Figured we should get another WWE thread going with SummerSlam coming up this weekend. Really excited for the NxT special, KO vs Cesaro and Rollins Vs Cena. 4 Hours is a little much, but it should be a great show.

Haven't really been into wwe for a while now but im quite suprised their pushing rollins this high up. Well, at the end of the day he'll just be buried by cena anyway so couldn't care less, wwe-logic.

Tonights Full NXT Brooklyn Card with poor predictions:
NXT Championship (Ladder Match)
-Kevin Owens vs Finn Balor
NXT Tag Team Title Match
-The Vaudevillians vs Blake and Murphy
NXT Women’s Title Match
-Bayley vs Sasha Banks
-Jushin “Thunder” Liger vs Tyler Breeze
-Samoa Joe vs Baron Corbin
-Bull Dempsey vs Elias Samson
-Apollo Crews vs Tye Dillinger
(Crews’ NXT Televised Debut)
-Eva Marie vs Carmella
-Enzo Amore, Big Cass & Hype Bros (Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley) vs Jason Jordan, Chad Gable, Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson
-Charlotte vs Becky Lynch vs Emma vs Dana Brooke
*Fully expect to be mostly wrong since most of the predictions I took are heels going over but they make for the most sense. Owens has been mostly a failure on the main roster and fit better squashing smaller guys in NXT. I think they put the belt on him to feud with Joe and Zayn upon return while still working alot of main roster. Same with Sasha. She needs to drop the belt, but to me giving Bayley wins in the last 2 weeks after forever of not mattering does not make for a great story to put the belt on her YET. They most likely let Charlotte win, but Brooke is the best choice since she'll be the one getting pushed once Becky/Charlotte/Sasha are gone for good.

He'd give anyone who talks about wrestling a team  |

Well after that show I'm ready to give up on NXT. Terrible event from beginning to end. Sasha/Bayley was the only solid match, and that was due to Sasha being the best female wrestler they've ever had but the ending and aftermath was stupid as fuck.

I haven't watched yet but I was worried about the card a bit with most of the big names also having matches at Summerslam. Probably will watch before SS but now I know to temper my excitement. |

None of us understand why Undertaker is there wrestling...at all. ****SPOILER**** I am glad Cena lost though, he has been like champ 14 times already, I don't get why he's wrestling for it either. Seems like they just keep recycling the main guys. Jon Stewart as heel was great, I had a good time even without knowing the majority of the guys. |

Cena is easier...ever since the WWE went public, Vince McMahon doesn't trust ANYONE to be bigger than the brand. He refuses to let anyone be to big a star, so he uses 50/50 booking to keep everyone stagnant. There will never be a star like Stone Cold or the Rock again...except Cena, who specifically appeals to children and sells more merchandise than the rest of the wrestlers combined. As long as Cena is selling purple shirts and granting wishes, you will get #LOLCENAWINS. |

I watch Tough Enough bc I love elimination style reality TV, but it sucks lol Tough Enough is terrible, but I started watching after Hogan's "removal", and it's been riveting television because of how awful it is. None of them can wrestle, the whole judging and voting concept is screwed up...I don't know who thought this was a good idea, but I thank them for being so wrong. |

The key with this style of show(I consider myself a conoisseur since I watch The Challenge, Inkmaster, Masterchef) is that you never give the power to the audience. Fan votes always make for terrible outcomes. ZZ should clearly have been eliminated the first week but every week he just says how much he loves the fans and pleas for them and they eat it up. Not to mention wrestling is specificallyt bad for fan voting bc the viewership skews real young so its always gonna favor a huge baby face. The judges keep telling ppl to act like heels but acting like a dick is gonna lose you votes |

Now we are left with, and I'm quoting Dave (Boston) here, "a big guy and 3 people who look like they should be working at Walmart." He isn't wrong. |

I dont think Josh is bad exactly, although the Yeti thing is getting old already. The blonde girl w the right training could be bitch material, but shes just a carbon copy of a million other blonde wannabes. Sara lee is a joke, seriously stop smiling already. The fans robbed the competition of any chance of good winners. I do like your guys mthod better where judges make final decision, but I dont exactly think the judges have been doing that great of a job either. I think the coaches should also be the judges, they see more of what goes down. Hopefully if they bring it back they realize how bad the format was and do a serious revamp. Also maybe start w people w experience taking bumps and stuff bc spending the first 5 episodes watching them just do tackles gets boring after awhile. |
