maybe that oxana chick? there was a huge white lady that used to beat everyones ass.

Great call though, makes sense. Dont know if Bray will get the foley turn, I think they are seeing how its gonna work out with Ambrose.

Karma needs to return as Sister Abigail! I do like the idea of a woman coming in to take over the family.

With Mizdow picking up steam this is my dream for him: Miz beats Sheamus, holds title for a few months of hilarity with Mizdow running interference, Mizdow turns and beats Miz for the belt at Wrestlemania.

WWE wouldn't let a mid-card bout build that long. Could happen at Royal Rumble though.

 

[anotheridiot]

yeah Karma. There was another big one when one man gang was around too.

Sadder news.

Wrestling Legend Ox Baker -- Dead At 80 ... Famously Battled Kurt Russell | TMZ.com

Made it to 80. Maybe not so sad.

 

[Inimical]

Orton Talking about the Royals is really sad. Its all hes got to generate boos lol.

 

[wildturkey]

Watched the Rollins/Ambrose/Foley segment during MNF halftime. I liked it but holy shit was the commentary team awful. They did their damendest to ruin it.

 

[Inimical]

Yeah good segment. Ambrose has really stepped it up man. Having Reigns go down was a great thing for him. And since Rollins Character is being a little bitch boy to the authority it really steps him up.

 

[Inimical]

So they just shoehorned in the winner of Cena Vs Orton gets a title shot. Doesnt make since on so many levels. I guess the fact that ambrose beat Cena recently doesnt matter. And please turn orton face so i can stomach this.

 

[Inimical]

They had Ambrose get pinned on a single RKO. I guess internet strength has increased the power of the RKO. Rollins victorious on top of the hell in a cell last thing i expected but only because it shouldnt have gone down that way. The hype was great for sunday tho. Promo was good.

 

[Judge Fudge]

i admit. One of the best promos i have heard in a while was done by miss foley's baby boy tonight

How the hell did he get up there so fast? I saw Orton pushing a cable out of the way but usually they show the guy getting up there. He just appeared.

It was an excellent set of moves, Ambrose with his spring from between the ropes and Orton caught him clean.

Looked like Orton leaned over after the pin and said nice job man.

Had to watch Divas sunday, the Bellas deal is just on the Raw show, not on the divas show.

I actually thought they did a great job making what appeared to be a fairly uninteresting PPV look pretty interesting by the time the show was over.

The Rusev segment was awesome. I was like "Oh no he did not just do that!"

The RKO on Heyman was great. Makes me think maybe Orton beats Cena and then faces Brock. At least it'd be different. They can't really have Cena come out empty-handed three times in a row against someone.

Loved the "I Won!" from the Miz.

The color commentary was pretty awful last night. Any chance JR ever comes back? JBL has his moments, but is generally pretty forgettable. The King isn't what he used to be. Cole is barely even there.

I doubt it. The only circumstances I can see him calling another match for WWE is 1) a Steve Austin "One Last Match" deal and 2) Undertaker's retirement match. And that's only because both of those guys have the stroke to demand it from Vince. It's an easy sell, anyway. Both of those matches need a dramatic call, and nobody does it better than JR.

 

[iowajerms]

Anybody recognize who the soldier was? I don't believe it was just a soldier from the audience. He sold it just like a pro wrestler. I wonder if that will turn out to be a new talent or something.

 

[johnson]

He didn't look quite big enough to be a new talent (insert Bo Dallas joke here). Was he bleeding after the kick? I thought he might have been. I think he sold it really well though.

DcTen: Don't you think we need JR more for those kind of Rusev moments? He would have been incredible. I think Stone Cold and Taker can stand on their own if they return (obvi JR could only enhance it), but wrestling in general is desperate for JR to come back.

JR without question would enhance the whole product, assuming they'd let him call it like he used to. Problem is, if he were back, he'd have to shill the network and all the social media stuff they have Cole doing, which wouldn't really give him much time to tell the story of what's going on in the ring. That's why I think if he ever calls another WWE match, it will be for special event matches like the ones I mentioned.

He's an indy guy goes by Jaysin Strife. Don't think he has any contract with WWE. I know they use non-contracted indy guys from time to time on TV for roles like this.

WWE is disgracing everyone with this Rusev angle. Disgracing America, disgracing Russia, now disgracing the troops.

Yet, I, can't, turn, away...

It's the one angle that consistently gets a reaction from the crowd. That's what made Hulkamania, and the attitude era and all that different stuff great. The live crowd is at least 50 percent of the show
