Yeah it's gonna be a one month trial run. It'll still be Orton vs AJ down the line. Probably SummerSlam

I said it at wrestlemania and I'll say it again. Neville is dangerous. He's going to get someone seriously hurt.

Not to mention his selling sucks. I was listening to the stone cold podcast earlier with Brian Kendrick and one thing they talked about was bad selling and it describe what Neville does perfectly.

He moved out of the way of austin's dive way too early. It looked like Austin was diving at nothing when I was watching

Yeah that spot looked horrible and the red arrow onto Aries back when he was rolling out of the way could've seriously injured Aries. I could be wrong but I thing Neville jumped too soon. People are sick of watching Aries vs Neville but Aries is probably the only cruiserweight besides Kendrick who can make Neville looks good and somewhat protect theirselves.

Yeah I was really hoping Aries would win.

The women's MITB was horrific, tag match was good, Lana shocked me and looked good in more ways than one and we have a Mike Bennett(Maria looks odd with her clothes actually on) sighting. Interested PPV thus far.

Simply put......the whole keeping Jinder Mahal as champion is a head scratcher to me.  I get that they are trying to amp their investment in India, but they are basically pushing a guy who was low to mid-carder at best (where they had him constantly losing) and they have him getting the title and retaining the title through outside interference.  Basically it seems like they want to try to have their cake and eat it too.....have him be a legitimate and illegitimate champion at the same time.  I'm not sure he's getting bought as a guy who deserved to get the strap put on him by people in the states.  Can't venture to what they are saying in India but have to think that on their end, seeing him win with interference involved probably doesn't have them viewing him as a 'good guy' so not sure how that really sells well there.

Anyway, I'll patiently wait for Kenny Omega to come over from Japan....hopefully it won't be that much longer before the WWE snatches him up.

^ Hopefully they don't pick Omega up. He won't be anything special in the WWE and needs to stay where he is.

I don't know that NJPW can afford him for long.  The company reported that their total revenue in 2015 was $21.5 million (American).  The same article reported that the highest paid wrestler in NJPW was Kuzichika Okada who makes $2.2 million per year....so they are already paying an amazing 10% of their revenue to one wrestler.  I know Omega just signed a contract, don't know the terms.

I could see Omega being a young Chris Jericho type if he were to come into the WWE now.  How many bad mic skill muscleheads do they need?  How many more Roman Reigns/Baron Corbin/Braun Strowman types can they try to push?  Omega has mic skills and a is a very good worker.  Maybe the WWE would misuse him if he were to come over -- they've done that with some guys that fit his strengths.....

Omega would be an interesting case.  He's got all the tools to be a top star.  You've already hit on him being a good worker and having good mic skills.  He's got the body control of Styles, but he's younger and bigger.  He's got a good look for the WWE.

His name is about as hot as it will ever be right now, so if the WWE bought his name they could make a fortune; which is really what the smart move would be as the fans may not latch on to a complete repacking although they could change his "Cleaner" gimmick.  They would have to book him right.  In NJPW his promos are believable and draw you in, how well that would translate to an environment as scripted as the WWE could be a question mark.

I read a couple of things on him -- sounds like NJPW contracts are now two year deals, so the extension he signed earlier in the year when his contract went up means he's probably not even eligible to come to the WWE for some time.  It makes sense from a NJPW perspective as their storylines tend to be much longer than the WWE's.  I also read a quote from him saying that he's pretty much tied to the Young Bucks -- that as long as they are in NJPW, he plans on staying.  I think they would be an asset to the WWE as well except for the fact that all of a sudden the tag team field in the WWE has gotten pretty crowded.  I do know that they just split up Enzo and Cass (which was probably a good move.....their act was geting stale).  Cass does have a future as a singles wrestler.  I kind of think they may be setting up an Enzo/Big Show tag team.
