Mickie is enhancement talent in 2018. She's there to help thw others look good.

Braden 18-06-2018 12:26 PM

Just finished watching the PPV. I thought it was enjoyable, albeit I skipped through most of the show to watch the women's matches.

Women's MitB

Loved this match. Creative did it justice, in contrast to last year's which ended so terribly. I loved how all the women were utilised, and they were able to play to their strengths at some point. I wasn't sure who to root for throughout, but I'm not unhappy with Alexa winning. Yeah, it's tiresome for Alexa to always be in the title picture, but she's a charismastic heel and I thought it was fun because I wasn't expecting it.

I know the consensus is that Becky Lynch deserved it, but she just doesn't do it for me. I can't comprehend why I'm not much of a fan, but I just don't think she's exciting. Don't get me wrong, she's a great wrestler, just not someone who will ever be my favourite. Lana was fantastic. I had low expectations, but she kept up with everyone else and I ended up rooting for her. Naomi and Ember were brilliant, technically good wrestlers (the split onto the ladder was a highlight). Can't say much about Natalya, it felt like she had the least involvement in the match. SHe had good moments, though. Charlotte and Sasha were good additions.

Carmella vs Asuka

I can't take Carmella as champion anymore. I loved her as Ms. Money in the Bank, but she's becoming irksome. Unfortunate, because she was becoming my favourite wrestler in the women's division, but I'm just not feeling her anymore. The entire match felt unrealistic. Asuka wasn't able to wrestle to her full potentialy because it had to appear realistic that Carmella had somewhat of a chance. Ellsworth's re-appearance did nothing for me, and his staredown with Asuka was just strange.

Nia vs Ronda

Holy ****, this was fantastic. This is the reason why women deserved the push they're finally receiving today. It was so tense watching their showdown and the match kept itself at a good pace throughout. I thought it was a great idea to have Alexa come out and cost Ronda the win by DQ and then cash in her contract. It worked out perfectly, tbh.

Men's MitB

Didn't invest in this as much, since I was hyped over the past few matches. Can't say I'm a big fan of Braun Strowman. I prefer most of the other contenders, personally (Finn, Kevin, Rusev). The match was okay. I though Kevin falling from the ladder through the table was incredible.

What do people think of Ronda falling through the ropes? Was she supposed to do that?

Yeah she was, to set up the barricade spot.

Looked convincing though didn't it, really enjoy watching her wrestle.

LaLaLand 18-06-2018 05:45 PM

Really got to give Lana props for last night. I didn't expect her to do much at all and she goes and even gets slammed onto the ladder. No matter how "green" she is she still took bumps, met all her cues and delivered, awesome.

Good on her for proving me wrong.

Alexa did NOTHING in the match, she didn't even get powerbombed by Charlotte, reversed it into the Sunset Flip Bomb she does. Sable 2.0. in terms of taking bumps tbh.

It really did! I thought she was genuinely hurt when she was outside the ring. Queen of selling moves.

Denver 18-06-2018 05:51 PM

The way Ronda has not been in the game for long yet shows up most of the locker room with what she does is outstanding and is the reason I love her

Last night, June 17, after Money in the Bank a fan allegedly attacked Paige. Paige shared this on her Instagram, which was captured by Sean Ross of Fightful.com, about the incident:

“To the fan that decided to pie face me through my car window and then told me to ‘lose some weight, Paige’ you inspired me to keep being myself and eat whatever the f— I want. Good luck with your karma!”


According to PWInsider and Fightful, eyewitness accounts say Paige was greeting fans as she was leaving the venue and while high-fiving several through the passenger seat of the car she was traveling in, a male fan pushed her in the face and insulted her appearance.

Other fans present restrained and confronted the man while Paige’s car apparently left the scene, presumably to ensure her safety as quickly as possible in case the man had worse intentions.

There’s no word on if Paige’s assailant was detained by authorities, or even if his identity was ascertained so she or WWE can press charges.

As her Instagram story indicates, she left the scene unharmed.
Jesus :laugh2:

Just catching up now I'm screaming at Alexa having the title back already, I was lowkey disappointed at her winning mitb because I think it should go to someone who needs it (Becky) but I still popped at her cashing in :flutter:

Agree she had a solid showing, I actually thought she could win it at one point. Loved how the crowd was behind her too.

Denver 18-06-2018 08:55 PM

I really hope they make Rusev and Lana champs together similar to Edge and Lita

Braun running through the ladder :skull: a monster done right!

SO, MASSIVE announcement during the UK Tournament tapings earlier...

Quote:

According to those in attendance at WWE’s UK Championship Tournament tapings in London, WWE are set to launch NXT UK – a UK-based extension of the NXT brand.

Several people have tweeted about the announcement – which was tonight made by Johnny Saint, the new GM of WWE’s UK division, and Triple H.

As mentioned above, the brand will include women’s and tag team divisions, and tapings will begin on July 28th and 29th in Cambridge. Other shows are scheduled to take place in Birmingham, Plymouth and Liverpool, but crucially, there has been no mention of a TV deal. Presumably, like NXT itself, these shows will air on the WWE Network.

It is unclear which wrestlers will be drafted in to flesh out the brand, but WWE’s alliances with promotions such as PROGRESS, ICW, and Ireland-based OTT are perhaps a clue. It’s also unclear whether NXT UK will be season-based – as the taping schedule implies – or grow into an ongoing part of WWE’s regular Network schedule.


This is amazinggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scum at Ziggler winning the IC title

Denver 19-06-2018 12:45 AM

Bet Ambrose returns now

Yikes they're really setting the IC championship back 5 years by putting it on Ziggler :umm2:

Agreed. I don't get what he even is apart from a HBK wannabe?

Putting Drew with him is not good for Drew either... Like why would they be a team in a million years!? McIntyre should have always been like a lone wolf.

He's right like, she's an amazing character, her promos and storytelling are on point... But she's a pretty average wrestler and botches alot.

1. Asuka
2. Charlotte
3. Sasha
4. Becky
5. Bayley
6. Mickie
7. Peyton
8. Ember
9. Ruby
10. Natalya

All surpass her greatly in terms of wrestling ability.

Braden 19-06-2018 06:35 PM

Would you not say Naomi is top ten? Technique-wise, I think she's one of the best. I love watching her wrestle.

Black Dagger 19-06-2018 07:26 PM

Big Cass has been released

And
Spoiler:

Moustache Mountain beat Undisputed Era for the tag titles :love:

Oh that 10 is in no order or anything, that's just 10 off the top of my head.

Naomi is up there, as is Sarah Logan (when she will ever get the chance to show her ability off! She's been a fav of mine for years now, since she was "Crazy Mary Dobson" on the indies).

I'm unbelievably happy with both of these things.

Cass just wasn't cut out for singles competition, he needed Enzo.

As for the spoiler: :cheer2::cheer2:

I see!

Yeah, I like both Absolution and The Riott Squad in general. idk what the consensus is on either stable, but I think Mandy, Sonya, Liv and Sarah are all underrated. Ruby is rightfully given credit by the fans and I think she deserves a push and a tItle run in the near future.
