Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted July 18, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 18, 2018 Psycho-heel Orton is great. I'm over-fussed about a feud with Hardy, after all they literally did this about a decade ago, but it could still open up some decent possibilities. Looks like they're pulling the trigger on the Miz/Bryan rivalry again. Exciting times.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he was against AJ Styles, but if they wanted to build him up at all, they wouldn't have put him in a match he had to lose so soon, would they? From the sounds of it he hit his finisher, which AJ kicked out of, and then he tapped out to the Calf Crusher. So we've already seen he can't beat the top guys. He's already a loser unless he's against nobodies like Sin Cara. Or was it presented in a way where he still looked good? Almas had a good, competitive match with Styles and I don't remember Almas hitting his finisher. Almas will get more out of losing to Styles in a competitive match (if it is a one-off loss) than he would get from beating Sin Cara. Do we think they are going to book Styles vs. Joe at Summerslam, since neither of them are doing much else worthwhile at the moment? Styles/Joe, Bryan/Miz, Nakamura/Orton/Hardy, Carmella/Lynch(or Charlotte) and Bludgeon Brothers/New Day/Sanity does't sound like a bad set of matches for the Smackdown side of Summerslam.

The King of Old School Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 After a couple of months with Joe I could see AJ/Orton taking us through the rest of the year. Still find it crazy that they can't find room for Cesaro/Sheamus on the show. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Sheamus is off resting up an injury isn’t he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Old School Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I've no idea to be honest. I thought I read somewhere that they were still doing house shows but "creative" had nothing for them at the moment. Still, I'm sure that Cesaro could still be used if that's the case, he's too good just to be sitting on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Ah right. I’d read somewhere that he was carrying some niggling injuries, nothing that needs surgery or anything, so figured he’d been given some time off. Shame because I really like him and Cesaro as a team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really struggled to watch Orton pulling on Jeff's ears. Looked really painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted July 18, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 18, 2018 Some good stuff on the show. The Orton battering was great. Nakamura's delivery of "God bless America" was wonderful. Miz'a eulogy and bryan chucking around "security" was fun. Almas/Styles looked very competitive. Nice to see Joe and Becky on the way up. Thumbs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambulance Chaser Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 God I love watching Almas. Whatever the 'best' wrestler in the world actually means, in my opinion he is right up there. Incredibly smooth, faultless. Really enjoyed this show, decent matches and Orton was actually not shit, I just want him to do something different, anything, change the gear, music, just something.

The division isn't piss weak enough that they have to resort to this tired bollocks. There are ways to tell Becky's story without the last roadblock before Carmella being fucking Carmella.

The King Of Swing Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 They may as well just feed Asuka to Lynch, to set up the title match. Not like she needs protecting anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have two triple threat matches. The winners face off to be number one contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
