I will say that ending makes me consider just skipping out on SmackDown and sticking to RAW, NXT and Dynamite. The rest of the show was pretty good. Loved parts of it. But I have zero interest in the WWE Title scene.

Ohhhhhh shit! My boy! Even though my mancrush subsided on him a while ago, John Morrison was one of my new favs when I got back into wrestling in 2010. Didn't catch much of his Impact stuff, but I liked what he did as Johnny Mundo in Lucha Underground.

The Fiend fucking with the production might be my favorite small detail of WWE right now.
-
I'm hoping things like this and Sami playing manager to Shinsuke is a sign of things to come.
-
God, I fucking love The Fiend.
-
He had to have burst out laughing as soon as that scene was over.
-
I don't know what gives you the idea Scenario B would ever happen. Scenario A felt like such a lock, too...
-
I'd second that. I actually loved that match, too.
-
You ought to give the Triple Threat Tag a watch. That was MOTN for me.

Extreme Rules

Yeah, the whole show wasn't perfect storyline was. But there was a marked difference in the overall production of the show. Promos cut directly into the camera, a reserved, but notable use of cuss words on commentary, trying new weird angles whether they work or not, and most importantly, a lot less in-ring mic time and more of a focus on the action and the in-ring stories. I do think there was a lot of flat stuff as a result of ongoing angles that need to be worked through, so hopefully starting more fresh angles will alleviate that. It's a start, so we'll see if they can keep the momentum and not derail if things take a minute to really hit home. Oh, and totally agreed on the "no commercial break" thing. Like I said on another forum, they've found a creative way around it this week, but it's already worn thin. I'd much rather just have commercial breaks like normal.

Yeah, after the first 30 or so minutes, it started turning into a bit more standard fare, but the first hour went by really quick and the overall production still feels different. Also, no in-ring promos for like the first hour and a half.
-
Yeah, it could fall apart. But it's started great. The match was good, too.
-
Anyone watching RAW? The show definitely feels different so far. -Started with the Falls Count Anywhere match -Big spot where Strowman and Lashley went through the stage setup and caused a bunch of explosions(a bit silly), but then had a pretty realistic, under-produced camera angle covering the fallout. -Corey Graves saying "Holy Shit" on commentary with no bleep
-
This would actually be brilliant. Dunno if it would help ratings, but it would keep me watching.

Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff to take over WWE TV(hired as executive directors under Vince) https://www.si.com/wrestling/2019/06/27/wwe-paul-heyman-monday-night-raw-eric-bischoff-smackdown-live-vince-mcmahon?__twitter_impression=true&__twitter_impression=true&__twitter_impression=true This....could be a really good thing. I'm a bit cautiously optimistic, especially on the Bischoff side of things. But huge news.
-
Yeah, that's kinda how I take it. Maybe he wanted more backup in trying to make the place great instead of bailing? It's hard to tell, really. But it seems the root of it is he's doing his best to make WWE a great place for wrestling, and he takes all the talk about WWE being shit personally. I guess you can't really blame him considering he's supposed to be the face of WWE as Universal Champion.
-
I mean, it seems like he was directly asked about it. I'm sure there's some bitterness because he wanted Dean to stay, though a lot of that kind of sounded like the typical WWE lip service, so it was probably a mix of him showing some of his bitterness while also not trying to bury the company he works for.
-
A lot of people are giving Rollins shit, but I think his frustration is justified. No matter what you think of WWE writing and booking, the majority of that roster busts their asses to try and make chicken salad out of chicken shit. And they really came through at Stomping Grounds. Perhaps Seth saying it's the best wrestling around is hyperbole, but they definitely have one of, if not the most impressive rosters on paper.
-
Oh, was that last night? Guess I'll go check the results. Though I'm really tempted to watch Finn/Andrade.
-
I missed the helluva kick, bit there was definitely a BRAINBUSTAAAAAHHHHH!
-
Damn shame.
-
I mean, I'm down if others are. I'm still a WWE cuck.
-
Like you said, fanboys. Like, I'll probably be a WWE junkie for life unless they lose all their interesting talent. But I'm not gonna pretend like they're not making shit a majority of the time. Or better yet, a shittier version of what could be.
-
Yeah, but we mostly hear it from disgruntled ex-employees. You'd hear a little bit on things like Jericho and Steve Austin's podcast, but usually within some parameter of making him look good, or "he's a genius for a reason" or some shit like that.
