Now Finn is just being silly.  Makes me a bit scared that this is all a trolling, though.

 


I'm looking forward to this. heh.

Smackdown has now become a more watchable show than Raw because of Mauro Ranallo. He made me feel excited while watching the main event between Ambrose and Owens which is basically a match that I've seen several times before and fallen asleep. Man, do I love Mauro! Not sure how he will fit in with WWE though since he actually calls the action and uses words like antipathy.


Yeah, this I can agree with. Really appreciated his commentary.

--------------------------------

First, AJ's match quality has been OFF THE CHARTS this year and he deserved it.  Slightly surprised Tanahashi finished ahead of Okada for second, though I do agree.  What I don't understand is why Rollins is below Cena and Lesnar.  Lesnar barely wrestled.  Zack Saber Jr. is going to be a lock for "Best Technical" for years to come, he's bloody amazing.  Ishii is good choice for "Best Brawler", and Ricochet winning "Best High Flyer" is a foregone conclusion.

I really hate the MMA stuff being mixed in, though.  Makes no sense to me.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Ambrose and Owens are stealing the show.

I loved that "I HATE YOU!"

Edit:  Bloody hell, they're not playing around.



That match was the nuts.



                            

Big E in a pink singlet is one of the best things in the world.



Really good video package for Becky and Charlotte.

Also, Becky's theme owns.
