yo is miz fucking wasted? This is the must rambling incoherent promo Ive ever heard him cut I think.

That is a newer thing they started doing with heels. Becky is always stuttering and/or repeating the same word. Seth too. I think they figured if the heels stutter and repeat themselves the promos last longer and they (Vince/writers) dont have to work as hard.

Brock already front and center in the graphic

uhg ricochet broke Hollands nose accidentally.

Lol, the commentators trying to spin what was clearly meant to be a leg drop into a spinning knee like thats what he intended..:roll:

lmfao what was that about someone vomitting up ryan seacrest?

That injury resulted in Cesaro looking like he got ultra buried here. Nice rub for Sheamus though.

Im not sure if it was overspin on a legdrop or if he underspun what was supposed to be a splash.

Belt the Brock

Looked like a legdrop to me considering where his legs ended up.

Hold up....if Roman tested positive how are the Usos not quarantined? Seems reckless to not hold them out too at least considering their close proximity to the tribal chief at all times. Will be interesting to see if Heyman has anything to do with the fatal 5-way.

lmfao did he just call COVID "The Big Homie-omie"?

Pat McAfee's become one fucked up human being since joining WWE.

Case closed, Seph.

=P

Fun tag match. Big Homie Omi the star of the show.

Now imagine if instead of apologizing, Ricochet instead gets a bunch of his friends to tweet how he has always been safe with them in the ring :lol:

Jesus… I love Big E and he deserves better. Really hope he retains.

Was Brock gonna beat Roman tonight? If not, why would he get thrown into this 5-way to win the belt? They could just move Brock vs Roman to Royal Rumble.


Am i making to much sense?

drew not coming across as someone who should face reigns or lesnar

Cesaro and Ricochet was actually kind of a team in my brain last week. Not sure whether tonight did them favors, but ideally they’d be good outside promos.

Brock should win the title tonight. I don’t know how they change his match and don’t do this.

I'm not sure fans will boo Orton when he inevitiably turns on Riddle. He's at the point in his career where the crowd just wants to cheer for him.

street profits working like they are turning heel soon

good rko

On a serious note, researching the links between cancer and COVID makes me concerned for Reigns. I hope he’s okay.

I’m not entirely convinced Orton will be the one who turns. Riddle seems like the natural babyface in the equation, but it’s so…predictable. And I think there’s a ceiling on stoner Riddle as a face. I can see him being the asshole and becoming an obnoxious version of himself to get him into main events.

I say becoming obnoxious. I can see them leaning into that as a heel trait. Maybe he picks up Alpha Academy as stooges? I dunno. I can see him turning heel and being let loose in that way. Riddle could use the “change.” Orton is going to be Orton no matter what.

random superstar video packages to fill time

Orton should not be the one turning

Farmer Brock is great

Match - Backstage Segment - Video Package - Commercial - Backstage Segment - Commercials - Commentators - Match

I say all that stuff while only loosely following the product, lol. But I think heel Riddle is just more…interesting. Plus, since he keeps putting his foot in his mouth and a lot of the top guys (who happen to be babyfaces) don’t want to work with him, being a heel means he can get his ass kicked and it’s supposed to be the desirable outcome. As a face, you’ve got to push him, otherwise it looks bad on you.

Jerkass Riddle is evergreen heel. You keep him in place that way. Much harder to treat him like a face on the cusp of something.
