Join us today to chat about your favorite SummerSlam memories, or anything related to the upcoming WWE and NXT events. Plus we have SmackDown tonight! And hey, it’s not just wrestling chat – we’ve got a new POPBlast out on Mister Miracle #1 – talk comics, pop culture, whatever!
New audio, including brand new Place to Be Podcast:
We think Neville regains the strap in Brooklyn? Was Tozawa’s win just to give a feel good moment on a tough day?
I think Tozawa was gonna win the belt on Sunday anyway so they just bumped the title win up a few days so they could have a feel good moment on the show.
I think that’s a good call – could see that happening and we get another chase.
I think Tozawa retains.
Could also see Titus turn on Tozawa and go with Neville.
Bah I hope not. Neville is better as a loner and the TB is feel good stuff… they should pick up a women’s star too and just keep the Brand together.
Yeah, I definitely want to see The Titus Brand grow. I think he should add another NXT callup after SummerSlam.
The FYC on the WCW guys had me internally debated William Regal for GWWE. Where does everyone see him slotting in?
I think his initial “He’s a MAN” entrance theme gets him in before accounting for any work, but he’s probably bottom 20 for me – need to look closer at this mid 00s run. I caught some of his KOTR 08 stuff also.
Wow that seems pretty low. Will be interested if he rises with the more you watch.
I’m trying to think off hand – so he has his IC level stuff in 2001-2002 , and then, I’m sure, really good TV stuff at a mid/lower card level through the 00s and then the KOTR stuff. He’s a great worker, but i’d be curious how he fills out the other categories for everyone. I don’t think there’s enough big stuff to really make a dent on the list for me.
I think he rates super high for nuance… tremendous longevity, great variance (superb heel, face, tag and singles)… great in depth character (especially during the Eugene and Tajiri stuff)… high marks for pure workrate…
The only spot he lacks a bit is Jump Up but when he saves Eugene is a big moment for sure. His work as King in 2008 was tremendous until it was slashed short.

Astros working on a deal to grab Verlander.
Really? They have to make a move.
Astros are going to have to give up some good prospects, plus they’ll have to add Verlander’s $28 million. That’s a lot for them.
Yeah tough to swallow but this is their best chance, have to go for it.
They gotta do it if they want to make a run now.
A fun what if for Sunday. Dean and Seth win the Raw Tag Titles and then they help Reigns win the 4 way and we get the full Shield reunion.
Important question in this scenario: Are Rollins and Ambrose the biggest heels in history for aiding the hated Roman Reigns, or is Roman loved again if he’s part of the Shield again?
I don’t know. Like I said just a fun what if.
Is this *THE* Scott Butler of The Brothers of Discussion?
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever had a definite article before.
Mean Gene saying on his FB that Flair had colon surgery.

Geez
I have had fucking Despacito in my head since that bachelor party Friday night.
I haven’t listened to Despacito nor do I plan to anytime soon.

Jesus Christ this Trump press conference.
Unreal.
“WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair remains in critical condition at an Atlanta hospital, according to F4Wonline.com. We now know that Flair underwent colon surgery on Monday to remove a blockage that was the catalyst for a number of health issues that followed, including kidney failure. The blockage was said to be the worst of the issues but the blockage did cause other problems. Flair is currently on kidney dialysis and doctors are looking to get his kidneys back functioning. The surgery was considered a success but there are more issues to deal with.”

Why are the making Nakamura cut promos?
YES! An apology segment coming up! So glad I tuned in. LOVE apology segments in professional wrestling.
Sonny Gray is so much fun to watch.
Boy, they are laying it on a little thick calling Cena/Mahal one of the biggest matches in SD history.
How’s the show been? Feeling ok with us not attending?
It’s been ok. Nothing great but nothing outright bad either. I feel perfectly fine not going to this show assuming that nothing mind blowing happens in the next hour.
Yeah, like, there’ve been actual title matches on SD before.
12/18 Raw at the Dunk, night after TLC in Boston
Hahaha wow. Did they really just do that with money in the bank.
What’d they do? Not watching.
Had Corbin fail with his cash in. Jinder rolled him up after he punched cena. Match went like 5 seconds.
Ha! What a waste of MITB.
Wonder if there’s a Wellness thing coming. if you could pick the worst way to lose the MITB plot device, it would be on a roll-up on the go-home show of a PPV.
LOL
My God!
Can’t believe that. So Nakamura wins the title on Sunday?
He has to. I hope Nak destroys Mahal.
’97 Heat and ’99 Knicks coming to NBA 2K18!
I don’t recall them using those teams before – neat.
One of my fav parts of 2K17 was they finally got Eric Snow to sign off so he’s on the ’01 Sixers
Them adding 16 new classic teams along with all time teams for all 30 franchises already makes it better than 17.
At least now we don’t have a suspected Corbin title run hanging over us.
Wow that was pretty surprising.
Just finalized the Wednesday Walk, so check back at 9 tomorrow. This week: Thor, beans, improvised furbies, chocolate crime, the best theory about the moon, the plague, fruitcake, the last Blockbuster, Warren Zevon, and self-exploration.
Alexander & Metalik vs. Nese & Gulak to kick off 205 Live
Really good match too.
Nice moment with Titus and Akira…
205 Live was solid, although this stuff with Kendrick is horrible.
