    How does Ziggler keep putting everyone over? He's too talented to be everyone else's stepping stone.

    When will they realize that no one cares about the Miz?


    I think I'm two minutes behind.

    Still surprised Jericho didn't put Wyatt over, Jericho puts EVERYONE over. Glad he got a nod finally though. What are they going to do with Bray?

    Was the fatal four way so predictable that it's not worth a comment? Probably so but I was hoping for a Rollins cash-in even if they were teasing the ambrose fight for next ppv.

    Wyatt and Jericho will continue their feud through Summerslam and possibly NOC as well. Jericho is leaving after NOC so I'm guessing they'll leave him with Wyatt until then. Wyatt probably wins both matches.

    I think it's time for the WWE to pull the plug on Lana and Rusev's Russian gimmicks. Just like they did it with Sgt. Slaughter supporting Iraq and Muhammad Hassan's character.

    They probably will, but I enjoy these more risqué angles.

    Good booking? that was horrible to hype up the match only to delay it till the next PPV. The events they did to "delay" the match, is stuff they do on Raw/Smackdown, not on a "Special Event", since they want to not call it PPVs anymore....

    I don't get it.

    Everyone including the 90 years old grandma of my buddy knows pro-wrestling is fake and staged. Why are you guys still talking about it like it is a real sport?

    Hollywood movies are staged and fake, why do people watch those?

    Some people claim the NBA is staged, why do people still watch basketball?

    TV shows are staged and fake, why do people watch TV?

    It's all about entertainment.

    I understand.

    I watch and talk about movies sometimes too.

    But what puzzles is that people are talking about pro wrestling like it is a real sport when every knows it is fake and the fights are staged.

    I think you will find most adults talk about it like a TV show... They try to predict what will happen next and they like to be surprised. Nobody is pretending its real.

    You know I usually am not interested in any kind of Diva's angle but the inclusion of Steph McMahon in the angle makes it a lot more interesting. She is such a good hell.

    And FloRida? Really?! Ugh, I expect a non crowd reaction

    This was my last post, this is what an knowledgeable wrestling geek talks about:

    "Still surprised Jericho didn't put Wyatt over, Jericho puts EVERYONE over. Glad he got a nod finally though. What are they going to do with Bray?"

    The other thing a knowledgeable fan does is distinguish between a good wrestler and a bad wrestler. Think of it as watching gymnastics, a good fan know when things are executed crisply and who's putting on a good performance.
