    Here's your preview, VIA LINK..

    Sky Sports, I'm not even sure which channel, as it's been ages since I've watched any Sky Sports channels.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Those on Sky who record with series link remember Sky changed all its sports channels and you will now need to relink to the new channel.

    No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change this World

    4 way match confirmed for the Universal title at Summerslam. That's something to look forward to at least, should be a great match.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,790 ✭✭✭Bret Hart


    Great opening segment. That'll get people hyped for SS. Braun just flat out destroyed the security guards. He's a beast.

    why are wwe security guards always so delicate ??? lol

    I love Brawn. He's so, so watchable. When he was flinging the security guards round, I was so happy. Love the giant.

    Aaaand new WWE Universal Champion, Braun Strowman...

    Yeah it has a ring to it.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 23,128 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    If I lived in the states I think I would have serious health issues. Pretzel dogs!

    By recent standards that was a good Raw I'd say and yup Braun is the man. I don't dislike Roman really but damn he really is a level below the other three in that match in terms of my level of interest. I'm hugely into that segment and then he talks and I start checking my phone.

    I know what you mean, I have zero interest in anything he does at this point, just sheer apathy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,406 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Roman reeks of desperation. They're desperate to make him seem cool and badass and he isn't.

    Braun and Joe have a natural badass-ery to them. Roman just doesn't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Liking the mix of tag teams at the moment hopefully they do something creative with them going forward.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,348 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Is Emma getting the blame for the Emmalina thing not working out, which is why she's getting buried?

    Yes and No.

    Yes, because this is the way you should book a new challenger and unlike some of the other contender (Roman) he actually has some likability to him. It also kinda feels like the right time for him to make that next step.

    No, because I've no faith in them booking it right once he wins. In fact I could see him just being used as the guy Roman has to beat to win his next championship.

    A run from Summerslam to Mania and possibly beyond would make Braun an absolute mega star if it was done right.

    Is there a reason Akira Tozawa has such good English? Like has he worked in English speaking countries for a long time. There's a big difference between him and Nakamura.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,406 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Wiki says he's been working in the US since 2010 so learned it during all that time I guess.

    He's the only cruiserweight who kind of stands out to me. Seems like a headcase.

    Nak was on Jericho's podcast and had really good English, I think WWE Nak is put on for effect.

    I don't know deep fried chocolate bars are worse & sound even more disgusting. (Never liked Hot Dogs or Pretzels myself).
    Speaking of weight it's sad that big show slimmed down & hasn't been pushed since. His drawn out teardown from Cass was sad as nobody cared & it felt like it went on forever.

    He's legit best mates with Apollo Crews too which helps.

    Current plans for Cesaro and Sheamus at Summerslam is for them to defend the titles against
    Ambrose and Rollins, who will presumably win
    .

    What channel are Raw and Smackdown airing on now live, that Sky have messed around with the Sky Sports channels?

    Sky Sports Arena every week, and also on Main Event from time to time. If series linking go with SS Arena.

    He's left it too late. He needed to be in this shape 15 years ago.

    Sky Sports Arena, 01:00 am, also just odd not typing 5 after sports..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,866 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    Just a little complaint, what is there to gain for any of the 3 guys by giving their all in this triple threat? What will winning achieve. They're already in a title match for Summerslam.

    You might say they're just mad to get their hands on each other, and that will be how it'll be spun tonight, but all the same why bother with the match

    To prove who the better man is? Not that'll it'll matter in the grand scheme of things @ Summerslam, when Brock retains.

    They win tonight and lose at SS, there's only one match we'd remember 5 years from now

    I'm just sick of pointless matches, seeing too much of the same matchup and seeing a matchup before the ppv. Lesnar ain't gonna be around after SS no matter the result so odds are the top of the card will contain some combination of those 3 and sure we'll have seen so much of it already whats the point
