The Wrestling Thread has much larger nipples

Wrestlemania 40 is going to be in Philly. It should've been Yankee Stadium or MetLife.

HHH has made his first major creative decision: the SummerSlam match between Seth Rollins and Riddle has been cancelled.

Darby Allin SDCC roundtable interview I took part in.

 

[Holy Slapper]

There were less recaps on Raw this week. Last week there were recaps every 5 minutes. On Monday, the first recap wasn't until an hour and a half into the show and two recaps total.

The whole show flowed a lot better. Plus things made sense and felt connected.

That's because Riddle is injured and not cleared to compete. Not a HHH decision.

A lot of people think that changes won't happen and if they do, it's not going to be right away, but having less recaps on Raw and not having the first one until an hour an a half into the show and two overall is a fairly significant change.

Meltzer says he's kayfabe injured.

Meltzer also said Roman's "daddy line" was referring to Johnny Gargano so...

LOL. We all know who Roman was referring to.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Bianca and Becky bringing it with the gear again. I'm loving Bianca's consistently awesome new looks.

Also another really good match between the two. They have the chemistry.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Bayley! And with all the pockets!!!

 

[DarthSkywalker]

DAKOTA KAI AND IO!!!!! And Becky's a face again. He's in charge for one week, and he's rebuilt the women's division. Triple H is my Wrestling God.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Ronda is now heel. Hopefully she teams with Shanya. Triple H really did just fix the women's division in one night.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I love pro wrestling:

 

[Dr. Evil]

I don't mind the name Iyo Sky. Her first name still sounds the same and she was known as Genius of the Sky.

 

[The Chris]

So that was my favorite main roster ppv in a while. And quite frankly the first Brock/Roman match I’ve liked since Wrestlemania 31.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Yeah from start to finish this was one hell of a SummerSlam. That Last Man Standing match was really one of the damndest things I’ve ever seen in the PG Era, I loved it lol.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Brock and Roman was scary good. Finally.

 

[Dr. Evil]

My reaction to Pat McAfee's tron:

I thought this was the worst PLE of the year. The first two matches were really good though, and the rest of this year has had good to great PLE's WrestleMania was a lot better than SummerSlam.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I’m still in awe of that damn frog splash from Logan Paul. He’s definitely taking on Bad Bunny at Mania.

And Brock UPHEAVED THE RING. That was wild.

For real? I thought this was actually the first SummerSlam in years that actually felt worthy of the name lol.

The only real gripe I had is that Montez should’ve went heel and broke up the Profits. Also, I would’ve had the returning stars get into a skirmish with Bianca, then Becky comes in to make the save. But those are just superficial.

 

[Dr. Evil]

The interesting thing is that after she left NXT, Dakota Kai said she wasn't going to return. There were also reports that Io's contract in NXT was expiring and that she was headed back to Japan. So how did they end up teaming with Bayley? Triple H is the reason and apparently, Bayley had pitched on a few occasions, of her leading a faction but was rejected by the old man every time. Yet, when she pitched it to Triple H, he said sure. I find that to be significant. The additions of Kai and Sky to Raw is huge, especially now that Bayley is with them. If (and this is a massive "if") Triple H can repair the rift between WWE and Boss Glow Time (Sasha and Naomi), that will be a massive win for him and for us.

WrestleMania was a lot better overall to me. 2018's SummerSlam was a better show to me. Neither tag match was that good. Lashley vs Theory was whatever and wasn't too fussed with Brock vs Roman either way. The moronic build up of an Edge return when he hasn't been gone long, so WWE can act like it's some big deal. WWE has over delivered on the B shows so far this year to me. McAfee's match was better at Mania too. Still an okay show just the weakest this year to me.

 

[obredaan]

That hype video for KO raised my hopes up that KO might be getting a major push with HHH in charge.

See I loved the entrance last night, but yeah I'll give you that. And every time Edge gets in that damn ring I just hold on to my own neck. He should've stayed retired IMO.
