Mootinie Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 The Antonio Brown saga literally just happened. Also, could you imagine if TO had social media for his driveway workout saga that to this day he'll still take shots at McNabb over? There's been plenty of examples of people doing this stuff in every walk of life, and every profession. We're on the surge of a wave that's about to see 2 companies attempt to claim significant market share off the WWE. Enjoy the ride, I only see more of this. I have no idea who Antonio Brown is, you'll have to enlighten me on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milamber Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Io vs Shayna cage match was great. I didn't read spoilers but it was obvious to me Io would lose and turn heel. The execution was perfect. In retrospect it makes me hate the end of the last Takeover match less. Shayna is overdue for a call-up and they need a replacement. Would be the perfect time to run 2 women's matches at the next Takeover (Shayna vs Mia and Io vs Candice) but I fear it will be some sort of triple threat or fatal fourway.

Being able to open the door to escape defeats the purpose of the cage LOL. In this case the interference worked, IMO, because it just added to Io's frustration.

Blackman Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Finally did cancel my subscription in favor of a Netflix run, and so far I've watched it way more. I considered how I practically never use the database to watch older matches, and just don't want to spend the time on the new PPV's.

I had Netflix but couldn't justify the content for the price increase. I'm happy with my subscription for now. On the Big 4 alone I find it pays for itself, but I still watch a few things every month.

Rone Rivendale Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 This is dumb. Finn Balor is the IC champ and the first ever Universal champ. Roode a former US champion and one of the best entrances in profession wrestling. Neville is basically the greatest 205 Live wrestler in the history of the company. Sami Zayn is constantly in main event feuds and given loads of time on the mic. Shinsuke is a former US champion and had several World title shots. And again, one of the best entrances in the business. Ricochet is the US champion and is heavily featured on t.v. with a big feud with AJ Styles. Rusev the former multiple time US champion who was one of the most popular wrestlers in the company MORE than once. He was super over during his Rusev crush days and even more so during his Rusev Day days. And Asuka was undefeated for what.. 3 years? Can we please stop saying every wrestler is buried or misused? There's only so many titles and 100 or so spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdWarrior Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Loved the Kevin Owens stuff from this week's SmackDown!, that was pretty cool. I was a little confused about the mix tag team match on Raw though. Becky Lynch & Seth Rollins vs. Zelina Vega & Andrade in an ELIMINATION tag team match. Considering that the guys are usually (and I assumed this time as well) supposed to fight the guys, and the girls are usually supposed to fight the girls... wasn't it mathematically impossible for Andrade to win, after Becky Lynch had eliminated Zelina Vega? Had Andrade successfully defeated Seth.. what would have happened then? Just a little something I had wondered about during that match, is all.

milamber Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Some good stuff on NXT this week. Punished Io with a new entrance theme and clad in leather getting heat from Full Sail. Chinese wrestler Boa impressing on his debut against Myles (ACH). A banger main event title match between Street Profits and Brit-Am Brawlers with a clean finish. Some interesting promos as well.
