This show has been quite something.

The PPV is Called Money In The Bank

I suggest you boycott the Royal Rumble if that kind of thing irks you.

I'm cool with Corbin winning it, Styles, Nakamura and Owens don't need a briefcase to get over, Ziggler is gooseberry fool and has had his chance and Zayne is destined to be a midcarder. I think it'll be a long time before he cashes in.

I'm not that bothered by it, but the Championship match has main evented every MITB PPV with the exception of 2012 and 2013 (penultimate). This year SD had the whole event to themselves.

I'm not even sure if Jinder has main evented anything yet in regards to SD.

She was great tin the main event :lol:

Corbin winning was predictable and he's boring as strawberry float so I've got zero interest in any storyline he's involved in. Crowd clearly not big fans either. He's just another generic, cocky big guy.

Really hope they build towards Styles v Nakamura at Wrestlemania for the title. They're head and shoulders above everyone else on Smackdown.

I think Corbin could benefit from a good manager.

WWE has rejigged their PPV schedule around again.

No Mercy (RAW) September 24 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Hell In Cell moves to SmackDown on October 8.

TLC will now take place on October 22nd for RAW at the Target Center in Minneapolis, MN

And Clash Of Champions is now in December.

Final PPV of December is TBA.

Laughed out loud at Strowman bursting out the ambulance, roaring and almost walking straight past the camera down the wrong corridor but quickly changing direction at the last second :lol:

That Enzo and Cass bit has Vince's big man paws all over it :lol:

Why would you break up a team that is one of the most over on the roster? Oh yeah, I forgot

Wrestling, and especially WWE's obsession with breaking up tag teams has always irked me. Any decent team that comes along, you're just waiting for one to turn on the other and it's boring as hell.

It's been obvious for weeks. So obvious in fact I was expecting a swerve and for it to be Enzo or something because everyone had guessed where it was heading. Russo would have had it turn out to be the referees.

That would have at least been interesting. I'm hoping they at least turn this into a non-wrestler v wrestler type feud now, rather than a series of squash matchs.

Vince has probably been dying to split up Enzo and Cass since they were called up from NXT.

I wish "You deserve it" and "This is awesome" would join the dreaded "What?" chant and be put in the history bin.

Definitely "This is awesome"! I think it's the reason guys aren't as over as they should be, if somebody did something amazing or cool during a match back in the day the crowd would chant for that guy, not the match in general, thus making that guy seem like a bigger deal. Plus it's been around long enough, I watch the first episode of impact last night from like 2004 and they were chanting it in that!

So they're having a rematch next week on Smackdown for the women's Money in the Bank :lol:

Also: You still got it.

My problem is often the crowd chant 'this is awesome', when it clearly isn't. It should be reserved only for those truly awesome moments.

I bet Carmella wins it again. :fp:

I can see Lana being added and possibly winning it.

Ranallo is moving to the NXT announce team https://www.instagram.com/p/BVp4v6IgOoc/?hl=en

MAMAAAAA MIAAAA. I don't particularly like him but new NXT commentary is awful so better I suppose.

If anyone fancies it, I have a spare ticket for the WCPW Japan qualifier in Manchester on 7th July. I was taking the Mrs, but she's going to be away and everyone I know who would be interested already has plans.

3rd row, £25 + putting up with my company for the night.
