Nice Guy Eddie

Only Nakamura can pull off dressing like Nakamura.

I just bought my ticket for NXT Bethlehem. I'm really hoping we get ReDRagon and Adam Cole BAYBAY!

Jordan as Philip Markoff could work. Even better than Elias knowing The Ballad of Lacey would be Elias and Jimmy Jacobs duetting on The Ballad of Lacey.

Maybe they could have gotten the desired reaction in Memphis next week, but it was a bad idea to expect that in Brooklyn. New York/New Jersey/Philly isn't the right area for that and the crowds will always let them know.

WWE was asking for it. If the old man at the top and his yes men are that deaf to how their audience feels about Reigns and Cena, then they 100% deserve that kind of reaction.

I would have joined in on the beach ball action in the main event, too. Of the four participants, Joe is the only one I have any interest to watch. NXT was a home run. I'd say Summerslam and Raw were both doubles.

This is going to be a fun thread. Braun/Brock was fun to open the show. I'm looking foward to them throwing bombs at each other for ten minutes. I enjoyed Rollins/Ambrose vs. The Hardy's. The cruiserweight match was fun for what it was, but that division is dead in the water. I cringed watching Tony Nese bounce off Cedric's knees on the lumbar check. Cass and Jason Jordan are screwed. Splitting Enzo & Cass and American Alpha was a bad idea. I'm not sure where Joe goes from here. He probably fits better on Smackdown than Raw.

Jeff Jarrett, I guess?

You're spot on with the Zach de la Rocha comparison. I don't think that type of vocalist really fits a theme for Aleister Black. I would expect to hear something closer to King Diamond; based on Aleister's look, the set up of candles in his entrance, and his ring name being an homage to Alister Crowley.

I can only hope that we get Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon feeling that Nakamura deserves a rematch because of the Bollywood Boyz interference, and we get a cage match on SD. The Indo-Canadian champion didn't boost business in India, so it should be time to end the experiment. I almost checked out after Nakamura/Jinder, but I'm glad I didn't. My only gripe with the main event was that Joe definitely felt like an afterthought.

The main event and the Raw tag title match delivered. Owens/AJ could have, but didn't need Shane McMahon. Jinder beating Nakamura, why? Everything else was pretty meh. Takeover beat the shit outta this show.

Peter Rosenberg's jacket is an awesome homage to Bobby Heenan, so Jerry Lawler and James Ellsworth can go fuck themselves.

I think I was purposely trying to block Summerslam '94 and the Undertaker vs. Undertaker angle out of my mind. WWF was putting out a lot of really bad stuff at the time.

Maybe he figured that if Laurel married Grado, he could talk them into a ménage à trois.

King Kong Bundy would suggest otherwise.
