    Gable was lucky he didn’t break his neck.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 92,177 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    That would be taking to being like Kurt Angle to a new level 😄 but joke aside, he was lucky and hope he is ok

    Why do wrestlers even agree to take moves like that? Tell them fúck off if they suggest something as a ridiculous as that.

    A piledriver is a move that needs complete control. You don't have that with another 80kg hanging off your back.

    That triple threat between Gable-Penta-Lee was great. Lee's spot where he landed on the announce table was insane, as was the aforementioned spot with Gable landing on his head.

    Very audible We Want Truth chants.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,091 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Would someone really get rehired cause of that ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,524 ✭✭✭Deeper Blue


    I'm a big fan of Lyra but she's poor on the mic and the recent segments with Becky haven't worked in my opinion. Also the "she'll never challenge for the title again" stipulation doesn't really hit when it's a secondary title, particularly when Becky has been going after the world title for the last decade. Not being able to challenge for the IC title might be a good thing for her!

    Can Gunther reclaim the title from Jey tonight or will Seth attempt a cash in

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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    Hopefully, the jey title run has been a fail



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,091 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    YEET

    What would be intresting is having Sami Zayn end up costing Jey the title either purposely or accidentally



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 92,177 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Logan or Punk to interrupt Cena, to set up a match, hopefully it is Punk

    CM Punk going to Saudi Arabia to suck a blood money covered dick.......

    Hangman was right.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 173 ✭✭Apple Dumpling


    From the “Voice of the voiceless” to the propaganda Voice of the Maga billionaires company.

    He pulled a Jordan Henderson and gave up his years of being an ally for the Saudi money.

    And didn’t lie on his return he said it straight to the camera that he was just there for the money and it’s covered in a lot of blood.

    Thank God that Jey experiment is over. His moveset is absolutely awful.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 57,740 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Doubt it's over yet I'd imagine there will be a 'rubber' match (even though they've already fought 1 million times..)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,554 ✭✭✭✭Mitch Connor


    what saudii money would punk actually be getting? Is it not just his WWE money as part of his contract? Do Saudi/PIF pay the wrestlers extra directly?

    (having called out miz for it, going there regardless of who pays makes him a hypocrite anyway - just genuinely curious if the wreslters are actually getting loads of saudi money for going)



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 26,290 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    I don’t mind a rematch as long as he loses. Or better yet if he wins and gets cashed in on immediately afterwards.

    There is a Saudi bonus given to ensure they get all their top stars to attend the event to keep the Saudi lads happy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,927 ✭✭✭NITRO95


    And don't forget the bonus for when they are held hostage and can't leave the country



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 92,177 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Does Jey get a rematch?

    I suppose his world title reign was longer than his IC title reign

    Neither Jey or Gunther imho had great world title reigns, what happened the days when world titles would be defended at all ppvs now no title defences or put in tag matches

    Will Brie Bella return to team with Nikki

    That was intense from Ron Truth Killings, I hope he does not lose the fun factor completely but at least Solo and Jimmy can provide some humour

    I think Jey has had his run, he is connected huge with the audience but as a Champ, he`s not had a good run. The lack of a decent story since Mania hasnt helped. He is being put into tag matches and hes not even the 2nd biggest star in them.

    Id agreed that his moveset is really poor. The spear looks incredibly weak compared to Bron`s. He shouldnt use it at all to perserve the impact that Bron`s creates. Itll be interesting to see what happens next with him.

    Gunter needs a strong challenger.. plz dont feed him Bill Goldberg…ffs

    Looks like Punk is taking the money

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,554 ✭✭✭✭Mitch Connor


    surely Seth will go after him - or will they hold the case til after Cena is gone?

    Could Jey/LA Knight protect gunther from a cash in and feul Gunther, Knight, Jey vs Seth, Bron, Bronson?

    Have to figure thsi is where seth aims, and i can't work out what you set their faction up against.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 92,177 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1

    Could the mystery competitor be Reigns, Truth or Hendry?

    Going by the size of the other men in that match it would have to be someone that wouldn't look small beside them. Though it'll probably be Jey now. Unless he can't travel which is why he lost the title.

    Punk claiming to be the voice of the voiceless. Wonder why he didn't mention Truth last week.

    Gable was pretty banged up. Didn't think his match against Vikingo was that hard hitting.

    Do you think Dom was watching the fatal four way with his 3 women thinking "Y'know what, Kairi is pretty hot". Was thinking Roxanne would win.

    Maybe it was just with how tight the hair was braided but the closeup shots of Truth seemed to show a lack of hair so maybe the new look will be shaved.

    Dom was the only singles champ in the tournament. Shouldn't he be defending the IC title anyway? Is he even allowed to travel with his criminal record? Who would his opponent be this close to the show?

    Edite to say I see online there was another Kross segment with Zayn during the ad break. Would be great if these were kept for replay version on Netflix. Like how many would actually watch live?

    Oh and was happy to see Asuka in the women's bracket.

    That was a great Raw tbh.

    R-Truth's promo was class, the Cena/Punk promo was unreal and excited for their match*, matches were all decent, got some good setup and Nikki Bella and Bayley's return were good. Most importantly, Mr Iguana got a hype package. Gunther winning was a shock and while I didn't mind Jey's reign (especially as it was less predictable), Gunther is just a better champion.

    *Punk is getting himself roasted and it's totally a problem of his own making when he totally overreacted at Miz on twitter. I don't really look to wrestlers as beacons of morality (thank god) so while it's disappointing, I could probably be disappointed in any wrestler I like that's gone to get the Saudi payday. I do like them twisting it into Cena making him go if he wants a title shot. I think any of these wrestlers/celebrities (and most normal people) will sell out on their morals for the right price and chances are the ones we're holding up just haven't hit the right price yet. Excited for the match but it definitely tarnishes it a little bit.

    99% of people have a number at which they'll pretty much suck up anything that doesn't actually harm anyone directly. I include myself in that. I don't like Saudi but if you offer me hundreds of thousands to go there and just do my job for a couple of days I'll do it.
