He needs a smooth talking slimy manager in the vein of a Dibiase

Agreed.

Is Randy Orton the leanest looking 290 lbs. wrestler ever? Either that or his listed weight is complete BS.

Its BS, I'd peg him at 265

Now the crowd is in obnoxious territory imo

Man, Michael Cole is really good today. Never thought I'd see the day that I would openly praise his commentary.

It's like they've defaulted to nonsense chanting and BS instead of investing in Gunther's big moment. SMDH

And I don't mean that German is a 'nonsense language' by the way. Just that you can engage with the match by cheering and booing the talent, instead of doing chants in your native tongue (throughout the match).

See, like how they are getting into it presently.

And doing the wave.
Its been better since Orton started dipping into the Viper and playing it a bit as a vicious heel. But Randy doing the wave and clapping with the fans was bad

I think he was mocking them, TBH. Randy - for as much **** as the IWC gives him - has a great, old school mind/mentality for the industry.

He probably finds all that needless chanting as stupid too.

Charles Robinson letting Randy get away with a lot. [emoji38]

That was an old school match. Good stuff

And kudos to Randy for putting over the young guy clean. Thats been my biggest gripe with the older generation these past years.

That's one big thing I've respected about Orton and Cena more recently. They've both done a lot to put their ego to the side (hmmm....looking at you Undertaker, Stone Cold & Rocky) and putting the next generation over. It hasn't always landed (Austin Theory so far) but the intent was a good one.

Has Orton ever hit an RKO after doing that mat pound thing he does? His success rate seems to be about the same as Flair's when he climbs to the top rope.

Or when HBK would tune up the band for the first time, unless it was against a jobber lol.

After that mixed tag match, now more than ever do I want WWE to bring back Mixed Match Challenge. That was a fun match, you had the usual interference by the Judgment Day and it still wasn't enough.

Judgment Day War Games?

Finn, JD, Carlito and Dirty Dom vs Damian, Jey, Sami and....... R-Truth. They teased Jey & Sami going for the tag titles so I imagine that's where they would get involved. Plus you can have Dom or Finn cost Jey in the IC Title tournament to really get things going.

Strong disagree here. It worked tonight because of the dynamic and buildup that went into it. Take that away and what we are left with is a mess. Normal tag matches have enough problems with flow and pacing (does anyone ever put a tag match in their list of best matches of all time?) and throwing in the rules of mixed genders multiplies that challenge.

Good PLE overall.

No match result surprised me. I know some didn't like the crowd, but I love crowds like this. I'll take these crowds any day over the Corpus Christi "sitting on their hands" crowds or the "usa, usa, usa" and "what?" crowds.

Nah. The one where JD teamed with McIntyre made sense because JD had common enemies. This time it's only JD against Priest.
