haha shut the hell up, Gertner

[#1-norm-fan]

Lol Gertner transitioning into a Triple H mark as he becomes a Vince clone is gonna be a wild scene.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I wonder how long it is until we hear about HHH sexually harassing young masseuses.

[Mr. Nerfect]

HHH is still HHH. People laud him as a hero but he's a shrewd, reprehensible fuck from time to time. I respect him as a shark--and he obviously has a mind for wrestling. But he a piece of shit.

Never forget the reign of terror. And never forget that he's responsible for white-washing (or McMahon washing) so much of the overall wrestling and WWE narrative. He's a propagandist to the highest degree.

Agreed. I’m no Triple H fan. Almost all the guys he pushed in NXT are the sorts of guys he wouldn’t have been caught dead working with. His boutique product was designed to get himself over. I’ve always questioned how he would actually handle the main roster. And I’ve got some criticisms of his approach so far.

That being said, if you want to talk about spin, look at the desperate measures AEW and its fans go to trying to turn 1 million viewers on TBS into some sort of win. You’ve got carnies both side.

Noid if we all admit Tony Khan is a bit of a dink and AEW could be better would you finally stop blitzing us with further, bloated hot takes?

Change “a bit of a dink” to “big fucking idiot” and “AEW could be better” to “AEW isn’t good at all” and I’ll still keep giving my premium opinion. But at least you’ll be honest and up to speed.

I could have swore he dropped it quicker to Orton. Maybe I’m thinking of someone else who had a big title win and then instantly got their momentum killed.

As far as the match, it’s one of those “If any result is bad then just don’t book the match” situations. He absolutely shouldn’t be the one to beat Reigns but how do you not end this big show on a shit note if Drew doesn’t win? A simple post-match beat down isn’t gonna cut it.

They end the show with a Wyatt Family re-debut. Everyone forgets Drew lost.

That sounds horrible, lol.

To you. There’s a large portion of fans that want Bray back. I could do without Braun and Rowan being there personally.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Not knocking you like it’s your preferred booking, XL. Just the potential reality of the idea.

If there’s somewhere to debut Bray, because you HAVE to — have him do something The Judgment Day once they are done with Edge & Rey. Dominik’s turned heel and they’re all in the ring. Bray comes out and hugs Balor. Or something.

On Clash: I’m surprised that AJ Styles doesn’t have a match. He won the WWE Title there a few years ago. I’m not saying it was a MASSIVE moment or anything, but it would have been nice to see them cultivate that appeal. That’s why I had Lashley vs. Miz vs. Styles vs. Omos on my card for it. They get AJ, Lashley who is also a huge babyface and someone to see live, The Miz who’s one of their stars and Omos as a spectacle. Ciampa can run interference. Dexter Lumis could get involved and take Styles out. Ciampa can run off MVP and Lashley can beat Miz for the finish.

[Mr. Nerfect]

To you. There’s a large portion of fans that want Bray back. I could do without Braun and Rowan being there personally.

Those people can’t wipe their own asses. Bray’s been pretty consistently horrible. I get why they want to try and course correct their failed projects, and he’s a big part of their dark years, it’s just so many steps backwards.

[Mr. Nerfect]

For the record, I think Bray and Braun will both be back. There will be the idea to get all their former pushed guys back. Bray moved merch too, so the change in management will be seen as a fresh slate for him. Hell, I can see them going back for Bo Dallas too, should he be open to a return (he’s only 32). I DON’T think it’ll happen at Clash at the Castle though. I think Bray gets weeks and weeks of vignettes. I could see the show closing with something from Bray — like a Michael Cole sounds off, we go to a dark room kind of thing.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’m still feeling the title change for Drew. I just can’t see the UK guy not winning. I think it’ll be met with controversy, but I see them going for the hot finish. I can unfortunately see Braun getting involved in that. Karrion Kross pulls out the referee on a Claymore. Knocks out the ref. Riddle runs down and takes out Kross. Braun’s music hits, he comes down, Powerslam to Roman. Drew wins. The sword is dangled that the other referee will try and reverse the decision, do a Dusty — or that they’ll use this to try and separate the belts. Nothing comes of that.

If the referee is “new” and someone that can work, that could be good for eventually getting them involved in the story when they don’t reverse the decision. They can become a target for The Bloodline. If he wasn’t released, someone like Trent Seven would be good for this.

Surprise ending

[Mr. Nerfect]

Full show predictions:

* Balor & Priest beat Edge & Rey. It’s predictable, I’m not a fan of the idea, but I think they’re going to have Dominik turn heel and join Judgment Day. That seems to be the only reason he’s out there. I like the idea of Edge wanting to kill Dominik and Rey trying to stop him. I hope Heyman can steer this in the right direction. Pretty funny that Buddy Matthews used to bang Aaliyah Mysterio in the story, and now Dominik is going to kayfabe get with Buddy’s gf.

* I’m increasingly optimistic that Shayna might beat Liv Morgan for the SD Women’s Title. Liv can still hover around the title scene with Shayna and Ronda there.

* Gunther beats Sheamus in a fucking banger.

* Matt Riddle beats Seth Rollins in another fucking banger.

* Damage Ctrl defeats Bianca, Asuka and Alexa because it’s the right thing to do.

* Drew wins the belts.

100%

He was on that Weakest Link show, and kept voting Booker as the Weakest link JUST because HHH didnt want to put Booker over, even there!

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

But you better believe he condescendingly pretended to like Booker backstage.

[Sting Fan]

HHH confirmed the much talked about Lesnar walk out and return when Vince was fired in his interview the the MMA fella.

[Mr. Nerfect]

HHH confirmed the much talked about Lesnar walk out and return when Vince was fired in his interview the the MMA fella.

Where’s that? I can only find him saying there’s “some truth” to it because Brock wanted to digest the change in management.

[Mr. Nerfect]

What Triple H said about Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman gives me hope. He didn’t flat-out dismiss either guy, but basically said Braun was polarizing and that if he wants to do this at the highest of levels, he’d give him another look. That reads to me like “sort your shit out, go to Japan, don’t fuck up, maybe one day.” Bray seemed more 50/50, but Trips did imply that Bray was his own worst enemy.

Hopefully they’re both off the radar for the time being.

Braun also posted a picture of himself in a CYN singlet and he looks so jacked that I don’t think he’d pass the Wellness policy.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Meanwhile he is definitely trying to court Sasha Banks back into their camp.

Joking aside. Horribly overbooked finish. Add The Usos, Sami, and KO in and you’re probably close.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Joking aside. Horribly overbooked finish. Add The Usos, Sami, and KO in and you’re probably close.

Every now and then something like that works. Especially if you can get the crowd to a fever pitch. Drew and Roman are both good, but it’s probably not going to be as good in the ring as Sheamus and Gunther or Rollins and Riddle.

But hey, if you want Drew to go over cleanly, there’s nothing wrong with that idea, per se.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Triple H seems to be trying to bolster the tag division on SmackDown. Imperium seem like they’re back together, Hit Row are in there. They’ve got a long way to go before they reach the level of Alpha Academy on Raw, but it’s a start.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Fightful Select is saying that Bray Wyatt has an offer from a startup wrestling company, most likely Freddie Prince, Jr’s. I assumed that was dead in the water because FPJ was back under the WWE umbrella with WWE Rivals.

It’s probably dirt sheet bullshit, but I’d rather something else come along for Bray than him returning to the WWE.

[Lock Jaw]

Not a fan of that, because I want Dwayne Johnson Promotions to be good.

[xrodmuc316]

Freddie's big thing was he wanted to set up the show to get his wrestlers in the screen actors guild, or whatever it is called nowadays, which would give them access to all kinds of benefits like insurance and pension plans. Once they were in WWE and AEW talent would both have an easy case that they should be in as well.

[Mr. Nerfect]

If Bray Wyatt’s going to go anywhere, I hope it’s NXT. Let him play a fake babyface looking for redemption. Eventually it can be revealed he is poisoning the minds of the young talent or whatever.

I’ve been listening via YouTube. Ye gods, what have I missed out on?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don’t really care about the WWE Hall of Fame, but I am intrigued to see what Paul and Stephanie do with it. I can see Triple H being less rigid with a “one posthumous induction” kind of thing. I can see Demolition in, lawsuits aside. I can also see him wanting to put The Midnight Express, which could lead to a great speech from Corny.

Lex Luger, like John Cena, is one of those guys we didn't really appreciate in his prime. His timing was always good, and he had a good look.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Yokozuna was a fuckin vibe. Such a shame he couldn’t control his weight because he was an iconic performer with an iconic gimmick. He just got de pushed too quickly to leave the mark he really could have.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

That the gimmick was around at the same time of E. Honda in Streetfighter probably added to the mystique.

When I think of WCW, I think about the main event guys, the cruiserweights, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Buff Bagwell and Disco Inferno.

It was around the time of WrestleMania 19, because he defended the CW Title against Rey at that show.

[Sepholio]

Surprised no one has mentioned Bryan Danielson basically announced he's retiring at a Q&A in Vancouver. Said he will never return to WWE and that his current deal with AEW will be the last he ever signs anywhere. It is a 3 year deal and he started last summer so he basically told everyone he is hanging it up in 2 years. Said he wants to spend time being a dad.

Said the reason he won't go back to WWE is not because of anything negative about them or their product but that the way he lives is to always move forward and do new things and that would feel like a step backward to him. The reason he decided to join AEW specifically was because he wants to work in NJPW some and do one more G1.

[Destor]

Going back to around 2019 or 2020 Danielson was saying his career as a full-time wrestler were coming to an end soon. And at some point after signing with AEW he implied he’d never fully retire but maybe just take special bookings here and there when the time is right.

Who knows. Maybe he does intend on fully calling it a career. He might’ve never wanted to do that but kids change things. So long as he gets to go out on his own terms.

Nah, it will go longer than that. Roman will play with his food a bit and Logan will get some hope spots in.

Elias could be returning as himself in the future, instead of pretending to be a fake twin brother named Ezekiel or whatever. If he does, I only hope they give him back his classic theme:

[Mr. Nerfect]

The Elias gimmick fucking sucked. It’s peak “groan WWE” for me. Encapsulates that 2015-2017 wtf are they doing shit. Ezekiel was at least a way to segue into him being a wrestler. The guy pretending to be his own brother to fuck with people had legs.

Just repackage him under a new identity in NXT. Or use him as Ezekiel Samson down there, since he’d technically be a rookie. I’ve got zero desire for the guy strumming his guitar on Raw or SmackDown.

I’d be fine with him showing up as Elias for the Halloween Raw, but he’s Ezekiel playing Elias because it’s Halloween. If he can segue that into something (EE Samson?) then fine. But Elias is a step back.

Agreed. Feels like Elias ran out of steam, hence the trouble trying to repackage him. Really not interested in another main roster run for that character.

If they want to be cute, they can shove AJ Styles out there to bang the mat for him and check on him after the match as his trainer to set up Reigns vs. Styles for Survivor Series or something.

Yeah, stupid. ALLLLLLLL the other people on the roster, and this. A HUGE reason I stopped watching was when they did this shit. "Special attraction" or whatever. Well, Logan Paul is not a special attraction, and Reigns should absolutely obliterate him, hands down.

[XL]

Can see it leading to a big Survivor Series match. Roman/Usos/Sikoa/Zayn vs Paul/Styles/some other dudes from Raw (assuming they keep the “one night of the year Raw and SmackDown go head to head” stuff)

[Vastardikai]

It is an easy Main Event that isn't necessarily for our consumption. Casual folks who heard of Logan Paul? They'll eat this shit up. And you get the "Who is this God of a man beating up my Logan!?" Reaction. Logan will be able to do his shit, and Reigns will carry him and make him look good.

It is a brilliant move, financially.

It sets up a story for Logan Paul entering the Rumble and a feud with whoever gets in between him and that goal too.

Yeah, fair point. I can see Triple H and Stephanie trying to give them more focus, which could help in one aspect. The talent being jet-lagged, the familiarity the crowd has with the product, the heat, etc. are all still going to be factors. It’s a tough situation for Logan actually.

I get why people are excited. Triple H’s heart is in the right place. I’m not feeling the timing of this though. And I think the stip should come about from the feuds and not be announced so far out ahead of time. And there isn’t going to be blood, so it won’t feel like authentic War Games.

Sometimes I think about how things would have been different if Cornette had stuck around for SmackDown. He’d probably have gone insane. You need him to have different DNA.

Mysterious thing on WWE website...guessing Kross via the hourglass symbol but people on Twitter desperately want it to be Bray...

https://www.wwe.com/comewithme

[Mr. Nerfect]

That’s the most Bray Wyatt thing I’ve ever seen.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It also seems to reference Karrion Kross and Finn Balor too. Maybe it’s something between them or Bray is going to target Judgment Day.

[XL]

We’ve only got to wait til Friday to find out!

I don’t think it’s Kross. Definitely feels like a Bray thing. Not sure who he’s go after though. Braun?

Agreed about the stip just being announced instead of working to it. Though I get it, if you can’t have Regal come out and shout “WAR GAMES!” what’s the point?

They’re promoting 3 different events now, which is just a little confusing.

[XL]

Or.

It’s “Hangman” Adam Page. Kenny and the Bucks killed his world so he’s off to WWE.

[Mr. Nerfect]

We’ve only got to wait til Friday to find out!

I don’t think it’s Kross. Definitely feels like a Bray thing. Not sure who he’s go after though. Braun?

They seem to be getting loose with the roster split, so it wouldn’t surprise me if Friday is his debut and he ends up teaming with Edge & Rey against Judgment Day in Saudi Arabia. There’s probably something to the “DEMON” being the first letter guesses and crossed out like the letters in Balor’s logo.

I can see Triple H being a mark for the idea of The Demon vs. The Fiend.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Bray puts together a new family to go against The Judgment Day either. Bo Dallas & Erick Rowan? Dijakovic? Then you can do The Wyatt Family vs. The Judgment Day at Survivor Series.

The group name “Judgment Day” refers to the end of the world. Who killed the world?

I can see the white rabbit and hourglass just being red herrings or something that comes up later. Maybe Kross and Dijakovic are the new family?

[Mr. Nerfect]

According to a website called “Irish Central,” “white rabbit” is something that children often say to the first person they encounter on the first day of a month for good luck.

I remember saying that over here after a “pinch and a punch for the first day of the month.”

I can definitely see it being Bray going after Finn.

[XL]

I didn’t catch the Demon thing. That’s nice. I’d be surprised if we just get The Fiend back. I could see him wanting to evolve it again. That said apparently there was a hint from Bliss too and the music they’ve been playing in the breaks in the show. Although people could just be adding 2 + 2 and getting 7.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I really, REALLY hope we don’t get The Fiend back. That being said, it apparently moved a lot of merch. Triple H seems to be having fun, but at the end of the day, he is going to want it punctuated by success so he can keep doing the things he wants to do. The Fiend, or at least that being a “side” to Bray Wyatt could be one of his tentpoles.

Finn Balor & Rhea Ripley
Karrion Kross & Scarlett
Bray & Alexa

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think his “base form” will be something slightly altered though. Probably closer to cult leader Bray, but with a different aesthetic.

Just that all these hints could lead to mixed pairings, so it wouldn’t surprise me if Alexa & Bray are at least occasionally linked together. Plus Alexa still has that doll they want to sell.

I saw someone type this on twitter earlier today.

What if it was Bray and all the firefly fun house characters came alive?

Kross is White Rabbit

Scarlett is Abby the Witch

Dexter Lumis is Mercy the Buzzard

Bray is the Master.


Pretty interesting fan theory. I don't hate it....

[Mr. Nerfect]

I admire the creativity, but I don’t want to see that on a wrestling show.

[Mr. Nerfect]

What’s the next Goldberg match? I’d like to see them do something creative, but I’ve got a feeling it’s going to be Austin Theory at Crown Jewel. Lol, they can use the tagline Goldberg vs. Austin.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don’t think it would be the worst idea in the world to bring the Women’s Titles together. I get why they’ve still got them separate (they think it spotlights more women), but it might be worth focusing on one belt. And unifying them in Saudi Arabia is…bold. I’d like to see Bianca Belair vs. Ronda Rousey. It feels like a good match for a “super card.”

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Prime Regal was a brick shithouse. He was never known as a body guy but he had a great--albeit pasty--physique when he was younger.

[Mr. Nerfect]

What should the War Games matches be at Survivor Series? It’d make sense to pit the Bloodline against 5 babyfaces, but who would you choose? Roman seems to have the most heat with Brock, Drew and Matt Riddle. That’s a good start to a team, but you’re always going to leave out top faces from that equation. And it kind of ends up feeling like a mismatch.

I’m guessing Brock won’t actually be in, but that would kind of be a shame. Does it make sense to put a babyface Owens on the other side? That’s something I see them doing, although I don’t know why the face team would trust Owens. I also see Rollins being involved just because of his history with Reigns.

Something about the timing just doesn’t feel right to siphon 5 guys into a multi-man against Reigns. Roman’s going to smash Logan Paul at Crown Jewel. How does that lead to this? Logan Paul’s been most linked with AJ Styles and Ricochet.

Maybe it just ends up being The Brawling Brutes vs. Imperium or something, lol. And Damage Ctrl on the women’s side against three faces. Whatever.

[slik]

why are people obsessed with Bray Wyatt

the only time he wrestled and I thought 'wow, this match is really good' was anytime he was in the ring with DBry

[slik]

Bray is like Danhausen, he is best used for non-wrestling purposes

[Mr. Nerfect]

If it were up to me, he wouldn’t be coming back. He is a good talker and he’s not atrocious in the ring, but almost all the Bray Wyatt stuff on the main roster has been awful and the sort of stuff I really don’t want to see from my wrestling. There’s a giant gulf between me and people who lap the silly clown stuff up.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think Braun sucks too. It’s all too hokey for me.

[Mr. Nerfect]

This might be getting a bit complicated, but I don’t hate the idea of sides needing their members to qualify for War Games. For example, Sami Zayn could earn a spot on Roman’s team, but Jey Uso misses out to Kofi Kingston or something. I dunno, I’m just spit-balling here.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I actually feel War Games would be stronger if Seth was on Roman’s team and that gave Matt Riddle more reason to go on the face side.
