I know WWE doesn't have the best track record with asian wrestlers but with KENTA its gonna be different since casual fans are already familiar with his style. He had some epic fights again'st Daniel Bryan and also CM Punk blatantly rip off most of his moves(KENTA created the GTS for instance)

I can see Devitt haveing some good matches with Neville & Sammi

Isn't Fergal Devitt the guy that does the super awesome face patins? I hope they can let him keep that in WWE.

@Retro_on_theGo Yup thats him. after bryan got sign Devitt sorta became the next top wrestler yet to be signed by WWE. Its great to seem him finally get his chance.

Anyone manage to watch the new Paul Heyman dvd?

An interesting development ...

WWE announced the release of Alberto Del Rio due to unprofessional conduct and an altercation with an employee.

The rumor right now is that he had words with a member of WWE's social media department and slapped him/her.

So who's watching Summerslam? anyone? Bueller?

just watched Bray beat Jericho (dammit, not the singing again... barfffff). too bad, Jericho's jacket seemed extra snazzy tonight.

and how 'bout that lumberjack match? it ended predictably, but it was fun to watch Seth get his butt kicked all around the arena, as well as Bo dumped over a barrier and Gold/Stardust go after Corporate Kane for interfering. fun fun fun for everyone :3

my feed's a little behind, and i missed the kickoff match, but right now they're going into the brie/steph match. yawn...

Brie v. Steph was pretty good, mainly because of Steph's work effort.
But Reigns v. Orton is meh.

meh, not a fan of the brie vs steph ending. too soon after the shield breakup — yeah, we all probably knew the bellas wouldn't really be a tag team anymore no matter how tonight turned out, but it didn't need to happen like that. sigh.

that kick to H's face was pretty sweet though :3

Can I just say how much I miss the Attitude Era??

Nothing against the current roster as I know there is a lot of talent there, but the crowds are just so quiet and don't seem to care anymore. You just don't see pops like Stone Cold and The Rock got on a weekly basis 15 years ago. Even Hogan coming out at the end of Raw last week barely got a reaction. Sad.

Give me the Austin-McMahon feud or the Ministry of Darkness any day of the week over this current stuff.

That Brock Lesnar fight though, lmao

Wow I really enjoyed this years Summer Slam. The Rollins/Ambrose fight was my favorite but I also liked the Wyatt/Jericho and Reigns/Orton matches as well. Especially loved seeing Lesnar destroy Cena. Eat, Sleep, Conquer indeed.

are you kidding? Cena didn't even put up a fight. He looked dazed throughout most of the match. I don't mind him losing, but ffs at least try to make it believable. and you wanna talk 'five moves of doom', how many german suplexes was that, anyway? what a boring match to end with.

in all seriousness, where can they go with the belts now? seth's MitB is useless against Lesnar, and Reigns, love him to death, but is he really the man capable of stopping the monster that took down the Undertaker on his own home turf, a feat attempted by the best in the biz twenty-one times before him as well as the monster who freakin' suplexed cena like 16 times over in one match and turned his own F5 against him?

not to mention Lesnar can't cut a promo to save his life — the man just can't act — and also, he hasn't been a regular wrestler since his return. only PPVs and the occasional trot-out-the-meat moment while Heyman waxes loquacious and someone tries something stupid. are we really to expect that the unified heavyweight champ will wrestle only PPVs now, or is he just gonna gradually pound everyone in that locker room into an unsightly pulp?

i really think the writers have made a grievous error with this Lesnar push. the only thing that can save us now is either an injury, a miracle, or Lesnar vs HHH (because seriously, The Authority trumps everything nowadays... always a plan B and all that).

@theblackdragon: I think this will is going to be one of those decisions that blows up in the authority's face. They think that Lesnar will help them cause they gave him a title shot lol. They wont be able to control him, he will run amok for awhile causing them to make a deal with some face to take care of Lesnar.

Honestly the WWE kinda screwed themselves by having Lesnar beat Taker cause if you think of it how will it look to Taker's rep if he couldn't beat Lesnar and then someone comes along and beats Lesnar like Cena?

@theblackdragon Daniel Bryan obviously but since its still not clear when he will return you could say Roman is plan B

@ELI-ASH: it'd be like David and Goliath though, one good suplex and he'd be dead in the water. remember, Cena has F5'd Big Show in the past and dumped him over the ropes singlehandedly more than once back in his heyday. Taker is also a pretty big guy and has consistently held his own against other large wrestlers. somehow i can't see DB as ruthless or dangerous enough to take on Lesnar the way they're hyping him now, and coming back from a major injury, it'd be like throwing away all that expensive surgery and rehab time they've invested in him to have it be spoiled by one too-rough move. it'd be like throwing a chihuahua in with a rottweiler or something, so i'd class that under 'miracle', lol.

@theblackdragon
brock vs bryan was the original plan for summerslam actually but since bryan got injured Cena took his spot. In both cases I assume Brock would have won the belt.

Brock beat taker so i dont see him facing any of the heels in the roster unless someone turns.

i know, and i reiterate: DB beating Brock to get the belts off of him would fall into the 'it'd take a miracle' category, lol :3

Brock hate Cena! Brock smash!
