Re: The Official WWE Thread - Part 22

WWE’s original plan for actor Stephen Amell at the SummerSlam pay-per-view was to have him team with Neville to face Stardust and The Miz.

When The Miz’s feud with Big Show and WWE Intercontinental Champion Ryback got delayed due to Ryback’s injury, WWE changed plans and replaced Miz with King Barrett in the SummerSlam tag match.

Dean is turning of Reigns on SS isn't he? That's why they scrapped Sting.

[Tomwin Lannister]

I can dig a heel Ambrose Vs Reigns feud.

[Casciavit]

A feud which will see Dean do a clean job every single match

[zizzle]

Or Reigns will turn on Dean since the crowd would accept him more as a heel

[M99]

Stephen Amell training.

[Onyx]

Rollins ffs.

Gonna do some crossfit. Upgrade dat 99 agility to 102.

[Casciavit]

Crossfit

AKA exercise competitions.

brb injuries.

[Onyx]

It's good for wrestling imo. Improves strength, endurance, athletic ability etc. Only thing is you can't build mass with it, as evident by Rollins' physique.

[M99]

Rollins never had an injury in his career even though he took some crazy bumps. He credits it all to crossfit.



Wish more tag team matches were like this. These four tore the house down.

[Casciavit]

LMFAO at Owens moving out of the way instead of catching Seth

Fantastic heel work.

[Onyx]

Heard Jobsaro does crossfit as well, must be why he's got good strength and flys around.

[Casciavit]

The concept behind it is good, and a guy like Seth knows what he's doing. But in general, I would never do it myself. You're basically trying to see how many reps you are capable of doing and trying to beat a previous high score in a certain time limit. It's exercise so your technique and form decreases the more you do, leading to a higher risk of injury. And lets not forget how easy it is for a coach to obtain a license when he's never done any of the complex things crossfitters do.

It isn't easy for a rookie to go into it, unless they have a proper coach.

[zizzle]

Cesaro doesnt just do crossfit, but his workout focuses more on explosiveness and mobility rather than pure strength or size

[Onyx]

What does Josh have? Wait for it, wait for it....

Spoiler:

While WWE has stopped burying ZZ on Tough Enough and he wasn’t in the bottom three this past week, Josh is still considered the favorite and is a lock to get a WWE contract either way. We noted before that Vince McMahon was high on Josh.

SummerSlam next Sunday.

[Casciavit]

Nothing to look forward too imo

[Onyx]

RAW time.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Gonna half watch it

[Jay29]

Summerlam, the four hour extravaganza (only one hour will be worth watching), live only on the WWE Network (and hundreds of dodgy streams on the internet), with nine matches (but only four were worth promoting), all hosted by some random American celebrity.

Can't wait tbh.

[Onyx]

Tag team match to open the show. Time to go bed.

[Onyx]

Lesnar/Taker barely appeared for the build up to SS. Cena barely appeared. All hype, no story imo.

[RealGunner]

Tuned in to see crowd chanting Fat owens fat

[M99]

Jon Stewart hosting Summerslam is awesome. His first gig after retiring from Daily Show. He is a wrestling fan like Stephen Amell too so that's great. I will never complain of having Jon Stewart on my TV.

[Onyx]

Brock turning into dat generic face. Coming out smiling, slapping fans hands, getting dem suplex city chants going etc. Should be a tweener imo.

[Casciavit]

Damn that Lesnar pop/ovation
