[Dark One]

JBL is annoying tonight

Cole has become the most tolerable announcer in WWE

You take that back.

[Innovator]

HOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSS FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT

[Cool King]

Oh wait, Lana does get mic time.

[Corndad]

OH Shit they ARE going there.

[Dark One]

Whoever guessed they'd tone it down was wrong.

They turned it up to 12.

[Cool King]

Wow, they're actually using the plane crash to get heat?

[KIRA]

Theyre really doing it...

[Cool King]

http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1168589066l/35491.jpg

[mhirn3]

Pretty sure I'd "move to Russia" for a piece of Lana too. Carry on Rusev.

[Emperor Smeat]

Not surprised the WWE didn't tone the Lana stuff down.

[KIRA]

Lana got her accent from the Rocky and Bullwinkle show

[Cool King]

I love Swagger so much.

[#1-norm-fan]

Man I am looking forward to this match like I haven't looked forward to a non-title midcard match in ages.

[rockman725]

Swagger HAS to win now, right

[Emperor Smeat]

http://i.minus.com/iblVjYO3MY0Adx.gif

[Corndad]

I picked Rusev in Tipsters but after that promo Swagger has to win this right or at least get the upper hand?

[mhirn3]

Rusev will CRUSH....Lana after the show in the hotel.

[Innovator]

I'm digging face Swagger

[Dark One]

http://www.thesteelcage.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/swagger.gif

[parkmania]

Lana's dye job looking bad tonight. So bad it distracted me from what I was supposed to be looking at on Lana.

[mhirn3]

If Swagger is my choice for America vs "Russia" I choose Lana.

[Droford]

Brock as Champion should represent the US vs Rusev...that'd be interesting

[#1-norm-fan]

Pretty good commercial for SummerSlam


Probably once Vince is gone considering the Denver snub and him really loving the area for the summer tour.

And the fact that Hollywood for the second biggest event they run all year is a good way to try to get that mainstream attention they crave so desperately.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I wish Swagger and Zeb had a female companion as it's the only way Lana can get any proper retribution.</font>

[mhirn3]

I dont really watch most of raw, it's the victory lock and not the patriot lock now? Oh wait nm Cole and JBL each called it different things.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wasn't it originally called the Patriot Act when he became A Real American?

[Droford]

Brock vs Rusev would intrigue me more than this

[#1-norm-fan]

I don't know what I want from this match. Rusev winning pretty much ends the feud a few weeks in. Or at least puts a big damper on it and doesn't make Swagger look like a real threat after being a glorified jobber for so long. And I don't wanna see Rusev lose and look stoppable yet. I'd be fine with Rusev getting DQed and just destroying Swagger after the match to the point where he has to be helped to the back leading to more heat for a SummerSlam rematch.

[Poit]

Wasn't it originally called the Patriot Act when he became A Real American?

Yeah, for a week or so.

[mhirn3]

They've each called it different things........JBL said Patriot Lock but Cole called it the other that's why I was so confused.

[Droford]

Swagger's hair is a mess

[KaosDarksol]

both men's hair weren't prepared for a match this long

[#1-norm-fan]

Submission match at SummerSlam between these two would be awesome.

[slik]

Rusev's road to future food for Cena continues.

[#1-norm-fan]

Alright, that works.

[Fenix122]

Wow....a countout

[Dark One]

USA lying down on the job again.

[Droford]

lol countout win

[mhirn3]

Double countout?

[Cool King]

Countout?

http://hugelolcdn.com/i/231836.gif

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Flag dropping from a countout victory seems stupid.

[Corndad]

My Tipsters is balls so far.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Flag match!</font>

[Dark One]

Flag dropping from a countout victory seems stupid.

According to Russia, Rusev beat Jack Swagger in 15 seconds by ripping his arms off and beating him to death with them, and then the crowd chanted for Rusev.

[#1-norm-fan]

Flag dropping from a countout victory seems stupid.

It is. He's a heel, STD...

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Bill Kazmire wins.

[KIRA]

god I love Stardust

[Vastardikai]

Double Countout would have worked better there.

[Droford]

im surprised no 'do not try this at home' on that commercial cause Im pretty sure drinking washer fluid would make you sick

[Dark One]

http://dailywrestlingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Stardust-gifs-001.gif

[Cool King]

According to Russia, Rusev beat Jack Swagger in 15 seconds by ripping his arms off and beating him to death with them, and then the crowd chanted for Rusev.

Sounds more like something North Korea would do.

They did something like that during the World Cup.

[mhirn3]

Ending is smart, keeps them both strong and gives you a storyline rematch.

[Cool King]

Rollins to face some jobber then?

[slik]

Gold/Star dust going to the paywindah tonite baby!

[Cool King]

If he is facing some jobber, then I'm sure Ambrose will cost him the match.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Alexa Bliss gimmick is stolen.

[Droford]

Seth Rollins is here for his countout victory over dean ambrose

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

So Dean runs down and match begins?

[Cool King]

Alexa Bliss gimmick is stolen.

Alexa Bliss sounds like a porn star name.

[mhirn3]

Good to know you can still see this tomorrow on the way to Raw

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bsd-L0BCAAAxyES.jpg:large

[Droford]

Cue Brock lesnar?

[Evil Vito]

Flag dropping from a countout victory seems stupid.

<font color=goldenrod>Lex Luger beat Yokozuna by countdown and got confetti dropped on him, hoisted up on the shoulders of other wrestlers, and waved a flag around. And that was to end a PPV. That was worse.</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

Come on Lesnar.

[Droford]

hell yeah sort of for Tipsters

[Cool King]

That was an absolutely fantastic match.

MOTY candidate right there.

[Droford]

Yay for points in tipsters! Woo

[Savio]

Worst Ambrose match ever

[Crimson]

Great. Only match I wana see ain't happening

[mhirn3]

That was an absolutely fantastic match.

MOTY candidate right there.


I'm pretty sure that was THE greatest match OF ALL THE TIMES.

[Cool King]

Oh, Ambrose.

I guess I was kinda right, then.

[#1-norm-fan]

<font color=goldenrod>Lex Luger beat Yokozuna by countdown and got confetti dropped on him, hoisted up on the shoulders of other wrestlers, and waved a flag around. And that was to end a PPV. That was worse.</font>

It was also a title match and Yokozuna kept the title. I was 9 at the time and even I was thinking "Why am I supposed to feel happy about this?"

[Corndad]

OH hey Dean

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>You had ONE job, security!</font>

[Dark One]

YOUR PUNY DOORS AND WALLS CANNOT STOP THE TITTY MASTER

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: Ambrose and Rollins get to brawl a bit.

[Droford]

the harris Bros?

[Cool King]

These budget cuts are seriously effecting the security.

[Dark One]

I'd go in for a HHH vs. Dean Ambrose match.

[Corndad]

Ambrose/HHH needs to happen at sometime too.

[Droford]

HHH runs the former Shield gauntlet at Summerslam vs Ambrose and Reigns

[Savio]

"I ain't done with ya rollins i aint done with ya by a long shot."

[Cool King]

And again, Jamie Noble appears and Ambrose is under control.

All hail Jamie Noble.

[slik]

Rollins reminds me of Shawn Michaels

Ambrose reminds me of Steve Austin

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>"Triple H said you can't be in the arena, Dean Ambrose."
"Dean Ambrose? Who is that? My name is Guy Incognito!"
"Oh, sorry, carry on."</font>

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wheres the case?

[Droford]

Im just glad they officially declared Rollins the winner of the match, I needed the tipsters points

[Corndad]

[Droford]

completely ignored the Miz's return

[Cool King]

Wheres the case?

Rollins dropped in on the ramp.

Triple H walked past in on his way to break up the fight.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Bill DeMott does not think Dean Ambrose continuing to ruin this show is Hugh Morrus.</font>

[Shadrick]

I get that Miz isn't important to this feud, but I think it's just funny he was left out completely from this video package

[Droford]

I pretty much have to win Battleground tipsters if Bo Dallas wins the IC title.

I BO-LIEVE!

[Cool King]

I have Jericho on Tipsters, but I'm sure Wyatt is winning this one.

[Shisen Kopf]

Too many promos and commercials tonight. This feels like a Raw show.

[#1-norm-fan]

The last guys Jericho has come back to "put over" cleanly have been Ryback, Fandango, Dolph Ziggler and CM Punk.

I'm almost hoping he DOESN'T put over Bray here. It's clearly a curse.

[Cool King]

I really wish Wyatt would stop saying the name of the city. :-\

[Cool King]

Too many promos and commercials tonight. This feels like a Raw show.

Certainly does, with the stage being the Raw stage adding to it. #budgetcuts

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The last guys Jericho has come back to "put over" clean have been Ryback, Fandango, Dolph Ziggler and CM Punk.

I'm almost hoping he DOESN'T put over Bray here. It's clearly a curse.

a curse of being a starmaker?

[Dark One]

Jesus. Bray's eye is still wrecked. Did Flair punch him with a nuclear missile or something?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Assholes give us a predictable main event and cancel a match people actually wanted to see? Shitheads.

[Droford]

Jesus. Bray's eye is still wrecked. Did Flair punch him with a nuclear missile or something?

Hall of Fame ring.

[Droford]

Tampa crowd was bonkers for the tag match but have been pretty much dead the rest of the night.

[Savio]

dont care about this much since i know y2k will lose.

[Dark One]

Hall of Fame ring.

I guess Hogan's did give Abyss superpowers.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Is that the first time the Family has been kicked out?

[mhirn3]

Tampa crowd was bonkers for the tag match but have been pretty much dead the rest of the night.

Ive been thinking that too.

[Cool King]

Is Cole trying to not laugh at something?

For the last five minutes, his voice has sounded like he's amused by something or trying not to laugh.

[Cool King]

"We Comin' For You Ziggla!" sign.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Ive been thinking that too.

Yep thats two ppvs in a row they had the match of the event so far.

[KIRA]

Yes Lawler demons called yoga.

[mhirn3]

rock bottom!

[ron the dial]

yes, king, demons possess bray wyatt to move around while doing a back bend.

[slik]

Jericho wins!

[Dark One]

Wat

[ron the dial]

well that was weak as hell

[Cool King]

Haha, spot on for Tipsters!

I'm surprised.

[Poit]

Oh just fuck Tipsters.

[Corndad]

Damn. I give up on Tipsters tonight lol

Probably another rematch at SummerSlam

[Cool King]

dont care about this much since i know y2k will lose.

He lost big time! :p

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What?

[Droford]

dont care about this much since i know y2k will lose.

you was saying?

[Emperor Smeat]

wow Jericho actually won

[Savio]

just go with the opposite of what i predict tonight guys

[Dark One]

http://i.imgur.com/xvS24.gif

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Squeaky clean win in their first match? The fuck?</font>

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Ash Jericho

[Fenix122]

Oh just fuck Tipsters.

This...a thousand times this, completely shit the bed this ppv

[KIRA]

meanwhile in the parking lot....

[Droford]

time for Bo Dallas to become an intercontinental champion!

[Savio]

0 for 3 on predictions tonight

[#1-norm-fan]

The last guys Jericho has come back to "put over" cleanly have been Ryback, Fandango, Dolph Ziggler and CM Punk.

I'm almost hoping he DOESN'T put over Bray here. It's clearly a curse.

Jesus, I was only kidding.

What the fuck, WWE? lol

[Corndad]

When Rollins and Ambrose do have a match it will be Special as hell.

[mhirn3]

Shocked Jericho won

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The Basham Brothers Security.

[Droford]

you'd think Rollins would want to stay and cash in on the winner of the Fatal fourway..

[Cool King]

I had a feeling he would be in the car.

[parkmania]

He's got a tire iron!

[Droford]

The Basham Brothers Security.

Harris Brothers!

[ron the dial]

if i hear "cuff and stuff" one more fucking time...

[Savio]

Should steal his briefcase

[#1-norm-fan]

Remember when Bray Wyatt was a terrifying enigma who seemed like a force?

Well it was a good few months.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Steal the briefcase.

[Droford]

Ambrose should have stayed in the car til Rollins went to put his stuff in the trunk.

[Cool King]

The Basham Brothers Security.

I was actually thinking Gymini.

[Savio]

if i hear "cuff and stuff" one more fucking time...
sounds like rape porn

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Wyatt will surely do something heinous to Jericho to get Jericho to agree to a rematch and Wyatt will get the SummerSlam rub...but still that was baffling.</font>

[Corndad]

Love Saturday Nights Main Event so freakin much.

[KIRA]

What does the word services entail?

[Corndad]

Wyatts will have a big SummerSlam me thinks.

[Droford]

The 1980s SNME stuff is available but they clearly show the SNME from a couple years ago which isnt

[mhirn3]

Trunk Ambrose for the win.

[Dark One]

Oh jesus. Are we really going to have 20 mini-entrances?

[parkmania]

Steal the briefcase.

I was waiting a whole year for Cody Rhodes to come in with the real MitB briefcase (complete with seaweed) later in the year after the Sandowized one went away.

[#1-norm-fan]

No Heyman. So... it's looking like that's officially over. lol

[Cool King]

That advert for the 1980's on the WWE Network just reminded me of how much of a good song "Obsession" is.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Z0SUZRzp7Sg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[KaosDarksol]

Ok the match I have been waiting for... I BOlieve

[mhirn3]

you'd think Rollins would want to stay and cash in on the winner of the Fatal fourway..

He's got an early call time on the set of mad max 12

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Cesaroo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Savio]

Love Curtis's theme.

[slik]

Come on BO

(or Cesaro)

[#1-norm-fan]

<font color=goldenrod>Wyatt will surely do something heinous to Jericho to get Jericho to agree to a rematch and Wyatt will get the SummerSlam rub...but still that was baffling.</font>

Probably. Splitting feuds is not how you make a guy look strong though.

[Corndad]

Holy Tanner Ryder

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

First man eliminated you know it bro.

[KIRA]

:'( we were a 3 man band

[Cool King]

Still using the 3MB theme. :'(

[#1-norm-fan]

lol @ Slater's theme music still saying "We're a three man band". Seems easy to change...

[Droford]

Sandow just got back from the beach

[Cool King]

Love Curtis's theme.

It's great.

[Savio]

just say "and the rest" already.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

3rd Nexus Member to the ring...

[parkmania]

Slater didn't go back to the "One Man Band" theme...

[KaosDarksol]

the fact that heath slater still comes out to 3mb cracks me up

[Dark One]

Which is longer, the combined total time of all 20 entrances here, or your average Undertaker entrance?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Xavier Woods gets his first down the ring introduction...no angel grove.

[Savio]

Johnny Cage

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

IT'S BO TIME!

[Emperor Smeat]

Bo Time

[Cool King]

No Hollywood intro for Miz?

[Corndad]

Go Away, Miz.

[KIRA]

Either Cesaro or Bo

[#1-norm-fan]

"I've got some... BAD NEWS for you all. I'M FINE! Match cancelled!"

[Droford]

Im affraid Ive got some Bad News!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

WE ARE ONE!

[RVDmark]

Ryder left space in his bag for the title, here's hoping.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. I think Khali was supposed to look nervous.

[Corndad]

Khali still seen as a threat eh

[Dark One]

Well, Ryder got his plane ticket's worth.

[Cool King]

Wooo, I got the first elimination correct for Tipsters!

Though I did say it would be by Ryback that would eliminate Woods.

[Corndad]

DAMN IT. I almost put Xavier over Ryder as first gone and they both go at like the same damn time.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Ryder goes out 2nd instead of 1st. Just fuck Tipsters. I move that we expunge this PPV from the records.</font>

[parkmania]

Damn, I had Zack Ryder as first eliminated - missed it by that much!

[Cool King]

Imagine if Khali won.

That would be a laugh.

[KIRA]

Why is Hunico made to pay for the original Caras sins

[Droford]

<font color=goldenrod>Ryder goes out 2nd instead of 1st. Just fuck Tipsters. I move that we expunge this PPV from the records.</font>

F you, Im doing good for once

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Why is Hunico made to pay for the original Caras sins

Because he got injuried/suspended for 6 months and derailed Camacho in NXT.

[Cool King]

<font color=goldenrod>Ryder goes out 2nd instead of 1st. Just fuck Tipsters. I move that we expunge this PPV from the records.</font>

The crazy thing is, all this year, I've sucked at Tipsters.

Tonight, everyone seems to be doing bad at it, but I'm doing great!

[Poit]

Wait, where's RVD? I had his elimination in Tipsters.

Ugh, just fuck Tipsters.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The Miz pulling the Jerry Lawler.

[Cool King]

Wait, where's RVD? I had his elimination in Tipsters.

Ugh, just fuck Tipsters.

Lock Jaw hunted him down and killed him.

[#1-norm-fan]

Why is Hunico made to pay for the original Caras sins

The plan definitely seemed to be to push him as the successor to Mysterio. But he was a fuck up in the ring and it hampered that plan. So now they get a guy who can wrestle and not constantly get injured under the mask. And he's more of a jobber than ever before.

...

[mhirn3]

Ziggler, Cesaro, Bo, Shaemus final 4........oh but its a battle royal so there will be a ridiculous Kofi spot.

[KIRA]

lol Ryback will never win a title

[Droford]

Wait, where's RVD? I had his elimination in Tipsters.

Ugh, just fuck Tipsters.

He missed the match, cause he got high.

He didn't win the IC title, cause he got high.

He got fired again, cause he got high.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder what Kofi's is going to do for his big spot.

[Corndad]

Please tell me Miz isn't gonna steal this and soil the IC Title.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

my final two is Bo and Kofi..still a chance

[KIRA]

If slater wins this I will whip of my pants and run through my neighborhood stark naKED

[#1-norm-fan]

lol Kofi!

[Droford]

Bo is gonna "win' til Miz sneaks in and dumps him

[Corndad]

Nice spot there with Kofi/Cesaro

[Cool King]

SLATER!

[Emperor Smeat]

That was pretty great. Like how Big E didn't care at all during it.

[Dark One]

Oh come the fuck on.

[Droford]

If slater wins this I will whip of my pants and run through my neighborhood stark naKED

Ill do the same if Bo wins

[ron the dial]

jesus christ heath

[KIRA]

well keeping the ol pants on tonight I guess

[Corndad]

Dolph has a shot!

[Droford]

damnit KOFI

[ron the dial]

ziggler gotta win this

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

One Man Band

[Cool King]

My pick was Cesaro but now I really want Ziggler to win.

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Slater taking out Cesaro

[Corndad]

Forgot about freakin Miz. Gonna be so pissed.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I forgot all about the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Makes me feel dumber for picking Cesaro. He was never going to win 2 PPV battle royals in a row.</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

So does Miz win or does he pull a Santino?

[Droford]

damnit

[parkmania]

Slater just cost me Tipsters points!?!?!?!?!?


THAT'S INCONCEIVABLE!!!

[Shadrick]

HEATH ELIMINATES CESARO

[Dark One]

Forgot about freakin Miz. Gonna be so pissed.

It's okay. WWE will soon again too.

[Cool King]

Ziggler teabagging Sheamus there.

[ron the dial]

hahaha they clealry didn't want miz in that shot

[Droford]

Miz is gonna win obviously, that sucks

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Miz should be DQed for spending this much time out of the ring intentionally.

[Corndad]

Miz gets retribution on Sheamus. Can see it coming. FUCK

[Shadrick]

So does Miz win or does he pull a Santino?

Could totally see that happening.

[mhirn3]

Miz for the win?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Holy shit Dolph almost broke his neck.

[Cool King]

Fuck you Miz!

[slik]

You have got to be fucking kidding me

[KIRA]

DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT

[Dark One]

This whole PPV is bullshit.

[ron the dial]

another weak finish.

[Cool King]

Why is everyone so far behind? :-\

[Corndad]

Just Fuck Miz. Fuck. Fuckiedy Fuck.

D Fn Z on Zigglers trunks. Dolph Fuckin Ziggler lmao so dope
