Great reaction to Strowman. Did he recover from the horrid booking?

Why wouldn't Braun pick something like Hell in a Cell, so there can't be "outside interference" since people tend to find a way in.

That's why I had the quotes around outside interference. I suppose it's not quite 3 months though, so he might still remember it.

Drew's looking great

That was a really good first hour.

I figured they'd use Roman's cancer to further the Dean/Seth rivalry, but I'm still surprised that they did if that makes any sense.

That was some terrible acting

And Nia's up next, time to turn it off.

Give her the Universal Title, christ.

Said this for a while. Just do it Vince.

Becky vs AJ/Am Drag (whoever has it then) vs Brock vs Charlotte/Ronda (same) have Becky go over clean in an elimination match finishing it by making Brock tap clean!!!

Mixed reaction for Ronda and Becky chants?

How high is Becky's ceiling of popularity at this point? Is there anyone on the roster right now that's at her level?

Her ceiling is Am Drag in 13. Shes not getting to Punk in 11 or Am Drag in 14.

And no... there is nobody on the roster even close to her level right now. Not even same tier.

I am not against the concept of using real cancer in an angle

But this is dumb
---

So a shattered elbow is supposed to heal in time for TLC?
---

That explains it, sounds like he needs surgery to have some bone spurs removed.

This is just assault at this point
---

I would imagine Becky is now a bit salty that they had Charlotte basically turn into a sudden badass now right after she had.

Meh.
---

It really, really feels like Becky got her face broken, and the result is Charlotte gets her spot and Nia gets a push, while Becky's probably going to be given some time waster program
---

I think its salvageable because this is basically how you turn becky face.

You have her come back and back all of this up.
---

From what I hear, after Charlotte's brutal, wicked beatdown in which she snapped a chair over Ronda's neck, Ronda came out smiling, not selling a thing.

Which... God damn, how do you do something like that and have it completely no sold? Who could possibly give a shit about Charlotte's attack now?
---

You wouldnt want fans to think the top faces are actually vulnerable!

I mean they will literally not interact any time soon thanks to the brand sep so in all honesty it really doesn't matter.

Think Punk/Rock all those years ago.

So then why do such a brutal and ruthless attack if nothing will be followed up for months and it will be no sold entirely the following day?

Becky is so amazing on Twitter. Like she should teach classes to other roster members.
---

They were in my way.

LOL at that

Corey is right, those two are identical!

Daniel Bryan's dreams kicked AJ Styles in the balls.

Who writes this stuff.

That was the best RKO since the one to Bourne

Quite enjoyed the Bryan promo. Possibly my favorite of his entire WWE career.

if you were to introduce someone to wrestling what 3 matches and 3 promos would you show them

Melina vs Alicia Fox

Rock Hogan
Rock Austin II
HBK Taker retirement.

Hard Times
My names Billy.
Whos your daddy Montreal?!

I think in those 3 matches and 3 promos (not necessarily the best of all time) you get the absolutely picture of pro wrestling.

A horrible match where the crowd alone carried it
A great match in the prime of two supernovas with a crowd so in to everything you cant believe.
Maybe the best story ever told in ring.

Just how much one man can connect with a country and make you want him to win.
How one man is so powerful he can literally destroy a career in 8 seconds.
The absolute apex of controlling a crowd and bending them to your whim, the most heat ever drawn out of one arena in a promo.

Poor Charlotte.

Actually got to watch SD last night. My thoughts...

Good
- The NEW Daniel Bryan. Once the most over person in the roster in ages, yet still finds a way to have the fans boo him. Got a feeling he's holding the belt until WrestleMania
- Orton's already a well-established heel, but unmasking Rey and posting him in his home state is the icing on the cake. Only would've been better if it had been in San Diego
- Xavier Woods continues to amuse me with references to Spiderman and Red Dead 2.
- New Day being the 1 in 6-1; glad someone besides us noticed that

Meh
- Now that he had a quality match with Rollins, Nakamura doesn't even get a mention on the show, let alone an appearance
- Not sure if we're about to get Shane/Miz challenging the Bar or Shane vs Miz at WrestleMania. Still wanting Shane to come full circle and be heel like his dad, but I'm intrigued enough to keep following.

Bad
- SD Women's division suffers hard without Becky. IIconics wrestling back to back matches and teasing a Rose/Deville breakup hardly any of us care sbout.
- *insert annual Thanksgiving match where the faces get a rare win here* Also, said match had at least one (possibly both) awkward table spots. See you next month for the Miracle on 34th Street tag match

I'd have to think on it for a while but the Zayn/Neville match where Zayn wins the title, plus the pre-match video package, would almost definitely be on the list.

THN and Ryback vs. The Shield TLC
Maybe Bryan's two WM30 matches

It depends entirely on the person

Rumble 92 and Flairs promo after
Flair vs Arn at Fall Brawl 1995 (with the promos from Arn and Ric prior)
NXT Takeover Orlando AOP vs Revival vs DIY
Ciampas promo after turning on Gargano
---

Honestly, I've found that NXT Takeover Dallas is a great show in general to get people into wrestling.

Revival vs DIY

Yikes I don't think I'd ever want to show a match with these two teams to someone wanting to get into wrestling if I only had 3 picks. So anti-hype on first impression.

i saw a lot of people not really buying this story before, when i thought it was the only actual move that made sense for the elite crew. looks like it is something, at least.

That does seem to make the most sense at this point.

Old Becky is coming back.

The longer she stays sidelined, the more her aggresive side of her is contained.

Maybe she comes back as the face she was before Summerslam and loses her edge and Sami has to reignite the fire when he returns.
