Hot women who can wrestle and cut promos. Not really sure why Vince doesn't see money in that.

Okay ladies, slow it down for Brie. She has improved and she's trying, but she's not on your level.

Zandrax · « **Reply #28 on:** July 19, 2015, 09:31:25 PM »

That Paige/Charlotte/Becky skit was more prewritten drivel. This is what people are forgetting when they get in this euphoria about these people now on the main roster. They're auras are going to change.

We're not going to get 15 minute Becky/Charlotte matches. We're going to get the same matches with The Bellas, Naomi, Tamina, and Alica Fox. The opponents will just be different.

I'll judge that as it happens. They have a great chance to do something awesome here but as we keep saying, they have to execute. But I'll gladly give them the chance.

Charlotte wins after submitting Brie with the Figure 8.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #30 on:** July 19, 2015, 09:45:19 PM »

That was pretty good, although it was slowed down by adding Brie.

Zandrax is right though, no guarantee they don't all get Summer Rae'd and basically have their characters be about who they are currently fucking.

Owens vs Cena up now.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #32 on:** July 19, 2015, 09:47:12 PM »

Great crowd tonight, I will never fail to be shocked when people spend $100 on a ticket to sit on their fucking hands.

I honestly have no idea what will happen in this match. Ii would lean toward Cena retaining or Owens cheating to win, but John has been very generous lately so who knows? Should be a great match either way.

Prime · « **Reply #33 on:** July 19, 2015, 09:48:36 PM »

I think since Owens dropped the NXT title he'll be winning tonight.

Zandrax · « **Reply #34 on:** July 19, 2015, 09:53:31 PM »

If Cena wins them bloggers will be PISSED!

It could mean nothing, but NXT has been taped for the next four weeks, and Owens wasn't carrying any belt.

Owens finally submits to the STF!

For those that care about that kind of thing, I counted 13 kick outs/escapes of significant/signature/finishing moves...

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #37 on:** July 19, 2015, 10:14:41 PM »

Excellent match, Owens looks good in defeat.

I just worry that Summerslam is around the corner and I don't know what Owens will be doing. Round 4 with Cena? Don't know what he will be doing either. Cage match or some shit?

The Ryback is out with a staph infection in his knee.

KoppoKick · « **Reply #39 on:** July 19, 2015, 10:21:07 PM »

Has anybody kicked out of the AA from the middle rope prior to tonight?

Trying to remember the last time I saw Owens submit...

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #40 on:** July 19, 2015, 10:23:30 PM »

Don't think anyone has. It's essentially the Burning Hammer for the WWE.

Prime · « **Reply #41 on:** July 19, 2015, 10:27:50 PM »

Main event... Champ comes out first.

KoppoKick · « **Reply #42 on:** July 19, 2015, 10:28:08 PM »

Champion out first

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #43 on:** July 19, 2015, 10:29:00 PM »

Rollins is great, it's just that his booking pretty much means the anticipation for his matches is all about what nonsense will occur for him to retain as opposed to will he win on his own.

Highly doubt Brock wins. Big rumors that UT is coming back for a Summerslam match and it will be against Lesnar. So, he might make an appearance and cause a distraction rollup.

P.S. Champ out first, you bastards.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #44 on:** July 19, 2015, 10:38:32 PM »

That was fucking terrifying seeing Brock hurdle that barricade.

He kicked out of a total of three AAs, one from the middle rope.

But I'm already seeing feedback online of people upset that he tapped out.

Fucking marks...

Can they telegraph any more that Rollins is retaining? They're driving it home to death that Rollins has no chance and Brock is unbeaten for 2 and a half years.

And here's Taker with a nut shot and a chokeslam and a tombstone. They keep ruining main events.

Prime · « **Reply #48 on:** July 19, 2015, 10:45:49 PM »

What the fuck is this with non finishes to main events? The ref is standing on the outside of the ring while Taker dismantles Brock, and now his music hits and he's walking out of the ring. No bell, no Rollins to scurry in for the pin? WTF?

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #49 on:** July 19, 2015, 10:49:29 PM »

It's not Rollins fault, they just refuse to let him beat anyone cleanly. He beat Ambrose in a ladder match by a fingertip, that's it.

It was cool to see UT, but I would've preferred a nonsense 3 count for Rollins, just to have some type of ending. They didn't announce it as No DQ though, so it wouldn't have worked.

Can Taker handle another Lesnar match? The guy is very physical and really hurt him during their last match.
