I can deal with the fact that the streak is over, I'm more upset at how shitty booked it was.

Oh well new streak is S.H.I.E.L.D. at 2-0.

Michael Cole, Cesaro, and AJ are all 1-0. There is still hope!   

Cesaro won 2 matches last night  

He actually lost on the Pre-show.

I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS

No, really, Bad News Barrett was injured in this week's SmackDown taping, no word yet on whether he will be at Money In The Bank.

Some news out of >lolTNA that may actually be good for them, they are bringing back the six-sided ring that was really popular with the fans, and made them stand out as a promotion (in a good way, unlike every other way they stand out)

Yeah just before Wrestlemania 28.

Emma has been fired, and re-hired. She was fired because she was arrested for stealing an iPad case from Walmart. I'm guessing she was re-hired due to the fact that they is an Australian tour next month, and she's being billed as a big draw (I'm guessing they're going to book her against AJ/whoever the champion is for the WWE Divas Championship every night.)

Also explains why she wasn't at Santino's party.

[Alta]

Supposedly it was either the backlash from fans/mainstream press or that the supposed robbery was actually an error with the self-checkout stall at the Wal-Mart

[Lucstar88]

Mostly got reinstated cause WWE knew it would of looked bad if they fired Emma, yet have several performers that have DUI, even smoke weed (Jack Swagger ). Good for them to bring her back, but they said, she has to deal with the consequences.

The thing is, some of the performers are American, while Emma is Australian, and if someone not from the US gets busted by the law, they could end up losing their visa for it.

Damn, that taping was two months ago.... I saw the moment a while ago on Instagram. Give Dixie credit, she took a pretty mean bump.

Another person who's recently been let go by WWE is their timekeeper Mark Yeaton, who has worked with the company since the 80s.

Great PPV

Worst match = Orton VS Reigns

Best = CENA GETTING MASSACERD

It's about time the shit factor of professional wrestling put someone over clean.

Awesome Summerslam.

Ambrose and Rollins was great. Lesnar/Cena match was murder as expected.

[Spannerhead29 (Nelson)]

It's about time the shit factor of professional wrestling put someone over clean.

He put Bryan oven clean.

The fact that a counter-RKO wasn't the finish, yet a basic spear was, annoyed the shit out of me.

Also, 4th year in a row, and 5 out of the last 6, where SummerSlam had a heel ending.

[Spannerhead29 (Nelson)]

Don't want to sound like MAGGAL here, but the WWE Network is worth the $9.99, just for NXT alone. But every PPV ever including the live ones makes it so worth it.

[PackerMan71]

It's about time the shit factor of professional wrestling put someone over clean.

He put Bryan oven clean.

Uh, no, that was not a clean win for Bryan, because Cena was not at 100%, and even though it seemed like a clean win since Bryan pinned him using the running knee, Cena was on RAW the very next night cutting a promo on the freaking elbow. "I'm not making excuses, but look at my elbow." So, no, Cena did not put over Bryan clean, nor did he put the Rock over clean, because 11 months after that match, Cena was cutting promos heading into their rematch making excuses as usual. "Well, I got cocky. This time, I'm more focused." With Cena, it's not the other guy beat him because the other guy was better. It's always because of "insert excuse here".

That's the type of crap that Cena pulls, and he can get away with it because he's the safe pick for WWE. He's not gonna run out like the other superstars did, and he also has creative control over his character, which is one more thing to add to the equation. It's mind-boggling to me that the WWE would self-sacrifice their own talent just for the sake of one guy. I just don't get it, and you see what kind of financial trouble it's landed them in as a result.

I think he put Brock over clean because I think he knew that Brock could whip his ass legitimately if he didn't do the job clean.

No, he put Bryan over clean, they just found a way to make the main Championship storyline not involve John.

The reason Cena wasn't in the championship storyline was because he did have a legit injury. He had fluid in his elbow and he needed it to be drained, and he cut a promo the very next night on RAW calling attention to the elbow, so IMO, no, he didn't put Bryan over clean, but whatever, to each his own.

[PackerMan71]

It's about time the shit factor of professional wrestling put someone over clean.

I'm quoting myself here, because this statement is sadly no longer true.

Apparently, there was a segment on RAW last night where John Cena basically cut a promo saying that the reason he lost to Brock Lesnar was the same reason he lost to the Rock. He wasn't "focused" at SummerSlam, but at Night of Champions, he will be focused. *facepalm*

That, my friends, is how you take a clean victory away from someone.

This is the type of bullshit that the WWE does for the sake of this guy, and it makes me sick. They always have to make excuses for this guy, and that's why he never seems to put anybody over clean because of the damn excuse making. They just can't help themselves and they can't get out of their own way. Same shit, different day, that's the WWE way. I just don't get why the WWE would do all this crap just for the sake of one guy. I don't get it.

[RealRacingRoots]

WWE had a legit shot to make John Cena into what they always market him as, The Underdog, with BRAWK LESNAR. And Vince himself (according to dirt sheets) wrote Cena being A-OK the second RAW after Summerslam. Bork giving Cena 16 Collegiate-Wrestling German Suplexes, the ground and pound, Brock giving Cena pity, meant nothing as soon as Cena walked to the stage, talked to Disco Stu, and went to the Legends Forum as if he lost via Count-Out at Summerslam. Instead they are spinning it into some story with The Authority that I am having issues following at the moment. In short, THEY HAD A GOOD STORY WITH JOHN CENA, and they ruined it.

Might as well fork over $9.99 Per Month to watch NXT, because that will be the best thing WWE has going and will be for years to come.

Can't wait for NXT Takeover with the 4-way!!!

WWE has really been crap since SS, because Vince makes the final decision... Hope when he gives the company to HHH, it goes into better hands... also Kevin Dunn should be the first to go.

Watched some of the NJPW G1 Climax. Great wrestling.  (Also AJ Styles is BETTER THAN HIS TNA CAREER). Better than Raw... Smackdown now is worse since Heyman left, when he co-wrote with Steph.

EVEN FREAKING TNA HAS BETTER STUFF NOW AND THEY'RE ABOUT TO DIE!!!

Please nix the Bella Twins. Thankfully HHH has the best idea of keeping his rookies in NXT so they won't get into this mess. Charlotte, heck the divas in NXT (Including Paige, Emma) are way better than Total Divas like Eva Marie, CAN'T wait until Steen, Kenta and Devitt. Along with Zayn, Breeze, NXT Champ Neville, Kalisto looks good! Future is in good hands with HHH!


Would waste 9.99$ for NXT and PPV's!

What? So what you're saying is Brock now won dirty? Fucking anti-Cena smarks everywhere.

I don't even like the Sports Entertainer John Cena, but he isn't the fucking Hitler of Professional Wrestling.

[PackerMan71]

Nelson, I don't know what your malfunction is, but whatever.

If you don't agree with my opinion, that's fine, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna change how I feel, regardless if you resort to attacks, so don't waste your time. :/

[flyingturns89]

I must admit, I am sick of Brock showing up about once every six months, winning a couple big matches, and then disappearing again. The fact that they've given him the championship with that schedule just seems like bad business, especially when you consider that there really isn't anyone with enough momentum in WWE right now who could beat him. If anyone beats him, it will probably be Reigns or Cena, but right now that's a stretch.
