correct winner. although a certain someone was never really eliminated. i hope leo notices it.

I must have overlooked something?

[HollywoodLeo]

I mean other than Axel still being in the one from years ago

[Hammer]

hornswoggle never went over the top rope. he climbed through the ropes then never came back in when he got dumped to the floor.

at least that's what my buddy said. i kinda zoned out while he was in the ring. i was hoping to get a "leo'd" out of it to confirm

[Kingdom]

False hopes

[HollywoodLeo]

It was Hornswaggle. I didn’t notice the sequence at the time

I'm glad I didn't waste my time watching MITB... about every result that I'm reading about would make me want to throw a shoe through my computer moniter/tv.

I like both MITB winners and the Bliss cash in.

Outside of that it was meh.

i have not watched the two main events yet, but its pretty much getting positive reviews for the womens mitb, styles/nakamura, rousey/jax/cash in and mens mitb. from what i did watch, the womens mitb was alright, though alexa was slow to get in the ring and get becky off the ladder and it made becky look kinda stupid... and aj/nakamura had their best match in wwe so far.

Yeah, Alexa kind of botched the timing on that and you could tell Becky wasn't supposed to win as she was fumbling with the briefcase waiting on her.

She's a big part of the reason why I'm glad I didn't watch. Granted I wanted Natalya to win, cash in and give Rousey someone to feud with that WWE wouldn't have to worry about, get her on tv some, a possible escape hatch for Nia, and not stick Ronda in a place she's not ready for. Bliss and Charlotte Flair racing to 10 title reigns is a big reason I don't care about most of the division. They're the only ones that really get tv time. Charlotte will be gone about a month after getting surgery for whats being reported as a leaky implant so hopefully they can find ANYONE else to showcase.

And if Braun wins any other way than calling his shot at a Big 4 PPV...that will be another rant for another time.

i dont mind alexa. i think their booking of nia as a sympathetic face is absolutely baffling, and that did more for my disinterest in the womens division, more than alexa. though i just watched ronda/nia, and in ring wise, they kinda made her the dominant giant and had her throw ronda around... the match itself was well booked and not so bad. if they can book her as a ruthless monster on the in ring stuff... ill admit i dont really watch womens promos (or any promos anymore, i very rarely have time for the weekly shows, so i really just fast forward through non-match segments), so ill deal with her being a smiling face.

i was hoping miz for mitb. sometimes the predictable is the right way to go... bryan winning the strap at summerslam, and miz immediately cashing in and winning the belt. it wrote itself. but im not upset with braun, on your thinking... he doesnt need to sneak attack anyone. i wouldnt even mind if he just came out tonight, and outright said "make sure brock is at summerslam, because im using this contract for my title shot that night".

I guess we're on different pages here.

They get showcased a lot because they're good at what they do. Rhonda is still way too green for a push and Nia is forgetable. In fact, I literally forgot she was even the champ at times.

As for Braun? While I don't hate the notion of him calling an actual match, the concept of him lurking for a typical cash in fits his persona way too much to hate that.

I just think with the way he's just bulldozed everything that's gotten in his way it would be a mistake to have him sneak in and cash it in. Plus as little as Brock is actually on TV, and how little he's "in peril" on non ppv shows just does not lead to a good look. If this was first run Brock who was on a "full time" schedule that would be a little different.

I like Hammer's idea of him coming out tonight and just saying I'm not through with Brock and I want him again at Summer Slam.

I don't necessarily think Brock would have to be in peril, though. In fact, I actually agree with you on that regard if they were to do it like that.

I simply meant he'd just have to be in the ring and Braun's music hits and we know what's coming.

[HollywoodLeo]

Given Braun's persona I wouldn't hate it if he simply called a match at a PPV, but that basically makes it seem like the case is just a set up for that PPV's main event, in which case I feel they may as well have had someone on Smackdown win it while Braun is simply named the number 1 contender through some form of booking.
