Unless you're RVD or Ziggler, who are the only two people I've seen getting close to being driven down on top of their head, the move is fine. Brogue Kick from Shay-Moose is a leaping boot to the mush. Ambrose Dirty Deeds is a double arm DDT right down onto the head. There's other finisher that are just as, if not more dangerous than Rollins finish. Only thing I was surprised they did was actually call it a Curb Stomp. I'm fine with it, but the butt hurt society we live in, I'm surprised no one has bitched about the name. If they are going to get petty & bitch about stuff, they should ban the use of the fisting motion Reigns does before the Superman Punch. As it imitates a sexual act.  |

The only reason I could see them banning this is because of the american history x similarity/name. The name implies a move that is not meant to stun or finish and opponent but to finish their life.

I was shocked to hear them call it that initially as well. That is the first thought that went through my mind. Maybe the same dipshits that let them allow unlimited users on the network accounts for a year let this go too.

They should just call it the Blackout & that's it. They don't even show the finisher anymore? C'mon.

Naomi looked a litte chubby in the belly when she was on the ropes in the corner. I don't have room to talk but I just wanted to point that out.

See I thought the Meat Hook would've been better for D Young than Ryback.

Bo Dallas had me cracking up tonight.
Glad to see them giving the new guys like Kane a chance to shine.
I couldn't possibly give a shit less about this ppv. Strong chance I don't watch it.
Really huge announcement by HHH tonight on Raw...that they already announced earlier in the day.
I didn't see them being able to shit all over this Miz feud this quickly but they have. Good job WWE.
Zack Ryder did his monthly job match on TV. Thanks for playing kid.
How the fuck does Big Red Rowan eat with that mask on?
Orton looks so weird with hair.
Kofi Kingston fucked up that RKO spot not once but twice..come on dude you've taken that move 379 times.
Done with my random ramblings...I'm going to get 2 hours of sleep before this kid kills me today.

In the match description for Daniel Bryan vs Bad News Barrett on WWE.com, it says that Bryan is “undergoing diagnostic testing to see if he can defend his title at Extreme Rules.”
Bryan was pulled from the European tour and last night’s RAW as a precautionary measure.

- Bray Wyatt’s next feud is set to be Ryback. That’s who Bray has been cutting cryptic promos about over the last several weeks. (Credit: F4WOnline.com via Wrestlezone)
– While it’s unknown how long Roman Reigns will continue to feud with Big Show, WWE has been discussing having Roman Reigns vs Kane soon. It could be his next feud after Big Show.

Possibly no Daniel Bryan, Bray & Ryback feuding, and a riveting Reigns/Show program followed up by a scintillating Reigns/Kane program doesn't get it done for you?

I haven't minded Reigns since Mania. His promos have improved and he isn't in the main event. Both huge pluses.
Let him overcome Show and Kane in the next few months and then turn his attention to Rollins around Summerslam.

Ryback vs Wyatt? I'd almost prefer Ziggler, but he's feuding with Mr. Arse for no reason.
Put the IC title on Wyatt, have him be the one to take out Bryan if he needs time off. Wyatt & Cena as secondary champs? One established name who can elevate the title & one newer name who has a track record already fighting main event guys.
It'd get Wyatt back on track. A feud with Ryback won't do much for him. If Ryback wins the feud, I'm at a loss on what they could do with Wyatt from here on out.

That's perfect if Bryan is out for a while.
Have Wyatt terrorize the newly face-turned Hippie Bella daring Daniel to stop him. Tie it back to Bryan's abandonment of Bray last year.
Then have Wyatt win the match and put Bryan out. It's almost identical to the Kane angle from last year, but when/if Bryan returns he has a hot feud he can come back to.

I don't usually read spoilers but I barely care at the moment.....so I read them. It appears as though Smackdown infuriated a lot of folks tonight.

Dave Bautista was interviewed on the red carpet at the London premiere for "The Avengers 2" and when a WWE return was brought up, made the following comments:
"I get constantly asked if I am going to go back and I would. I love wrestling. I talked to Chris Jericho, who is a good friend of mine recently and he does a lot of untelevised events, that's all he does and I think I may take that path if I go back. The television...you're just too locked in, you're too locked into the scripts, which I don't think are great these days...and I don't want to be locked in."
I honestly wouldn't mind Batista doing that, it'd draw more people to house shows for sure. Biggest thing I like from his comments were that even he thought the scripts weren't great.

WWE.com has an interview with Eva Marie & THE Brian Kendrick about how he's been training her. These are the two bits I found the most interesting.
Kendrick's approach to training her: "The thing was, I didn’t know what to expect. When I talked to Mr. Regal, he said, “Best of luck.” I didn’t know if he was being sarcastic. I said, “Is she bad?” He told me, “Honestly, we don’t know. She just hasn’t done enough in wrestling to tell if she’s good, bad or anything. She’s inexperienced."
Kind of matches she has been watching: "Every night, Brian gives me homework, which I go home and study. I’m watching so much! Right now, I’m watching a lot of Super Crazy, Tajiri and a lot of ECW and Japanese women’s wrestling. WWE Network has been phenomenal for me. It’s an amazing directory for not only myself, but for anyone who’s into wrestling. You can type in anybody that you want and see their matches."
If you think about it, they threw her on TV immediately, she had no previous experience, no real time to train, of course she was going to (and is/was) awful. I hope she can turn it around, it'd be a nice surprise & would shock a lot of critics. She seems to have more athleticism than Cameron or Rosa for sure. I saw 2 videos of her training, one she was doing a Sliced Bread on Kendrick & another doing a springboard Tornado DDT. They looked really good. Now, it's a lot different when someone like Kendrick takes it as opposed to a Cameron, Layla, Rosa, Summer, but still, good to see her wanting to train instead of just floating by & getting an easy paycheck.
Also I would love to see the visual of her sitting back & watching Super Crazy vs Guido vs Tajiri. |

From Wrestlezone.com
As noted, Triple H was the special guest on the Tim Ferris Show this week, and amongst many topics, Triple H addressed the idea that he has buried talent in the past. Triple H also addressed misconceptions of him and the wrestling business and had the following to say:
“That’s one of the terms, ‘he buried him.’ It’s a show. Comic books, soap opera, TV drama, it never ends. They get so upset in the moment of thinking that it’s the end of the chapter. There’s another chapter tomorrow. They don’t understand the complexities of what goes on behind the scenes.”
I can think of RVD in 2002. Kane in 2002. Booker T in 2003. Goldberg in 2003. Randy Orton in 2004. CM Punk in 2011. All those guys got dicked over after feuding with Trips. He had a death clutch on that World Title & if he were to lose it, it was only for a month or 2 tops.

WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels recently revealed in an interview that he was very close to signing with WCW during the Monday Night Wars, and a new Extra Mustard interview with Kevin Nash now reveals The Undertaker was very close to jumping ship to WCW as well.
The following is what Nash had to say about ‘Taker’s “American Badass” biker gimmick:
“We had ‘Taker close. All of a sudden he wasn’t the Deadman. He became the American Badass for a reason. That Deadman wasn’t going to f—in’ come to WCW. He would have been the biker character and gone by Mark Calaway.
“All along, I was trying to get guys money, I was trying to get guys paid. And what happened was Vince started giving huge guarantees to the Shawns and Undertakers and those guys and said, ‘I can’t lose my core guys.’”
Not sure whether Nash is just blowing smoke or if there's any truth to this but it would explain the sudden shift.

- Word is that the WWE made the decision to bring back the King of the Ring during the last week. The decision was greenlit, and as advertised last night, the finals of the tournament will be held on the WWE Network tomorrow night at 8PM ET. WWE has confirmed that the preliminary matches for the King of the Ring will take place on Raw.
– Dean Ambrose’s victory over Luke Harper at the Extreme Rules PPV was his first win in a PPV singles match since the 2013 Night of Champions PPV. That show was held on September 15th, and he retained his US Title over Dolph Ziggler.
