I'm actually hoping Rollins wins now.

Then he can have a statue...

That Brock F5's and smashes

Paige's face in that photo...WTF?

And why the crap did they use a picture of Undertaker with long hair?

I'm not sure if this belongs in the Takeover thread or this thread, but my thoughts I posted on another board.....

My scrambled thoughts....

--I'm sitting in my lab at work, and was able to watch the entire show. Thank God nobody came in here after the 4 horsewomen hug and saw the tears in my eyes. No chance they would understand. But that was fucking special. There needs to be some way to tie it into tomorrow night though when Sasha is suddenly against PCB. WWE can't expect us to think that these are just alternate universes.

--Owens doesn't need to wrestle tomorrow night. This is fantasy booking at it's finest, but this would blow the damn roof off the place. Owens comes out, cuts a promo on Cesaro that he's not putting himself through a pointless match with NO PRIZE. However, he has a friend that is ready to graduate to the big leagues and is taking his spot. Adam Cole comes out in front of the smart crowd to a ridiculous ovation. Why? Because it'd be a complete surprise, and those don't really happen anymore. Owens helps him cheat to win, and you've planted the very first seed of a feud everybody could get behind. A little later in the show, the Matadores are laid out in the back and unable to compete. The announcers speculate about who will take their place, if anybody. A few minutes later you show Owens talking to Hunter, and shaking his hand (because this has happened before and continuity is fun). The announcers again speculate. Fast forward to the the tag match. The other three teams are in the ring when Owens music hits and he walks out with Cole. The place goes nuts. Owens and Cole, stop, turn around and point back at the entrance ramp to..........

THE YOUNG BUCKS. They win the tag titles, place goes apeshit. And now Mt. Rushmore has reformed and you have yourself one hell of a stable feud against Balor Club (which they hinted at tonight with Cesaro/Neville). Just in time for what? Fucking Survivor Series. And that's how you cater to a fanbase, having everything make sense along the way.Ok, back to reality. Some stupid shit with El Torito happens, and the Prime Time Players retain in front of crickets.That crowd, my God that crowd. I can't wait to read some reactions later tonight. I feel like wrestling just took a complete different turn. We've had great shows, but there's something brewing right now. Wrestling hasn't felt this way in a long time. Tonight feels like a bigger dose of the Nexus Raw. I have a feeling we see The Authority disappear from Raw and Trips goes full on face as he builds NXT up to challenge the main roster. All parties would be better off that way. A face authority figure like Regal or McGuiness that scarcely shows up to promote a match would be a welcome change to the Raw recipe. The heel authority figure has ran its course, and hopefully died tonight.Fuck what a night.

And one more thing. If New Japan and WWE do work out a deal, please God pair Nakamura with Heyman and just take all my money.

Fattyfat Steen grabbed the soda.

I really hope this show starts off with a long talking segment that has no purpose.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #7 on:** August 23, 2015, 07:12:18 PM »

Only Randy Orton's complete disgust with opening a PPV again combined with his insanity can make this entertaining.

KoppoKick · « **Reply #8 on:** August 23, 2015, 07:12:50 PM »

Randy Orton vs. Sheamus is the opener 2 months in a row. Putting it on first tonight will help the smarks from turning on it.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #9 on:** August 23, 2015, 07:17:05 PM »

Hope they don't put the Divas Trios match on before the Main Event, leave the position of death for the IC Title garbage or Ziggler's match.

KoppoKick · « **Reply #10 on:** August 23, 2015, 07:20:02 PM »

Enzo Amore is the most over thing in this match.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #11 on:** August 23, 2015, 07:29:23 PM »

Crowd didn't shit on it, even did some chants. Best outcome possible.

Guess Sheamus won't be cashing in tonight, Vince usually has the guys lose their last match before cashing in to create "the surprise".

KoppoKick · « **Reply #12 on:** August 23, 2015, 07:29:29 PM »

Sheamus put over strong with that finish.

Sheamus put over strong with that finish.

See,if you're gonna hit your finisher and not have it end the match, work out a reason for there not to be a cover. Had Sheamus not fallen out of the ring, Orton could have won that match.

Sin Cara doing the "Lucha" hands is the epitome of apathy.

Prime · « **Reply #15 on:** August 23, 2015, 07:37:27 PM »

I didn't think it was possible for me to dislike New Day any more than I already did, but they made it worse tonight. Unreal.

I found it hilarious, but it was supposed to be "bad".

Prime · « **Reply #17 on:** August 23, 2015, 07:41:44 PM »

The opener combined with that plus Woods not shutting up has made for a horrible start to this PPV.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #18 on:** August 23, 2015, 07:51:50 PM »

How could you dislike New Day? They are amazing. If I were a well off white person with a trust fund and a guilty conscience, I would call you a racist.

Prime · « **Reply #19 on:** August 23, 2015, 08:05:27 PM »

Their gimmick sucks.

KoppoKick · « **Reply #20 on:** August 23, 2015, 08:05:40 PM »

A double count out?!?

Prime · « **Reply #21 on:** August 23, 2015, 08:08:39 PM »

Well we're 3 for 3 in awful matches to start the show. When is the next NXT Takeover?

KoppoKick · « **Reply #22 on:** August 23, 2015, 08:28:52 PM »

Amell did an admirable job in there with 3 real pros.

Neville's second rope 450 was incredible.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #23 on:** August 23, 2015, 08:35:49 PM »

I thought the tag match was pretty good and fast paced. The opener wasn't good because how can it be?

The Stardust match wasn't supposed to be a match but more of a spectacle and it worked fine for what it was. Amell is obviously a fan and did his best, already a better wrestler than Cameron.

Ziggler/Rusev was crap despite both of them being talented. NXT is clearly the superior promotion at this point, or at least the one that works better with what it has. As of now, the only "That was awesome" match I see on this card is Owens/Cesaro with a chance for Cena and Rollins, but that will end in a schmozz, so probably not.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #24 on:** August 23, 2015, 08:42:11 PM »

Okay, we can stop booing Reigns now. He is back to being cool. Don't blame him for the WWE's mistake.
