    Wow.just watched it. must have missed a great year. The pushing of Roman made me have suh a distaste in my mouth I stopped. But boy Miz went hard as fuck at Daniel.

    Named my dog after Miz.

    why am i letting myself get my hopes about KO winning the belt on monday?

    it has to be roman, right?

    there is no way they put the belt on cass.
    rollins seems to obvious. plus, he just lost the championship to balor. doesn't seem believable he would win a fatal four way. rollins as the obnoxious heel is getting a little stale. wwe really blew it not letting him organically return as a face in june.

    KO makes a lot of sense. you may be able to turn him face if jericho turns on him, plus you have a feud he can easily win in his first title defense. KO could be a great stone cold/idgaf champ. maybe even insert vince to tell him he doesn't have the look of a champion.

    They aren't putting the belt on Owens. Stop deluding yourself. He's either going to feud with Cass or Jericho.

    there is not a single faction in the entire WWE.

    that needs to change. i know stratknight has had the brilliant idea of teaming roman with the usos and joe. obviously, that isn't happening as they are on different shows.

    any ideas?

    I actually like that there are no factions. Anymore whenever someone tries to do a faction type angle i feel like it's just a rehash of NWO. The only exception to that should be the Wyatt family but they need some more direction then just be a punching bag

    I feel like Vince was in back after SS going, "we gave the people what they want by giving the title to a hot new star and that star had the audacity to get hurt so back to my plan. Roman Empire rises again!"

    So just watched Smackdown and man is it the far superior product.

    1) Blue helps both belts. I actually like those tag titles since they seem to be chrome on blue.
    2) Carmella turn is great. She can cut promo's and her entire gimmick screams heel.
    3) The announce crew on Smackdown is still fucking awful especially JBL. They really need to make some changes.
    4) Alpha is great. But they are great because they work vs Enzo/Cass who are great because they can promo. Alpha will get over it will take time.
    5) I like this slow turn for the Uso's
    6) AJ is just the best thing in the company right now. Better than Rollins, KO, Jericho anyone. He and Ambrose will have a nice feud. Match with Ziggler was great
    7) Heath Slater Baby!!!

    Onto Talking Smack. I love this show. I love Bryan. I love the concept. Never change it.

    Bryan was 100% spot on about Miz. He works a boring, clean WWE style. The same can be said about Dolph Ziggler. Only difference is Dolph sells 100 times better and thus people seem to enjoy him more.

    Miz was 100% spot on about Bryan. You promised the fans a return to wrestling. If you loved it why not quit and go to ROH or NJPW.

    It was amazing. It was a work. It made the IC title relevant again. It began a story where Daniel will likely give Miz challenger after challenger to elevate the title.

    RAW just lost its #1 baby face with Finn.

    Roman is going back to that spot because WWE is to lazy to build Zayn or turn Owens.

    So it's either Seth or Roman. My guess its Roman with Seth chasing the belt.

    But if somehow KO wins the belt... I'll be tagging Dayneface in every post i make till Owens drops the belt.

    I'm 100% over Brock Lesnar. The most compelling thing about him is what is he going to do next that Vince isn't going to have the balls to punish him for.

    So the same Vince McMahon who once fined Batista $100k for blading during a cage match with Jericho approved a scenario in which Lesnar was going to open up Orton? That still makes no sense to me.

    It just sucks because it's to a point now where nobody could belieably go over him. Of full time guys, really only Cena, Reigns, or Rollins make sense, and even then it induces a lot of eye rolling.

    Also, I really hope they let Rollins bring the curb stomp back during his inevitable Wrestlemania feud with Triple H

    Whether it's his fault or not, I'm guessing the recent run Rollins is on in terms of guys getting hurt isn't going to make them want him to bring back a move like that.

    It sounds like he didn't approve it, the plan was for lesner to knock out Randy and get the TKO but when Orton started bleeding lesner just went with it, which was what Jericho got all pissy about backstage afterward

    Please let Owens win.

    Finn Balor was originally scheduled to defend the WWE Universal Title against Kevin Owens at the September 25th RAW brand Clash of Champions pay-per-view from Indianapolis.

    The Balor vs. Owens match would have ended in a way that set up Balor vs. Owens vs. Chris Jericho in a Triple Threat for the October 30th Hell In a Cell pay-per-view from Boston. As noted, Balor's original WWE SummerSlam opponent was Jericho.

    As noted, a Fatal 4 Way will take place on next week's RAW to crown a new WWE UniversalChampion with Owens, Big Cass, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. No word yet on who they have planned to win but it's worth noting that Reigns and Rollins were both originally scheduled to be kept out of the title picture for a few months but they could be put back in due to Balor's injury.

    If you don't think Reigns is being groomed to be the one to beat Brock clean you don't know Vince McMahon.

    And it he'll be just as viciously hated as he was in the WM31 match...only without the happy ending.

    That would have been awesome.

    Instead we may get Reigns vs Owens, which will be hilarious as the crowd will cheer for KO. Then we'll get Reigns vs KO vs Jericho and the crowd will cheer for BOTH heels over Reigns.

    There is NO ONE on the roster that would be booed over Reigns.

    Seth Rollins with Gallows/Anderson. Are they teasing it or just fucking with us how they're all wearing yellow now? I put the title on Rollins (with help from G/A), and the tag titles on The Club. If you wanted to help get a CW over, put Akira Tozawa with them and give him the CW title. You already have backstory with The Club being so dominant in Japan. The four of them with gold could be a really fun way to get through "the fall of the fall". Heat up some faces come Rumble time, and you could have a really interesting dynamic when Balor challenges Rollins at Mania (with his obvious ties to The Club), Enzo and Cass vs Gallows/Anderson, and Jack Gallagher (LOVE THIS GUY) avenging his loss in the CWC by winning the CW title at Mania. Tozawa could be ducking Gallagher for months (because he knows what Gallagher is capable of from the CWC) until they finally get paired at Mania. There's so many interwoven storylines, attention to detail, and long term booking I just came up with these past five minutes on the shitter at work than they'll probably end up doing with all these belts.

    Vince loves doing racist shit. Bring up Nakamura, Asuka, and Ibushi, put them with Heyman and let them wreck shit on Smackdown. 3 of the best wrestlers in their respective divisions in the world paired with one of the best hype men in wrestling history. Magic.

    I can't tell if your post is meant to be your alternative suggestion or to illustrate classic Vince. Because it's definitely more in line with the latter

    I'm not sure they choose Reigns for the belt. Seemed they were really freaked out by how horrible house shows drew when he had the belt. My money is on Seth.
