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.

Don't worry, 56 year old Sting will be the rescuer.

That finish was worse than even the worst finish I could think of. Even TNA is smart enough to have a ref bump before the BS run-in finish.

Yeah, we knew it was coming but it wasn't a finish. I really have no problem with UT ending the match with interference, but Seth just vanished.

Reigns is with Wyatt. UT is with Lesnar. Who is Rollins going to face? Hears awhile back that HHH may fight him, to see if he has what it takes storyline wise. That would actually be a pretty good match with a horrific lead in that takes up all the TV time.

Given that Steph was a babyface last week, we may have Babyface HHH facing Heel Rollins. Because Authority Figures rarely get their comeuppance in WWE cuz MCMAHONS!

Fucking McMahons are like the Lannisters. Now we're supposed to feel BAD for them? Bastards.

BTW, was that a Show face turn? Is that number 34?

I literally have lost count on Big Show turns.

It's one of the more frustrating things about WWE programming. All quake in the presence of the McMahons. Despite Stine Cold getting over by rebelling against Vince.

I'm not saying everybody has to rebel, but hopefully you get the idea. NOBODY has rebelled against The McMahons except... DX... Which had HHH... who is also a McMahon....

I feel like I went back in time 15 years ago. Vince hasn't been on WWE TV in years. Stephanie is better at what she does than 98% of the roster, so who cares who quakes in front of her.

Cm Punk, Daniel Bryan, John Cena, Little Moe with the Gimpy Leg, Boney Bob...Cliff.

CM Punk started to go against them but then bailed. Bryan did for almost a whole year until he won Wrestlemania, but was denied every time before that and would've been dropped had Punk stayed.

Cena went against then, so they got Brock and destroyed him. Damn, even Super Cena got stomped.

It's a storyline that has absolutely run it's course, especially since Summerslam will be the 2 year anniversary with no end in sight. At least they didn't interfere tonight and at least Stephanie has stopped crushing the Divas in front of her for no good reason and started praising them. That always pissed me off.

I was about to say with Bryan The McMahons turned out to be right. He kept getting hurt. Thus they're right that he's a B+ Player.

Yeah but he said no one has rebelled against them when in fact everyone they feud with rebels against them. They don't always come out on top, but that's a different thing.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #61 on:** July 19, 2015, 11:49:50 PM »

True, but as a side note, only Bryan came out on top and that was only because Punk quit and the fans essentially hijacked every show until they did so. Is there an end game or does it just go away like the nWo?

No one has had any real success rebelling at The Mcmahons. Is that better? Remember Punk jobbed to HHH back in 2011.

Stephanie basically came out as a babyface during that NXT reveal... despite on camera the Bellas getting heel heat claiming to be allied with Steph, and Steph wrestling as a heel against a babyface Brie.

And this pretty much tells the story. Who do you book the story for? Those marks in the Kevin Owens shirts are paying anyway. They bought front row seats.

Obviously not for them. The story is being booked for John Cena and to make sure he's still there for whatever reason. He doesn't need to win another match in the WWE, he will still sell merch and he's not going to leave if he loses or doesn't get his way.

Kevin Owens' promo on WWE.com seems like he would cut a promo on Raw saying he's quitting the WWE and going back to the indies. He has nowhere to go at this point -- he lost two matches against Cena and last night's match is pretty much the blow-off match between them.

Paul Heyman is a much better avatar for fatso IWC fans like me to live vicariously through. He's a great talker with no athletic skill, so he gets monsters to fight on his behalf.

He has nowhere to go? He beat Cena as clean as anyone that isn't a superhuman albino gorilla has ever beaten Cena in his first GD match on PPV.

Maybe he just wanted to come up to WWE and do some matches with Cena. Right. He's going to have matches against Cesaro that are going to have you dorks going crazy.

Do you book for the three dozen people who bought John Cena shirts, wrist bands, and hats, or do you book for the two hipsters who bought Kevin Owen t-shirts? Tough call.

Rollins vs Cena. Champ vs Champ. UT gets his win back from Brock. Brock vs. Cena at Mania, Cena finally wins. The internet IMMEDIATELY complains that Cena wasn't giving mid carders a chance with his open challenge, he was holding them down by beating all of them to establish that he's still better than them.

Now you jerks decide to finally listen to me when I said Cena's merch is worth over 100+ million dollars for the WWE. They're not turning him.

Has the thought of Heel Undertaker crossed anyone's mind? I haven't seen it mentioned here in this thread, but it's on Twitter a lot.

Coming to the aid of his brother, bought and paid for by The Authority.

Screwing someone out of a title... heel tactic.
Kick to the balls... heel tactic.
2nd finisher to make sure the babyface stays down... heel tactic.

He looked like a heel to me and that's why I liked it. I didn't like the fact that Seth Rollins (and Mike Chioda) magically disappeared.

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

Well, if they get a bad show.

I mean just cuz I paid $100 for a ticket doesn't mean I'm going to start "Fandango'ing" because Jerry Lawler told me to.
