BODY WAS TOO LONG EDITION NXT Champion Aleister Black vs. Lars Sullivan >With one swift and remarkably powerful kick, Aleister Black flattened every Superstar to cross his path on the way to becoming NXT Champion at TakeOver: New Orleans. Black’s nascent title reign, however, will be in jeopardy at TakeOver: Chicago when he defends the crown against a mammoth who is unlike anyone else he has faced, Lars Sullivan. >Sullivan made that exact, thunderous point when he ambushed the champion on the May 30 edition of NXT. As Black tried to fight off Sullivan, The Dutch Destroyer uncorked his great equalizer, the Black Mass spinning heel kick. Proving to be every bit as quick as he is powerful, Sullivan shockingly caught Black’s strike before dropping him with the Freak Accident. >The stunning scene was a rare example of Black being unable to decimate a foe with his signature move, and it sowed doubt that The Dutch Destroyer will have any better success against Sullivan when they clash for the title in The Windy City. What's more, Sullivan wrecked Black again on the June 13 edition of NXT, trouncing the champion with three emphatic Freak Accidents during a harrowing confrontation. >Has The Freak — who prides himself on being not only a physically intense juggernaut, but also a thinking-man’s competitor inside the ring — cracked the code of Black? Or will the equally dominant Dutch Destroyer find a way to drop the behemoth — with or without Black Mass — en route to retaining NXT’s top crown? >Don’t miss this collision between two of the black-and-yellow brand’s most feared Superstars when it goes down at NXT TakeOver: Chicago, streaming live tonight on WWE Network at 8 ET/5 PT! Johnny Gargano vs. Tommaso Ciampa (Chicago Street Fight) >Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa’s battles have rarely been contained by the ring, but that won’t be a concern at NXT TakeOver: Chicago — the site of #DIY’s unforgettable implosion — when the two bitter rivals square off in a Chicago Street Fight. >The former best friends have remained at each other’s throats since Johnny Wrestling defeated the psychotic Blackheart at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans in a classic, brutal Unsanctioned Match. Ciampa, who refused to accept the loss, savagely attacked Gargano weeks later, landing his nemesis in a medical facility and a neck brace. >From there, the self-ordained “Tommy Sports-Entertainment” created more grief for Gargano and his friends and family, most notably Johnny’s wife, Candice LeRae. Ciampa taunted LeRae in the aftermath of his heinous attack, and she even got caught in the crossfire when Gargano returned from his career-threatening injury to confront Ciampa (against LeRae’s wishes) when Ciampa sent Johnny Wrestling flying off the ring apron and into his wife. >LeRae doesn’t support the idea of Gargano competing in the Chicago Street Fight and continuing his war with Ciampa. When Gargano received the match contract, LeRae flatly told her husband that she is “done with this,” adding that the rivalry with Ciampa has turned Gargano into everything he despises. >What ramifications will Johnny Wrestling’s decision have on his career and his personal life? What type of mayhem is in store when Gargano and Ciampa collide in a lawless Chicago Street Fight in the same city that Ciampa betrayed Gargano one year ago? Perhaps most important of all, will Gargano still bolieve it was all worth it when the dust settles in Chicago?

WWE Raw preview, June 11, 2018: Roman Reigns accepts Jinder Mahal's challenge Live on Raw, Roman Reigns will accept Jinder Mahal’s challenge and the Team Red competitors in the Men’s and Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Matches will compete in Fatal 4-Way bouts to gain key momentum. Plus, Ronda Rousey and Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax will meet face-to-face! >Strowman, Bálor, Roode and Owens collide One week after Braun Strowman defeated Bobby Roode and Finn Bálor hit Kevin Owens with a breathtaking Coup de Grâce off a ladder, all four Superstars will meet in a Fatal 4-Way Match to seize momentum before the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. This confrontation will surely give the WWE Universe a taste of the mayhem that awaits when these four competitors face SmackDown LIVE’s The Miz, Samoa Joe, Rusev and a member of The New Day in a bout where a World Championship opportunity literally hangs in the balance. <Will Natalya and Alexa Bliss be able to compete in a Fatal 4-Way Match? On the same night Natalya suffered a knee injury during her bout against Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss also seemed to suffer a leg injury during the night’s Six-Woman Tag Team Match. Few details have been released regarding the condition of either The Queen of Harts or Little Miss Bliss, but both Superstars are nevertheless set to battle Sasha Banks and Ember Moon in a Fatal 4-Way Match on Raw. Who will prevail before all four women face Team Blue’s Naomi, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Lana in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match? <Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax meet face-to-face before their title clash Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax’s challenge to Ronda Rousey at the NBCUniversal Upfront last month was amicable enough. Since then, however, things have gotten downright tense between them, thanks in no small part to the pot-stirring machinations of Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon during their WWE Money in the Bank contract signing. One week after The Irresistible Force defeated the injured Natalya — Rousey’s longtime friend and training partner — Jax is set to meet The Baddest Woman on the Planet face-to-face on Raw. Will a brawl ensue as Rousey prepares for her first title opportunity in WWE? >Roman Reigns accepts Jinder Mahal’s challenge for a match this Monday on Raw Jinder Mahal & Elias stole a tag team win from Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins last Monday on Raw. Later in the night, The [LOUD BOOING] got a piece of The Modern Day Maharaja in a backstage encounter, and now it appears the WWE Universe won’t have to wait until WWE Money in the Bank to see the archrivals square off.

https://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/2018-06-12 Low effort OP with the show story just linked because fuck it. At this point, if the thread ends up with less than 100 replies by the time 205 finishes, I think the weekly show threads are going to turn into multi-week generals that last til posting limit, because it's really not worth making a new one each time with the show having fallen so far as to make everyone lose interest. 205 is slower with posting updates so no show preview until later.

We all know it was you again Sullivan http://archive.is/mcI7z http://archive.is/EYDj3 >Police were called to a home in West Goshen, PA this morning just after 6:30 am where authorities found 2 people dead and have confirmed it is being investigated as a murder-suicide. There was reportedly a shooting and police were called. >The local affiliates in Philadelphia are reporting that a husband and wife were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide on their Chester County home on Friday morning. Local authorities were called to the house at Isabel Lane and North Five Points Road, around 6:30 a.m to make the discovery. Their names were not included in the news reports but we have confirmed through his friends that, unfortunately, the dead bodies are of Rebel and his wife. >Rockin Rebel might be remembered for his time in early ECW. This is really a sad story and some people in the pro wrestling community are already sending their condolences to the family.

Yeah sure it's a week early, but I'm excited for the flippy shit tournament of the year and you should be too. Mostly good shit this time around although the prevalence of VOD shows does not give me hope for good quality video. Ishimori is probably winning? Maybe ospreay just to really push him to the moon. Ishimori is getting a pin on ospreay in the opening night for sure too. Also >putting Hiromu Dragon Lee on VOD >block finals and tourney finals are in kouraken Jesus gedo get your shit togehter.

Another Lifeless RAW Edition The Monster Among Men faces The Snorious One > As Bobby Roode learned when he absorbed an unexpected beatdown from Braun Strowman this past Monday night, it will be every man for himself in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, where eight Superstars from Raw and SmackDown LIVE collide for a chance to earn a World Championship opportunity at the time and place of their choosing. >But that’s WWE Money in the Bank. Monday on Raw, The Glorious One will stand across the ring from the goliath who calls himself “Monster Money in the Bank.” Who came up with that, jesus christ Can Roode leave Houston unscathed? Former Universal Champions lock up > Speaking of the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, two other competitors in that high-stakes contest will be in action when Finn "Just happy to be here" Bálor takes on Kevin Owens. >Owens inserted himself into this past Monday’s match pitting Bálor against Braun Strowman, and WWE’s first Universal Champion seemed primed to defeat The Monster Among Men until KO intervened and caused a disqualification. Retribution will surely be on the Irishman’s mind when he squares off against his bitter foe on Raw. Natalya stands up to Nia Jax >This past Monday night, Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax toyed with a local competitor to show Ronda Rousey the torment that awaits her in their title bout at WWE Money in the Bank, and when The Baddest Woman on the Planet confronted The Irresistible Force, Jax simply laughed in Rousey’s face and walked away — clearly unconvinced that the UFC veteran represents a true challenge in a WWE ring. >After witnessing Nia’s disrespect toward her longtime friend and training partner, Natalya will lock up with the cocky champion on Raw in Houston. Alexa was right Who will be next to challenge The DELETErs of Worlds? > After The B-Team’s barbecue devolved into a coleslaw-slinging melee, the frustrated duo approached Raw General Manager Kurt Angle to demand a Raw Tag Team Championship opportunity against “Woken” Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt. However, on the red brand, opportunities are earned, so on Raw in Houston, Curtis Axel & Bo Dallas will be among the participants of a Tag Team Battle Royal, in which the last team standing will be next in line to challenge Hardy & Wyatt for their titles.

>Get ready for something >That you've never known You've never seen anything like this before, and when you do it'll be a complete surprise to you >You won't see it coming >But I promise you'll know Basically, you don't know yet but you WILL know if you're unfortunate enough to encounter him. Even when I was 9 that's how I took his lyrics to mean. If anything the stupidest part is the "won't see it coming" line. Yeah, because no-one can see a 7ft 500lb bald dude in a loin cloth hurtling towards them.

Bingo Halls Edition Daniel Bryan and Samoa Joe to clash for final spot in Money in the Bank Ladder Match > After defeating Jeff Hardy last Tuesday, Daniel Bryan has earned the right to face longtime rival Samoa Joe in a battle for the final place in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. >The two engaged in countless hard-hitting battles on the independent circuit that became the stuff of legend during their tumultuous history that spans longer than a decade-and-a-half. However, The Beard and The Samoan Submission Machine eventually went on divergent career paths, with fans hoping they would once again cross paths inside the ring. When Joe joined WWE and signed with NXT in 2015, the door opened for his rivalry with Bryan to be renewed. However, it seemed to be shut forever when Bryan announced his retirement from competition in Feb. 2016. >But with Bryan returning to full-time competition this spring and Samoa Joe arriving to Team Blue in the Superstar Shake-up, this rivalry will no longer be a dream. Joe seemed eager to remind Bryan of the punishment that awaits him after Bryan’s victory over Hardy. How will the leader of The “Yes!” Movement counter Joe’s relentless offense? >What will happen when these longtime adversaries clash once again in a dream match the WWE Universe has been waiting for? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network! The New Day battle The Miz & The Bar in Six-Man Tag Team action > After a controversial ending to last week’s match between Big E and The Miz, The New Day will square off with The A-Lister and The Bar on SmackDown LIVE. >Big E had The Awesome One on the ropes last Tuesday until Sheamus and Cesaro made their presence felt, brawling with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, and the distraction allowed The Miz to steal the victory. >Will The New Day get payback, or will The Miz and The Bar once again have the upper hand? Is Carmella ready for Asuka? YES SHE IS > SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella has a date with destiny on June 17 at WWE Money in the Bank when she faces Asuka. >Despite facing tall odds against The Empress of Tomorrow, Carmella remains confident that she is not only better than Asuka, but ready to defeat her in Chicago. Will The Princess of Staten Island continue to boast this Tuesday?

Second Chance Edition > After failing to qualify for the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match in their first attempts, seven Superstars will clash in a Last Chance Women’s Money in the Bank Qualifying Gauntlet Match to attain the final Raw spot in the harrowing Ladder Match on Sunday, June 17. >The match will start with two Superstars in the ring, and a new Superstar will enter the bout whenever a competitor is defeated. The winner will be the last woman standing after all seven Superstars have entered the fray. >With all three members of The riotttttttttt Squad in this match, plus warring former best friends Booley and Sasha Banks, sparks are sure to fly. But don’t count out the veteran tenacity of Mickie James or the powerhouse offense of Dana Brooke. >With a “Money” opportunity on the line, these seven Superstars are sure to leave it all in the ring. Who will be the last woman standing? Tune in to Raw, live at 8/7 C on USA Network, to find out. The Kingslayer defends his title against The Modern Day Maharaja > Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns might have defeated Jinder Mahal and Kevin Owens this past Monday night on Raw, but they hardly looked like victors when the dust settled. Following the match, The Modern Day Maharaja lashed out with a steel chair barrage that felled both Shield brothers. >In the wake of that ferocious beatdown, The [LOUD BOOING] will have an opportunity for retribution when he meets Mahal one-on-one at WWE Money in the Bank. However, Rollins — ever the fighting champion — will be first to battle Mahal when he defends his workhorse title against the former WWE Champion this coming Monday night on Raw. >Can The Architect continue to build his legacy as one of the most impressive titleholders in recent history, or will Mahal carry the Intercontinental Championship to WWE Money in the Bank? To find out, tune in to Raw, live at 8/7 C on USA Network. How will Nia Jax respond to Ronda Rousey’s threat? > Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax’s challenge to Ronda Rousey at the NBCUniversal Upfront was amicable enough, but the relationship between these two beloved Superstars seems to have cooled as of late, thanks in no small part to the machinations of Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon. >After Stephanie stirred the pot during the Raw Women’s Title Match Contract Signing for WWE Money in the Bank, The Baddest Woman on the Planet vowed to take The Irresistible Force’s title — and her arm — on Sunday, June 17. >Can Jax counter Rousey’s bold words before their anticipated title clash? Is Braun Strowman destined to become Mr. Money in the Bank?
