Question for you all: Who is the most underrated wrestler ever?

 

William Regal has to be in the conversation imo

  • That he made racial remarks in a 2015 interview somewhere and hadn't apologised for them. Hulk's last appearance for WWE was in January for their Netflix debut and he was booed enormously.

Now that Charlotte is out of action maybe WWE can try pushing the likes of Bianca, Liv, Ruby and Kairi more. All of them are severely underutilised right now. Io, Asuka, Sasha and Bayley are all really slaying the women's division for me at the moment!

I make do with highlights on Channel 5 on Sunday. It's good to see it back on terrestrial television as highlights form.

Just bumping this as some of the matches for Summerslam look they could be fun..

 

Seth Rollins vs Dominic Mysterio

WWE Championship Drew Mcintyre vs Randy Orton

Raw Tag Team Championship Street Profits vs Andrade and Angel Garza

United States Championship Apollo Crews vs MVP

 

Asuka and Sasha for the raw women's championship should be confirmed as well by next week!

Nxt Takeover & Summerslam this weekend. Anyone watching (outside of me, Jon and Lee).

 

 

Predictions

 

Johnny Gargano - North American Champ

Adam Cole

Io Shirai

Keith Lee (predict a WWE style messy ending as Keith isn't losing the title this quickly..)

I'm sure there is another match I'm forgetting.

 

--

 

Apollo

Angel and Andrade (could also lose though and they break up with Andrade turning face)

Bayley

Mandy Rose (but want sonya win)

Fiend

Asuka

Seth Rollins

Randy Orton (I'll be happy with either winning and also not too sure who is going to win. Just thinking Orton is currently at his best in years right now but Drew has been booked strongly as well. Gah!!)

Yeah I'll be watching both of those shows, I'm really looking forward to the ladder match for North American Championship at NXT Takeover and seeing what happens with the womens championships at Summerslam. It will be interesting to see how Dominick Mysterio does in his first professional match as well.

 

 

My predictions:

 

Velveteen Dream (although I hope Cameron Grimes wins)

Io Shirai

Adam Cole

Karrion Kross

Breezango

Finn Balor

 

 

Andrade & Garza

Randy Orton

Apollo Crews

Dominick Mysterio

Bayley defeats Asuka

Asuka defeats Sasha Banks

The Fiend

Mandy Rose

Oney & Danny

Bronson Reed > Eek. They need to keep Velveteen away no matter what though... <

Finn Balor

Pat McAfee > I can see an Undisputed Era split coming. Whether it's tonight or on NXT this week, idk. I can see Roderick staying in NXT a little longer whilst the other 3 are "called up" to SD tbh <

Io Shirai > Ugh. Just like Keith vs Karrion, this match has happened TOO SOON. I don't want Dakota to lose, but I don't want Io to have this short a reign! <

No Contest > I can't see any other way that protects Karrion and Keith at the same time. <

 

---

 

Drew McIntyre > This is going EITHER way. I can see Orton winning coz he is RED HOT rn, but I feel like they are just scratching the surface with Drew and his reign. <

The Fiend > Regardless, they need to get the belt off Braun. His reign has been abysmal. I don't think Fiend having the belt helps anyone and it only pisses people off when he loses his matches (for whatever reason - he's just all gimmick to me)... <

Bayley > Sasha will successfully help Bayley retain... <

Asuka (RAW) > ...whilst Bayley will inadvertently cost Sasha her belt! <

MVP > Apollo has been a bit of a non-champ too... MEH <

Dominik > Clever to hide his wrestling ability by giving him a huge gimmick match. I can't see Dominik losing, but who knows? <

Garza & Andrade > They've really messed up Street Profits reign! Let them lose the belts, then in a few months time give them the reign they deserve. Plus, Garza & Andrade are killing it atm. <

Mandy > Would love a curveball here, but I can't see Mandy losing this stipulation. A HUGE moment for the two of them though. The first non-McMahon related non-title feud for the women on a big 4 ppv in a while I believe! <

Wowww what a debut match for Dominik.

Nxt was fab. I loved every match on it. Karrion Kross unfortunately suffered an injury which is a shame considering he won the title. Hopefully he won't be out for ages.

 

As for Summerslam.. I thought both the women's matches were brilliant. Sasha, Asuka and Bayley are really saving the women's division right now with these fun matches. I would like women like Bianca and Liv to get more of a shine though.

 

Dominic was impressive as well. Really enjoyed the Drew and Randy match too but the roll up was such a dumb way to finish the match ("the most devastating move in all of wwe" according to what cultures Simon Miller - don't really watch review shows on YouTube at all but I've been watching his stuff for the past year and he's so charismatic and makes me howl sometimes. I really wish wwe would stop resorting to those finishes so much in general. There's far too many of them...

 

Bray and Braun was kinda dull. I wasn't expecting it to be the main event tbh however I guess with Roman Reigns returning obviously I got why it was last. Roman looked good. I think he's done something to his teeth :lol: he legit didn't give me any baby face vibes there at all . Perhaps could be slotted into an anti hero role and I'd be ok with that or.. You know as a bad ass heel. It really wouldn't be a bad thing at all.

Forgot to add that I thought Io v Dakota was a nice little match. Io is my favourite women's wrestler for the past year but Dakota is really coming into her own since she turned heel last year!
Had a £25 bet on Rollins/Mandy Rose/Wyatt all winning their respective matches, so got a nice £50 win this morning :P

I saw both womens matches and they were both fantastic. Especially Sasha vs Asuka.

 

Those 3 are by FAR my superstars of the year so far. All brilliant!

The ladder match for the North American Championship was my favourite match of the weekend across Takeover & Summerslam, it was a really fun match and it wasn't obvious who was going to win. We'll see who will be Damien Priest's first challenger for the title. I knew there was no way that Karrion Kross wasn't going to win the NXT title and I guess it had to be done in order for Keith Lee to move to Raw.

 

 

As for Summerslam apart from the Asuka Vs Sasha Banks match there wasn't much else that notable that happened other than Dominick's first match and the finish to the PPV after the main event which I definitely did not see coming!

 

 

A number of matches have been added to the card for Payback during tonight's episode of Raw:

 

 

Women's Tag Team Championship: Bayley & Sasha Banks Vs Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler

Universal Championship: The Fiend Vs Braun Strowman Vs Roman Reigns

United States Championship: Apollo Crews Vs Bobby Lashley

Keith Lee Vs Randy Orton

 

 

I hope they don't book Keith Lee badly on Raw after how good he's looked on NXT over the past year or so but I don't have a good feeling about it based on previous NXT call ups. It sucks that they've changed his theme music to a generic rock/heavy metal theme. The theme he was using before was one of the best in WWE.

Well... I definitely didn't see Roman aligning with Paul Heyman coming (even though fans had been wanting it to happen a while back)!!

 

Oh and with regards to the NXT title due to Karrion being forced to give up the title because of injury... Gargano v ciampa v balor v Cole in the first ever fatal four way 60 minute Iron Man match! Should be excellent.

Apparently according to some internet reports The Rock and his whole household have tested positive for Coronavirus. If this is true then I hope he and his family make a quick recovery :(

 

 

Edit: He's actually confirmed it himself!

The first match and the last match of Clash of Champions were awesome. The way Sami Zayn won the ladder match was pure genius and the whole storyline surrounding Roman Reigns is the best thing in WWE at the moment and the storytelling in his match with Jey Uso tonight was brilliant.

Clash Of Champions was a solid PPV! One of the better start-finish PPV's in recent memory for me.
