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

[Kalmado]

Just watched Lesnar vs. Rollins vs. Cena again and jesus what a match. We all know it was incredible match, but man was Lesnar incredible shape. Some things I noticed while watching again...

Mike Chioda looked terrified to take the belt from Brock.
Cena did a super sloppy Michinoku Driver.
Brock had a beautiful F5 counter to Rollins doing a springboard something.
Paul Heyman is simply the best manager ever, period.
Brock took 3 AA's and a Curb Stomp. Impressive.
Lawler was still a terrible Cena dicksucker.
Definitely Rollins coming out party as a true main eventer. Elbow from the top to Brock on the table was bananas.
JBL per usual sounds like an idiot.
Cena with a beautiful sit down powerbomb on Rollins.
Lawler still trying to throw in "WHAT" and being terrible.
Shield 2.0 (Rollins, Mercury, Noble) was awesome.
Brock's comeback was simply incredible.

I have no idea why this wasn't a 5 star match. For Ishii vs. Tonma to get a 5 star and not this is baffling.

Also, Lesnar's theme is my favorite theme with AJ Style's NJPW theme being a very close second.

[Kalmado]

For those curious about Ishii vs. Honma, it's linked below. The first fifteen minutes or so is simple shops, clothslines, and what not. I think it's heavily built upon Honma (Honmamania) being the underdog. About the only semi holy-shit moment was Honma delivering the Kokeshi (diving headbutt) from the top rope to Ishii onto the floor around 17:00 mark. To be candid I'm writing this before finishing because this is such a lackluster match vs. so many incredible matches Ishii has put on, but this one is a 5 star Meltzer but yet the after mentioned is only a 4 3/4. It makes me thing Dave may have a taste for JP dick because I'd view Ishii vs. Honma a 4 1/2 at best.

Jon Jones failed another drug test.

Brock is now the main event of UFC 200.

NOW I MUST PLAY THE VIOLIN

Final Deletion is just incredible. I laughed every single time Matt would go on offense and just yell DELETE! DELETE! at everything. Match of the year.

TNA moving to 8pm on Thursdays starting July 21. I doubt they wanted to go head to head with Smackdown, especially the draft episode.

[Kang]

I just rewatched the Final Deletion. I have to say the best part is not even the Star Wars-eque drones. It's when Matt lures Jeff away and then RUINS his perfectly landscaped yard 11/10

[Krandor]

Matt apparently owning a Stradivarius was an appropriately ridiculous touch.

[Lyall]

As of yesterday, the nWo is officially 20 years old.

I feel old.

I got to interview Apollo Crews this week to hype up a show in my city later this month. It's a short interview, ~5 minutes or so if you want to take a listen. I understand now why they don't let Apollo talk a lot on TV. I had to do a lot of editing to clean up his stuttering and stammering. Nice guy, though.

The real question is, did he question if you have tater tots, tell you a story of climbing a beanstalk, or just have a case of sufferin succotash...
