Vince hasn't conquered pro wrestling until he signs Mike Tenay.

[Savio]

Mick Foley talking about how if they stopped his match with the undertaker and made it a no contest that no would remember it.


.....how ironic.

That would be the second greatest acquisition in the history of our sport.

"Why are they cheering her?! She's not blonde!! She doesn't even have fake tits!! Everyone is supposed to hate her voice like *I* do!! SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE HEEL, DAMMIT!!!"

[Sixx]

I've read the main event was actually pretty great and the fan reactions were good.

Well, not because of Reigns obviously.

[Dark One]

Thought this was actually a pretty fun show where they finally tried to course correct a couple of things that were badly needed.

Two major complaints/thoughts though:

1) who the fuck thought painting the cell fire engine red would come across even marginally okay on TV? The same dude who designed Punjabi Prison 2.0?

2) which one of you motherfuckers is responsible for AJ in WWE being monkey pawed into every single one of his feuds being clusterfuck finish after clusterfuck finish?

[Anybody Thrilla]

I really enjoyed this show. I don't really understand how you throw out a match that has no rules to begin with, but whatever, still fun.

What was Mick Foley even there for? To almost accidentally count to three a few times and be maced?

Becky Lynch was incredible tonight. Love her so much.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Becky Lynch just followed me on Twitter. How'd she know?

[DrA]

I don't see you on her following list, I thought I did for a moment but it was D'Von Dudley.

Guess the first challenger for the belt is gonna be dis diock. Who's booking this?

[Sixx]

How did you get them confused?

[Anybody Thrilla]

You know that my name isn't actually "Anybody Thrilla", right?

[Jordan]

It was a really good WWE show. My favorite match was Hardy/Orton. Really brutal affair that. It was like a combination of two of my favorite cell matches, Lesnar/Taker & Foley/Taker. I loved the simple brutality, the final spot was slightly botched by Orton but still good and forgivable, very memorable to say the least. Hopefully they can make it look better in highlights.

[Jordan]

Obviously Brock is going to Saudi to get his rematch, I wonder if they are going to make it Triple Threat with Strowman? That would be good.

[Shisen Kopf]

That ending was so shitty. So mad at the WWE right now. Gonna boycott WWE until tonight. That'll teach them.

[slik]

I think it was a good ppv overall and one of the stronger B shows in a long time

Not crazy about the ending but we'll see what happens next

Looks like the idea was that Brock coming in would be so huge it would distract people from the non-finish so they could stretch out the feud without committing to anything for another month. Seems it didn't work.

Timeout for Vincey-Poo!!!

[KIRA]

Timeout for Vincey-Poo!!!

I never cease to be amazed that a man in charge of a wrestling company can't conceive of the fact that is audience wants wrestling
It's like he either doesn't observe or doesn't care what happens when Triple H's put in charge versus when he's in charge. A lot of the shows are the equivalent of going to Baskin-Robbins to go get ice cream and being served a veggie burger.

If what's being reported is true about Vince being in charge of the women's Evolution pay-per-view then I'm ready to write it off as a complete failure and when it does fail he'll inevitably blame the performers and never do it again

[Anybody Thrilla]

Apparently, fan signs in support of Becky Lynch were being confiscated. Becky herself retweeted the story about it with the hashtag #iboothewoo

[Anybody Thrilla]

Hmm. On a Saturday? What's going on here?

[#1-norm-fan]

So fucking weird. It goes beyond Vince being out of touch. They're literally ignoring reality. It's bizarre. Makes no sense.

[Anybody Thrilla]

It's one thing to confiscate a "SHIT SMEAR CUM STAIN" sign, but "LET'S GO BECKY"? Fuck outta here.

[#1-norm-fan]

I still stand by the idea that people who really hate the product but can't help themselves from going to live shows really need to just chant something like "SHIT SMEAR CUM STAIN" throughout the show. Booing only allows WWE to use your reactions as a sign you're invested in the characters they're selling. You're doing a disservice. Fuck off.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Not a bad idea. But with so many kids around, you'd probably start to feel like a real shit bag chanting that stuff. They'd probably mute the crowd mics anyway. I know that some people would say "WELL JUST DON'T FUCKING GO", but last night's show was still really good overall, ya know?

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE probably wouldn't care and just mute the crowd or pipe in different chants to drown them out.

Best reaction is to do nothing and be completely indifferent to what WWE is presenting as a product. WWE already got the fans money so the incentive for them to change is already low. Then again doing that would just piss off the wrestlers more and some have lashed out online before whenever they feel a lack of respect is shown.

[Dark One]

I'm usually not one for shock value or whatever, but I'd also cringe at people yelling some shit like that in front of some kids. So let's just compromise and instead of "CM Punk" chants or booing people just chant "BEN-OIT"

Let's see them cover that one up.

If I'm putting myself in this position, I'm already a guy who hates WWE but is giving them money to attend their show despite knowing I'm going to hate the outcome. Fuck it.

[#1-norm-fan]

And as for those kids, maybe their parents will stop letting them go to WWE shows and they can grow out of liking something that is written for dumb, impressionable 5 year olds a little earlier.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think that was a fake Becky Lynch following me, btw. Back to being sad.

Damn, I might watch that match again. Good stuff.

problem is nobody cares about Brock anymore. maybe if he left for a year, not one month

[Lock Jaw]

But maybe it was an Undercover Becky Lynch?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Well damn, I never considered that.

[Innovator]

Maybe she put on the black hair and glasses to follow you...on twitter

[Sixx]

Well damn, I never considered that.

Always take the cockiest explanation into consideration first. Always.
