I hate the Alexa Bliss character, and I extra extra hate the super hero hurricane helms lady character.

...but I guess if I'm being honest, this style of women's pro wrestling just isn't for me. So my opinion isn't worth much, as I'm not the audience.

Wow. That was extra super duper dumb. (Women's MITB final spot).

Lashley is so giant. If he does face Oldberg at Summerslam, he should squash him. Lashley is bigger now than Goldberg ever was.

I always thought that Justin Roberts was a pretty annoying ring announcer.

This guy seems like he's a 90% match to Justin Roberts.

When you do an impressive deadlift on someone and then execute a standard suplex...your opponent just feels the impact of a standard suplex. A standard suplex hasn't finished a WWE/WWF match since the early 80s. Naturally they try to sell it as a near-fall here.

Like with the handspring back elbow, WWE always has this disconnect where fans are supposed to believe that a move is more impactful if it required a greater physical feat.

Live crowds are back, and so are finisher kickouts.

I'm shocked to find out that wrestling fans still need to come ask me for lessons on what to chant and when to chant it.

I assume it's just me, but anyone else have trouble with their feed cutting in and out?

It's not just you. It's unwatchable. I checked Twitter trending about this show and everyone is having a terrible time with the stream. I turned it off rather than continuing to deal with the glitchfest.

While that sucks for the world at large, it does comfort me that it's not my internet.

Wonderful that it's happening now, on the only match I wanted to watch.

I switched from watching on Xbox to roku and it's working.

Not sure if that's coincidence and they just fixed it or what.

Meltzer just tweeted that WWE told him to tell everyone to log out and log back in. FWIW

What in the ****

Drew McIntyre leads a "3-2-1" countdown before attempting that move? Somehow that out-dumbs Shawn Michaels stomping in the corner before a superkick.

Alright, glad I didn't actually shut it off at that stupid Ricochet spot.

I'm super happy for Big E.

Didn’t like the last spot tho . Dropping yourself off the ladder to slam someone seems like a dumb idea .

I sort of agree, though I think it’s defensible if he didn’t (kayfabe) see a clear way to get him out of the picture for a long enough time otherwise.

Mostly just really happy to see Big E’s singles push ramping up further.

So what's the deal with Paul Heyman; does he just transition to the next champ along with the belt?

Like, he's attached to the belt and so if you win he walks out with you too?

Was Big E not the favorite to win MITB? I rarely watch but I figured he’d win
