Even if it was for the World Title, it still wouldn't be good because they would be rushing Big E. And we all know WWE's track record when it comes to rushing guys to the World Title. Del Rio and Ziggler should conclude the feud at SS in a stipulation match where Ziggler should retain.

If it were me I'd atleast let Big E get a chance to get over and use his "5" shtick first. I'm assuming though that they are trying the whole HBK/Diesel type of program here.

Except they're rushing it. If they waited until at least Hell In A Cell or Survivor Series to build this match properly then it won't hurt nobody in the long run.

Bork Laser Wins The Loyal Mumble.
[YT]FHSwZmkg6AE[/YT]
Here Bork Laser win the Loyal Mumble after eliminating Deadman. Big Red Man and Buttista were also involved. Buttista even try to hit Deadman with Metal Chair but get a Huge Boot for it.
 
I'm assuming AJ and Big E will turn on Dolph. It could help set up Big E as a huge threat on Mark Henry's level. They wouldn't need to give him the WHC. Just make us believe he COULD win it. Hulk Hogan had plenty of challengers who were built that way (Earthquake, for example).

It doesn't need to be for the belt, though. They could have Big E and/or AJ cost Ziggler the match this weekend. Let Del Rio feud with someone else (perhaps whoever wins the blue briefcase).

If they do that, Ziggler goes over E and then continues to work high profile angles until having his WM Moment next year. E moves on to work an angle with someone like Christian who can put him over an make him look like a star in the process.
 
How did the Bork Laser thing get started? I mean what's the origin?

I think Ziggler should still win it and have the slow build of Big E as a dominant heel.

YouTube video tried to dodge copyright problems, so the uploader named a video with Brock Lesnar vs Zach Gowen "Bork Laser beats up one leg man". From then on, the joke caught on. Hell, I think I saw three signs when I was live at Mania this year.

Ah okay.
 
Never thought there would come a day where I'd say I'm looking forward to a Mark Henry match, but this Sunday is that day. Two years, he said we didn't believe. I believe now.

Only a matter of time now before his HOF induction!

Too bad that match sucked. Then again, Mickie was green in the ring at the time.

Really? I thought it was one of the best Women's matches ever. I haven't seen a great one since then until Beth had her trilogy against Candice and recently, AJ against Kaitlyn.

Or they could have where Langston attacks AJ and Dolph decides to go after him for that.

They should split them up. I think Naomi is ready for a singles run.
 
Yeah. I'm guessing that's from their match at Wrestlemania 22. Probably the last time in a women's title was treated seriously and presented as such at the show.

Yes on all points. I still think they should do AJ vs Trish at Mania 30, what better event to do a generational Divas match?

In an interview with Busted Open Radio, Steve Austin commented on possibly working at Wrestlemania 30:

“When you’re gonna try to commit to do a WrestleMania 30, you’re looking really at, at least a two to three month commitment, if not four,” Austin said. “So you know you’re talking about, taking everything else of the table. I can still do my podcast but take everything else off the table and focus specifically on that task. To do it the way I would do it, to do it the way ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin would do it, at a 120 percent. Because to go out there and to try to perform at 85-90 percent because you didn’t prep enough. That would be bogus, that would be BS that would be letting the crowd down. And that would be representing the ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin that I know and love to a degree that is not acceptable. So once you throw a legitimate, real deal offer down on the table and say let’s talk, then we’ll talk. But until then, conjecture.”

Austin added that he’s “not lobbying for a match,” and if WWE wants to do business for WM30, it would be a “major process.”

“If the stars lined up, then it would happen, but it’s going to take a lot for those stars to line up,” Austin said. “No sense in beating a dead horse. To think about it is one thing, to actually go out, come to terms and go through the business prep and actually accomplish a match, it’s a whole different ballgame and a major process.”

Austin also commented on CM Punk when the hosts brought up Punk’s name.

“I like his product in the ring,” Austin said about Punk. “I like to see him turn it up more in the mainstream. I like to see a little more physicality, laying in stuff a little more. I like to see him be a little bit more aggressive. That’s just off the top of my head. Other than that, I like everything about the cat.”

On Monday after Raw Austin tweeted Punk with "Lay your s**t in bro, it's TV." and I agree with him, the match with Orton was good but Orton, Sheamus and Bryan's strikes all looked better on that night.

I also think he should go back to the running bulldog off the high knee in the corner, the short-arm clothesline he has been using since he came back looks weak as he just doesn't have the upper body to get the power behind it.

Their match from Death Before Dishonor III is still one of the greatest matches I've ever seen.

Punk's promo afterwards was arguably his best ever ROH promo. The match was good but I think they could have an even better one now.

- The Wyatt Family will be working a six-man match at this year's SummerSlam pay-per-view, most likely against Kane and two partners to be determined.

We noted before that WWE wanted to do The Shield vs. Kane and The Undertaker at SummerSlam but word now is that Taker re-injured himself in the last WWE TV spot he did with The Shield where they put him through the announcers table. Taker could be out of action until WrestleMania XXX.
Disappointing, I mean how did they not know he was injured back when the spot was done? JBL has been pushing the "It's their yard" thing again recently so I hope Taker doesn't just forget about the angle when he comes back like he forgot about Barrett, Nexus and Kane all burying him alive.
Regarding Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns defending at SummerSlam, it could be against the team of Randy Orton and Sheamus or the team of Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger. We noted before that Dean Ambrose will likely defend the United States Title against Christian at SummerSlam.
I can't see them doing heel vs heel but Rollins & Reigns vs Orton & Sheamus would be pretty good and could set up a heel turn for one of them when they lose.
- The current plan is to do Dolph Ziggler vs. Big E Langston at SummerSlam. At one point WWE wanted to do Big E vs. Mark Henry.

My guess is this wont be for the title. Del Rio is doing the best work of his WWE run right now and is genuinely getting some heat as he finally has something to get his teeth into. I also think having Dolph chase a bit longer and building up his status as a face would be wiser than simply hot potatoing the belt back to him before the fans have truly had a chance to get behind him and get into the story of him trying to regain the WHC and finally have a title reign.

Okay, that sounds awesome.
Hey that's at the Elk's Lo- Oh, oh ****, that's DGUSA. **** that noise.
 


I watched this tonight, pretty solid show.

Jay Briscoe vs Adam Cole was a good main event, it's been a long time since I've seen the Briscoes and Jay looks to have developed into a quality singles wrestler. He's an interesting mix of technical ability and stiff striker, if they let him just be the badass redneck I could actually see him doing ok in the WWE.

On the other hand his brother Mark seems to have morphed into the long lost son of Bushwhacker Luke.

Adam Cole is a decent wrestler but he's vanilla to look at, he needs to fix that and he's got a future beyond the indies.

S.C.U.M is an even worse heel faction than Aces & Eights when it comes to the "I don't want to see any member wrestle" factor.

I continue to be baffled by Steen, he's not even a good worker which is usually a minimum requirement for an ROH favourite.

Maria really has developed her craft as a heel valet, it's a shame Mike Bennett is such a mediocre wrestler.

Eddie Edwards has talent but he needs to find some personality. He led Ishimori through their match like a veteran.

Davey Richards vs Paul London was a lot more evenly paced than most of Richards matches, maybe he's learning. London looked great and if he's got his head together he'll be a big asset to ROH.

I don't think Matt Taven is even close to the unique athletic ability of John Morrison but if he went to TNA and took the Hoopla Girls and the ludicrously repulsive Truth Martini with him, I reckon the act would get over and he'd make a solid X division champ. I also noticed that Ambrose has stolen his finisher.
 
Pretty spot on with your analysis, Hunter.
