    MiTB, where to begin?

    While overall I thought the PPV was good the booking decisions were strange.

    I simply don't get Sheamus winning the case, does anyone buy him as cashing it in and winning the title? I think the non reaction from the fans shows you just how Sheamus is viewed by everyone outside of the WWE creative.

    I haven't been the biggest Reigns fan but I think that was the spot for him to win it, once again Reigns is in a big match and doesn't get the job done. Or Ziggler. Hell Kofi would have been a better choice because then you could have had any of the New Day guys threaten to cash it in at any time and could have had Brock beat the crap out of Kofi at the 7/4 Network event in Japan and take the case for himself.

    Speaking of New Day, unless they win back the tag titles tonight on RAW I don't get why the title change happened. The WWE finally has another team over so they make them lose. And to the Prime Time Players? I just don't get it.

    IC title match was a joke, I guess the IC title being meaningful again died when Bryan got hurt.

    Cena/Owens match was pretty damn good again. This is another perfect example of it doesn't matter who wins as long as it's a good match and these guys delivered. Can't wait for the 3rd match.

    Liked the Rollins/Ambrose match too although I thought it went a little long.

    Again I thought the PPV was good but just too many weird booking decisions.

    Yeah, I was rolling my eyes at Sheamus winning. It made no sense to me.

    Same here, didn't really get why Sheamus won. But I really liked the PPV. Cena vs Owens was pretty much the fight of the night.

    Rollins took a couple of hard bounces to solidify his status of I-can-do-it-all-by-myself.

    Honestly I enjoyed the Divas Match as well. Nice idea letting Brie Magic fail. I hope one of the top four nxt divas will soon get promoted. Paige vs Sasha Banks for example should be lots of fun.

    Let's see what happens on Raw tonight, maybe some clarification on why exactly Shaemus won the case.

    Ill tell you who is awesome.....Seth Rollins.

    His promo to start RAW was great. Weasel Heel, hes great at it. Then the last 10 mins of RAW....his music hits, he walks to the ring, with this "no one can stop me" ****-eating grin. I mean hes really lapping it up. When HHH mentions dust or diamond, Seth says "Ill be the diamond, Ill prove it to you!" *Brocks music hits*.....the look of FEAR on Rollins face was fantastic. You could smell the urine through the TV screen, he was shaking so much, Sweat was flailing from his beard...Absolutely fantastic without one word uttered. Loved the closing of RAW. Those two will put on a great match.

    I predict HHH screwing Rollins building a HHH/Rollins match at SS and leaving Brock to feud with Ambrose? or someone for the title.

    I'm surprised that they're running the Brock/Rollins match at a typically throwaway July PPV but I guess now with the Network those non special PPVs are just as important. I'm guessing maybe a non-finish for that match to build to a rematch at Summer Slam. If Brock does win the title his next opponent would probably be someone like Orton I'd think. I'd love to see Brock win the title then Sheamus try and cash in the MiTB case only to be destroyed by Brock and lose.

    I don't know where this leaves Ambrose though, in a perfect world instead of a Reigns/Wyatt match they could have ran a Ambrose & Reigns vs. Wyatt/Harper/Rowan match at Battleground followed by a Reigns/Wyatt SS match but that still leaves Ambrose with nothing to do.

    I'd be surprised if Triple H wrestles at any PPVs other than WM. It would have been perfect to have a Reigns/Triple H at SS last year but they went with Orton instead.

    Brock Lesnar could probably stare ISIL in to submission.

    I think Ambrose is pairing up with Kane. That backstage skit where Ambrose called out Kane as being around only for a job, instead of it being his life, was the beginning of it. Probably not what people want to see, but whatever. I don't mind Kane in his current role, and feeding him to Ambrose might help him some...I guess...maybe.

    I'm fine with Ambrose feuding with Kane at a C level PPV as long as he gets the win. All of the other major heels are tied up in feuds so it makes sense to a degree.

    Didn't see it either but I believe Finn Balor pinned Owens to set up their Japan match for 7/4.

    Watched the Beast In The East Network special from Japan and it was a really enjoyable 2 hours of just wrestling. The Jericho/Neville and Balor/Owens match was specifically really good. The Japanese crowd was also pretty hot all night and throwing the streamers in the ring at the start of the Balor/Owens match was fantastic. Wish the WWE has more specials or even a PPV over there.

    Pail Wight had a great interview with Jericho on his podcast last Friday. Pretty fascinating look behind the curtain, so to speak, with someone who was there for both the nWo transition in WCW, and the shift from the "attitude" area to what we have today.


    http://podcastone.com/pg/jsp/program/episode.jsp?programID=593&pid=518684


    ***Edit***

    And if you haven't heard it the interview with Chavo is absolutely amazing. Particularly, the second half when they cover Chris Benoit.

    Yeah the Big Show podcast was great. I also enjoyed Jericho's recent podcast with Nattie and Tyson Kidd talking about growing up in the Hart Family. The story about Vince having a meeting before WM with the whole Hart family to go over the Bret/Vince match was fantastic. The Harts truly are insane.

    Maybe it's just me but I thought that was the best Raw I have watched in a long time last night. And that's without one of their best in Ziggler on the card.

    The PPV this Sunday should be extremely interesting. Ratings have been pretty bad recently, enough so that Vince brought Lesnar back a month earlier than expected. I wonder if they will do a title switch or hold off until Summer Slam.

    I'm hoping that ratings will continue to bottom out so it wakes Vince up and they start to make serious changes with the direction of the company. The storylines/writing has just been awful for so long, they need a total revamp.

    I heard monday was great and I missed it, USA was out on my hotel tv.....sucks. Ill watch tomorrow night when I get home. I hear through the dirt sheets that EVERYONE needs to watch Battleground, something huge is happening. Not sure what it means, but speculation is Brock wins title, GONG....Taker comes back for revenge, build for Summerslam for the title, which would be insane.

    Maybe have HHH screw Rollins setting up haitch/Rollins at SS....its all rumors, but speculation went wild when a picture of Taker training got floated around.

    WWE needs to do something to spike fans interests especially with the 2nd biggest PPV next month. I'm not really crazy about either idea but it's not like I have a better option either.

    But what would be the point of having The Shield come back? I'd love to see them reform too but there has to be a storyline that makes sense and right now there isn't one.

    I like Rollins as a heel too but I do think the WWE has done a poor job with him since his WM win. I'm pretty sick of the "Corporate/Hand Picked"/Authority champion deal. I wish Rollins was on his own and didn't have to J&J and/or Kane with him all the time.

    Id like to see Rollins branch out, join with Owens and start this badass group, give Owens the IC title and let them reek heel havoc.

    Nah keep Owens by himself, there's no need to group him together. Rollins should just go off on his own too.

    The only stables that should be around right now is The New Day and a reformed Wyatt Family because man what a huge mistake that was to break them up especially when they haven't done anything with any of the 3 guys and they have all just been kind of there treading water since the break up.

    Not sure, but it is a little exciting to have Taker this early. Also, this survivor series is the 25th anniversary since he debuted on that ppv, so hopefully this is his last "ride" (see what I did there) and we see a few matches, a feud, and a ending to the Taker character at WM in his home state.

    I mean I guess it's a little exciting but if Undertaker is coming back to challenge Brock what's the point and why did it take him so long to do it? Plus don't you have to keep both Taker and Brock strong still so I can't see Taker getting his revenge win or jobbing again. I don't know, the WWE is just so messed up at this point I wouldn't put anything past Vince.

    Maybe Taker comes out to screw Brock......hes at the top of the stage....Brocks waiting for him....in the ring....Rollins rolls out, gets counted out, keeps the title.....Taker starts walking to the ring.....CROWS.....Sting hits Taker in back with bat.....starts whoppin his ***.

    Brock/Rollins SS

    Taker/Sting SS

    Not sure....like you said anything can happen, which makes watching Sunday a priority haha

    Well from maybe 10:00 on. That card besides the main event and the Cena/Owens match looks like a RAW or Smackdown taping.
