So, Kyle. You are starting to like Jinder despite not liking his vague ethnic character or his in ring ability? What's left then? His offensively vague turban? This character is the worst. Kayfabe or otherwise. You routinely slips back into his Canadian accent when he's aggressively trying to sound foreign. No,

I am so with you on the golden truth botch. I was so looking forward to those guys getting a good run as a tagteam for once. They're both great characters and actually still pretty great in the ring if you ask me. they messed up bad with that one. The only way they could salvage it is by actually having them come

That Reigns win really pissed me off. Though I always prefer him to lose, they lost it makes him look vulnerable going into extreme rules give so much more to overcome if he actually wins that five way match ( though of course I hope he loses). But Vince is never interested in making him look vulnerable. He almost

Randy Orton is Roman Reigns before there was Roman Reigns. He's only as good as the stories written for him. He elevates absolutely nothing on his own. He has zero charisma and barely do anything other than a few moves. His Jinder Mahal match is going to be booed out of Rosemont, as Mahal equally blah fueled by a

Braun and Big Show was one of the best matches I have ever seen. I'm serious. It was just perfect. No coincidence that Roman Reigns wasn't there to ruin it.

First time I have EVER rooted for Roman Reigns and of course this is the one he loses. I'm so sick of New Day. They were fucking schooled by everyone tonight and they still came away with another bullshit win. If they lost it would have been so interesting, and would have given them a completely new fire in their

I want start a chant for whenever Kevin Owens tries to turn the crowd against despite the "You Deserve It" chants. "We. Still. Like. You" Clap clap clap clap clap. "We. Still. Like. You."

Ain't impressed by the Club either. They're stupid or cowardly rule breakers. When they jobbed out to the Uso's then still acted like they were badasses, I had a hard time taking them seriously. I'm basically skipping every main roster tag match these days. There hasn't been a great one since TLC.

And I hate to say it, but I'm just about done with New Day and Enzo and Cass. I thought E and C were just about perfect in NXT, maybe cause they weren't on every week and there schtick still felt relatively fresh. Now I'm like, whatever. I'm basically done with non-NXT tag teams. If they aren't fighting for gold, it

Good overall episode absolutely tainted by Reigns. Everything was so exciting and fun but him weaseling his way into the main event like that after all the story build of Rollins and Owens through out is ridiculous. And you know he's going to win next week because that "spear" is so damn infallible. Whatever. I would

Where is your review from last night's 8/29 show? I'm dying for it! This is not the one to skip! LaToya and/or Kyle, I NEED you!

I knew I should have used the word "burnt" instead. What else did my failure as a food metaphor get wrong?

But a Roman Reigns filet would manage to be fatty. That's my point. It would have things wrong with it that no other filets do!

I'm going to go overboard on the food analogies here. Finn Balor is like a beautiful piece of prime rib, cooked to perfection, ready to eat then. . . you trip over your cat, drop it in the litter box, then your other cat pisses all over it. The meat was perfect, but suddenly you can't eat it anymore. Reigns on the

Heath Slater sucks too! Not funny. Earned his bad booking.

Kyle, I rarely completely disagree with you on your always awesome analysis, but this week do I ever. Smackdown is still a sluggish dud, if you ask me. A story is only as good as its characters, and Eva Marie is painful to watch no matter how cleverly you write her in. Speaking of awful characters (or lack there of)

I pretty much can't stand anyone related to the Rock, other than maybe Nia Jaxx. Nepotism run amok. I was never a fan of the Rock either, honestly. Just like him as a movie star.

Exactly! Orton's an entitled wet blanket and that match is going to be a squash turkey. They should have given Brock Samoa Joe instead.

Good points overall, Kyle, but I think I liked this episode more than you did. I agree the first half was rough. I also hate rerun matches or variation matches. Neville should have chosen Balor or Zayn as his partner. That would have been way more fun. But I'm shocked you didn't discuss Rollins and Balor, whose

The camera work was magnificent! Charlotte mouthing "you'll never beat me" needs to be a meme yesterday. Same with Sasha waving to DB.
