Should be a fun show
Should be solid
Went and picked up dinner at Cracker Barrel with the wife and kiddos and had a guy scream “Your AWWWWFUL” at me. Maybe it had something to do with my Miz shirt?
Leave us your predictions!
Bold Prediction? Best Network special of the year.
Neville Miz Bliss Strowman Lesnar Hardyz Cass
Neville, Miz, Bliss, Strowman, Hardyz, Cass and Lesnar.
Goodness gracious, Great Balls of Fire!
Lol howdy
How’s it going?
Great ready for some balls of fire
Yeah some say it may even be lit!
Well Goodness Gracious the stage looks Great Scrotums Of Fire
???
oh did you check out that trailer I sent you on twitter yet?
Not yet
when you do let me know what you think cause obviously WWE is the best when it comes to promo packages I know but I think the UFC’s recent one really challenges them honestly
You know when the women saw the stage I’m sure they were thinking “Okay why do I have to come out on a stage surrounded by balls that I find on my boyfriend/husband/spouse”
That is photoshopped lol
lol should of stuck with Bad Blood
Joe vs Lesnar will be amazing
I hope it is and if it does turn out to be as amazing as we think it can be then MAYBE WWE could change there minds and do Joe vs Lesnar 2 at SummerSlam instead of Reigns vs Lesnar 2
*fingers crossed*
that’s my hope cause I think this feud right now does have enough steam to warrant one more match at SummerSlam
Vince better do the right thing
but he won’t lol you know it’ll probably be Reigns vs Lesnar cause he wants Reigns to be champ and then do Cena vs Reigns at Mania 34 probably for the title and have Cena break the record there maybe
I could see that happening and having it be title vs career
ya just Vince’s brain sometimes it is such a turnaway that makes me you know as much as I love wrestling still I need my alternatives so you know Vince has lost so much viewership as it is why not keep Joe vs Lesnar going cause fans are obviously watching and are invested so you got something good keep it going
Cruiserweight Title kicks us off! Who ya got?
Neville
Neville but I want Towzawa to win
I love Neville’s intensity when he comes out this turn has rejuvenated his career.
Not just the turn but putting him in the cruiserweight division has helped as well
Agree. I feel weird typing about Cruiserweights without purple font…
Lol
Your thoughts on Tozawa?
Love the stamina monster
He gets it. Watch his mannerisms with Titus and he’s extremely good in the ring. No complaints for Mr. Tozawa
Great sequence right there..
If Neville retains tonight who do you think will dethrone the king of the cruiserweights
How would you guys feel about Titus being the guy who brings Asuka up?
Why not she would be joining Titus Worldwide and Titus could be her mouthpiece
My point exactly. Asuka could bring some real legitimacy to the “brand”.
Hmm I am not sure lol
Titus hyping her up would only be fantastic. Let him run his mouth and her completely destroy people.
That got me.. no lie.
Neville wins
Who will beat Neville now?
Maybe Cedric?
You could go Cedric Alexander OR you could possibly roll with a Johnny Gargano callup HOWEVER I wouldn’t pull the title off Neville anytime soon. He’s establishing this division.
Titus looks like a dad who was late coming from work to his sons baseball game and he is way to aggressive.
When I first heard of the name of the wwe ppv great balls of fire I thought it was a joke then instantly knew this had to be a Vince McMahon idea
lol
Should of stuck with Bad Blood or brought something like Vengeance back
If they want to give us horrible PPV names with AMAZING ppv cards I’m ok with that every time.
Let’s Go!
Here we go!
Anyone else’s nerves shook? Brains rattled?
I can’t say I’m surprised Austin Aires got released he is a great talent but a huge asshole
Better for both sides.
Yeah, Cornette nailed it when he called him a ‘misanthrope’ and ‘miserable human being’.
I think IC title kicks off show… Thoughts?
I’m going with Enzo vs Cass
Maybe open with an Enzo promo… not a bad call.
Here we go
Ok I’m really digging the opening package of the network special
Same
Just saw @InnerN3rd making fun of it on The Twitter maybe I’m just old?
WHOA! I didn’t see this opening the show. My pick for MOTN.
Wyatt vs Rollins kicks us off
Okay that’s a surprise to see Bray and Seth kicking off the show
Looks like Bray and Seth are kicking off the ppv so they get time
If you’ve never experienced a Bray Wyatt entrance live in person its as amazing as it looks.
So true I was marking out on the inside when I witness his entrance live and I marked out loud for Nakamura’s entrance
Awesome yeah. I saw Nakamura at a local show in Cocoa, Fl. However Wyatts entrance at WrestleMania was Uh May Zing.
Bray has now feuded with all three members of the shield
If you arent’ following @WWEDude01 you should he’s tweeting me some awesome in person pics tonight.
Love the early match suicide dive cutoff because Bray is still fresh. Its the little things.
A quiet chat means a match that’s being thoroughly enjoyed. 🙂
Wyatt showing some aggression
Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt are opening a B Network Special. These two guys want to walk backstage and say “Good Luck”
Bray!
You were ahead of me quite a bit on that finish.
2-0 🙂
Me too
Wyatt wins
Good opener
Somebody better update that Win/Loss record thing that was going around earlier today……*bullshit grin*
Will they become Broken tonight
I don’t think Jeff should go broken IMO. He’s a big WWE star as the enigmatic Jeff Hardy.
I thought they would of become broken after Payback
Time for a squash match
I predicted the same in my predictions article BUT I also see a way they do a BS rollup win for Enzo after getting destroyed 99% of the match. I’m sticking to my prediction but I could SO see that especially after back to back opening heels win.
That would kill Cass single run before it even gets started
Meh… I don’t agree with that. If they run that angle Cass will pickup the big squash win at Summerslam on the preshow. I don’t put to much stock in singular finishes if the build helps grow the character. Look at Joe I think he certainly gets beat tonight however I think he’s elevated himself immensely despite the finish because of the build.
good stuff with Bray and Seth nice to see Bray get a PPV win
Will we get Cass’ new heel theme tonight?
Yup
We better
I’ll cry if Enzo wins
I’ll just be sad on the inside and smh
lol
Still can’t believe that they missed the boat with this tag team
I think WWE sees Cass as a big time singles guy
I’m not sure they missed the boat with them however they should have had a NXT title run for sure.
Love Enzo on the mic lol
The greatest talker in WWE history goes to…..ENZO AMORE
Bold statement filled with hyperbole.
New theme!
Thoughts on Cass new heel theme
Mehh lol you?
It’s something that will have to grow on me
I’m digging it.
At least Cass finally has new music
Big Cass gets new music, dig it!
The crowd is firmly behind Enzo which means the feud is working
Enzo’s promos helped
Cass just attempted murder on Enzo.
Love this really getting Cass over as that new monster heel
3-0
3-0. Big Cass vs. Big Show imminent
Would pay money for that match
Luckily for you… you will only have to pay 9.99 and will also get other fantastic matches at Summerslam.
???
HA! anyone else catch the “Big Casshole” sign?
Lol nope
Saw that haha
Whose ready for Dixie Carter’s WWE TV debut?
Iron man match!
seeing Dixie on WWE anything is fucking bizzare
Never thought in my wildest dreams that it would ever happen
Dixie pretty much told Anthem and TNA “You want me gone watch this”
Meh. Its certainly surprising but sounds like she’s well liked by the guys that have worked for her. Never hear anything bad about her the person. Kurt probably vouched for her.
Bo Dallas is the best thing ever in the history of attempting to dress fashionably. Curtis Axel looks like a divorced dad who continues to make bad decisions at work.
???
Bo and Axel look like drop outs from Security Guard school or something. You’d think Miz would be able to afford better security if he was an ‘A-Lister’.
I’m feeling pretty good about my Hardy Boyz pick right now.
You sure? lol
Yup. The money is in the chase 🙂 #GLOW
That was quick lol
Match JUST starting for me.
That was smart by the tag champs
Chances this goes to a draw?
Unlikely
about as unlikely as me dating Scarlett Johansson
Just to make sure I understand where you stand on this… Have you met Ms. Johansson? Have you already slid into Ms. Johansson’s DM’s? 🙂
No and no that’s why I say it’s highly unlikely lol
DELETLE DELETE DELETE
This Sheamus and Cesaro tag team is so good, I don’t think we understand how good they really are together.
I totally agree when I first saw this happen when they were in a best of seven I was like why then we got to the final match and everyone was like let’s do this some more then they were announced as a team everyone saying UGH now look at them two time champs
Not only that but Cesaro is showing fantastic character to go along with his amazing in ring work.
Which is why he should get a singles push and a title run
Pump the brakes lol. He’s great in tag teams for some reason when he goes on a singles run its not as interesting. #UnpopularOpinion lol
Could that just be from a creative standpoint
I’m a weird dude who never blames EVERYTHING on creative it hasn’t always helped him but I don’t think he has stood out as a single. Even with Heyman as a mouthpiece it didn’t click. Not saying he CAN’T get there just not sure he’s there yet.
10 mins in a the champs are up 2 to nothing
Good grief.
2-1 in this ironman match
Enjoying it
This has been a very good match. The first hour of this ppv has certainly delivered.
Agreed
I see a 3-2 or 4-3 score at the end of this Iron Man match
That would be the third 3-2 in the last three ironman match
Great Stat.
The Hardy’s greatest hits will never get old.
I wonder how that will effect Matt’s Con-Dish-On
they might pull a Cleveland Indians and blow a 3-1 lead
They could.
Sami Zayn should sue Cesaro for copyright infringement. “HelluvaKick
lol
3-2
Moonsault from MATT!
We are now all tied up
How are these two guys this good at there age after taking all the bumps they have?
Matt is busted open bad
Cesaro pulling the junk yard dog style save every time is awesome.
That was fun
Matt is gashed open
I did not expect that result honestly
Tag champs retained 4-3 That was a classic
Great finish!
3-1 in predictions
I’m there with you.
awesome match the show is actually really good so far
Do you think Matt’s BROKEN face is ok?
After what just happened with the ironman match do you think Bliss will retain now
I predicted Banks in my post. I’m feeling REALLY good as right now its 4-0 Heels.
I think a face has to win at least one of the matches cause Bray won, Cass won and Sheamus/Cesaro won so either Sasha or Dean is winning I think since the main event is heel vs tweener I guess
Banks, Reigns, Brock.
right I forgot about the ambulance match
Those are my picks along with Miz anyway.
IF Sasha wins what are your guys’s thoughts?
Right call. Bliss has been a bit stale with the title and Banks is super popular.
Don’t mistake that for Bliss hate at all. She’s fantastic however her title reign has been a bit meh post “This is your life” segment.
If they had not ruined Bayley I’d say do Sasha vs Bayley but you know what I see money I think in this Sasha vs Alexa feud continuing plus I heard they have real life heat with each other
I can see that. Alexa and Sasha are the two most complete women on the Raw roster. They should feud and it should be a long feud although wouldn’t be shocked for a Banks, Bliss, Bayley and Jax match at Summerslam.
I’d rather just a Triple Threat, Banks, Nia and Bliss
Who is that jacked ref?
How does Alexa do that
lol No clue
Double jointed???
OMG!
Thoughts on the match so far
This match has been super physical
Which is surprising for a women’s match
Bliss and Banks are brawlers, so it’s not that surprising.
I’ve said it before but I think it has something to do with Sasha and Alexa’s real life heat I think
Glad the women are getting time tonight to tell the whole story
Sasha wins via countout
I guess I’m 4-1 what a fantastic match
rematch for SummerSlam
3-2 in predictions
I picked Banks but to win the title. 4-1
The chemistry these two have is great… possibly special
MY GOODNESS
Alexa’s nose is busted
Good luck following that. That was great I’d argue best so far tonight
Not better than the Tag team match in my opinion
The Miz is my favorite wrestler of this generation has been for a decade. Cool to see him hotter than ever.
He got a huge pop
Axel looks like the public defender provided to Bo Dallas
Loving this crowd tonight
Yeah great crowd
4-2 in predictions
Does anyone else feel bored/underwhelmed or is it just me?
Ya that’s me right now feel like falling asleep but this has also been a great ppv though
Should have had the Ambrose vs Miz match earlier
Should’ve opened show
Not gonna say just you… but I’m extremely entertained. Not a bad match tonight
surprisingly great crowd tonight
Dean deserves better than that.
In the decade he’s been in WWE, I have yet to see Miz win anything clean. Even Rick Rude could win clean once in awhile.
Here we go
Roman sells his ass off. How do ppl hate this guy?
He has improved a ton over the past few years
HOLY SHIT
STROWMAN WON!!! I honestly thought they’d put Reigns over
Reigns ain’t finished with you yet
HOLY FUCK
Murder!
Kurt’s reaction is priceless
Slaters kids will be so proud
That escalated quickly!
That was nuts lol
What did we just witness
Gold
That’s how you make some one look like a monster after getting rammed into a trailer lol
c’mon boys close this out right
Joe just put Brock through the table
There’s 1
I’m disappointed about that match
I enjoyed chatting with all of you as always!
Goodnight everyone
