According to the Observer, WWE is currently leaning towards Lesnar-Reigns for the Universal title at SummerSlam.

Dave Meltzer did hint later at the possibility of Lesnar-Joe II being considered as a backup due to the effort the WWE has put into building Joe and their current feud.

The scheduled main event for SummerSlam, and possibly WrestleMania, changed a few weeks ago.

The only question is what they did change to. It was confirmed to us that a few weeks ago, probably just before the Roman Reigns interview where he said he wanted a shot at the Brock Lesnar vs. Samoa Joe winner, that plans for SummerSlam on 8/20 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn changed from Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman as the main event to Lesnar vs. Reigns

The rumored big plans they had for Strowman this summer seems to have been dropped or possibly delayed till later in the year. WWE originally had plans of him vs Lesnar at SummerSlam for the Universal title and likely winning the belt off of Lesnar.

[drave]

That's good. Strowman needs a good-steady build rather than a hotshot to defeat vs Lesnar.

I'd like to see "Free Agent John Cena" let him go over in a convincing fashion, thereby cementing him as a very real threat (not that he isn't already).

[drave]

Lesnar v Joe II >>>>>>>>>>> (insert anything here) v Reigns.

The Observer's obituary on Mr. Pogo had a Wacky Terry Funk story from back in the day included:

Terry Funk was a regular in FMW at the time. One story Sekigawa loved to tell about this period was that after a match, when Funk was tired and thirsty, Funk grabbed Sekigawa’s water bottle. The problem is, Sekigawa had kerosene in the bottle, which he used to help him blow fire. Funk guzzled it down and said, “This tastes like shit.” Sekigawa kept telling him over and over, “It’s not water, it’s for my fire gimmick.” Funk started screaming, “No, no, no, I said it tastes like shit.”

My language is hyperbolic too, Noid. Kind sir. Its why im able to tell Destor i wanna fuck him in the ass while debating the merits of ring psycology.

Dont make this about trying to dig at my psyche. That is deflecting that fact that you were being a weeny. There are people who wholeheartedly agree with me on your weeniness in that situation.

Lol, deferring to others is not a valid argument. I'm sorry if my perceived weeniness offended you.

[Mr. Nerfect]

While Cody is the ROH World Champion, does anyone else think that he's not "worthy enough" to hold the IWGP Heavyweight Championship?

I don't see Cody as being above the NEVER Openweight Title. I could see him and Hirooki Goto in a title for title match down the line, if Goto wins it back from Suzuki.

Rikishi was amazing and on his way to legendary status before that career derailing heel turn. And I don't mean legendary main event status... I mean upper mid card hot act main stay which would have been great. Could have slotted into main events and whatnot. Crowd fucking loved him and was mucho let down when he turned heel in such an ill thought way. Honestly, I guess you could have had him turn heel with a build, and NOT be the guy who for no reason ran over Stone Cold but dear god that was bad.

No reason? He did it for The Rock. He did it for the people.

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

[Mr. Nerfect]

I can understand why they attempted the heel turn. It was Stephanie McMahon's first real go at creative, wasn't it? The fun babyface act has a ceiling, whereas tapping into this darker personality, ideally, allows for Rikishi to be upped to a main event role. The problem with the whole driver angle is that you have Austin coming back and needing some shine, while Rikishi needed to establish himself as a heel. Anyone in that position probably would have flopped as a heel once Austin kicks their ass.

That being said, there were problems with heel Rikishi anyway. He's far from the most talented member of his family in the ring, and his personality basically evaporated in the role. It was ill-advised, but I can understand the ambition there.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Yeah for sure. Just randomly having him run over Austin for no reason wasn't how you do it. A good heel turn could have done the trick.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

IE. having him getting disgruntled with Too Cool for "holding him back", but actually drawing it out, and having him throw Scotty 2 Hotty thru the barber shop window.

[Mr. Nerfect]

That Alvarez rant is really good. A minor semantic point I would bring up is that genuine heat in WWE is very rare. No one is genuinely hated to the point where you pay money to see them lose, because they always smile and wink at the camera. It's pantomime-level stuff, and the stuff that Alvarez alluded to in that link about being easy, but you don't truly know the art of it until you've mastered being a good babyface.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Interesting to note that possibly the next-in-line to take over is someone who has never made a good babyface themselves. We might be stuck with this functional-level of good guy/bad guy without any genuine emotional attachment for some time yet.

Squeaky, whiny delivery, but he is right.

Only hope is that Triple H, who is a proper student of them business and seems to have a real appreciation for the past, has different ideas that he can only fully implement once he is in control.

NxT is a completely different concept with a completely different audience, but the difference in booking there and building up stars give me hope that he understands how to build stars and protect faces and have heat and real emotion in feuds.

That's what I cling to anyway

[Maluco]

Another thing to note is that guys like Austin were very protective of their characters as faces and what they should/shouldn't be doing

It must be much easier booking a fed with no stars to cater to...but the result is what we are seeing now.

[#1-norm-fan]

Was also easier back in Austin's day because there was competition. You don't like how shitty you're being booked? Tell them off, go to WCW and make them see the error of their ways.

That's true, and probably remains their biggest issue. They won't push themselves in this regard until they are under threat.

Like guys have mentioned here before, the decline started at the invasion, once the battle was won. More interested in rubbing in the victory rather than making more money off a proper invasion.

I'm not very optimistic about Triple H taking the reigns. You can still see via his main roster work that Triple H is the same Triple H with the same Triple H ego. NXT has been quite inefficient at turning out main roster ready stars, and he seems more occupied with signing guys to get his rep over with the IWC right now, and less about actually setting the WWE up to have a sustainable future.

Exactly. No way do we get 8,000 title reigns for guys who aren't effective in top spots if there is another promotion taking attention away because it is actually delivering a captivating product.

I have been critical of NXT too for the exact same reason. I don't think it does its intended job, but as far as being courageous enough to have guys protected from being pinned and to make matches between certain guys seem like big deals...it is better than the main roster. Or it was, before it was gutted.

It's the small things too, like the bit that leaked a while ago about entrances. Triple H puts together these fantastic NXT entrances, only for Vince, Dunn and co to destroy them when the make the main roster.

It's only a small hope based on a few things, but currently, it's not even watchable for me in its current state, so will hold on to any hope I have lol

NXT is a much shorter show, though. He can afford to make it "artistic." He's able to book well when someone only has to wrestle once a month, but when it jumps up to four or eight times a month (depending on whether there is a brand split or not), it'll be interesting to see who is protected.

Some of the entrances in NXT are great too, but he does tend to overdo it as well. If everyone gets a special entrance, then how are they special? Nakamura's just started to get weird towards the end. I was kind of over Roode's after the Flair entrance with all the women.

Some bad news for NXT according to Pro Wrestling Sheet. Tommaso Ciampa's injuries ended up being a lot worse than expected and might not be back till next March at the earliest.

Completely shelved whatever plans they had for a DIY feud since Gargano should be on the main roster well before then.

Getting injured shortly before Takeover Chicago and getting hurt again during the event made things a lot worse for him. He was already dealing with a shoulder injury for a while and wanted to take a break to fix it.

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Tommaso Ciampa will not be returning from injury soon … sources tell us he’s expected to be out of action until early 2018.

We’re told the current medical estimate given to WWE is that he’ll be on the sideline until March 2018.

[Lock Jaw]

If Gargano is already on the main roster by then, I say skip bringing Ciampa back to NXT, just bring him back to the main roster immediately.

[Vastardikai]

* John Cena vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi

* Randy Orton vs. Kazuchika Okada

* Kevin Owens vs. Kenny Omega

* Sheamus & Cesaro vs. Tencozy

I wouldn't mind Lesnar vs. Suzuki. Because, while seeing a Superman Punch countered into a Fujiwara is a fun thought... A German countered into a leg lock chain of DOOM is even more so.

And from there, I'd go with Orton vs. Naito, Nakamura vs. Okada (Forbidden Match II), Cena vs. Tanahashi, AJ vs. Ibushi (Another good rematch), Sheamus and Cesaro vs. G.o.D., Braun vs. Ishii, Roman vs. Makabe, New Day vs. Sanada, Bushi, and Evil, and just for my own personal amusement, Enzo vs. Zack Sabre Jr. (I just want to see Enzo tied up in such a way that his body looks like his stupid haircut).

And have Young Bucks get squashed by the Authors of Pain for the Dark Match.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Kind of don't like they that split up Gargano and Ciampa. Injury aside, it doesn't feel particularly good, or like either man will have better opportunities as singles guys. Imagine if Ciampa had been injured and then returned to help out Gargano down the line? Magic.

Yeah, Nakamura vs Okada is the way to go and while you're at it Omega vs Styles. Maybe even throw Balor in there. Tanahashi/Cena is a no brainer. Im thinking Naito vs Roman Reigns. Agree on Lesnar vs Suzuki and New Day vs Los Ingobernables. Orton is who gets me as if it wasn't for Nakamura being in WWE I'd have Okada/Orton, also sucks about Shibata or that would be who id have Orton against.

Bit anti-climatic with that bump to be honest.

lol he dragon suplexed him off the apron through a table. WTF else was he supposed to.

Dunno if it's just the camera angle or the lack of volume or what, just seemed very lackluster.

Seems like you guys are running under the assumption that the suplex through the table itself was the payoff, and not the effort Kenny had to give against this tough old bastard to actually throw it.

Seems like she should have been obscured to keep that bit going.

As far as Asian wives go, she's not hideous (thanks Todd n Tyler)... but the look on her face reminds me of that "cocky smirk" of Melina - the one where she kinda looks like she farted in an elevator and nobody would dare blame her - and somehow makes her look less hot to me. Don't know why that bothers me, but it does.

Also think he should have obscured her face to keep the bit going.

[Tom Guycott]

Was catching up with "Dragonball Z: Abridged" the other day, and Mr. Satan made reference to his Hot Asian Wife......

And drinks his HETAP.

Abridged is better than the source material.

Abridged is one of those perfect storms that work well on its own and in conjunction with being familiar with the source lore. They drop jokes about the amount of filler, callbacks to original DB, and shit that would have made sense to do or not do in the actual show, but is still palatable enough to watch and enjoy even if you've unfamiliar and don't get bombarded with nothing but inside jokes and obscure references. My only problem with the series as a whole are when they do the movies... you have to know where the movie fits in the timeline to appreciate them better. They release it when they get there in the series, but if you, say, just started watching DBZA now, you won't know when to see them.

Who is this?

[Fignuts]

Did WWE ever end up signing Io Shirai? Because I'm watching Io Shirai vs Kairi Hojo, and while Hojo is impressive, I'm more interested in Shirai. You can tell Hojo is athletic, but shes got the same skinny diva frame as a lot of female wrestlers in wwe. Shirai meanwhile has that same thick, strong frame that Asuka has. And she looks badass.

[Fignuts]

Who is this?

Karl Anderson's wife.

[Sixx]

Oh, thought she was a wrestler.

[Fignuts]

God, Hojo's elbow looks great. With management souring on bayley, I really hope they change their mind about letting her use it.

Yes but she's going to be out for months to heal a nagging neck injury. Not sure about Stardom but WWE found out how badly her neck was messed up and gave her the time off needed.

[Sixx]

You're at some house show?

[Mr. Nerfect]

It looks like Omega goes through the table first in that spot. I liked Ishii holding on with his teeth. Eh, I'm still not sold on Omega. He's just way too over-the-top for me. I think if the WWE signed him, he'd be exposed very quickly. Remember when Dave Meltzer declared Sabu a better wrestler than Bret Hart? It feels a bit like that.

Well the payoff would be the fact that he ended up actually suplexing him. Best part of the spot was the dude biting the top rope, but the suplex was cool as well. I was just y'know-- not hating.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, I don't think that Andersons wife is very hot either. Looks like shes got a rockin bod at least.

[Tom Guycott]

She's not pornstar or supermodel level here, but she's in a goddamn supermarket dragging a kid around. I don't doubt that if she "cleans up" as it were, she might hit that area. But she still doesn't look bad.

Like Stanhope said about Bobbie Barnett: "Not stripper beautiful, but the kind of beautiful that works retail."

Dunno, not much you can do about that face.

Honestly though, Karl Anderson just has an online flirtation with his wife. There's no need for everyone to break her down physically. Jesus, he's just a dude showing his affection for the mother of his child.

Given how much the WWE spent on Gallows & Anderson, do you think they are happy with their investment? Gallows is apparently a good presence to have backstage, and Karl Anderson is tight with the head coach in developmental. Do you see them continued to be used as main roster on-air personalities in their current form, or do you see changes for them?

Seems American Alphas are done as a tag team at least for the near future. Chad Gable admitted his singles run is because they have nothing to do as a team and Jason Jordan is going to have his own solo run soon.

Regarding the status of American Alpha, Gable says they thrive on competition and they want competition. He says they had their run with the titles, other tag teams are in the hunt for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles right now and they were kind of pushed to the back of the line but that's fine because all they want is competition in the meantime. Gable says Jordan supports his singles outings 100% and when Jordan gets his chance, he will show what Gable did - that they can hang with any single guy on the roster, not just the tag teams.

Was from a recent Smackdown Fallout video after last night's show.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Been having pretty major home Internet issues, so unfortunately wasn't able to put up a #NXT400 discussion thread as I had planned, but I'm going to try and get caught up ASAP and offer my thoughts when possible.

^ Posted that by accident in the wrestling news thread when I'd meant to post it here. I don't think I'll touch on the backstage promos and the retrospectives of Asuka/Cross LWS Match for the NXT Women's Championship or the DIY break-up/Ciampa heel turn/Gargano return announcement, but I will say, in the two interview segments backstage with the NXT female superstars, what's with them all wearing generic WWE logo shirts instead of their usual mercy/gear?

Anyway, besides all of that there were 2 matches. First up: Ohno/Itami v. Killian Dayne and Wolf (forgot his first name) of SAnitY. Pretty quick match, not a lot of spots but the overarching story of "what's going on between Itami and Ohno?" was played up pretty well, with Ohno not being in position to be tagged to Itami refusing to tag Ohno when he WAS ready to Ohno confronting Itami in-ring about the communication problems. End comes when Itami hits Wolf with a Go 2 Sleep without realizing Daynr had tagged in in the corner, Dayne hits a crossbody for the win.

I don't know why a big guy like Dayne has a running crossbody for a finisher. Ideally I'd like to see him have something stronger, but a decent finish to a solid quick match. ***/*****.

Main Event time as Roderick Strong after a nice promo video package on him plays faces The Glorious One Bobby Roode for the NXT Championship. Great back and forth action, with Strong's mom and fiancée/wife looking on and cheering him on in the front row. A lot of both men trying to find each others weaknesses and pick each other apart. Not the most physical match I've ever seen but both men clearly giving it their all, a bunch of near falls on both sides, and then Strong nails his finisher, and you think he's got it in the basg as the ref counts 3...but then looks up to see that Roode had a foot under the rope. Ring announcer starts to announce Strong as the winner and NEW NXT Champion, but the ref says no, waves off the decision while Strong and his family celebrate ringside, thinking he's the NXT Champion before the ref runs over and explains no, Roode had his foot under the rope, the match will go on. Roode hits a quick move to lay out Strong, followed by the Glorious DDT on the outside after playing possum for some reason in the ring, both men go back inside and Roode finds the Glorious DDT once more, this time for the 3 and Roode is still your NXT Champion.

Pretty fun match overall...I found it more humorous than perhaps I should have at Strong's fiancée/wife's facial reactions when they'd pan to her and her screaming "YOU'RE A CHEATER!" @ Roode a few times after the outside Glorious DDT, but both men really giving it their all, and a kind of touching moment as Strong's mom and fiancée/wife console him as Roode celebrated post-match. **** 1/2/*****.

Overall, I'd rate tonight's show a solid C+/B-.

[Juan]

[Nicky Fives]

Not sure splitting Alpha is a good call.....

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Who needs a tag division anyway? Fuck em all.

[Evil Vito]

That sounds less like Alpha breaking up and more that they're staying friends and just going after singles titles for the time being. No reason they can't jump back into the tag title picture once the Usos/New Day feud is over with.

I actually think that sort of stuff could build depth in the division over time. It doesn't have to be that if you're in a tag team you always have to work tag matches or have your tag partner at ringside.

True Story of how the WWF got Randy Savage.

Randy was working Memphis at the time and didn't have a phone. To supplement his income, Randy sold AmWay products. So the WWF had Jimmy Hart call the Memphis T.V station where they filmed their studio show since Jimmy also used to work there and asked the person on the phone if there's anyone there who happens to sell AmWay. And that's how they got Randy on the phone. The rest is history

True Story of how the WWF got Jake The Snake.

Jake was working Georgia at the time and didn't have any crack. To supplement his crack addiction, Jake wrestled.

Yeah not an official split but for the time being Smackdown loses a team. Unlike RAW, Smackdown has depth to not be an issue now but also run the risk of Alphas becoming like Cass/Enzo if Vince gets too happy over a singles run.

Maybe. I kind of feel like they were put in positions to be entertaining, but the WWE didn't really know what they had with them.

[Mr. Nerfect]

As far as Alpha goes:

I'd prefer it if they were kept together as a team with some focus, but since they don't focus on teams, it will probably endear them more to WWE audiences to be split up and develop on their own. They can always team again with their more established personalities later on.

My parents dragged me state to state to attend AmWay seminars, it is borderline Scientology. Anyone else ever join or know of the cult?

My parents did for awhile when I was around elementary/jr high age. Seemed all the truly successful sellers were the ones using it as secondary income or a subsidiary (of sorts) to other work (like supplying yourown restaurants with food, cookware, and cleaning supplies nearly exclusively from yourself).

Still a big fan of that clothes detergent, though.

Primo Colon is apparently out with a knee injury and is scheduled to get surgery. I think this is a good opportunity to repackage Epico into something that might mean more than simply being "the one that isn't Primo." Let him use his real name and cut some promos. The Colons are naturally pretty confident people, so if given some time, it may get some lower-card traction.

"Puerto Rican Royalty" Orlando Colon could very easily become a segment-filler on SmackDown each week. At least try something with him, because there's talent there, they just have never really bothered to plug into it.

Haven't checked yet on show details but WWE currently has a new US champion according to PWI.

AJ Styles just defeated Kevin Owens to win the WWE United States championship at Madison Square Garden in NYC.

The show is still ongoing so we will see if the switch sticks.

Agreed. Easily one of my favorite wrestling related podcasts. Love it when Edge and Christian have a go at each other.

A bit saddened by the departure of Austin Aries. I hope he figures things out.

[Volare]

A Double vs Bullet Club in ROH.

[Rammsteinmad]

Considering that Aries spent the majority of his main roster time on the shelf, not really sure what he was expecting in terms of his position. Some of these indy guys come in and if they're not main-eventing PPV's after three months they feel like they're being misused.

Aw well.

[Fignuts]

To be fair, Aries has more than just indy guy work rate. He's got charisma and a personality thats great for mainstream wrestling.

WWE recently signed Lio Rush to a deal. Rush had hinted for a while about wanting to go to the WWE because of 205 Live and their Cruiser division.

Former CZW champion and ROH star Lio Rush announced during tonight's CZW event that he would make a final appearance for Combat Zone Wrestling on 8/5 against Joey Janella in Voorhees, NJ. The word going around backstage at CZW is that Rush was in Orlando earlier this week at the WWE Performance Center and has been offered an NXT deal.

Rush, 22, was originally trained at the MCW school in Baltimore (his first tag team partner was current NXT talent "Velveteen Dream" Patrick Clark) and was under contract to ROH from 2015-2017 before exiting the promotion.


Meanwhile NJPW is considering signing Matt Riddle to a deal after sending a scout to Revolution Pro Wrestling.

Honestly, that probably wouldn't go under domestic violence battery, much like Alberto wasn't stabbed by a homeless dude. So let's wait for the truth.
