Nakamura ever going to take off without the microphone skills?

I think so.

Pushing Breezango is even more baffling than the Jinder Mahal push.

At least to me

I don't find them to be entertaining at all, personally.

Anyone watch the WWE 24 on Finn Balor? Really good. Makes me like the guy even more. Would be a real shame if he lost to a one armed roman reigns the night it aired though.

Just watched some highlights from last night.

1. Did one-armed Roman really beat Balor clean?

2. Wtf is a kendo stick on a pole match?

It was clean. I have no problem with Roman winning. To me it just means he isn't winning at extreme rules.

I was wondering about that match too. I guess the first one to get it off the pole and use it will win?

WCW used to love doing "on a pole" matches...Pinata on a Pole, Viagra on a Pole, Judy Bagwell on a Pole, etc...

It is basically the first person the retrieve it wins...then I'm guessing they get to use it on the loser...or maybe they have to use it to win...I didn't see much of last night's Raw

Who is in the kendo stick on a pole match?

Alexa Bliss and Bayley

Is backlash this sunday?

Yeah

Anyone watch Takeover? UK championship is match of the year by far. Also....

Ciampa turning on Gargano made me so sad. On the same level as the shield breaking up.

Takeover was incredible. You would think what NXT is able to do on the eve of a PPV that the WWE would be able to step up their game the next time. Tonight's Backlash probably has the worst build up to it than any other SDL PPV in its short history.

I totally agree with this. I'm only tuning in to see what they do with Shinsuke. But then again I'm in the category of people that think Smackdown is absolutely terrible.

I still think Smackdown has been much better than Raw.

At least Smackdown tries to make new stars instead of always making it the same people (Braun Strowman is the exception)

Smackdown got screwed in initial draft and still produced a better product last year.

The superstar shakeup ****ed em over even more so it'll be interesting to see how they do over the next few months

I disagree. I feel like every time I watch Smackdown it's the same ol' matches but even worse just terrible talent for the most part. I mean, who wants to watch the Usos try to act like West Coast gangsters?

I could go on and on but each to their own of course. For me at least, RAW has the people I like to watch. Rollins, Braun, The Miz, Balor, etc.

I also can't even get the WWE network to play on my PS4 right now so I hope I'm not missing much. Anybody else getting an "ERROR cannot play video at this time. Please try again later." message?

The Miz should have stayed on Smackdown and become their champ at some point this year. Him being taken off was a mistake.

Rollins has just been a Randy Orton type face that has been saved by Samoa Joe being badass.

Balor has been good, but it's still too early to tell since he came back.

I have always been one of the ppl that thought Raw was too predictable with who they kept on top (Roman being shoved down our throats for 2+ years). That is one of the big things that I like about Smackdown right now is that they've built guys. I honestly love Jinder and Breezango getting shots

Opening with Nakamura? Wtf?

Just now watching nxt. The DIY /AoP match was one of the best booked matches the company has done.

Why the hell can't Raw and Smackdown get that same soul into their talent? So well executed.

Great opening match. Ziggler was a great first rival for Nakamura

That was a pretty great match. I admittedly don't watch NXT (seems like I'm missing out) so that was my first time watching Shinsuke.

But to your point, the entire PPV is built around his debut and you lead off with it? TV 101 is to keep the people waiting. Very strange.

Excuse my ignorance but what is DIY/AoP match?

And good lord I am about to tap out from Tyler Breeze and Fandago vs the Usos. Literally kryptonite.

Tag team ladder match last night between DIY and the authors of pain, which ended up being the headliner.

Nice I'll have to go back and watch it.

Watch it all the way through to the end of the ppv. It's the last match.

So Tyler Breeze went from having Summer Rae as his little sex kitten into being a janitor. Ouch.

Fandango had Summer Rae

But GD it these guys are hilarious

Never really cared for breezango but that match was a lot of fun. JBL was hilarious. Wanted them to win

Anyone else think Sami zayn looks just like Jonathan lucroy?

Breezango the next New Day?
