Topic: Wrestling?

R-Truth had the best segment of the night, as he's done more than once in the past.

In case you needed a reminder of why people love the dude.

Well pretty much everyone I wanted to win at extreme rules lost, but Roman didn't win, so I guess that's a fair trade off.

RAW needs Braun back as soon as possible. Extreme rules was such a mixed bag of good stuff(Kickoff, Miz/Ambrose, Fatal Five way) and extremely bad stuff(mixed tag team, womans match, TT wrestling) that Braun is really missed.

Especially poor Bayley and Sasha Banks were brutalized and made to look like fools by booking decisions.

Its amazing how little I care about a Lesnar/Joe match. It should be a great King Kong vs Godzilla deal but I'm struggling to work up the hype.

I am sure if Joe/Lesnar would happen in NJPW or Lucha Underground, people would be hyped as fuck for it.
Jaded wrestling smarks basically know it, newer smart marks probably conclude it and the young fans don´t care for it that Bork Lazer vs this is my yard now is written in stone.

It is not the question if Joe is just a roadblock for Lesnar and has no chance to win the belt. People are probably already content when Joe does not get totally annhilated by the beast, and that is pretty sad for the main event of Summer Slam if you ask me.

Jaded Smarks have no interest in the match because Joe's not winning the belt, so rather than enjoy what could very well be a badass match, they'll ignore it, then bitch about Joe getting jobbed out even if he dominates or has a back and forth.

Newer smarks don't care because they probably only know Joe from NXT and WWE, and haven't seen anything super impressive from him yet, and young fans don't care because they have no idea who Joe is and the last 5 months of booking against Rollins have nearly killed him dead.

I just don't want this to be suplex city district 32. It might not be as this is Bork's first actual match that doesn't involve Goldberg for some time, so he's not completely immortal this time around, but when they're willing to squash Randy Orton for Brockle Snar the outlook doesn't look good for Joe.

Can't speak for LU. As far as NJPW goes, maybe, maybe not. Some undoubtedly would be, but most who follow NJPW know his run there, which included an IWGP Heavyweight title reign, was god awful. I get what you're saying about people who seemingly auto-praise certain other companies and shit on WWE by default no matter what. But at least in NJPW's case, I really doubt many of its fans would be all that excited about seeing him wrestle anyone there again, Samoa Joe included.
