Trying to dodge WWE’s recent bullshit.
Listened to MJF on Talk Is Jericho sold me 150% on this guy. No interest in AEW changed to me tuning in actively for him now when it airs.
So much attitude, perfect promo work and a great character. His approach is so character based that the wrestling skills come secondary. Going to be great.
Another Venn diagram of my interests...
I am shocked that Space Suicide has been quiet since Monday night in this thread.
Prediction time! It's been too long.
WWE Summerslam:
Drew Gulak vs Oney Lorcan - I think Gulak holds onto this one but I legit think these two are gonna shoot on each other and I am here for it. Should be a good one.
Trish vs Charlotte - So maybe this is Trish's retirement match and so Charlotte is gonna pick up the win. I think this match could firmly cement Charlotte's direction going forward because she's been a little lost lately.
Goldberg vs Dolph - I mean, yeah, Goldberg is gonna win this one. Anything to wash the taste of Super ShowDown out of everyone's mouths. Please don't hit your head on the locker room door on the way out to the ring, Bill.
Finn vs Bray - I'll do a short version of what I said earlier, but this should be a win for Bray and I kind of hope he beats Finn with Finn as the Demon just to really hammer it home how dangerous the Fiend is. That might just be me.
KO vs Shane - I fully expect Owens to put on a grade-A ass whoopin' on Shane to send him off TV for a while.
AJ Styles vs Ricochet - I like Ricochet for this one because I think our other big matches might not have pleasant outcomes, but he and AJ will likely put on the match of the night.
Bayley vs Ember Moon - This one has really not had much hype, has it. I'd like Ember to win it, but I think Bayley holds on for the win.
Becky vs Natalya - Ronda Rousey returns and costs Becky the title. That's my crazy prediction of the night. I doubt it will happen. Becky retains.
Kofi vs Randy - I think Kofi pulls this one out but it's gonna be a brutal match to watch.
Brock vs Seth - Brock destroys Seth and beats him within an inch of his life.
I can see Shane going over KO. Shane gets more heat. KO gets more sympathy. And he'll get even bigger pops when he shows up and keeps going after Shane after getting fired. Not a clean win at all either.
I see Becky retaining. Interesting Rousey prediction. Rousey has been talking about wanting to come back. And, Becky has thrown shade at her every now and then. I really want that one on one we should've gotten at mania. I figure its inevitable.
I agree on pretty much everything else. Particular Bray being the Demon. That would do wonders.
The bump that Adam Cole just took made me cringe
Beth Phoenix is the Alex Marvez of David Otungas on commentary. Also, Candice LeRae is the best and I wish she’d get to win. Great match though. Love heel Shirai.
Meanwhile, Charisma Vacuum somehow is allowed to keep the NXT Women’s title and it just straight up is senseless.

Glad they gave Shirai the win. Needed it more. Not sure what's left for Baezler though. She's beaten everyone now. Other than Candice and Io, who else is there? She has no credible opponents anymore.
That main event was overkill. I can only go ** at most for the bumps alone.
But 2 **** and a ****1/4 gives this a thumbs up still.
I love and watch Damandyz Donutz every weeks. Liv makes it better. <3
That was her second guest appearance.
It’s hard wading through the hatred online since then. NO ONE gave a fuck about these titles and she and Nikki won them and people magically care and start to hate. The hatred for Bliss is unreal online. It’s a little silly.
I love Alexa and am glad Nikki got her first WWE title but I would’ve wanted Asuka and Kairi to win. Would’ve been something different. I personally don’t expect Alexa and Nikki to hold these long. Hopefully I see them at Clash of Champions since I'm attending it live! My first PPV!
As for SummerSlam I’ll watch it. I missed TakeOver last night due to being at the beach. I’m home now.
If Charlotte wins and gloats in the ring Tuesday, Liv should return and beat the shit out of her. Perfect opportunity, don’t fuck it up.

I guess I can see some people having issue. Those titles mean nothing. All the trouble they went through building them up, only to kill them at mania. Not blaming IIconics. They did what they were given, I'm sure. Cant blame Sasha for not wanting to come back. They took a big shit on what she and bayley lobbied for. Maybe they think Alexa can help put over the title. That's my guess why her and nikki won them. Vince and creative dont seem to really care though.
I love this damn girl.
Yowie wowie.
I thought it was a good show tbh. Not great. It had plenty of good in there. Thought Charlotte/Trish was good. Kofi/Orton was good until the end. Bray was amazing.
Is this the first summerslam without a tag match? And it's weird not seeing Roman.
This was the best Brock match I've seen in quite a long time. For once I felt the stakes and Seth was excellent throughout. They've made great dueling partners.
The Fiend was incredible. All of the details even down to the realization that the new lantern is Bray's old head with the lantern jammed in its mouth. Fucking incredible and absolutely gruesome. I am 100% here for the Fiend.
Also, EDGE speared Elias?!
The Fiend was definitely the coolest part of Summerslam and I hope this is how Bray will be used going forward.
I was pleasantly surprised at how good the Universal title match was. Kofi/Orton was good until the finish.
Goldberg still sucks. Gassed during his entrance and hit two shitty spears before finally getting the last one right. He’s awful.
Ricochet and Styles had MOTN.
Trish had some ring rust during the beginning of the match and Charlotte isn’t the best to depend on carrying one through a match but it ended up being decent in the end.
Related, Takeover was okay. Candice and Io had MOTN and it wasn’t even close.
Shayna still can’t speak but mystically gets to keep the title.
I don’t get The Street Profits at all. Plus, there’s not been a clearer example of Shawn and Marty when it comes to Montez and Angelo. Angelo looks like a sluggish husk in the ring. I think Montez will be good after some experience.
Something felt off with the main event. Cole and Gargano have had better matches. I can’t quite put my finger on exactly what it was but it just didn’t have the magic.
The first one looked the way it did because of Ziggler selling it. I backed it up and watched it a few times just shaking my head at how lazy Duh Man is.
I hope he sincerely thanked Ziggler in the back. He can’t even work 3 minutes! He makes Taker and Lesnar look like Bret and Shawn. It’s embarrassingly obvious that he’s up his own ass all these years, being careless and sloppy because “fuck it, the office likes me, so why do I need to learn how to work correctly?”
Shooting for an October return.
I have an idea in mind, October will be my "on screen" return, where November would be my In-ring
Oh great, look who is back.
