Dom/Lee/Ali and the main event were really strong matches. It was hilarious seeing the crowd turn against Steveson in his debut.

Definitely a fun show and a good way to kill a Sunday night. Stratton has big room energy; she'll be roster ready sooner rather than later.

Most here are likely too young to remember him. He was the Golddust character 20+ yrs before Goldust ever existed. I remember watching him on Superstars Of Wrestling on Saturday nights in the 80's when they had wrestling on from 10 pm to 6 am and showed all the different regional promotions.

The Cody Rhodes doc on peacock was incredible.

Paul Heyman: “I’m the greatest of all time.”

Stephen A. Smith: “I mean it was Bobby ‘The Brain’ Heenan back then.”

Paul Heyman: “Screw him he’s dead.”

Vince in trouble again with the Feds

I don't believe Jey is winning the match tomorrow. Just wanted to put that out there.

Yea, feels like Jimmy will interfere and cost Jey turning heel and they feud while Roman is on vacation. However, I can see Jey having staying power as at least an upper card guy on his own. Don't see much traction with Jimmy.

packman80 · 08-04-2023, 09:31 PM

No they won't put the title on Jimmy. I still think they are going to run it back at WM 40 with Cody vs Roman this time Cody goes over. I still think though they should have Cody feud with Priest and win the MITB case off him that way he won't have to win the RR again to face him.

Instead surprise MJF wins the RR and challenges Rollins for his title at WM

Jolten Joe · 08-04-2023, 09:35 PM

very blah go home episode of SD

I get they want to build this new Hurt Business 2.0 around the Profits but it felt more like " Oh the Profits are heels now" than the huge pop say a Wyatt Family got back in the day. Maybe it's because all of the internet dirt sheets had prepared everyone for months that it was just an " Oh ok cool" reaction than a " Holy F*** " moment. The crowd seemed more excited to see Lashley than the fact The Profits turned heel.

They pretty much gave it away with them talking with Lashley on TV a couple weeks ago so it was expected.

You have Jimmy and Jey mixed up...

Plenty of ways to get Cody to a potential mania match without winning the Rumble, although right now the only guys I see realistically winning are him, Jey, or Gunther. That has time to change of course.

Also sounds like MJF resigned with AEW....

Jolten Joe · 08-05-2023, 04:10 PM

Are we really caring about any SS matches other than Reigns/USO ?

Women's Raw title likely ending with Sky cashing in and walking out Champ.

Cody for sure going over Lesnar with all the one sided beat downs.

Rollins/Balor probably going to end in a DQ or Priest teasing cashing in distracting Balor for the Rollins win.

McIntyre goes over Gunther so he can move on to going after one of the big titles

Logan Paul over Richochet

Rousey/Baszler..... Nobody cares

SS Battle Royal Match..... Nobody cares even less

Roman/Jey will see way to many false finishes with multiple interference's by Solo, Jimmy, and maybe other family members. In the end Reigns wins and everyone falls back in line and the Bloodline keeps going strong.

Also won't be shocked if we see a segment either in ring or backstage with Hurt Business 2.0 beating someone up. * Yawn *

packman80 · 08-05-2023, 04:29 PM

I don't think Drew wins Gunther is going to break the IC record Boring Drew does not need to be the one to beat Gunther.

LOL good thing Brock was wearing something under those Trunks.

Wonder where they go with Brock now.

Chick behind Cody mom has a shirt that is working overtime to contain those fun bags.

packman80 · 08-05-2023, 08:12 PM

So on Smackdown they had like 8 guys in the battle Royal now it's like 20 guys.

packman80 · 08-05-2023, 08:24 PM

Crowd is fire for LA Knight hopefully this is start of his push.

He’s been plenty over for a while now. Hoping he gets a push too.

This “MMA” match is a disgrace.
