I was gonna right an angry post about how fed up I am that ADR keeps on getting pinned all the time, but now I'm laughing my head off after that beatdown on RR. :lol

Kofi's back and he brought pants. Not just any pants. X-Pac's pants.

I just thought Kofi had bought gear ready for his inevitable tag team with Xavier Woods?

More stitches thanks to Brock & Heyman. Bet Punk wishes he had Wolvie's mutant healing factor! :lol

I really enjoyed this show. The Punk/Brock and Bryan/Cena stuff has got me really pumped for the main events. If we leave Summerslam with Punk and Bryan winning both matches I'll wet myself.

Loved the ending to the show with the Shield standing tall. But let me get this straight

 

1. Orton comes out mid show as a babyface with cena and Bryan.

2. Orton RKO's Bryan and makes the inevitable heel turn

3. RKO's Cena moments later to again go babyface

4. Walks out on Cena and Bryan to once again leave a heel.

 

Damn I thought Big Show flip flopped alot sheesh.

 

The Punk/Lesnar/Heyman stuff was great as well.

It's not alignment anymore. It's character development. WWE is moving away from the antiquated face/heel dynamic.
Plus when did RKO-ing Cena, the big babface, mean a heel turn?
And the first RKO on Bryan was because Bryan bumped him out of the ring. It was a decent RAW anyway, the beard shaving was a bit of a drag at the start, and I think the crowd were expected to be shouting a lot more during that and the Cena parts, so they seemed bit dead and those segments seemed forced to me. Nice to see the Shield closing a show and looking cool again though.

I wanted to buy CM Punks' hoodie the second I saw it, then I saw how much the postage costs.

 

Also, WYATT. INFERNO MATCH.

Josh, my 6yr-old, loves Kane, loves Bray Wyatt and loves fire in wrestling (I showed his some flaming table spots and old-school fireballs on YouTube after he asked if the fire was real - he'd been playing an Inferno Match on WWE '13), so he's going to have a cow when he finds out about this.
It's just Or'un being Or'un.

 

Yeah Orton RKO'ing bitches really doesn't mean anything in the long run in terms of allignment. He does what he wants at any given time, like when Austin stunners folks.

 

I have a sneaking suspicion Bryan might win, and then Vince brings out Orton to cash in, especially after Vince being all, "F*ck both these guys."

I am only halfway through the show yet, but F*CK, having Layla back as a heel working ridiculous chickensh*t schtick and bumping like an utter lunatic is the greatest thing in the entire world. If she keeps getting pushed and time to work she should rocket back up the ranks of the company in very short order. So glad to have you back my love.

Check Amazon and Ebay, there's specific sellers on there that specialise in getting the American WWE Merch over here a buttload quicker than WWEEuroShop, and the price isn't bad at all. It's where I got my 2nd City Saviour shirt from for half the price of ordering it with postage from WWEshop.

That's what I've been thinking for the last couple of weeks. Bryan's gonna win, Orton's gonna cash in. Mainly because if they "LOLCENA" their way out of this one it's gonna make Orton and Bryan look like chumps.

The Wyatt Family, the only reason to watch anything WWE puts out. So good.
Also I still have not received my Hoodie from WWESHop been a month now my ebay sell gets it to me within two weeks and the hoodie is now there should have waited.

Out of interest why are you so behind this WWE angle??

Bray Wyatt has the potential to be a hugely over anti-hero act. Being a cult leader, it would be great to see the crowd being won over by him, effectively joining the cult.

He's too good a character not to have succeed. The inferno match should be the beginning of something epic

 

Loved the 6 man and Orton doing what the f**k he wants
