In non-shitty wrestler related news, Sami met his fundraising goal.

 

[Mahonay]

Yew that sucks big time. Probably who I was looking forward to most. Hopefully they can do some sort of last min. surprise match to compensate.

First time in the area. Any places to grab a bite and drink?

No idea since they decided to put the show out in the middle of nowhere in Queens. It's going to take me an hour and a half by subway to get there from my place n Brooklyn. I'm meeting Brian FETO there since he's hooking me up with a ticket.

 

[Rhaknar]

so how was Okada v Omega 3?

and Omega v Naito is going to be fucking LIT isnt it?

Awesome!

Not surprised about Mr. Graves' twitter commentary. But surprise, Vince doesn't care. He'll condone that type of behavior.

Lol what of course. Linda has a job at the Whitehouse. They are Trump all the way.

what happened with Corey?

I personally thought in some ways it was the best of the three. Not sure how I'd rank them overall.

But they are three of the best matches I've ever seen.

Satin says WWE doesn't want Jon Jones ringside at Summerslam because it would "distract from the match".

Yeah, why draw more attention to one of your biggest events.

It's staggering how one company can be so out of touch with everything.

This fucking company.

It's like they watch 1998 and see what works, then say "let's do the exact opposite this time!"

[UrbanDandy]

what happened with Corey?

He made an unlikable political statement.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

If any of WrassleGAF is in Virginia please stay safe. This is fucking horrible to watch unfold

 

[Beefy]

He made an unlikable political statement.

Which was?

 

[Anth0ny]

August 7 2017 Raw did a 2.20 rating based around a main event of Roman Reigns vs Braun Stroman.

August 10 2015 Raw did a 2.71 rating based around a main event of Randy Orton vs Seth Rollins

19% drop

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

They have learned nothing from the past.

Marking out for the POTUS

We've established that Sami is the only good one.

Said he liked that Trump threatened NK.

 

[Egg0]

I thought I was done being angry about Charlottesville.

That shit was horrid. My blood is boiling.

What's happening?

Crazy ass ppl

 

[Nocturnowl]

The Rock getting stuck in an endless loop of running because he couldn't finish his People's Elbow in the DOR section of the nL Rumble stream nearly had me out of my chair laughing.

I just went back to see this, it was hilarious.

In general there was something comical about the entire section with Rock, Kane, Trish and Stacy, like how the the dramatic camera effect comes out for Rock's special only to inexplicably cut to Kane doing mounted punches on poor ol' Kiebler while the camera effect lingers.

Yeah but having idiot Football , Basketball and d grade hip hop artists at ring side is totally ok

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Shit is awful

I know you're NYC area so I'll give a heads up. There's apparently an anti-Google protest planned for the Chelsea location by the alt-right/gger crowd over that dipshit being fired on August 19th. So just mindful if you're in that area.

 

[Beefy]

Man that driver what a cunt

 

[UrbanDandy]

I'm getting caught up with the rest of the news, and wow.

 

[Dental Plan]

*Cut to Royal Rumble 98 footage and the camera constantly cutting to Mike Tyson in his box seat*

And the Tyson/Austin footage from Monday night raw that was replayed the next day on every major news outlet.

This is what happens when WWE thinks they are untouchable as they have no major competition when in reality everything is competition.

Thanks for the heads up man.

It'll take me about an hour by bus. Running a 10k this morning was a mistake.

Or they don't have a deal locked up, which is closer to the truth.

 

[avengers23]

Shoot: Minoru Suzuki (both prime and post prime) can take down Steve Austin (pre neck injury)

Considering Suzuki is a shooter the likes of which Sin Cara could only dream of, yes.

 

[Anth0ny]

As much as I love Suzuki, real ass 96 Austin would WHAM hit him with that Stone Cold Stunner. Then he's got them BEADY LITTLE EYEEEEEES staring up at them lights for the 1. 2. 3.

 

[serenewarfare]

A deal? They don't need a deal for him to show up to the show and just sit in the front row.

 

[spindashing]

Minoru Suzuki could probably take down most of the roster if we're going down that route.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Thanks for the heads up man.

I work right near there, but thankfully this is on a Saturday so I wont have to be near these assholes.

 

[avengers23]

They use that spot as a promotional tool. They're not in business with Jones yet, so why would they invite him to sit in the front and train some cameras on him?

Why do they show MLB players and NBA players and NFL players in the front row of events? They aren't in business with them either.

When was the last time one of these NBA, MLB, or NHL players also tried to book himself into a fight in another company with a WWE wrestler?

Context matters here. Jones wants to do business with someone who is currently contracted with WWE in a public capacity outside of WWE. Why would they use one of their tools when they won't benefit from the result?

They will receive increased media coverage of the event if Jones is in attendance. That's the benefit.
