GDT: WWE Money in the Bank (18th June 2017) - Reign of the Unhindered

[M.C.G. 31]

Baron Corbin burying that whole working hard thing was pretty great lmao.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Naomi proving she is an idiot for not understanding what no DQ means

Still knows more about wrestling than her former partner.

 

[swflyers93]

Last match was great. The rest of it was hot garbage.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Last match was great. The rest of it was hot garbage.

The tag title match was great I thought.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Tag titles would have been MOTN if not for the finish imo. It was great though.

Note to kids - don't do steroids, work at your craft, and you can become a 3MB member. Or you can do steroids and become champ!

Let's not pretend pro wrestling is some kind of meritocracy.

 

[Virtanen18]

One thing that sticks to me was listening to Talk is Jericho with Big Show and hearing both Show and Jericho heaping praise on Jinder. They both put him over huge.

Jinder's podcast with Y2J was good too. Quality dude.

 

[Virtanen18]

Lol one guy not working anymore and one with a foot out the door who spent 20 minutes crapping on things he doesn't like.

It's all a conspiracy I guess.

Lol don't waste your time. If Show and Y2J put over someone that the internet crowd loved, people would be eating that **** up like groceries.

 

[Augscura]

Lol don't waste your time. If Show and Y2J put over someone that the internet crowd loved, people would be eating that **** up like groceries.

But because they're putting over someone you like, you're also drinking the kool aid.

 

[Natey]

So that was all kinds of awful from top to bottom.

 

[Virtanen18]

You'd think KO is from St Louis given that pop he got. Nice.

 

[Virtanen18]

But because they're putting over someone you like, you're also drinking the kool aid.

Nope. I'm just taking what they say at face value instead of believing the conspiracy theory that WWE told them to say it or calling their opinions invalid because of who they are.

 

[Virtanen18]

- I lowkey like Carmella, her pairing with Ellsworth has been solid. Don't mind that win. Crowd going buck for him was hilarious.

- Men's MITB was alright, Nak saved it mostly. Corbin winning is kind of boring. I know I won't be popping for the next cash in unfortunately.

- Mike and Maria with an... Interesting gimmick. Let's see where it goes. Never been a huge Mike fan, but the more we see of Maria's [mod] the better.

I love how this Vince McMahon level of being out of touch flies with some people. It's 2017, it's comical to seperate "internet fans" from fans in general. 99.5% of adults who watch wrestling both know it's scripted and use the internet in their daily lives. The terms "internet fans" and "smarks" are almost always used by fans on the internet with a holier than thou attitude. The goal is to apply a dismissive term to these people to explain why they disagree with you. It's just because we are brainwashed smarks in an echo chamber.

Here's a thought: maybe most of us are critical of Jinder as a main eventer because he was elevated way too early despite a lack of skills required of a main event wrestler. He's having boring matches and ratings are the lowest of all time. Maybe that is why we are critical.

But please, tell me more about how we are wrong because 2 guys on the payroll put him over. And don't give me any crap about Jericho leaving and Show winding down. They are still under contract when they aren't on tv.

I just don't see what's hard to believe about this. Seems pretty reasonable that WWE would have Jericho and Show talk up the new champ on a podcast.

Edit: people need to learn the definition of a conspiracy. WWE employees saying nice things to promote another WWE employee at the urging of the company does not constitute a conspiracy

 

[M.C.G. 31]

When I saw the Corbin-Mahal stare down on Talking Smack I couldn't yell "do not want" internally enough.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Man that looked nasty

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Man that looked nasty

Looks nasty, but sami executed it perfectly and KO sold it perfectly.

What else is new about those two.

 

[Lunatik]

KO is crazy to take that suplex on the apron.

I think he doesn't if it's anyone but Sami or maybe AJ.

Looks nasty, but sami executed it perfectly and KO sold it perfectly.

What else is new about those two.

They are just amazing in the ring together, they know each other so well and have complete trust in one another to pull these things off.

 

[Serac]

That KO sell is amazing
One of my favourites in recent memory

Change it to just "fans" if you want, I don't really care that much. My point stands regardless. If those guys put over Zayn, it'd be a cool talking point. But this guy (McGhost I think) mentions how Show and Y2J put over Jinder on a podcast and he's got people jumping down his throat cause he didn't see it as a conspiracy or he didn't discredit Show and Jericho because of their past. I don't look for the opinions of wrestlers to validate mine or something, but it was pretty smarky to get on the guy for bringing it up and a lot of the reason why that smarkiness can be resented.

Did WWE urge Big Show to **** on being at TV all the time on the same podcast as well? Did they urge Show to call himself in a diaper "weird billionaire fetish porn"? And by all accounts, it was Show's idea to have Jinder bodyslam him at a house show. Reasonable that they may have pushed the Jinder thing? Okay. Laughing a guy out of the thread for not believing it? Weak. Maybe.....just MAYBE.....Show and Jericho actually like the guy? Plenty of others backstage seem to as well. Crazy idea, but think about it...

Please tell me more how unlikely it is that a wrestler is liked by two other wrestlers.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

I'm pretty sure i'm gonna enjoy reading the facebook comments about the PPV more than the PPV itself. Lets straight with this gem

James Ellsworth should be fired immediately, Carmella should have the MITB briefcase stripped of her, and the match should be re-done Live on Smackdown this Tuesday & or at the next SD PPV.

Until Ellsworth is fired, I say we boycott WWE. He is an utter disgrace of a man & a massive insult to the Sports Entertainment industry & it's fans. It is never ok for a man to attack and potentially harm a woman. #BoycottWWE #CancelYourWWENetworkSubscriptions #FireEllsworth #FireJamesEllsworth

This time seth rollins should have win # Money in the bank . seTh # Rollinz # and cash in jinder mahal and will be the WWE world Heavy Weight champion and WWE Universal Heavy weight Champion Soon. Seth Rollins still defeats rookie like sting, nakamura, fring balor, Boby rode, Austin Aries, kevin owens, samoa Joe and aj stailee . sting debut in wrestling at 2014 and aj debut in wrestling since 2016 royal rumble. They both didn't even training in NXT. Wwe didn't put Rollins on the match # Cancel # Network

 

[SeidoN]

all I know now is that every fibre of my being needs Styles v Nakamura

 

[The Gongshow]

-KO was literally in the match to take bumps. Please give me a KO/Sami US title program please (if their done with AJ/KO)
-I like the Carmella/Ellsworth ending
-Tag Titles and mens MitB where solid tonight

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

I just don't see why the 3 guys at the top at this moment are Orton, Corbin and Jinder. Look at some of the names on the Smackdown roster and this is what we are getting in the main event?
