Agreed. I don't see anything particularly bad about the posted match list, but nothing on there screams "OMG, I have to get this" the way MITB did.

Err, over as what?

If its over as VKM2.0 then awesome, cos combined with the earlier reports Punk is coming back face it sets up a good future through to WM. If its over as a ******o sugarly sweet PG face GM then vomit imo.

same boat with LKJ and eyebooger. seems like the show will be fine, but nothing is must-see, and the risk of complete monkey tilt from paying $55 to watch Cena win clean and just erase the past several weeks is too great.

re: clean/dirty - what % of heel wins are actually clean? Sheamus pretty much has to lose and lose dirty to officially get over as a face; then let him get some measure of revenge to a big pop on the ensuing smackdown.

I think getting HHH over was the original plan (not sure in what way) but then Punk got uber-over and they switched it up. Could still happen, but they are running with Punk for now.

Spoiler:
I dont think Sheamus would struggle to get over if he wins clean after a struggling match or something and he is built up enough for it to be credible he beats Henry in some way. They just need to keep him fully away from faces and id be betting the results go Sheamus goes over, Christian goes over then at the next PPV Sheamus takes on Xtian for the strap.

One grey area here is with Sin Cara returning where does he fit into the Sheamus turn story? Are they gonna just completely ignore that 3 weeks ago he put him through a ladder and tried to murder him?


Sorry, forgot some of that could be spoilers.

Well, it was a legal move during a match, not some random attack.

Noooo! Melina was the Diva Focus today and everything! (lol WWE) http://www.wwe.com/superstars/divas/...cus-2011-08-05

Or maybe that was the problem.

Add David Hart Smith to the list of sports entertainers in need of a new position.

Melina's picture on the front page of WWE makes her look like a tranny version of chyna.

Seen it coming with melina, last time i saw her on RAW she was standing around in the ring (jobber status) waiting for opponent instead of her usual red carper spectacle.
Masters could have been a main eventer on the SD brand if they knew how to use him.

I don't understand cutting Melina. Seemed like as far as women wrestlers go she was fairly over, or at least was at one point. More than can be said about 80% of the rest of the women's roster.

agree, I would say only Kelly and Beth clearly would have more value than she does, with Natalya, Bellas, and Gail (on potential) on the same level, with the rest below.

I guess on the plus side, I've always had a desire to bang Melina, and this probably brings my ever so slightly closer to that goal.

Khali is terrible, but India is a huge market and there isnt anyone who can take his place.

Curt Hawkins has a job. Seriously, the guy from Ryder and Hawkins has a job! As does Golddust, JTG, Primo, Yoshi Tatsu and Trent Baretta. Im not even sure who Trent Baretta is. All of which are literally going no where, are never on TV, sell no merchandise and seemingly only fill in when its cheaper than hiring a local jobber and id fire them faster than some guys like Masters who was named and i would also cut.

While we are there, does the WWE really need 16 divas? They have one belt and its only ever going to be contested by around 6 of them. 1 is even Kong who didnt get released. Melina, Eve, Rosa and Gail Kim may as well get cut. Gail isnt ever getting pushed and it seems she wants to leave (and GL to her in TNA again, seriously), Rosa is terrible, Eve is the definition of not over and Melina seems to be mostly kept around to keep Morrison (and half the lockerrom) happy. Id drop Maryse too, her fake tits look weird and she doesnt have much to do with Kelly Kelly covering the role of blonde barbie. Id probably drop one of the Bella Twins, but somehow book matches so it seems like they are both still there. Or both, cos tbh, they add little to the show and twin magic is ****ing stupid.
Masters is expected, Gail quitting is expected, Melina was pretty obv going back to WM where she pissed off a lot of peeps and it doesnt help that the last time i saw her in the ring she worked like **** and botched left and right.

Surprised at Koslov, figured the Russian market and having someone they can cheer on would save him long before some of the others. But he was a pretty bad worker and just didnt improve in 4 years, he had WAY more opportunity to make it and he should thank the WWE via twitter or something for giving him so much more camera time than he deserved.

Id expect to see a lot of the others i named in that middle paragraph to go next week. There is nothing for the majority and they have a huge batch of FCW peeps ready to move up and mostly fail cos they are all scrubs as they have filtered out the quality via NXT but you never know.

It's odd to me that they were putting Masters over Swagger at house shows right before cutting him.

Nah, just Natalya for no reason whatsoever. LOL WWE. I guess it's good that they're kinda sorta trying though?
