    Um... that combination of gifs may have been slightly more erotic than I initially intended...

    First of many gifs contributions from me.

    That Twitter account is pretty great for pro wrestling gifs.

    Ok, time to bring out the Mememan:

    Why is Baron Corbin at least a foot taller than Angle?
    Did Kurt shrink?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,278 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    They just repurposed the shítty Bryan/Cass "I don't like small people" feud for Balor/Corbin. It's terrible.

    They've already fought, match has no place on the second biggest show of the year.

    They’ve fought twice. It’s an epic waste of Balor. Why Vince doesn’t rate him is beyond me.

    Ugh, I'm not terribly gone on this CW match or anything but the packages playing in the middle of it really take your interest off the match. That and I'm already tired :pac:

    I started too strong!

    I like Balor but I think his finisher really undermines him as a wrestler, it's weak.

    The coup de grace is honestly a garbage finisher, IMO.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 54,318 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Botchy enough finish that. Meh.

    Yea that match did nothing for me. I’ve no hopes for the Raw tag match either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,359 ✭✭✭happyoutscan


    Watched 10 minutes of the pre-show and have to say Ive given up. The product is broken.

    Injury completed killed his buzz. He was Raw's no.1 draft pick, beat Roman clean on his first night, the Demon was super over, first ever Universal champ.....but got injured.

    Vince probably trust him to be a big guy again. Plus he is awful on the mic.

    Having the b team as a joke is just damaging the raw tag titles. I wish the bar were back on Raw. They deserve more.

    Well how much higher could you raise them on RAW?

    :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,278 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    They were funny for literally one week and as with anything funny, WWE drove it into the ground.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,611 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Good to see the King back

    Black Swan, I think.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,628 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Preshow wasn't great. Hope the main show is better, though I don't have high hopes.
    It is the first time in a while where I couldn't tell you who would win most of the matches, so that means could be surprises.

    And on that note, I'm out. Enjoy the show anyone sitting up. Will check in sometime tomorrow night after I get a chance to watch. (Before Sharknado 6, I decided. :))

    Aren't those the same titles that a 10 year old kid won at wrestlemania and vacated the next night. I'd say waaaay more damage was done there :pac:

    IC Title up first...looks like Rollins borrowed some gear from The New Day


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,220 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    Haha (@ Simpsons pic)
    It does look like they are trying to make rhonda look more "attractive" - thing is tho she is already a very attractive woman. But they're all barbie dolls in wwe with their fake tans, hair extensions and what not. So I do believe that's why they are adding a bit more make up to her.

    This is what came to mind for me when I saw Rollins gear

    Now that I've seen the whole thing he has the Infinity Gauntlet on his leg :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,611 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Irish in the few first rows

    Anyone know Joe and dad Mcevoy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_

    The WWE Roster will be perfectly balanced once he stomps whoever steps before him.

    Blood


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 25,623 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Well that was decent!


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 54,318 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Great match tbf. Right payoff too. Jesus though that inverted superplex made me cringe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,611 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Knew no heel turn for Ambrose but he could easily show up and the help/cost the other shield brother ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,532 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    So the Bellas are front row for the Ronda match. And that’s how Alexa retains I’m guessing. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,278 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    So Bellas cost Rousey the title. Ronda/Nikki at Evolution.

    Bleh.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 54,318 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Please don't be ridiculously obvious WWE and have the Bellas cost Ronda the title. Please.

    Also... why are The Bar not in this match? Instead we get New Day VS Bludgeon Bros version 2000.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_




  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 54,318 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Bleugh. That was actually decent... and then they WWE'd the ending.

    Yep. It's a thing.

    New word for 'totally fcuking shat on'.

    WWE'd.
