No words. Paul likes his cuck storylines and this bullshit. Screw RAW too

That was garbage.

Cain Velasquez has arrived :eek:

holy shit

Velasquez's surprise appearance was cool but what a terrible way to make your new champ look.

A champion taken down faster than a challenger from the crowd. I love WWE's disrespect!

Cain Velasquez the new top star in WWE

Lol they went off 3 min early

Poor Kofi.

Guess WWE kept adding zeroes in order to get Velasquez to easily change his mind and sign.

With the lack of matches Sunday he almost has to get a rematch

I don't give a fuck about MMA in the slightest, so Cain does absolutely nothing for me.

I get why they're doing it. But one episode in and I can already tell I'm not going to be interested in the direction they will be taking this show.

Oh well. Fuck it. How many of us are actually gonna watch wrestling on a Friday night regularly

Between Cain and Tyson Fury, its pretty clear that WWE and FOX are desperately trying to get sports viewers on board since no way SD is hitting 3+ million expectations with the current tv fanbase WWE has.

Kofi gets a ton of fan support that drives him to a WWE title match at WrestleMania. Wins the title. Holds it for half a year.

And within 10 seconds, it's like his reign never happened.

I don't know or care who Cain Velasquez is, so that ending was terrible for me.

Dominic > Cain Velasquez

Obvi I'm gonna continue to see where AEW is going on Wednesday nights

Paul and his cuck shit doesn't make me want to watch RAW

Not going to commit to Friday Night Brock

Thursday might be a good night for me to catch up on NXT

Too bad Impact's network ....ah fuck. I just considered watching Impact

The nightly local FOX is recapping Smackdown. ahh

I guess this opens the door to DC joining WWE after he beats Miocic.

I now see where you were coming from. The local FOX channel just spent 20 minutes talking wrestling..during the news.

Only shitty thing about trying to watch NXT on Thursdays is that Hulu only puts up a one hour version. So I’d have to go back to the Network if I wanted to see the whole thing. Ugh.

Supposedly WWE is already considering extending the delay for uploading new episodes to the Network in response to AEW's success this week.

Being speculated that the 1-day delay is hurting more than its helping for NXT's numbers these past 2 weeks and WWE already made it clear they have no problems hurting the Network if it means more tv revenue.

Guess it'll be DVR for me, then.

I’m in the same boat on MMA and Cain. But I’m also all for guys with legit fighting backgrounds. I like Kofi but they HAD to get the title off of him and onto a legit star if they wanna appeal to the mainstream and succeed on Fox. And with the history Brock and Cain have, it SHOULDN’T be difficult to make me care.

Just... build up some fucking homegrown stars for once while this storyline is taking place, Goddammit.

Also, I tuned in just in time for The Rock segment. It was terrible. I can’t imagine potential new fans who tuned in and saw The Rock came out of that segment wanting to see more.

I didn’t catch the show, but I did log onto the Internet and saw a gif of the entire main event.

So I’m pretty glad I didn’t watch.

Oh yeah, hopefully they build something out of Kofi being brave/dumb as fuck, too. While I don’t think he has mass appeal as champion, there were hopefully new viewers who now know him as the guy who Brock took the title of in hilarious fashion. He has a secondary story already that they’d be stupid not to build on in SOME way.

A main event that lasted about 10 seconds, quality wwe.

Maybe when lesnar's contract comes up next time he can negotiate just having Heyman talk the opponent into a pinfall so his "client" has even less to do than he currently does.

Can I just say I'm happy they took the belt off of Kofi and his reign was boring as fuck?

If they didn't take 20 minutes to embarrass Baron Corbin into irrelevance I think having him and Fury would have made more sense since Corbin at least has a boxing background

People are fickle

The title change buried the ENTIRE locker room.

If WWE were a territory, it would be dead right now.

I stayed up until 3am to watch that absolute horseshit.

Virtually the entire midcard and undercard went straight to Twitter after the show to tweet out support for Kofi.

So yeah, pretty clear they all saw this as a massive fuck you.

Would it have hurt to make it a 4 minute match? Just wrong.

I enjoyed the show with the exception of Becky whom I find quite false especially in her ring work. She misses much... She's not a worker, she's a performer trying to be a worker. Same with Shane, just pretending to work, no actual talent in either one of them aside from emmulating.

Rock was great, Corbin made me laugh. Bray was fantastic, Jake Roberts level promo.

Roman and Rowan was eh whatever.

I really like Tyson Fury and never saw that coming so that has my interest for sure.

Main event was shit booking I'd have like to have honered Kofi with some legit offense.


Cain coming in was a shock, I didn't think they would ever pull that off. That match has me very excited. Crown Jewel will finally be a must watch.
