THESE FONTS ARE KILLING ME.

Pick one out of the three right now. Or tell me that they all suck.

I'm definitely digging this one.

This one but centre the text? That Rubix being a .gif would be cool too.

@turboman: second one because the W looks like the AWA logo

TNA Impact chat followed by a viewing of NXT tonight?

Edit: Nvm. I'd much rather watch Spookin with Scoops

Main Event Spoilers for 7/31:

Holy shit! Wade Barrett won a match!

Smackdown Cliffsnotes for 8/2:

Don't know if it's true, but one report said that the announcers were Michael Cole and Alex Riley.

yea this is my favorite

Holy shit, I honestly can't believe Christian is number 1 contender.

All this actually entertaining sounding Smackdown stuff lately has me super excited to see it in Rockford, IL on August 6th. And the commercial billed a match with all of The Shield vs. a team with RVD on it for what it's worth.

Yay, first wresting show ever and in the third row!

@doesitoffendyou_yeah: Well, he has been on a serious roll since his comeback.

The only thing I can complain about this weeks NXT is that the Paige vs Emma match should have been the main event.

.

@damswedon: Yep but still, that Harper/Sheamus match was pretty boss.

If we have to trade seeing Sara Del Rey wrestle again for a generation of women wrestlers like that...I mean, I guess that's a fair trade off...

Let's not forget about that amazing Zeb/Cesaro promo

Zeb KNOWS about Sami Zayn's mysterious past!

It actually makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Orton can't be #1 contender since he already has the briefcase. I don't see them putting him under Del Rio or having him with the title and have the case either. RVD is still too new to lose on PPV this early in his run, and can't win the title because he is only part time. So Christian is the only logical choice of the three, even if he has no chance of winning the title.

@papercut: Where? I can't find it anywhere.

@bennym6: I can't find it anywhere by itself but it was right after the NXT Women's Title match on this weeks episode.

I watched this week's TNA because I wanted to watch Trent? in that Ultimate X match or whatever

I miss Samoa Joe

:(

@demoskinos: @williamhenry: I think it's more the memories of his tragic reigns back when Edge retired. I just never really believed that they took Christian seriously as main eventer, so I'm quite surprised. Of course, it makes logical sense given who was in the triple threat No.1 contender's match. But I expected either Ziggler, Big Show face return, hell, even a Ziggler/Big E/Del Rio triple threat rather than a fresh feud with Christian.

Also, Tyler Breeze is amazing and I can't wait to see where it goes next.

I haven't listened to AOW in forever but I saw the latest episode was with Robert Evans so I had to listen. As expected, he was a delight and exactly how you would expect him to be.

I don't think it was ever mentioned here, but RVD is going to be in Saint Row 4.

Screw Stone Cold, this s the AOW I need to listen to.

@drx25: He was in the third one.

What was he in the third one?

http://i.minus.com/iA727GGt7wEXx.gif - I have no idea how to embed gifs from a URL, but this makes me happy.

He is Bobby one of the commentators for the Genki, and Murderbowl stuff. He claims to have been one of Shaundi's old boyfriends.

He was one of the hosts on Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax

i think that if christian wins hes not keeping that belt long. the wwe probably does not want Del Rio to be the victim of 2 consecutive cash ins and if sandow is going to be a big heel he is going to need to cash it in against a face,but not a big one ...aka Christian

@damswedon said:

And that explains why my eyes glazed over when people mentioned that RVD was in SR3. Completely forgot that was ever a thing.

@lord_canti: I don't see Sandow cashing in his MITB for a long time though.

weird... the AOW with Robert Evans was the one that brought me back to the podcast too. It was kind of weird how down on himself he was, since I think he's in the same league as Colt Cabana. Interesting notes were how he got into ROH/moved to philidelphia (The MITB match at the local promotion was a great story) and that he's keeping Kayfabe alive. Also it seemed that both of them veered far away from talking about Chikara at all.

@turboman: Has Robert Evans ever wrestled for Chikara? or is it only Archibald Peck that has?

I watched it last Thursday but MAN was that Emma-Paige good. Finest women's wrestling I've seen from the WWE in years.

He's represented Archibald Peck as legal council before but he's never actually wrestled for Chikara.

anybody else wanna suffer together for Total Divas tonight?

@turboman: Ah god damn it I would've but I've been busy all day and totally forgot it was on. Can't find a stream online either, for some reason firstrow isn't streaming it. Monsters.

Impressions of Total Divas:

• Really not afraid of saying "planned" "rehearsed" etc., but also tries to make up actual beefs between people... really weird to watch.
• The cuts are insanely fast... there aren't many scenes that breathe and you go from location to location lightning quick.
• Natalya and Naomi are the only two that seem like real people.
• Brodus Clay vs. Vincent for WM 30.
• There was a scene where The Funkadactyls outfits weren't ready on time for Wrestlemania! Even though the show explained that they had dress rehearsals the day before.
• The two newbies are the absolute worst.
• "We know what we're doing" - Divas Talent Relationship Lady

I want there to be a male version of total divas show and call it "Totally Divas". This was hilarious to watch. The way Cena dodged the marriage question by one of the twins was great. "Marriage? Pssssshhhh. Baby you know you are the only one who I would go out fishing with while its raining". I was actually surprised to see Cena not wearing his merch clothes while hanging out with the implants Bella twin. Also, I want Cena's music to hit every time he shows up on screen.

This show is basically dirt sheets coming alive and being broadcasted on T.V. There is a good deal of truth and falsity mixed up to create the maximum amount of drama. The only downside is that the cast isn't as interesting as it could have been. If this does good numbers maybe WWE would consider doing a spinoff with male wrestlers, as I suggested before. Here's hoping.

I realised today that if Cena came out to his old theme I would probably stop hating him for a week or two.

Hmm... the TNA TV tapings happening 2 blocks away from my house will have Bully Ray vs. Chris Sabin in a steel cage match...

might as well see if I could get in super cheap.

just started watching total divas and i may not be able to stand 43 min of this but one of the funkadactyls getting marred to a uso makes the usos getting a push a WHOLE lot more sense especially as it was going into the ppv just before this aired

-edit- god dam it i just realized that summerslam is revolving around the people on this show, danial bryan vs john cena and probably usos vs shield. money on one of the bellas/natalya/a funkadactyl will be wrestling aj.

@lord_canti: If it makes you feel any better, the dirt sheets are saying that Shield vs Usos/Henry was never planned for SummerSlam and the segment last week was a stopgap as the actual SummerSlam match is The Shield vs Mark Henry and Big Show, AJ is going to be focused on Ziggler/Big E and there's no Divas match planned for SS.

Spoiler for Raw:

Kharma has been mentioning stuff about coming back to TV on her twitter account. I would like to take this opportunity to make a wild prediction that she will be brought in as Ziggler's new bodyguard to deal with AJ.

If my last place finish in the MITB predictions is any indication, then I will be dead on

So Raw is pretaped tonight, but if anyone is still interested in giving it a watch, I'm gonna throw up a chat. Maybe it will be secretly amazing!

...not gonna bank on that one

Chat chat chat!

We doing a pre-taped Raw chat tonight?

Ha, Vince McMahon is still the best heel.

I watched Total Divas and here is a recap. Brie Bella is hot. Cameron is the worst and this is reflected in her boyfriend. Glad to see Jimmy Uso actually getting TV time. When Cena isn't PG tryharding he can be quite funny, but he also comes across as a real slimeball. The lack Brodus Clay during Cameron's hissy fit was telling (it's bullshit). Eva Marie or whatever is hot but seems like a total bitch. Jo Jo is DELIGHTFUL.

See you next, Total Divas weekly discussion thread.

Dazz 16 says **** my ****ty internet >_>

The mod(s) has told me that if the rest of us are fine with it, then we can lock up this old thread and start a newer, younger thread. So are we ok with this decision? Can I get a quick confirmation from everyone?

If so, then goodbye, you magnificent son of a bitch. RIP "Latest PPV and Weekly Show Discussion Thread" 2011-2013.

@turboman: I dunno what is there really to gain with that maaan we gotta keep the legacy going or well that is at least my vote if it matters at all.

Wait what? Why?
