Battleground is tonight & it's Jinder's equivalent of Pee Wee's Playhouse.
Punjabi Prison Match Jinder Mahal vs Randy Orton
US Title Kevin Owens vs AJ Styles
Tag Team Titles New Day vs The Usos
Flag Match John Cena vs RuRu
5-Way Elimination for #1 Contender for the Women's Title Lana vs Tamina vs Becky Lynch vs Charlotte vs Natalya
Shinsuke Nakamura vs Baron Corbin
Mike Kanellis vs Sami Zayn
Pre-Show Aiden English vs Tye Dillinger
And Breezango finds out who is behind their attack & who killed Tully the horse. My guess is Harper & Rowan.
I'll be watching this & the Cubs/Cards game. |

Game of Thrones gets my main viewing, but I'll pay attention to this after.

I do not get the Tye Dillinger hype. He is not that great.

I do not get the Tye Dillinger hype. He is not that great. Good hand. Loyal guy. But, yeah. He's never really been of interest for me. |

Watch as the black charisma on the stage tries to catch Baron Corbin. He will always be a step too quick.

I do not get the Tye Dillinger hype. He is not that great. I think he's super solid in ring, but the Perfect 10 gimmick is fine in NXT. It's incredibly limited. He's had 7 matches on TV I read, 4 of which have been with Aiden English. They called him up because he was over in NXT, but haven't done shit with him. They don't give him any time to talk or any storylines. Yet, they'll blame him because he's not over, which is bullshit.
New Day wins the titles, which is whatever. I've been over their gimmick for about a year now. I much prefer Mr. 24/7, Big Wool & Austin Creed over Kofi, E & Woods.

That women's match was sloppy as fuck. Lana's selling is so insanely bad, but she is such a smoke show, I don't care one bit.
Zero mention of Carmella, so I assume she's cashing in at Summerslam after Nattie vs Naomi.
That glow in the dark women's title makes me actually miss the old Cena spinner belt, that's how awful it is. |

Totally fine with the shenanigans pulled by KO to regain the US title. Have the conclusion to this feud happen at Summerslam. Throw a stip on it.

Am I the only one who thought Cena/RuRu was incredibly boring? Just 2 guys acting their asses off, struggling to get up 3 steps and set up a flag.
Then JBL said this could very well be Cena's biggest win of his career.

The Ascension said they were behind the attack of Breeze & the murder of Tully the horse. Breezango said, well some finales are giant let downs, but then they realized......The Ascension weren't at Smackdown last week, because that was the day of the Eddie Money concert they took the tickets for back at the last PPV! They took "two tickets to paradise!" Hooray continuity!
Lights went out & someone attacked Breeze, then attacked Dango, slowly pulling him out of the picture. To Be Continued.
The most interesting/entertaining storyline arguably in all of WWE continues!
Here's hoping they find out who it is at Summerslam.

Sami Zayn actually won on a PPV over Mrs. Maria. Wasn't a bad match, but crowd was sort of dead for it.
They plugged Talking Smack with The King & Renee after the show. Kevin Owens is a guest, which, I want to watch it, but fuck them for cancelling it after Smackdowns.
Punjabi Prison up next.

Owens-AJ was okay.
Agreed about Flag Match. Don't care.

Jinder retains.
Just a terrible match with a couple high spots.

Aside from Orton nearly murdering a Singh brother, that was a fucking mind numbingly boring match.
Then Khali returns looking immobile as ever. Plus it looks like he's pregnant with twins.
Guess there's slim pickings when it comes to what Indian wrestlers they can bring in to help Jinder retain.
This was a really bad show.

Shout out from Big Kev! #NeverForget
I liked how Owens said to Renee "you said you were watching as a fan, is that because WWE is giving you less & less responsibilities?"
Owens/Renee feud is so awesome. |

Talking to an old friend and Thrones helped. But I couldn't have given less fucks about this show.

So Natty called Naomi "homegirl" and a "spade" on Talking Smack.

The storyline for the background of Mike Kanellis was that he is a former manager at a Hallmark store and Maria met him, fell in love & decided to turn him into a wrestler.
I'm not kidding.
If you tell me "well, it's his fault he couldn't get over on the main roster" you can promptly go fuck yourself, because how a person is supposed to get over with that being their story to work off of is so mind numbingly stupid.
It's bad even for WWE standards, which is saying something.

WWE has taken an international superstar in Shinsuke Nakamura and made him irrelevant in months.

Know you guys don't like Big Dave's ratings, but I wanted to post his ratings from Battleground. Glad he hated the show as much as, well, everyone else.
English vs. Dillinger: 1.5
New Day vs. Usos: 3.5
Nakamura vs. Corbin: 1.5
Women's five-way: 2.5
Owens vs. Styles: 3.25
Cena vs. Rusev: 3
Zayn vs. Kanellis: 2
Mahal vs. Orton 0.75

His Cena Rusev rating is laughable.

His Cena Rusev rating is laughable. Seriously. Though if that's a 3 star match, then I can see why Omega-Okada gets 6+ stars. |

Post by randomone on Jul 28, 2017 11:37:44 GMT -6
I'd say give it 2 stars just for the table spot at the end, but that's being generous. With the exception of the tag title match, I can't see why any match made it past 3 stars.
