Little Jimmy time was awesome, showed his range. But I think Truth is really a little crazy, otherwise he could easily take a role like Junkyard dog and they simply do not trust him.

What and why don't they trust Truth? Has he had issues in the past or something?

 

[Duffman]

I know he can't travel to Canada or Europe because of a felony conviction so maybe that's why they don't want to put him a bigger role.

 

[wazzu31]

Obviously I'm not a normal WWE poster but WTF did he do that he can't go to Canada? They f*ck their cousins and pay their mayors to snort coke and use money with someone else's authorities face on it. The most ass backwards country I've ever been too and he can't go there? Must of f*cked a white girl up there or something?

If you are convicted of a felony in the US you aren't allowed to travel outside the country, so it's not just Canada he can't go anywhere not on US soil.

My bad, read that post completely wrong. Well damn, dumb on the WWE's part for even allowing Truth to get a crowd pop. He needs to be the US champion with a real US open challenge, I'm sorry everyone except Cesaro that has challenged Cena has been boring as hell. Let Truth have it and challenge anyone and if he gets beat he can just steal it from him like he did with the IC title.

interesting thought....When was the last time Vince McMahon pushed an African-American?

Booker T was the last time I recall. And even then he eventually got buried by Triple H.

 

[Duffman]

If you mean like pushed all the way into the world title picture then that would probably be Bobby Lashley back in 08 I believe. Vince was practically in love the with guy and was setting to be a huge babyface run and a World title win before he up and quit out of no where.

Looks like Owens will be taking the US title off of Cena very soon.

It's the right move. They've had a great feud. Owens walking away with the belt would go along way with making him a bankable talent. And Cena can easily take the loss and go straight into a ME program and no one would bat an eye.

They might have sowed some seeds last week but I'd love to see Owens and Cesaro feud for a month or so over the US belt. Those two can put on some great matches

 

[futballiscool]

Cesaro should be at or near the top of the card for the next 5 years

 

[wildturkey]

That Cadillac held up a lot better than I expected.

 

[anotheridiot]

I was expecting Owens to interfere much earlier in that match, but the way Cena and Cesaro were performing they probably held him back behind the jumbotron.

Cena needs to give up on that springboard stunner though.

 

[CodeBreaker]

I'm glad Brock has been more active these recent months compared to times before Wrestlemania. Wish they continue this one.

 

[anotheridiot]

pretty nice use of the crutch by Rusev on Ziggler, even though Rusev should just be able to pound Ziggler thru the mat. Guess its a few weeks of Ziggler not being able to talk, gotta wonder if they are second guessing the whole Lana turn. Maybe they didnt like how she cat fought with sunny.

Whats with this third bella bullshit? No doubt they want to write AJ out of the record books now.

Missed the Lesnar vs cadi, got lost in shark week thru the rest of the matches.

 

[Ewa PGH Fan]

Everyone knew that as soon as the cadi made it to Chi town it was getting bashed by Lesnar! The road trip at least was a new way to explain why the car was there for Lesnar to bash though.

I don't get what anyone sees in Owens, he doesn't entertain me at all. It's cool they were incorporating NXT on Raw but I just don't see how he can become a bankable talent unless he is working with John Cena his whole career.

Watch his ROH stuff. He's great in the ring with damn near anyone, surprisingly acrobatic for his size, and well rounded on the mic. He's the perfect bully heel and plays a good tough guy/rebel babyface

 

[futballiscool]

Apparently Owens is scheduled for his NXT title rematch at Barclays Center the night before Summerslam. I'd be surprised if he's a champion and he works both shows that weekend. Ideally Owens would win this feud, but I think the clean pin in the first match and the overall quality of the matches/feud has elevated him to a top tier guy. Plus I'm enjoying Cena's title reign so much I wouldn't mind if it goes for a full year

 

[anotheridiot]

I really dont know why they started him with Cena as his dance partner. Destroying lesser competition for a while before getting to Cena almost makes me think the Vince is tired of being asked for a chance and he is giving him enough rope to hang himself. Maybe they know Cena can carry a match and Owens cant so they have no choice but to put him in against Cena.

There are two sides to each coin, and both guys hitting their finishers many times over and not pinning the other guy also makes it seem like their finishers are not that much.

 

[Tubbs1518]

How anyone doesn't think Owens is amazing is beyond me. He is the next big thing.
