlotte didn't win the one-on-one match the next month. Besides the way they decided to book their SPORTS part of the Smackdown Women's Division was so nonsensical between WrestleMania and Summerslam that you can throw that garbage right out the window and ignore who deserves what according to SPORTS. Distractions or no distractions, Carmella was going over everybody clean or close enough that there was no longer any point in taking the SPORTS part seriously. Any win earned sans weapon or without the intervention of actual physical outside interference still means you're clever enough to win on your own; while also making the opponent look like an idiot and instantly discrediting them. That's on the creative team, not the fans. If they don't even take the shit remotely seriously, the audience shouldn't be expected to.

Sasha and Bayley came off looking like a 90s jobber tag team tonight, complete with attire somewhere between Sparkplug-era Bob Holly and High Energy.

Thank Christ.

The Blues have fired Mike Yeo; assistant coach Craig Berube is now the interim head coach.

The Pacers have navigated the loss of a franchise player as well as anyone in the last 15+ years.

You’d think but then I remember when Paige dropped that line about Reid Flair that they didn’t bother asking Ric if it was okay to use.

To put it in perspective: Dean said The Shield did more harm than good, that people loved them but didn't know how rotten to the core they were. Dean goes on to say time has caught up to them and they have to pay for what they've done. Look at Roman, Dean claims, who has to answer to God for what he's done. Seth has it worse, however, because he has to answer to Dean. It landed badly. No one was into it.

That comment of Roman getting what he deserves with his cancer went over bad. The crowd seemed too shocked to even boo. Seems like they had Dean sort of walk it back later by saying his fight with Seth wasn't about Roman. But the damage was done. Is Braun legit hurt? That elbow spot looked nasty. Not a good show.

I LOVED Lashley cosplaying as "The Natural" Butch Reed.

I liked the evolution of Winn on Supergirl from goofy pal to agent of the DOA, but Brainiac 5 has been a huge improvement in the slot.

It's just going to be 15 minutes of Konnan throwing shoes at Low Ki.
