[The Q]

I'm not mad at it but I'm also not really into it right now either. I need to hear the explanation first. And while I never expected Jey to win, I would have also liked something a little less contrived. The whole point of Tribal Combat they said was no one gets involved. Then everyone is involved. Could have made it something special or fun, instead they just threw a name on a standard No DQ match.

I don’t believe they ever said no one could get involved, I think that’s just something people thought they said and then everyone just went with it.

But I don’t get the reaction from people online acting like Jimmy has rejoined the Bloodline. He may still be out but either just doesn’t want his little brother to outshine him(not ideal as we’ve seen jealous brother stories before), or he doesn’t want Jey to turn into what Roman has turned into by being Tribal Chief. Sometimes people think irrationally and Jimmy could truly believe that costing Jey the match so he doesn’t become corrupted by being Tribal Chief like Roman has is the best thing for him and can’t understand that what he did was wrong.

I agree

No one should’ve gotten involved

But I do hope jimmys is the latter

But he also didn’t act like that

To me Jey does not scream "Top Guy material".

Great US/IC guy but that's it

Logan Paul might be the most naturally gifted athlete to ever step foot in a wrestling ring. A young Brock Lesnar is the only competition I can think of and they're so different as performers it's not an apple to apples comparison.

I expected Seth/Finn to be very good but I was surprised it turned out to be my favorite match of the night. A lot of believable near falls and drama

I'm a huge Drew McIntyre fan and the match with Gunther was good but it looked like he was emotionally checked out. I knew there was no chance Drew was winning based before the bell even rang.

I was hoping LA Knight/Omos would end the battle royal as the last two in the ring and they'd recreate the Hogan/Andre bodyslam moment

I think Roman acting like he had no idea Jimmy helped him was all right call. If he had been smiling like he planned it then it would’ve screamed Jimmy was back in but to me him being confused too means Jimmy is still out.

wwe is a joke compared to what it used to be.without stone cold,undertaker,kaine,rock,and so many others it,s just not the same thing anymore.vince mcmahon is no longer there fulltime now.

Yeah. He’s not back

The story now turns to solo seeing Roman and weak and not being worthy of the tribal chief…

i tend to find the ladies wrestling matches are more intresting than the male ones.

Not for me

They’re just not as good

But the booking is bad too

 

[The Q]

This whole thing makes sense if they got a fatal four way at like mania


Roman v solo v jey v jimmy

For all the marbles

Solo should win….

 

[Judge Fudge]

Just a thought out loud.

Was Io the longest time with the Women's Briefcase?

Won't be that long. They'll probably do the 4 way at Survivor Series. But I doubt Solo wins. They probably really will stretch this whole thing out to do Roman/Cody at Wrestlemania again except this time, Roman won't have anyone left in his corner.

You’re probably right

But solo should win

I think the women's briefcase usually gets cashed on the same night it is won, so I think so

I think a little rivalry between the Usos is a great idea. There has been some pent up stuff there for a while in this story and I like them going at it for a while...give Roman a break or let him wrestle someone outside of the Bloodline.

I was expecting Drew to take out Gunther. Hopefully they give that match another go...unless it's LA Knight's turn...

SRS reported today that the reason Bray Wyatt has been gone is because he's been dealing with a health issue that was considered to be life threatening. The good news is he recovering and should be ok

saw a shitload of nwa matches as a kid.besr friend,s uncle was a pro wrestler and he used to let us in.lots of stuff in regard to body blows and slams was real.also the blood was real saw him bloody after matches plenty of times.so it was not all fake.

 

[wildturkey]

Not sure I really like the explanation.

I did, however, like Jimmy going for the hug and getting superkicked last second. That shit was hilarious

I preferred it to just the jealous brother cliche

Because he was turning into Roman already…
