Wonder if Strowman does the same. May explain his obsession with Get These Hands.

I agree however if they want to continue the 3 person then she stays IMHO. No idea why we need 3 people and also Cole has been expressing interest in going to a more backstage Role which is why they've had a lot of Tom Phillips over time.

Just have him go away already dear god. I love Brock in the UFC and root for him because you can tell he's passionate about it. Also because it PO's all the diehard UFC fans they see "former wrestler" attached to anything and immediately want to talk sh** on it. It's so bad they are all still in denial saying Brock's wins in the UFC were all luck. Like seriously if it wasn't for the diverticulitis and he said so in his biography he'd be still in the UFC today. That dude can legit kill you with his bear hands.

Found that out yesterday when looking at her Wikipedia. She was in the 2011 9/11 documentary called Children of 9/11.

Lesnar a 2-1 dog at 5d. I was already tempted. I mean....Vince has to get the belt off of him at some point right? Maybe just not now.

I'd keep the belt on Lesnar so that when he beats Cormier they can unify the WWE and UFC titles.Lesnar a 2-1 dog at 5d. I was already tempted. I mean....Vince has to get the belt off of him at some point right? Maybe just not now.

Watching the highlights, I actually liked her comments expressing surprise, excitement, etc.

Finally saw the match where Tama Tonga chokes a fan and even after a week since this happened I still can't tell if this was scripted or not and that's what I love about this. Brings me back to the Attitude Era ECW days where the lines were blurred of what was scripted and what was real.

Chris Jericho Pitched “IWGP Intercontinental Champion vs. WWE Intercontinental Champion” Match For SummerSlam 2018
During the latest edition of ‘Talk Is Jericho’ podcast, Old School WWF Legend Chris Jericho, who is currently the IWGP Intercontinental Champion in New Japan Pro Wrestling, revealed that he pitched the idea of doing a match between him and the WWE Intercontinental Champion at SummerSlam 2018.
Below is what Jericho said:
“I’ve got a scoop for you. I gotta be careful though. Dolph Ziggler defending against Seth Rollins for the Intercontinental Title. I don’t know if you know this or not, I work for New Japan Pro Wrestling and I am the current New Japan Pro Wrestling (IWGP) Intercontinental Champion.
So I placed a call to a head of a certain wrestling company, let’s just leave it at that, and said I’ve got something for ya. I said what do you think about ‘First Time Ever – Intercontinental Champion vs. Intercontinental Champion: Jericho vs. Rollins’. What’s the finish? Doesn’t matter. Whoever Rollins’ next opponent is, runs down and causes the DQ, beats the ##### out of me.
Point is it’s getting people to buy and get into it. IC Title New Japan vs. WWE and you can make this happen. You wouldn’t have to do anything on TV.
I would show up Monday night before SummerSlam, which has passed already so it’s not gonna happen. The show was like in Greenville, South Carolina or something, I could’ve been there at 4 PM. I could’ve ran through the crowd and attacked Seth Rollins – made the challenge, made the match – Jericho vs. Rollins – IC Title vs. IC Title. I pitched it, got a decent response and never heard another word again.”

Vince doesn't want to give anyone else any limelight thats the issue. I could maybe see HHH when he gets most involved brings back some of the partnership deals like WWE and other promotions had yrs ago.

So Hulkster was on the Bill Apter podcast. The TLR Version is Hulk is upset some of the wrestlers won't forgive him even after he apologized they should forgive him anyway. He wished the Brotherhood would go back to what it was in the 70s 80s and 90s AKA I just want it ok to be a racist again and push other talent down. He also said Hunter reached out to him first. Mostly as a way just to see how he was doing. HH wanted t talk to Vince and they did. He talked to the big shots about wanting comeback in some sort of way. Vince agreed and at the Rules of barely Extreme he apologized to the Locker room. Other then that it was typical HH. He basically tried to paint himself as a victim and poor me all about Hulk.

It's pretty obvious Stroman is cashing in tomorrow, right?

Rumor has it they want KO to have the Belt. They may do some f**k finish that Stroman loses.
However knowing HHH and Vince liking to F with the IWC I can see KO winning vs Strowman with Mahal or Elias getting involved to cost Strowman. KO cashes in to make it a triple Threat. Roman hit KO wth a Spear and wins the title. But WWE couldn't be that stupid or can they? Brooklyn would riot and Jay Z might have his arena as ashes
Stuart Ullman

I mean, KO deserves the belt for all the moronic bumps he's been taking. But I feel like a Strowman cash-in sets up a program for Roman and lets Brock run off to UFC.
Tony Jabroni
Footballguy
Brock is negotiating a deal for both UFC & WWE as we speak. Who knows? Word is they want KO with the belt. His match is with Braun for the briefcase. Let's see what happens.

Yep, exactly. There was no way that Vince was ever going to give New Japan which is trying to make inroads in the U.S. the spotlight on one of his shows. Vince may have done that with the ECW invasion and NWA matches when the WWF was down in the mid-90s, but Vince isn't going to give another promotion free press when he's on top and has nothing to gain.

Matt Riddle is gonna kill it in NXT.
I'd put Velveteen Dream easily in my Top 3 overall guys to watch in NXT or WWE. Going to be a sad day when he gets neutered and scripted to hell on the main roster. When he walks onto the main roster, Vince will say "Orlando, welcome back pal"....

I was supposed to be on a flight to Stockholm. Flight was cancelled and now I leave tomorrow, but have a 6-hour overnight layover in London.
Hope Summerslam is worth it.

That's how you write a story WWE with Styles/Joe but honestly I don't think that type of story to get Roman actual heat would work. He needs to be turned heel, maybe put with Heyman or get him the AOP or USO's turn them all heel and have Roman #### on the fans for never having his back etc etc. Make it all about him. Then maybe eventually after a few yrs of doing this they can turn him face or if the success is too good just keep him heel. If the whole thing is a success and when they return him face just think of the pops he could get?

She's like 3x the size of Alexa. That squash was fine, imo. Braun over KO was weird though.

I dunno. Its fake. We all know it's fake. I wanna be entertained. Like i was at wrestlemania. Stephanie McMahon gave her a better fight.
DJackson10
Footballguy
I want to be entertained but I don't want them to act like I'm stupid either. Use some common sense we all know Alexa has zero chance in a real fight vs ROusey why would she in a wrestling match?
