CM Punk in the ladder match? That means it must be Lesnar v Punk at Summerslam. I'm gonna mark out so god damn hard for that match.

WWE continue their run of good shows. Stoked, almost fell off watching in the lead up to Payback. Utter dross that was.

They are really building the Wyatt family huh? Ending the show with the commentators saying they're coming next week. Never seen them on NXT, but the promos have me excited.

I'm liking near everything about the 'E at the moment. Hope it runs into Summerslam.

Reports I received lead me to believe this was a run of the mill show. Guess I'll hear what Meltz has to say about it.

Really looking forward to the Wyatt Family. Luke Harper (Brandon Lee) was one of the better prospects on the Indy scene and I think this is a great vehicle to get him over. Wyatt is also a unique competitor and appears to buck the trend of bad second generation wrestlers. Can't say the same about his brother.

I've been laying off the reviews and such lately. Always burns me out of enthusiasm.

Maybe i'm just super optimistic because my favorites are back. That was a long ass month without Mark Henry, Ziggler or CM Punk.

Looked pretty 'meh' to me. The opening segment was somewhat interesting, but that was about it. The AJ/Kaitlyn feud went from promising to awful and cliched pretty quickly.

Nah, downloaded it. Skipped through all the usual wwe app ads and recaps. I prefer it that way, they waste so much time. Not a fan of watching raw live, just kills me with the ads.

But I've been staying away from almost all spoilers, so it's been fairly surprising.

Only thing I'm keeping up with is potential summerslam plans. I either love it, or detest it, depending on what the truth is I've been seeing.

:lol: nice.

Meltzer believes the decision to feature Sting in that promotional feature was based on the reflection of their current status with him. Both parties are open to working together.

Unsure if I would want to see Sting in the WWE at this stage. Still a world class talker but he's 50+ years old and it's really starting to show.

Paired with the right guys he can still have a more than passable match. His recent match with Bully Ray is a good example of booking to his strengths (and weaknesses).

I'd like to see him face off with Cena, Punk, and maybe Undertaker. The Wyatts seem like a logical foil for him too.

I don't think we will ever see Sting in a WWE ring. He has had multiple opportunities to do so over the years, and has remained with either WCW or TNA. I reckon he will retire as a TNA wrestler.

I'd hate to see a streak match wasted on Sting.

I can just see Sting's WWE run turning out to be nothing more than a disappointment. Fans would be expecting him to work his trademark power/up tempo style and instead he'd be working like Vince McMahon circa Attitude era. Sure, it delivers the odd solid PPV main but fans expect much better after years and years of anticipation.

I can actually see them putting the belt on Bryan and then having Orton cash in immediately after the epic match to complete his heel turn and segue into an Orton/Bryan feud.

I hate cena as much as the next person but he played it perfectly announcing Bryan as his opponent for summerslam.
