THIS MATCH ROLLS ON

rez 07-10-2018 09:45 PM

Can never look away from train wrecks. gg

Emperor Smeat 07-10-2018 09:45 PM

:lol: another commercial break for this tag match. 3rd one in a matter of minutes.

Dark One 07-10-2018 09:46 PM

Did they legit go from an Extreme Rules picture in picture commercial to a full screen real commercial two minutes later?

Lock Jaw 07-10-2018 09:46 PM

Ok, gonna start watching something else

Savio 07-10-2018 09:46 PM

Have any more matches been made EXTREME for the PPV

KIRA 07-10-2018 09:46 PM

I wonder are we going to get to see Daniel Bryan face his (at one time )pale imitation in this match

KIRA 07-10-2018 09:47 PM

There's only 8 f****** minutes left why would you do this

rez 07-10-2018 09:47 PM

I'm gonna offer that Doritos kid a couple bags of chips to go back in time to simpler wrestling times.

rez 07-10-2018 09:49 PM

Vince probably pulls a Walmart and has whatever day's stock trading price all over the place in the performance center to motivate the talent.

KIRA 07-10-2018 09:52 PM

Kane is just off in the corner contemplating all the budget cuts he's going to make

slik 07-10-2018 09:53 PM

Several years ago Eric Young did a rip-off of Daniel Bryan gimmick in TNA. Seems fitting he is jobbing to DBry tonight it seems.

Emperor Smeat 07-10-2018 09:53 PM

Wonder what would happen if someone managed to break the finisher/move combo train done in multi-man matches.

Yes

James Ellsworth will be in a shark cage above the ring during Asuka/Carmella

#EXTREME

Dark One 07-10-2018 09:54 PM

Can they fit in another commercial in the last 90 seconds?

rez 07-10-2018 09:55 PM

not in the budget, DB

Emperor Smeat 07-10-2018 09:55 PM

Someone forgot to tell Bryan that WWE ditched their pyro budget a while ago.

Nevermind, Bryan apparently is a pyro magician now.

rez 07-10-2018 09:55 PM

nm. be damned. best part of the show. Lifts it to a D-

he'll never be in favour with the brass I feel. So they're giving him this "push" in hopes to cool him off. He'll job to AJ, then be back jobbing to Broken Matt Hardy or something (I'm aware they aren't on the same brand lol).

Dark One 07-10-2018 09:56 PM

Holy shit.

Daniel Bryan MUST BE A FUCKING WIZARD. He summoned PYRO!

Savio 07-10-2018 09:57 PM

DB must be magic

rez 07-10-2018 10:00 PM

Love Rusev...but I feel it'd be best if he got a chance elsewhere.

rez 07-10-2018 10:03 PM

Hopefully the 2 brand championship belts even out and he gets one.

#SDLive the #1 trend in the world right, something RAW couldn't say yesterday

Cool King 07-11-2018 11:00 AM

• I like the fact that I'm still able to be entertained by Team Hell No and I'm not bothered at all by Kane's referencing of NSYNC.

• I think we all saw the Styles/Nakamura match turning into a Tag-Team Match <s>Playa!</s>

• That Lumberjack Match was lame.

• I like <s>Hunico</s> Sin Cara, I really do but he's reached that point now where you just know he's doing the job whenever he's on TV.

The Sin Cara gimmick is doomed and has been doomed for years now and it really sucks that it's still going and that <s>Hunico</s> Sin Cara still has to work with it.

The best thing I can think of is for the gimmick to be scraped and for the return of Hunico to happen and now is the best time for that. Have Sin Cara and Almas have a match with Sin Cara's mask and Almas' career (or SmackDown contract) both be on the line. In the end, Almas wins by cheating and Sin Cara loses his mask but is left feeling really pissed off and he takes his anger out on a face backstage (Tye Dillinger or someone like that), turning him heel by doing so and returning to the use of the Hunico name.

If something like that doesn't happen (and let's be honest, it most likely won't), then I fully expect Sin Cara to be released within the next two years, the end of 2020.

• The ending just left me curious as to when the last time was we saw pyro on Raw or SmackDown.

slik 07-11-2018 03:05 PM

Where are:

Sheamus

Cesaro

Samoa Joe

Big Vic 07-11-2018 03:09 PM

Joe was in a Dark match.... totally forgot about the other 2.

slik 07-11-2018 03:11 PM

'The Bar' was such a red hot team on RAW but haven't really been used much since going to SD

Cool King 07-11-2018 03:14 PM

If what I've read this year is true, then it's probably because Sheamus is never really 100% these days.

Big Vic 07-11-2018 03:23 PM

Physically, emotionally or sexually?

Cool King 07-11-2018 05:25 PM

I know Sheamus has the spine problems, but he should really retire if he's not good to wrestle. I just don't think they have anywhere to fit them right now. When Hell No win the belts, I can see them getting a title shot.

Re Sin Cara: I like the guy too. Losing to Almas means nothing though. Do something with Rey Mysterio when you get him. It'd be a fine undercard match on PPV. The "Hunico" name has been degraded already though. Let him actually work in wrestling gear, lose the stereotype stuff, let him promo and announce him from El Paso. It won't be anything special, but there's no reason he can't be a solid mid-card guy. I'd take Los Aviadores with Hunico being a different masked gimmick alongside a masked Epico to Sin Cara at this point.

That being said, and my personal tastes aside, Sin Cara seems to somewhat get over when they actually push him. But he's just another cog in the machine, and you have to ask yourself whether it is worth pushing him over the other talent they have.

Mr. Nerfect 07-13-2018 10:51 PM

I'm not entirely sure Rusev is losing at Extreme Rules. Styles seems much more likely, but it's the WWE Title. They put it on Jinder Mahal. Rusev is also apparently helping Kane campaign. I can see SmackDown becoming the show designed to put over Kane's mayoral ambitions. Kane & Bryan as Tag Champs and Rusev as WWE Champion. It wouldn't surprise me if they brought back JR for commentary since he's also doing appearances on the trail for Kane. Okay, that last one is a stretch.

I suspect that they will go to Styles vs. Joe at SummerSlam, but if Rusev wins my jaw isn't going to hit the floor, and the justification will be there.
