Fast forward a lot of summerslam, they jobbed out Bianca. 😕 Goldberg has been an embarrassment for a decade now. Not overly keen on Lesnar coming back but Heyman makes it interesting.
Takeover was class. Dragunov v Walter delivered, Cole v O'Reilly was as expected, I think Cole is down with NXT now. Great to see Joe back, just wish they had a proper crowd back, although some of the chants wouldn't have been WWE approved! 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah fuck the Becky Lynch segment, ok they had to call an audible because Banksc wasn't cleared to go, but a Lynch squash of Belair was the wrong thing to do. Have a triple threat where Becky pins Carmella, or a proper 15 minute showcase that doesn't make Bianca look like an absolute chump.
Always the WWE way though, throw away storylines and people's momentum for a "moment" that they then fuck up down the line anyway

Absolutely. They're selling out nfl stadiums and most posters on here loved the show so i guess there's some reason beyond my intelligence for not having Carmella job for Becky. 😕
I think two rumbles in one show is a bit much. Women's one should be after mania with the winner main eventing summerslam. Becky would have been a great surprise if available.
RAW Did its second highest number of the year yesterday, bigger than the show after mania. Still on just over 2 million though.
I wonder how many peopled tuned in to see CM PUNK?
On Raw? 🤨
Rampage got 1.13 million.
We know that...... I honestly wonder how many casual fans heard he was back and assumed it was in the WWE?
I used to watch RAW religiously and smack down almost every week. I haven't sat through a whole episode apart from the fox premier of smack down and the RAW 1000th show (or what ever it was) in over 5 years. Its completely unwatchable.
So the answer to my on Raw question was yes. 🤷🏻♂️ Ratings were up 700k from last week so probably a lot!
3 hours is a major problem but the tv executives wanted 3 hours and have paid WWE ridiculous amounts for it. I wonder if they're also Goldberg fans?
One of the other problems is no one can disappear now. Even if someone exclusively worked for New Japan for a year you would know about it and be able to watch it.
Even Cena now, you know where he has gone, why he has gone and probably know that he will be back by March.
Everyone is so over exposed. Its one of the reasons Punk's return is so big.
I expect AEW ratings to go through the roof in coming weeks, especially with the impending arrival of Daniel Bryan & possibly Bray Wyatt, as well as CM Punk

Don't you mean The American Dragon, Bryan Danielson and Windham Rotunda?
(He should wrestle under his real name, it's already zany enough, or have a name inspired by his Dad and Grandfather, Blackjack Schyster perhaps?)

The fact his name is that of former WWF tag team champions and he couldn't use it is hilarious. I always fancied the moniker of Billington Smith as my ring name 😂😂
Wyatt/Rotunda was at Rampage so it's likely. I guess he was named after Barry Windham? I think he wants to distance himself from his shoot family which is interesting when you consider the original Wyatt gimmick.

Danielson v Omega is quite the dream match.
Barry and Kendal are is his uncles, his mother's brothers.

See I'd want to be VKM's next big (fat) thing, standing at 6'7" 400+ pounds, hailing from London, England....
"Whopper" Williams!!!!!
Doesn't matter that I'm actually 6'1" and 200 pounds, they billed Big Cass and Kane as 7 footers and neither are
Crowd were doing the yes chant during the Punk promo last night, he told them to be patient on that one!
Funny how they built Christian as the big signing before recent events. 😃
Yeah just seen a clip of that. It's great to have Punk back cutting promos .
That's the thing with signing CM PUNK, he doesn't even need to wrestle. Just give him a Mic every week & let him talk for 10 minutes!!
Punk is money Punk is ratings
It's funny how good it is when someone who knows what they are doing does an unscripted promo.
The problem is most of them don't know what they are doing or have it scripted. Some times both.
The best thing in the first few months of Dynamite was a Cody promo, the best segment on WWFs main roster recently was just Cena and Reigns talking. Not that hard really is it....

And started one of the best play by play careers :-)
RIP Gino. Just find someone you love like Bobby loved Gino

Big Ron Simmons "gladiator" vibes
Looks like Unabomb (Glenn Jacobs) from SMW.

I expect the Dynamite number to be above 1.1m though, now EVERYONE knows that CM Punk is All Elite

And someone else nicked it. Partly because Vince wouldn't pay for the licence for eye of the tiger.

Obviously he says it better than I did
29 years ago today....
That makes me feel old.
