Enzo isn't just bad in the ring, he's just not believable at all. I'm not even quite sure who to compare him to, he's that bad.

Edit: maybe David Flair?

Let's see how this pans out. But I have no counter argument lol

This is probably good in the short term for Cass (Big Show feud, short rub, maybe hovers on the upper midcard for a bit), but he'll need to evolve for it to pay off. Zo has the gift of gab, but unfortunately little else going for him - I can't see him staying afloat as a solo act, so his future depends on who he latches onto.

Samoa Joe continues to be the most compelling thing on WWE television. There's no way WWE has Brock drop the belt to him, but he's good enough that it'd be justified.

Not specifically about Raw - Xavier Woods and Samoa Joe showed up on the couch for Giant Bomb's E3 Night 2 recap. Some quality stories in here, especially one about the trombone gimmick.

Agreed on somoa Joe. Talk about taking full advantage of an opportunity. I realize it's not likely he beats Brock but if they don't at the very least book Joe to look strong in the loss I'll go ape shit.

So tomorrow marks 10 years since the discovery of the Benoit murders.

Damn... that event had a "remember where you were when you heard the news" feel to me

Mauro and Bobby Fish in NXT. Happy.

Still not sure what to think about that incident. There's a missing piece to the story we don't know about...

More consequently, this is the event that caused the PG era, wrestling hasn't been the same since

Man, get all the fuck the way out of here with that Benoit conspiracy shit.

The majority of the content of those videos is debunking various Benoit conspiracies

Ascension getting screen time over American alpha? What the fuck is going on with that

They may be the ones messing with Breezango. Not sure if that makes them faces or heels though.

They are both future Main Event guys.

I thought that too. But a heel turn already? Too soon. I'm thinking it's the authors of pain.

That Enzo promo this week. Straight fire.

Predictions for Joe vs Lesnar?

They should have Joe win, but that shit won't happen. Putting the strap on Lesnar was beyond retarded.

Lesnar wins, possibly in dominant fashion.

So Aires is out of the company, and KO dropped the US title to Styles at a house show? Wtf is going on with the E today?

30 min iron match was great, as was the joe and lesnar match... though I wish the ending was a little less abrupt

Roman flying into the ambulance was hilarious. Hopefully they follow through on him turning heel and broken Matt too

Honestly, Aires WWE run was pretty terrible, and I'm an Aires fan...

He was noticeably out of shape and didn't do a good of job of adapting to the WWE style of working in the ring

Man did Roman look hella-3rd wheelish in that segment last night. Joe vs Brock is magic right now. I seriously did not follow Joe at all in TNA much, was he always this good a promo?

Holy shit that was a good smackdown last night. They're kind of messing up this styles Owens series. But Gable has a great future. Fashion files was hilarious and the shinsuke almost breaking cena's neck was awesome

Summerslam anyone?

alpha wrote:Summerslam anyone?

Alexa bliss looking sexy as fuck tonight

Should have kept the strap on her

Is this a record for title changes in one night? Lol

Overall great summerslam

Universal, raw tag and US matches were all outstanding

Raw women's, wwe champ, wyatt/balor all above average

didnt watch pre show but heard smackdown tag and cruiserweight were great too

Pretty boring show IMO. Fatal 4 way was good, but I thought the match was a bit short.
