Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 448: Money in the Briefcase

(+) Yeah! (+)

The fuck did Big Cass do to get released and not even get wished well in his future endeavors? That sounds like he did something incredibly stupid or pissed off someone really bad

Naito going to get ZSJ back for making him tap in the New Japan Cup on that last day and get himself into the Final.
---

Naito > Okada in the finals LET'S GO.
---

i really wanted a zsj finals run but i can't see it now. and it's usually a safe bet that the guys in the two final matches of the groups are fighting for the spot. unless we get some deal where omega and ibushi go to time limit draw and naito gets through on that.

That's what I'm hoping for because I'm a huge Naito stan and I think Naito/Omega at WK will TEAR THE HOUSE DOWN

If they don't go that route, I want Okada/Ibushi final where Ibushi goes through coz that story is also incredible.
---

Also this will probably be a minority opinion but

I really fucking enjoy both of Enzo's rap songs so far. I'm glad he's rising above the false accusation and succeeding at what he's doing.

Fuck Big Cass for being a fake friend.
---

I mean Cass and Enzo weren't actually good friends in real life. They just happened to know each other when they were younger.

I'm not a big fan of the music but I agree with the rest of this.

Also I remember rumors that Cass is a huge Trump supporter and was pretty grating with the locker room about it.

I'm now imagining Enzo coming out at a New Japan show with a Certified G Club t-shirt on as he's introduced as the Bullet Club's newest member.

8 p.m. 3.00 million viewers
9 p.m. 2.98 million viewers

Solid ratings for Raw

That's too bad because I felt that RAW was mediocre lol

Mediocre would be an improvement. This was at least steps below.

I'm fascinated to see how Switchblade's going to be booked this G1. He's 100% winning those first two against Okada and Tana, right?

The Big Hog is back full time (for now!)

my sweet baby ellsworth

This is the next evolution of it after Cody leaves isn't it?

Becky is so good and it makes me sad that they're not giving her a real chance
---

Jeff's new facepaint is creepy as hell
---

is that Willow

Uh...Jeff went off the deep end even more...eww

So, those guys are weird. They'll fit right in against Harper and Rowan.

I checked it out.

Thats just regular ass TNA Jeff Hardy

Be thankful its not Itchweeed

Itchweed actually has comedic value. Willow is just dumb for dumb's sake.

Daniel Bryan dropping on his head off that powerslam looked nasty. Dude is going to literally kill himself one of these days.
---

Was the Bludgeon Brothers beat down really necessary though.

Perfect booking otherwise but Samoa Joe Big E attrition should have been enough.
---

Why have Bryan feud with the Bludgeon Brothers? I don't get it.

Residual Wyatt Family issues

Because they don't have Cass to waste his time anymore, duh.

Cass is gone. Thus, Cass never existed. Thus, their feud is non-canon. Therefore, we need to prove Bryan can beat big guys all over again.

Rusev Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
---

FlNALLY RUSEV DAY HAS COME
---

MATCHKA!

Rusev Day is finally here!
---

I am finding someone to go to Extreme Rules with me.

I don't give a shit. I need to see AJ and Rusev live.
---

I remember thinking I couldn't imagine who AJ's next opponent could be, thinking Rusev would be the joke option they'd never go with.

Well, here we are!
---

Also, BB should destroy Miz, too, and we get an unlikely Miz/Bryan alliance to deal with them.
---

Well time to not watch Smackdown again.

Maybe someday AJ will feud with someone who doesnt suck.
---

Wait, how do you not like RUSEV?
---

jesus christ eddv

if you're gonna be a contrarian at least don't be so brash about it
---

Eddv's been a spoilsport for a while now. Don't know why, but he seems negative on WWE recently...moreso than usual.
---

Rusev was one of the most likable people in the match and him winning was actually a surprise

"This sucks"
---

This topic gets so worked up every time someone doesn't like something that everyone else likes. It's kind of odd.

When literally every other source of wrestling is peaking its hard to not be down on WWEs utter squandering of talent.

And Rusev just...isn't good. He and Aiden are real "fast forward" fodder for me.
