LOL at him, but he's a billionaire, and you're not...

At the rate the WWE is going you might have to take him out of the triple comma club soon.

Cody is almost a Miz-like character with a bit more in-ring ability.

Cody is almost a Miz-like character with a bit more in-ring ability.

I think it's fair to say that Cody is an up-market Miz. He's better in every way, and significantly better in the ring (still not spectacular, but it's 'fine' vs 'good+' and that's a big upgrade).

Another thing Cody has over him is that he's Cody, and Miz is always going to be just Miz. I can take Cody as a top guy, but I can't take Miz seriously above where he is.

Apparently Rusev was added to the US Title Match because he was pushing for his release a month or so ago as he was unhappy with how he was being used, and forced WWE’s hand.

Still salty the Rusev push went to Jinder. I still remember on SD there was a Rusev promo about how he wouldn't join SD unless he got a wwe title match..... then nothing.... didn't even get added to the MitB match.

I'm going to post the results for the NXT matches happening at Axxess in the spoiler thread. I expect them to be released at some so I don't want to put results here.

 

[Kimi]

those Ohno matches... nice

The Lee vs Ohno match is awesome from what I can tell from the .gifs on twitter.

 

[Disclose]

yeah hopefuly someone will show it. im sure they will air some stuf from axess, but i get the feeling that the non-wwe guys will not be shown or mentioned.

WWE rejecting Heyman for Ronda is moronic...Heyman can make it work..

WWE rejecting Heyman for Ronda is moronic...Heyman can make it work..

Its better if she doesn't speak, her mic work needs alot of work still. Too much of a fan girl still instead of just being a bad ass.

 

[GKJ]

They don’t want Ronda to be a heel, that’s why they won’t do it. Which is a dumb reason why.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Jericho texted Vince? Vince texts?

I bet he has an intern handle all of his text messages.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Vince texting back the equivalent of "k" is pretty awesome though.

 

[GarbageGoal]

“Sensational Invitational” sounds like something Vince would have come up with 30 years ago. Like Colossal Tussle.

 

[ColePens]

Jericho texted Vince? Vince texts?

I bet he has an intern handle all of his text messages.

Punk used to say he'd text Vince all the time at 2-3am and he'd be up.

 

[SeidoN]

PWS says Batista was the original partner for Ronda. they changed it without telling him, while he believed it was a done deal.

Keith Lee just dropped the WWN title so fire up the rumors for Takeover

HOTTEST FREE AGENT NOT NAMED WALTER :O

He's still got the PWG title, but he won that after the WWE contract rumours started so it's was intended to be a short reign (if he is signing). Walter holds a PROGRESS title, so worth keeping an eye on him; but I'm not sure if he's defending it this weekend.

Also, SPOILERS D:.

why they doing my boy Bluetista like that ffs, Angle can barely even walk

 

[The Gongshow]

WWE - "I hate you Batista"

 

[KaseMeOutside]

So they rejected Hey man for Ronda, when the pairing makes 100% sense, and didn't bother to tell Batista they were going another direction after he likely started to see if he could start clearing his schedule...morons...

 

[M.C.G. 31]

damn, Punk's almost going with the Benjamin Button aging since leaving WWE. Dude looks like he's reversed the aging process.

 

[Shoalzie]

Must've changed his diet...looks thinner. He's straight edge but loved junk food.

 

[GKJ]

Zack Sabre Jr. signed a full-time deal with New Japan. Will be doing less indys which is why he’s dropping titles left and right.

Must've changed his diet...looks thinner. He's straight edge but loved junk food.

He’s also not at a job that makes him miserable.
