The absolute fucking madman.

Especially since the first thing Okada did after the elbow drop was try to establish wrist control on that arm. And then wrestled another 15 minutes. Jesus Christ

That is not a fracture.

Because it isn't a third belt.

Seth Rollins has the third belt, aka the consolation prize

The prize for the bloke that's actually gonna be there and put in a shift.

Kinda figured, which is awesome.

NC doesn't get many good ppvs, except Survivor Series 2001 as far as I know.

My current area of living was home of the infamous December 2 Dismember though

Also no confirmation that Cody/Dom closes the show.

WWE is supposedly advertising a triple-main-event like they did NoC and also putting in Rollins/Balor and the Bloodline Civil War as main events

Stupid computer's acting up! Would pick *now* to do!

If Paul wins MITB he is gonna cash in immediately I think

What a tease that was at the end

Missed half of it due to sucky stream.

Update to the made up titles!

WWE's The Man: Roman Reigns
AEW's The Man: CM Punk
Interim Man title carried over from 3rd WWE iteration: Adam Cole
WWE's The Man, Ladies Edition: Rhea Ripley
Custody of Dominik Mysterio: Jey Uso

Was a good night, stream be damned.

The Women had the superior MITB and that Main Event was great.

Other title updates...

Austin Theory currently has the 17th longest US reign of all time at 215 days. In 9 days he can pass Blackjack Mulligan, Benoit, and Miz.

Gunther passes Don Muraco for 4th place on the IC list. Up next is Randy Savage.

Main event was great

I loved the thing where Roman made a blind tag and Jey threw Solo out of the ring - it looked like they were doing the "he doesn't know the tag was made" spot but Jey was totally aware.

An interesting fact from 411: The following, regardless of pinfall/submission/DQ/etc, are undefeated against John Cena

Mikey Henderson
Shark Boy
David Flair
Mark Jindrak
Nova
Tommy Dreamer
Matt Hardy
Kenny Bolin
Lance Storm
Scott Steiner
Frankie Kazarian
Kevin Federline
Adrian Neville
Shinsuke Nakamura
Roman Reigns
Austin Theory

Yes.

Up

With no confirmations yet, the ideal Summerslam card...

Reigns vs Jey
Rollins vs Balor
Brock vs Cody
Gunther vs McIntyre
Baszler vs Rousey
Becky vs Trish
Bianca vs Asuka vs Charlotte
Ricochet vs Logan

Mantaur passed away at 55

Didn't know he was young af during his WWF run

Re: Becky/Trish: Someone would have to be a ringside to keep Stark in check to even things up.

For those who haven't seen my post in the Dumbest Moments in Children's television...

While only for a select fanbase here, I'm contemplating compiling a list of dumb events/angles/decisions in the last 25 years of pro wrestling

Note the following:
- I chose 25 years because 1998 was when I started paying attention to pro wrestling
- Most of this list will be events from WWE or WCW. TNA will get some entries too once I do further research, and trust me, it deserves that.
- No bias on the list. Sure, I may have not liked Cena being invincible in 2007, but he was the company's biggest draw in that period.
- I can't say I watch any AEW to know what is dumb in that company.

Well that's certainly one pair of Women's tag champs...

The Women's title streak continues. Since 2006, the following won their first Women's title (singles OR tag)...

2006 - Mickie James
2007 - Melina, Candice Michelle, Beth Phoenix
2008 - Michelle McCool, Maryse
2009 - Jillian Hall
2010 - Layla, Eve Torres, Natalya, Alicia Fox
2011 - Brie Bella, Kelly Kelly
2012 - Nikki Bella
2013 - Kaitlyn, AJ Lee
2014 - Paige
2015 - Charlotte Flair
2016 - Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss
2017 - Naomi, Bayley
2018 - Nia Jax, Ronda Rousey, Carmella, Asuka
2019 - Billie Kay, Peyton Royce, Kairi Sane, Nikki Cross
2020 - Shayna Baszler
2021 - Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Tamina
2022 - Aliyah, Raquel Rodriguez, Liv Morgan
2023 - Chelsea Green, Sonya Deville

Ex
Con
DOM

That is all.

That's Dirty Dom to you sir lol

With only 3 shows left, SummerSlam is shaping up nicely

Reigns vs Jey in Tribal Combat for the Undisputed title
Rollins vs Balor for the WHC
Cody vs Brock
Asuka vs Charlotte vs Belair for the WWE Women's title
Gunther vs McIntyre for the IC title
Ricochet vs Logan Paul
Rousey vs Baszler

Summerslam battle royal added to the card

Austin Theory to defend the US title against Santos Escobar on SmackDown in 2 weeks.

Man... imagine having wins over John Cena, Edge, Rey Mysterio, Jey Uso, Bobby Lashley, Sheamus, and Seth Rollins (ALL either Hall of Famers or future Hall of Famers) and still having a mid reign.

Mid reign for a mid performer

Can't argue with that.

Somehow, he has the 8th longest US title reign in history. The only ones with longer runs are...

Luger
Rude
Ambrose
MVP
Koloff
Windham
Flair

Ugh, "mid"

But yeah Theory's reign has been "Beige".

Theory could still retain against Escobar, but considering the status of the US title, them putting the belt on Santos wouldn't surprise me at all.

Very few US title runs in the past decade have been above average

Anything noteworthy happened since the last PLE? I assume not.

Not much really noteworthy.
- Reigns and Jey will probably headline SummerSlam, with both the belt(s) and Tribal Chief title on the line
- Seth and Balor still at it for the WHC, now featuring a MITB Priest teasing cash-in
- Brock vs Cody angle has literally been Brock murdering Cody every Monday

LA Knight opening Smackdown got a pop out of me

pretty much all my wrestlefriends and wrestlefamily back in Michigan will be at Summerslam tomorrow

Sadly I'm stuck in Texas and flying is just too expensive these days

if cody had been champ or challenging i would have gone

sadly he is not so no summerslam for me

I know of at least 4-5 people that will be at the show. I would've gone myself since I live in Michigan as well buuuuuut I just paid off my Wrestlemania 40 ticket and didn't want to spend any more money on wrestling tickets >_>

I'll never call it a PLE

Final card:
Reigns vs Jey in Tribal Combat for the Undisputed title
Rollins vs Balor for the WHC
Cody vs Brock
Asuka vs Charlotte vs Belair for the WWE Women's title
Gunther vs McIntyre for the IC title
Ricochet vs Logan Paul
Rousey vs Baszler
Summerslam Battle Royal

My predictions...
Reigns - Still think Roman's run lasts until either Mania or until he passes Hogan
Rollins retains, Priest cash-in gets stopped by Balor before it can happen
Cody - Brock's spent all month destroying Cody in preparation for the rubber match; this seems natural to finally end the feud
Wild pick: Iyo Sky successfully cashes in on Asuka while Charlotte and Belair brawl with each other
Gunther - He breaking Honky Tonk's record
Logan - I want Ricochet to win, but Logan's gone a full year without winning; he's likely getting the dub here
Baszler - Ronda puts her over on her way out
LA Knight - He'll win something one of these days

Should I be surprised theres no match for Ripley?

wwe is very good at not capitalizing on organically hot acts, so it's not a shock but still extremely silly
