General WWE Discussion: Roman Weeps, Taker Retires, MNK/SAM/RDM LFP

[ArchDizzle]

Saw Apollo Crews on NXT never watched him from his previous stuff, I am impressed hes got some explosive shit.

Reason for Tanner's salt:

During an appearance on The Two Man Power Trip Wrestling podcast, former WWE Tough Enough contestant Tanner Sacraceno talked about while he has heat with ZZ. Here's what he said:

“That was actually sparked by a message I received from ZZ. Upon returning back home. I don’t have a lot of money, I have to work for everything I have so I am in the process of trying to set myself up to be able to train and support myself financially as well so coming back home so I went to an (MMA) fight and the promoter promoted me a bit because he had a lot of WWE fans there and I went to another fight this past Saturday night and I think that is why ZZ said what he said. ZZ said to me in a message I thought that you really wanted to do this (wrestling) and the first thing you do is go back home and you are back into your MMA world. I took that very offensively, coming from him. In my opinion he doesn’t understand the struggles I have to go through financially and that I make money off this. This is how I pay my rent and utilities. I think ZZ being so young he may not understand to struggle financially, I’m pretty sure his parents are paying for all of his stuff, he’s 19 he’s probably still living at home. I felt the need to expose the lies that he was claiming that he was eating healthier and he is eating better and manipulating the crowd and there he is. We go out to eat healthy and he walks over to Burger King. Don’t call me out on making a living for myself while you are doing your own thing and manipulating the world.”

Can't blame him if true.

From Wrestling Observer

Regarding Monday's Miz TV segment with Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Paige, the segment was botched as the whole idea was to show tension between the three Divas and do a subtle tease of breaking them up as they all want a title shot against WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella.

Can Charlotte, Becky, Paige, and Sasha go back to NXT yet?

[Tyrath]

Hey I'd rather they break up and feud against each other than have this dumb 3 vs 3 vs 3 feud.

[Trigun]

[Anoat]

I'm not sure how it can be considered a botch if they all read what was written for them to say...? That would be the writer's fault, not them. Unless they went out there and went totally off script.

[Vagrant]

There had to be a screw up backstage somewhere. Even at SS Stephanie said to the winning team would go the spoils. Yet nothing came of that. What should have happened on Raw is Stephanie should have came out and said that since team PCB won the three of them would be granted Divas title matches over the course of the next three weeks. Can cause a bit of dissension there immediately with who gets the first shot and then what happens even more if say Paige knocks off Nikki for the title with a week to go and has to defend the title against Charlotte or Becky. But instead they do nothing with the comments from Stephanie and just book a terrible MizTV segment.

Oh and Sasha just needs to turn on Naomi, Tamina and dump the two of them to go on her own.

[Kalmado]

Just tuned into NXT. A drinking game could be played with how many times Dana Brooke says, "That's what I thought" lol......

[arus2001]

Is it cause they are black?

The stereotypes they play on.

[Vil]

Lance Storm Q&A on his site has a lengthy critique of the "Divas Revolution".

http://www.stormwrestling.com/082715.html

Hard to disagree with pretty much anything he said about it there.

[Tyrath]

Random fun fact: SummerSlam timekeeper is the Shockmaster’s son

[Krandor]

WWE removed New Days parody of "Empire State of Mind" from the Network version of Summerslam.

[Anoat]

Copyright laws are booty, yes I said they are booty.

[tyven]

lol @ your av krandor. so good

[Anoat]

So RAW this Monday is from Tampa and Smackdown is in Miami, which puts both potentially at the mercy of TS/Hurricane Erika. Something to keep an eye on.

[Krandor]

lol @ your av krandor. so good

I wondered when someone would catch it.

[Tyrath]

Now that someone pointed it out I see it lol

[Anoat]

Roman Reigns confirms (kind of) that Dean Ambrose is, indeed, the Titty Master.

[Vagrant]

WWE confirmed a beat the clock challenge for Monday night with Team PCB to determine the #1 contender to Nikki probably for Night of Champions
