The look Taker had after the Goldberg match was like "So this is how I'm ending my career..."

To be fair his career ended a while ago. He hasn't had a decent match in forever, and he is a once a year attraction that really shouldn't be wrestling period, but if it has to happen he needs to be in a 6 man match or something where he came come in get his two or three moves and GTFO.

Well maybe he shouldn’t be jumping at the blood money.

I went back and watched that match, and all I can say is I'm glad I didn't watch that garbage live.

I found a 23 minute clip on DailyMotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7anz6g
They don't start the match until halfway through the clip (11:34) and barely 8.5 minutes later (20:05) the match is over.

For as big as this event was supposed to be, I don't see a bunch of asses in seats. This was during Taker's intro (9:23 for the exact spot)

Looks like even Saudi Arabia is getting tired of the stale product.

Although those floor seats might be intentionally bare due to the royal family not wanting commoners down there.

Also, Goldberg was **** up in that match. Gets loopy by banging his head off the door like an idiot, hits head off ring post... again, and then takes a bad tombstone.

but it's weird looking at the sections of blank spots. That one on the left is literally blank in the center. I don't think those are all seats in that section, but it's weird that the one side is full and the other has a huge gap between sections.

It also looks like that even the floor seats didn't fill up. They might be half full at best.

Just caught up on 4 weeks of firefly funhouse. Still good stuff. Hopefully Vince never catches on and continues to be hands off like with The New Day.

I thought Dana Warrior being a writer for shows was rumor, a misunderstanding, or a joke, but she actually is a writer. Wtf?

She is. And she recently posted a photo for Pride with her supporting LGBTQ while dressed in Warrior paint. Somehow the irony was lost on her. I hate how WWE is acting like the Warrior wasn't a complete **** dadhole while he was alive.

I had somebody on my twitter feed say "but what if he really is pro LGBTQ?"

That's fine, and maybe she is. But you can't be making that statement wearing Warrior paint.

Stomping Grounds PPV tonight in front of a sold out crowd with a fantastic card. Just kidding, half the arena is curtained off and Rollins is facing Corbin in the main event.

Postby **iamjs** » Sun Jun 23, 2019 10:17 pm

holy hell, if i had to rate that main event on a scale from 1 to 5 with five stars being the best, I'd give it a -10.

Who is the dbag wearing a tossle cap in late June?

Hey whats the fastest way to get people to hate our two biggest babyfaces? We should have Michael Cole mention they're dating 45 times a show and use their relationship in a storyline that nobody wants to see.

The attendance at last night's Raw was 3,500. They may as well start hosting Raw in high school gyms again. Good lord.

Seth Rollins comes off as a total tool/corporate toadie IMO.

Rollins run as babyface champ has (once again) been underwhelming. It doesn't help that he's feuding with Baron **** Corbin, but at a certain point WWE has to admit that Rollins is a shitty babyface.

Rollins on Ambrose (Moxley)

Ambrose can do what he wants. He's a big boy, he's got his big boy pants on. He can go out there and say whatever he wants, but the bottom line is not everybody's equipped to handle the rigors of WWE and the schedule and how it affects you mentally and emotionally. And Ambrose gave everything he had to the company for the entire time he was here. He put his heart and soul into the travel, into the schedule, into the injuries, into the work in the ring and all that stuff. But at the end of the day, he took his ball and he went home, or he went elsewhere at least. And I think it's a little presumptuous of him to get on a podcast and talk down about the company that gave him such an opportunity.

Whoooo boy. I've been super down on WWE lately (it didn't help that I just listened to a 4 hour retrospective on the Benoit murders) and Rollins isn't doing the WWE any favors with this interview and his recent tweets. This is a company full of good old boys and carnies and they wont recognize their fall until they're already dead and buried.

Sure. It was part 1 of the Lapsed Fan series on it. It’s a 4 part series but I needed a break before starting part 2. It’s obviously a heavy topic. Fair warning, they go into detail about the crime scene.
