Metal Sludge Gossip Board

I was in and out of sleep throughout the entire PPV (not a knock on the ppv, I was just exhausted lol)

As over as Rusev is I still had a feeling he wouldn't win the belt with the new video game coming out with AJ on the cover.

I have hated this Braun/Owens feud, despite Owens doing everything he can to keep it fun but the Cage match last night I did like. I just still think it sucks that Braun won Money In The Bank. He's fun but I think he's going to be a terrible champion with awful feuds. I hope I'm wrong.

I was surprised by the Hardy/Nakamura match too and was wondering if maybe Hardy is injured again and that's why they did that? Either way, I'm glad Nakamura has a belt. I felt he should have been the one to beat AJ.

I love Ziggler and Rollins but I feel like a 30 minute iron man match is kind of dumb. Most of Rollins' matches these days are 30 minutes anyway, including all of his recent matches with Ziggler. So on any other night these guys get 1 pinfall after 30 minutes, but last night they're pinning each other every 30 seconds. I don't know, it just seemed silly. But my diehard Wrestling days were back when Bret Hart did 60 Minute Iron Man Matches so what do I know?

Everything else I pretty much slept through but I'm glad Alexa kept the belt, even though she's just going to drop it to Rousey.

I was a little surprised they didn't give the tag belts to Kane and Bryan but maybe they're saving that for a SummerSlam moment.

I love that Curtis and Bo are finally getting a push but I'm not sure if I'm completely on board with how and the direction yet, but I agree that hopefully now Bray can go back to being Bray and maybe get a proper push after all of this time.

Last week's RAW had the lowest amount of viewers of all time.
ALL TIME!!:

Well deserved.

First ever all-women PPV? I'm not so sure what to make of this, actual wrestling-wise. Should make for excellent spank bank material, though.

I didn’t get the PPV but have been pleasantly surprised with the weekly show. Although I don’t care for OVE and Sammi Callihan. Austin Aires is ok but he’s got to have the worst case of Napoleon syndrome I’ve ever seen. Surprised they didn’t give the belt to Moose. I thought for sure they were hitching their cart to him.

TNA's the only one I still follow. I always thought they were above WWE but they definitely got out of a hole lately.

"First ever", except for hundreds from SHIMMER, SHINE, TNA, not even counting Mexico and Japan. Nothing wrong with that unless you sign mostly garbage like WWE.

Elias is $$$$$!
His cd already more successful than any Fozzy cd ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

One reason the product sucks anymore & ratings are as low as they are.

Double dose of sad news, as both Nikolai Volkoff and Jerry Lawler's kid Brian "Grandmaster Sexay" Christopher both just kicked the bucket. Apparently BC's been in trouble on and off for some time now and hung himself in jail after being arrested. The article says he was hospitalized and on death's door pretty much, so he's most likely passed now. No word on how Nikolai passed--probably old age finally got to him.

Imagine seeing Nikolia sing Russian National anthem and thinking WWF was real? that was me..I thought that was
maybe coolest thing in wwf..him and Iron Shiek true real life superhero’s!
I’m sad about news but extremely happy about him..a true icon in the world and my awesome wwf/wwe life

What a shit day to be a wrestling fan R.I.P. Volkoff, Lawler and Brown

Shitty day for sure.

Sheik and Volkoff were a great team in 84-85 i remember cheering for them when they feuded with the bland Rotundo and Whindam US express, had the chance to meet Brian Christopher many times looking at my autographs listing i have six of his he was a fun character for sure

Brickhouse Brown never had a big run but i remember him well from all the magazines i use to buy back in the day

RIP

Great memories of Volkoff/Sheik with Blassie in their corner vs the US Express. By all accounts a great guy. RIP

I had heard of Brickhouse Brown, but don’t think I ever saw him wrestle. RIP

I feel terrible for Jerry Lawler. Brian was clearly a troubled guy. So sad to go so young. RIP as well.

Volkoff and Sheik were so good in their roles. The fans legit hated them back in the day.

Brian Christopher, just a sad situation all around. I feel terrible for Jerry Lawler.

I admit that I had to google Brickhouse Brown.

Kane is now the BIg Red Mayor of Knox County Tennessee:

Things are really coming together for the All In event. Should be a pretty good show.

PAUL HEYMAN

Awhile back I remember talking about the Miz and John Morrison and where their careers have gone since they split up as a tag team.

Caustic Queen made a good statement for Morrison. Well a few months back I upped my cable package to where I now how the El Ray network and I got to say Lucha Underground is a fun show to watch. Although the pops every time they kick somebody is a bit much.

When I’m wrong I’m wrong and I have to say even though he went in a different direction he ain’t half bad and his wife is a badass too.

With the way the show runs I got to think that might have had some ideas put in Matt Hardy’s mind while he was in Impact.

And before anyone else says it yes it fucking sucks and is stupid in the WWE.

The only thing I wish I could get is the AXS channel so I could watch NJPW.

Although I have to say I don’t see what’s the big deal about the Young Bucks.

PAUL HEYMAN

And yes that promo he gave on Monday night was a grand slam. I almost hope Brock takes the belt with him to the UFC. It should be Lesnar vs. Lashley anyway.

You can tell that McMahon owns this shit and we have to watch what he wants.

If there was another Monday Night War going on they would have had no choice but to move away from Reigns.

Nothing against the guy really he’s not a bad wrestler for the most part but Goddamn enough is enough.

I've been sick all week so it gave me a chance catch up on the last few weeks of RAW.

What do you all think the swerve is going to be with Lesnar/Reigns? Is Heyman going to turn on Lesnar to help Reigns? Will someone else interfere? Will Braun or (God willing) Owens Cash in? Or do you think it's going to be Lesnar taking the belt to UFC with him?

How do you have few weeks of Raw to watch..do you record NFL games also and watch them weeks later

What ever happens just as long KO doesnt have belt for Australia event that’s what really matters..Cena leaving with belt and useless record is what we all fear.

Vince would love Universal Champ being UFC Champ.. I would like that. Then lose belt at Survivor Series that isn’t Roman

A non WWE wrestling event at the Garden?!

Wonder if Vince gave his blessing?

Nothing to do with Vince blessing
MSG felt all of big wwe events were at Barclays now. So they went with this so called big ROH garbage.
Took biggest event of year for them to get booked at MSG night before 80,000 for Mania and 4 soldout nights at Barclays for Hall of Fame, NXT, Raw, Smackdown

I sort of see what you're trying to say but not really...I record RAW every Monday now because i have a weekly gig every Monday night. I don't read any sites and avoid spoilers as much as possible. Then I fast forward through 65% of the show and watch the few segments worth a damn lol

What a stupid fucking comment. Get a clue.

Dammit! Looks like Jim Neidhart beat Aretha to the punch with this whole dying thing. RIP, Anvil... No doubt Natty's grieving right now, too:
