    Yeah, with the big three moving up the nxt women took a huge hit. Eva has improved significantly however and what she has left to be an asset requires time in the ring with the women she will be working with. I don't mind them using next for this as its the best place to do so. I do agree that Charlotte would have been the better choice to work with Eva.

     

    Unfortunately the division has to go through this transition phase, we should just hope the new girls coming up can bring something new and interesting to the table to help hold the division up.

     

    I also agree the drifter isn't a gimmick that will go very far. I feel the same way about the hacker gimmick.

    Raw ratings were down from 3.78 million last week to 3.72 million and the football season hasn't started yet. That's what they get for putting on a good NXT event and following it up with a 4 hour, overbooked SummerSlam "extravaganza" that fell short of the hype.

     

    Shame, too. All things considered this was a decent RAW. If this weekend was supposed to be Mania weekend in the summer, NXT and RAW both did their jobs well in that regard.

    I wasn't keen on Sting last time but after the way Taker performed above expectation at SummerSlam, I'm hopeful they can get a decent match out of Rollins and Sting. So long as it's a one-off. Better than a Rollins vs Cena rematch with another screwjob. My only fear is that Cena will wrestle someone chosen by Jon Stewart and it'll probably be Kane.

     

    Nah, Kane will come back face to feud with Rollins.

     

    Cena will go back to mindlessly burying the midcard guys.

    According to PW Insider, The Miz was originally planned to team with Stardust against Neville and Stephen Amell at SummerSlam before Ryback was injured and the Intercontinental title program was pushed back a month. Miz would have been way better than Barrett.

     

    If Miz sided with Stardust to not be shown up by another actor coming onto his turf, would've made total sense and been far better booking, and a much better match.

     

    I'm okay with knowing Barrett's the back up plan that had to be thought up. I probably should've realized that was thrown together because something didn't work out.

    As much as I was impressed with the way he got into the ring and all, this booking blows my mind.

     

    Neville has great showings against Rollins/Cena. Amell impresses in his first moments.

     

    Their opponents are Stardust, who's done nothing of any actual note, and Barrett, the man Neville JUST BEAT IN UNDER A MINUTE AND A HALF. Stardust and Barrett also appear to have ZERO connection, so Stardust got stuck with Neville's whipping boy for who the heck knows what reason.

     

    Is there supposed to be hype and "This is gonna be good!" going on here? Cause yeah. There's really not.

    And injured himself on hisway to the ring. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come. :(

    I was wondering where the injury happened. Even went back to watch the match again to see. Poor guy. Hopefully it's nothing major and he'll bounce right back. He'll know to tone it back a little next time, but I would've been excited and all out in an entrance there too, and I probably would've hurt myself.

     

    Doubt it's going to be a pattern of any sort.

    Most of the wrestling world welcomes you to liking ECIII :p

     

    On a serious note, he's one of the most effective and entertaining heels in a long time in my opinion. I'm a bit bias since he's from my area and I have seen him since he started his career, but he's really come a long way.

     

    "You can't wrestle"

     

    "I disagree"

     

    "You can't wrestle"

     

    "I'm very good"

     

    He has the entertainment part of sports entertainment down to a T.

     

    It took me a while, and it was Spud who got me to start paying attention to EC3, but I've got to agree. EC3's got the heel act down. It's a shame it's wasted in TNA.

    Neville was great, not sure what happened to the other half of his name though.

     

    Neville is always great. Great execution on just about everything he does. The problem is, he's Neville. The Man That Gravity Forgot.

     

    He has one name, and his entire gimmick is he can fly. Except it's gonna be the exact same flying every time we see him, which will quickly get old despite the fact that it is perfectly executed.

     

    When he came to the main roster he needed something more. Something to make him his own man, and not just some flier. Instead they take away half his name. I'm really hoping they dive deeper into who he is really soon, and set him apart.

    Sorry for the back-to-back posts but...

     

     

     

    The Knockouts in TNA are simply the better Women's Division. I am not saying that based on the match tonight as I have not watched it but I just feel that TNA puts on the better show when it comes to women in wrestling.

     

    Honestly, lately the Bellas, AJ, and Paige have closed that gap. Same with um... the girl with the Usos, and Nattie. All six could have a very workable division, which I would've laughed at for hours a year ago this time.

    Rollins 28, Reigns 29, Bryan 33, Orton 34. Break out the walkers, those guys are ready for the scrap heap.

     

    Lesnar is the biggest star they've had in years and his part time schedule actually HELPS that.

     

    Plus the rest of the IC match except Truth are in a good place to compete at the next step down. Cesaro and Kidd are getting decent exposure as the tag champions, along with the Usos. Rusev is in a good spot to get pushed higher if they need him. Bray actually comes out of the Taker match well despite the result.

     

    So what if they gave Big Show the Andre Battle Royal as a thank you for his years of dedication? Or that they decided not to kill off 'Taker so he can continue to add something to future shows? Or that they had a nostalgia filled match with DX, NWO and Sting in the middle of a show that is the only show some casual fans from the Attitude Era will watch all year? Of course Triple H beat Sting, it's a WWE vs WCW thing but they made Sting look very strong in the build up, constantly getting the better of Triple H, and it took four guys interfering and a sledgehammer for Triple H to do it. And having that nostalgia act is great for the guys in the IC match, and Rusev, and Reigns, and Rollins because the casual fans tune in to see their old favourites and might like the new guys they see.

     

    Basically, you're talking out of your arse. You don't like WWE. Good for you. Don't watch it. And not in the usual "IWC keyboard warrior bitching about Raw so don't watch" way, in a "you clearly do not like this form of entertainment, it isn't for you, so do yourself a favour and watch something you do enjoy" way.

     

    Had no problem with Show winning. Had no problem with Sting/Trips, though I think the nWo helping Sting was meh. It served it's purpose.

     

    I enjoy wrestling, and I enjoy sports entertainment. I liked the Rollins cash in mid match surprise. I like Bryan as IC champ and hope the belt actually gets booked so the champion isn't jobbing to Sin Cara cleanly now.

     

    I'm fine with Cena beating Rusev, as long as creative has something for Rusev to do from here. I'd hate to see him fade away after this loss. Guy's fun to watch.

     

    I don't see the business sense in booking someone with charisma, workable ring skills, and a fan base, to lose to someone who could very well NEVER WRESTLE AGAIN. I like the Undertaker. YAY UNDERTAKER! I wish he could wrestle every year until the sun explodes. Simple fact of the matter is, he can't, and he wont. He gained nothing. Bray would've been a made man.

     

    I think it's a shame the divas underperformed considering their recent actions and claims that they could step up. I personally think the last few months had better stuff from the divas than Mania. They seemed off tonight.

     

    I wish Roman would've got more offense and been able to appear to be IN the match more than just rope a doping Brock. Roman's a POWER HOUSE of a young man with all the raw talent in the world. He looked like a guy with a lot of stamina praying the monster runs out of steam first. I would've rather them look closer to equal.

    I'm bummed Wyatt lost, but maybe they are building this up to be more, instead of a 3 minute storyline. I mean they haven't been doing this part for long. I'd like to see arematch sometime soon with Bray winnings, they had a decent match tonight and Taker looked good.

     

    Also, Rollins won the WWE title, so not like we need new stars....I think they are going to push him and maybe some others up, they need it. Tonight was just the beginning..

     

    Yeah. We don't need new stars.

     

    Main Event Scene:

     

    Rollins (Champion)

    Roman

    Brock (Only gonna be there a hand full of times)

    Cena (US Champ)

    Bryan (IC Champ)

    Orton

     

     

    MAN. That's one loaded main event scene where anyone could be champ at any time.:rolleyes:

    Six hour event.

     

    Not one person accomplished anything of any note.

     

    Roman didn't beat Brock.

     

    Rollins didn't beat anyone.

     

    Bray didn't win.

     

    Sting didn't win.

     

    Bryan won the worst ladder match in Mania history to win a belt even I wouldn't wanna hold.

     

    #GiveDivasAChance ends with 4 divas COMPLETELY blowing their mania chance to impress.

     

    So glad I didn't pay for this garbage.
