At least it means Ambrose/Rollins will be great at Summerslam

Really good wrestlers don't need titles to prove how good they are. Jake the Snake Roberts never won a title in WWE during his entire tenure. I'm just saying belts don't mean all that much any longer, whether that's a good thing or a bad one. It's the same as last month when I said it didn't mean much that Cena was a 15-time champ.

I don't want to start the John Cena argument again, but I will say how little belts you have is different than breaking a record. That's all I'll say on that.

As for not needing the belts to mean you're good, obviously not, but you do need belts sometimes to help establish yourself. Especially tag teams.

If you're a tag team that can't win the belts, ever, it's hard to keep that team together or look anything more than an enhancement team.

I'd also like to point out Jake came from an era when it was common for wrestlers not to win belts, and those who did might have them for years.

Sometimes they bore me. These matches are quite good though.



As I told Drew I didn't really mean they were lame in that sense, but I'd hardly call them one of the best acts. They have very little charisma.

I don't know about that man. They still aren't great(but have improved)on the mic still but I'd say they're high on charisma.

They're not Rock or Stone Cold...but they're far from having no charisma.

The crowd is always hot for them and that shows that what they're doing is translating to the crowd .

If that's not charisma I don't know what is.

AJ better win this

 

[Smart Marx]

They better give these two some time. I don't want to see a Raw length squash tonight. I'm looking forward to this.

Fuck off chanting CM Punk you cretins

 

[Smart Marx]

Damn that green shirt is sexy as all hell.

Sigh, every month its the same pointless argument about stupid shit like electroplate belts that don't mean anything in the grand scheme of things. I fully expect more complaining (not necessarily from here mind you) if Reigns doesn't win tonight.

Eh, what can you do? Enjoy the show is my motto, don't let who wins or loses get in the way of that enjoyment and you'll feel a whole lot better about it.

Unless Kane wins the title tonight. If that happens, I'll join everyone in the bitching. :

The crowd can react to whatever it wants, doesn't mean they have charisma.

Maybe they have a little, but I don't really have a sense for who their character is supposed to be, especially has individuals.

I've never watched one of their matches and been like "damn, I love these guys." It could just be me, I'm not too worried about it. I'm not hating on them or anything.

 

[Lover Boy]

I really can't stand Paige

 

[Fuji Vice]

LOL, love how they're shocked that someone finally did the obvious counter to AJ's silly submission move.

SHADES OF GREGORY HELMS PICKS UP THE WIN

Um, not really arguing. It's not that big of a deal that they didn't win, just made a statement that it made sense that would win tonight. That's all.

Although I can't see how the belts don't "mean anything" when they are what drives the whole show.

There wouldn't be a point to building to main events if it's like "meh" I don't need that belt.

Lastly it's not who wins or doesn't win the belts that gets under my crawl, it's the recognition Cena will get for having that over everyone else.

But again, I've made my peace with it, so we don't need to have an argument over it. This Wyatt thing was supposed to be separate and not even that big of deal. :

AJ's submission rules!

AJ retains. Solid divas match.
