Totally agree. He could be buried this time next year sadly

It's weird how they book him.... Wins and losses matter, had Undertaker lost every big feud in his first 3 years he wouldn't have lasted 3 years....they should have left him on Smackdown as Champion, booked him to win more & speak less....

That Miz and Dean Ambrose as joint general managers was probably the most ridiculous thing they've ever done.

Just been told why this happened.

Basically the whole show was going to be around Strowman. But he's knackered his elbow and they literally found this out minutes before the show. So came up with that awful idea instead.

Wrastling.

Rating have been so so low for both Raw and Smackdown recently that they've already asked Cena to cut short his movie (LOLOLOL) hiatus as he guarantees viewers. Expect him to be on the July 4th holiday Smackdown.

Don't worry Vince, here I come to save the show.

It's their own fault really..... They build Wrestlemania season around part timers and ex stars like Taker, HHH, Lesnar, Goldberg, Sting, Rock, Shane McMahon, Bautista and bury the current roster in the process....Now it's May, and none of these 'Top guys' are around, so why should people continue to watch it?...
Until they build wrestlemania around these guys (even if it means taking a hit for a couple of years), casual fans won't care about this new generation...

So how does this work then? Do they rehearse all the fighting first? Looks pretty scripted to me!

Effectively yes, they work out the bulk of the match with verious staff backstage (after the booker aka the boss says what result he wants and how he wants it to happen) and practice before they start working the match on house shows (non-televised shows for the fans in the arena) to see what works well and what doesn't before they 'perfect it' (supposedly) for tv and PPV's.

I would love to know if anyone has won a match by "accident" they were not suppose to win in the storyline,ie the ref counted to quick or one of the wrestlers didnt get there arm up fast enough,to above as said,things are worked out before hand and some of the matches go on crowd reaction as they would need some memory, to memorise the sequence of what move is next if the match goes on for over 20mins etc,if they cant hear each other etc,some of the moves are very real, and dangerous even when they know what is comming next etc,

Think a few accident wins have definitely happened mate. Give me a bit to think of them.

@Mikey_Fitzgerald probably knows them.

It does happen occasionally..... Bob Holly won the Hardcore title at Wrestlemania when Crash Holly forgot to kick out at 2....Have heard JBL talk about being pinned at Survivor Series when he was supposed to go over.... And Slightly different but, Steve Austin got elimination early from a Royal Rumble when his hands sipped off the ropes.... Also Dave Bautista managed to get himself eliminated from the Rumble with Cena when he was supposed to win, so they had to restart the match (which is more hilarious because Vince had to come from backstage and tore both quads getting into the ring).....

I'm sure Victoria won the women's title once when whoever was the champ forgot to kick out

I remember Gangrel aka David William Heath (who is actually an Evertonian!) winning the European Championship from X-Pac by accident. X-Pac took a bad knock to the head and didn't kick out when he should of. If I remember correctly they made Gangrel lose it back the next night (or the first televised show after that).

Strowman out 6 months apparently
