Tempting fate just a wee bit to announce Borks Summerslam match on Thursday when it's more likely than not he's getting violently knocked out on Saturday (and as such wouldn't be able to do Summerslam)

Hazy is a Doink....I don't see what he writes anymore but I imagine it's the same old, same old broken record....just leave him be, he's probably happy in his own bliss where he is always right.

Actually it wasent. I preferred it when WWE was in the UK and THE UK guy always won their match. But I think DX got in Vince's ear and had that type of thing changed so the UK guy always lost in the UK unless anyone can think of a time before the UK guy lost.
However Montreal happened and Bret/Davey headed off to WCW, meaning there wasn't the opportunity. |

The plan back then was to run a follow up PPV where the Bulldog got his revenge and took the belt back from Shawn.

Times had changed by the time One Night Only rolled around. Swerves and unpredictability was the direction going forward to hook the fans back in. Top babyface Austin lost the title after only 3 months - that is impossible to imagine in the WWE prior to 1997.
They still use the same direction for the most part. For example, Reigns losing at MITB and Ambrose cashing in. The only difference is now we're so tuned into how Vince books things and so much backstage info leaks out. |

To think the only time Austin got a Lengthy run with the belt was when he was a heel in 2001 which alot of fans hated. Stone Cold should have never turned heel in 2001. |

I know and alot of fans hated it. I always hated these short title reigns and the way they booked Austin to hate the Boss and people in charge to it taking Austin 7 years to win the WWE Title and he loses it in 3 months? Sure he won it the night after but think alot of fans would just preferred Steve to win the belt at mania and then maybe lose it the following years mania or something like that.
That was one major bad thing with the Attitude Era all those short title runs. To think the only time Austin got a Lengthy run with the belt was when he was a heel in 2001 which alot of fans hated. Stone Cold should have never turned heel in 2001. My all time favourite being the WWF team talk from Vince with Austin, Angle, Taker, Kane and Jericho.

The difference with Austin is that the chase was always better than the catch. His whole character arc worked so much better when he was the underdog fighting against all the odds - same thing applied to The Rock when he took over Austin's mantle during his injury.

Ahh the New Era..where The Vaudvillians are beaten in less than 2 minutes by R-Truth and Goldust.
Did not bother watching Raw but looking at the results it looks very poor again. |

It looks like WWE are just waiting for the Brand Split now. Average shows are a concerning regularity and WWE now just appear to be counting down to when they can start this new "new era" with the separate shows.
You would hope WWE have been working on the concept from a creative standpoint and that the product will improve once the split commences. But of course this is WWE. |

Got to love Lesnar. In the UFC now all fighters have to wear Reebok branding tops/shorts ect due to Reebok paying for exclusive rights. It did not go down well at all as UFC fighters on the whole make next to nothing when comparing to say boxing, so making money from multiple sponsors was a good income for the fighters.
Step forward Lesnar...seen today in his fight gear with all Reebok logos tapped over lol. Even in UFC after years away ,Brock does what Brock wants https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CmobWaQUMAA5TNn.jpg:large He is looking huge as well, as big as ever. |

Looking at some recent house show results. One the other night featured Big Show and Kane going over Strowman and Rowan... In the main event.
It's a concern for the brand split. If everyone's fit, healthy and not suspended, the roster looks good, but otherwise it looks quite thin. Need to make some new stars and fast. Push Bray Wyatt (and don't **** it up by having him inevitably lose every rivalry), continue to push rusev, get Kevin Owens up to the main event scene, keep Styles there or there abouts, call up Balor and push him from the get go, And eventually Nakamura to follow... and both rosters could end up looking great. Continue the way they are, and a few injuries on one show could severley damage the product ![]() Just my opinion but honestly if I'd paid to go to the show in question, I would have been so annoyed. |

How do you know it's Reebok gear? Couldn't it be Tapout for instance, but taped up to comply with Reebok's exclusivity deal?
UFC have always tried to screw their fighters out of money though and the Reebok deal was one way of doing that. It made Dana and the two main owners very rich but screwed over the fighters who some made more money from fight week sponsorship than the fight money itself |
