WWE: Premium Live Events (not the big 4 shows)

[Jussi]

Bloodline needed to win or they would've been a joke.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Dunno... this whole event felt... off?

Probably because it wasn't at noon like most PLEs

 

[sansabri]

i just want drew to win dammit lol

 

[Jussi]

Probably because it wasn't at noon like most PLEs

Noon? This was at the same time they've been for a few years already. Only the one'd held outside the US have started earlier.

 

[The Gongshow]

Solo vs Cody at SS. Roman and Heyman return

 

[TheBeard]

Lol for real.

Between some of the weird botches in the women's MiTB match, the non-kick out in the champ match, the Loa double low-blow, possible concussion... nothing felt in rhythm.

it was a joke because a ton of the PLEs this year have been overseas.

 

[The Gongshow]

Yeup. Fine with the finish.

Just don't give us anymore Randy + KO vs Bloodline tag matches. I bet we get one more at SS to get them on the card.

Lyra and the ladder were too close to the ropes for that spot. Though I think it looked the ropes were very "bouncy" tonight, looked like several people bounced further out than intended.

 

[TheBeard]

Oh snap, Drew gonna get suspended.

 

[Jussi]

Corey's voice is dead

Apparently has temperature 102°F.

 

[The Gongshow]

Okay, so Drew getting suspended. Seth vs Punk at SummerSlam?

Drew vs Punk at Bad Blood

 

[sansabri]

DREW'S PISSED AND SHIRTLESS

 

[The Gongshow]

Oh snap, Drew gonna get suspended.

Gotta drag out this feud even further till October

 

[TheBeard]

Okay, so Drew getting suspended. Seth vs Punk at SummerSlam?

Drew vs Punk at Bad Blood

They're gonna stretch it out now.

Dunno. You could have elevated someone else needing a rise even if it was of a secondary title. CM could have cost Drew the MitB match. This seems like short-term thinking. Obviously Knight is going after the US title. Gable is going to be dealing with the Wyatts and Jay is probably getting back together with his brother. Maybe they could have done something cool where the USO's cash in - something never done before. Or have Melo win and give him some credibility even if it's all for naught.

Just spit-balling, but MitB is probably on top of the 2nd tier PLEs and it just seemed unnecessary.

It's about telling long term stories, not giving someone a pat on the back that shouldn't be world champ yet.

Neither Gunther (who is totally beating Priest) or Cody should be getting cashed in by anyone in that match right now

 

[Emperoreddy]

Punk vs Drew is the summerslam match. The only reason it wouldn't be is if Punk isn't healthy yet

 

[TheBeard]

Lol at Cena doing everything in his power not to have to talk about Vince.

 

[TD Charlie]

Lol at Cena doing everything in his power not to have to talk about Vince.

A beautiful dodge by him though. He’s great with media.

30-40 dates next year through December. He’s going full time

 

[Emperoreddy]

Rollins/Priest should have closed the show. Punk screwing Drew again and Drew crashing out was the far more interesting ending

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Noon? This was at the same time they've been for a few years already. Only the one'd held outside the US have started earlier.

That's what he's saying.

This is their first NA PLE since WrestleMania.

Backlash, KOTR, and Clash were in Lyon, Saudi Arabia, and Glasgow respectively.

That's fine. They've made it clear it doesn't have to be a world title. Hell, maybe elevate NXT since it's somewhat floundering (I'm not sold on Ethan Page or Trick Williams and there's not a ton of franchise changing talent there). There's a million creative ways they could have used the briefcase. Why have a roomful of expensive writers if they can't come up with alternatives? This was just predictably redundant and not even close to as bad as what Punk did in Scotland.

That whole 45 second sequence was garbage. Setting up that spot she already botched by throwing Lyra into the edge of the ladder rather than on it, and then after nearly killing herself she botched the Lou Thesz.

I'm sure she got reemed out once she got back to gorilla.
