Mania

 

This Black/Dream feud is everything I never knew i wanted

 

I wish we lived in a world where Owens and Shane were the outcome of owens failing to win the wwe title.... we were in the middle of a nak vs aj feud for the wwe title... and jinder/zayn or babyface rusev were battling it out for the us title

 

Jinder has been a flop in India. I could see him dropping the title Sunday.

Tag match will be fantastic, and Shane/KO will be fun

 

Meltzer on Smackdown: "I think I know where they're going, and it's all fucking stupid."

 

For what it's worth, John Cena is being advertised for the newly announced holiday tour surrounding Christmas. We've got a Raw house show the Friday after Xmas and he's on it.

 

Cena was also removed from Survivor Series ads, but Brock has been added

 

I should prepare for the inevitable of Jinder retaining and Corbin winning shouldn't I

 

Weird. This one was just announced, so it's not a "card subject to change" situation. He's also listed in the "also appearing" rather than billed in a match, prob just cutting a promo and hitting an AA on Hawkins/Elias or something.

 

*sigh*

Probably. And I say that as someone that likes Corbin...the idea that that is the Smackdowns title scene until December is a little sad.

 

I will be shocked if Corbin wins, and if he does, it will only be to put AJ into the main event against Jinder who he will hopefully beat

 

Really I'm only looking forward to the tag match and shane doing something insane. I'm a corbin fan too, but the past few months have been so bad for him. Hopefully Charlotte can win too though

 

I actually would be interested in Jinder/AJ just because AJ is the measuring stick of "if you can't have a decent match with this guy, you can't with anyone"

 

What hurt jinder more than anything else is that all of his title matches are booked the exact same way. And then hes made to look weak during the weekly shows

 

All of this with Jinder could have been accomplished with the US title. Even just the fact that it was an Indian winning the US title would've both a) furthered the redneck nationalist heat they're looking for from us and b) played to the national pride they want out of India.

 

Aren't things like viewing figures and network subscriptions down since he's been champ? Maybe Indian viewers are all too aware he's actually Canadian and may not be that keen on him.

 

And he was logically being built to become a mid-card player. His squash matches got longer, he was 2nd to last in the ARMBAR, etc. Get rid of those post-WM squashes and Id buy him as a legit US champ. Though him being US champ for 4+ months would be just as annoying

 

Do we think that we get the classic War Games rules, or no? The whole one fall, submission/KO only bit?

 

I just want to hear Mauro yell "AND THE MATCH BEYOND!"

This scared the ever-loving fuck out of me when I was 9 years old watching this.

 

Colt/YTR is being teased for the Chicago ROH show and I hope it happens haha
