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

[Kalmado]

Yeah Byron is pretty bad. Out of all the commentators, the only ones I see fit to really call matches is Renee Young, Corey Graves, Sweet T, and sometimes JBL. I'm not 100% on Tom Brennan (is that his name?). The rest of the commentators can go.

[Krandor]

Corey Graves is the best regular commentator easy. Regal is probably the best overall that they have in the company, but he's mostly in an offscreen/NXT GM capacity these days.

Renee is still kind of rough around the edges as a commentator, I would imagine she'll be kept in a interview/pre-show capacity for the foreseeable future.

[Xno Kappa]

Booker T is my favorite simply for the hilariously unintended dumb shit he says sometimes lol.

[Krandor]

His Owen Hart comment awhile back had me shaking my head for a good hour.

[Krandor]

Soooooooooo, a match for Summerslam is already known because of who it involves.

Spoiler: show

Stephen Amell vs Stardust

[arus2001]

Assuming they don't put the Hollywood kids gloves on, I actually think he could work the ring a bit.

[Fiendishone]

Middle of June gonna be a fun weekend. NXT show on the 12th at the Agora theater. MITB on the 15th in Columbus. Raw the next night in Cleveland.

Wallet taking a hit but I don't care lol

[Kalmado]

Just my thoughts, but we all know who's winning that, and it's not the lower card jobber.

[NotGreyheim]

I hope he

Spoiler: show

pulls out a bow and arrow and actually shoots Stardust through the face. Seriously, fuck the Stardust gimmick

[Anoat]

I'm not a fan of the Stardust gimmick, but I am a fan of Cody and it is pretty admirable how much he commits to the character. Plus the theme song being an evil remix of Goldust and the "Dashing" Cody Rhodes music is pretty amazing.

[Tyrath]

Is the PPV at the usual 8 PM time?

[Xno Kappa]

Stardust was the best thing to happen to Cody. Fuck the haters.

[Krandor]

Is the PPV at the usual 8 PM time?

Yes, pre-show is also supposed to have a Miz Show segment with Bryan which might be worth a watch.

[Anoat]

Stardust was the best thing to happen to Cody. Fuck the haters.

I gotta disagree. Babyface Cody was on fire when he (and Goldust) were feuding with Orton and The Shield, and consistently getting the best matches of the night. When Cody and Goldust got sacrificed to the Old Age Outlaws for no goddamn reason, it stopped them both cold.

[Xno Kappa]

Leave it to Sheamus. Rusev out of the EC.

[Melena]

You would think 14 months later I could at least get through the pre-show without stuttering

[Anoat]

This company has the son of Mr. Perfect doing a Hogan impersonation gimmick. I just. I just....what?

[Fiendishone]

Rusev out with injury for the IC match. Dear baby Jesus let Samoa Joe be the replacement.

Edit: can dream even though I'm sure it'll be Neville.

[Krandor]

15 minutes in and we've gotten a Swanton off the top of a pod, this should be a good night.

Also, the replacement is going to be Mark Henry

[Anoat]

Cesaro fucking murdered Kalisto with that uppercut daaaaaaaamn
