I imagine it'll be like The Beast in the East and you'll get an NXT title match. Finn versus Joe perhaps? Title contenders are kind of thin on the ground at the moment, huh?

You know, I was wondering about this....


As in would they want to give the NXT title the rub of being defended in MSG, or would it not be a part?

Maybe have a special contender like Cesaro, or a "champions match" with Neville and KO or...



Yea, maybe just Samoa Joe.



Either way, putting over their biggest future star on a live special from MSG is a solid idea.

Most of the MSG card line-up has been released. I don't think you're going to like it very much...

Spoiler

WWE announced over the weekend that the upcoming live event from Madison Square Garden on October 3rd will be broadcast live on the WWE Network.

Brock Lesnar's opponent on the show will be none other than the man he destroyed on Monday's RAW - Bo Dallas.

Other top matches advertised for the show (card subject to change) include:

WWE World Heavyweight & US Champion Seth Rollins vs. John Cena
Randy Orton vs. Sheamus
Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev
Kevin Owens vs. Cesaro

Plus, Chris Jericho will be in action.

No mention of an NXT Title fight (although of course it could be added), but right now it's just looking like a night of Summerslam rematches and a Lesnar squash.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Hmmmm. Me thinks some changes get made since they decided to air it on the network

That's what we said about Tokyo too, wasn't it? And all they did was switch Jericho's match so the NXT Title could be defended.

Reigns Vs BS, Extreme Rules

This morning was my first rewatch of Reigns versus Show. It might have been better to end it on the spear through the announce table bit still, surprise of the year right there, no?

 

[klunderbunker]

Today or tomorrow?

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Guess that sums that up

Midnightish work man?

Not really in this case actually as I've been hitting the hay earlier this week. I can try but a bit earlier would help a lot if possible.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Ill keep ya updated

 

[klunderbunker]

Noted. I can swing midnight if that's the only time you've got.

 

[NSL]

Yea, maybe just Samoa Joe.

Y'know, I've thought about this...And when I was a TNA fan, I always pictured Samoa Joe coming to WWE. But, seeing they're doing a show at MSG, I don't see him as a fit there.

He's a headliner in any small venue they ever go to. Scranton, Des Moines, Gary...But not MSG.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Funny we just talked about this on the show, then on raw they practically plaster on a fucking billboard that major changes are coming for rollins.



Im glad the right thing is gonna happen, but holy shit, a little bit on the nose. They may as well have posted fuckin flyers.

LIke I said in the why do I watch NXT thread:

NXT respects you for being a wrestling fan but if you watch WWE, they treat you like an idiot who can't handle anything not spelled out for you.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

So, my best case scenario for this, is


Rollins beats Trips at Survivor Series, the authority hurts him and puts him on the shelf the next night on RAW, then he returns to win the Royal Rumble (preferabley to take the belt off the Authority chosen golden boy, Roman Reigns or the MITB cashed in Sheamus)


The last part is easily wishful thinking, but the rest is the best way to go.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Did Nikki Bella straight up say "wins and losses don't matter" in a promo???





I pared RAW down to the promo segments, the Braun Stroman match (which was fuck-awesome) the Cesaro-Owens match and the closing segment

Yes. And then they sit around wondering why the Divas Revolution isn't working. I really, really wanted to bring this up on the last show but we ran so long I didn't get a chance.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Did you see the Stroman match? Great job by both guys.

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh yeah. That was straight out of the old Giant playbook. Just raw power and no selling.

More on about Ambrose and Reigns bumping like they were getting killed in a fucking horror movie. Fantastic.


Also his voice was awesome.

 

[klunderbunker]

Indeed. The chair to the back having no effect was a flashback to Zeus. Granted a much more awesome version. Ambrose getting rag dolled was a sight to see too.

 

[NSL]

I hardly call 87 minutes as "so long". My favorites so far are the longest ones.

 

[justinsayne]

Did you see Jericho/Owens has been added to the MSG show?

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Due to some unexpected family issues, the podcast unfortunately will be suspended until about Halloween.

Im alright, its just resulted in a situation were I will be living at a hospital until around then.

Damn that sucks. Glad to hear you're okay, and hope everyone else is, or will be soon enough.
