Happy Tuesday! Talk about the fallout from Raw, tonight’s SmackDown Live and slate of baseball games and anything else you have going on today.
Also, if you have feedback for the PTB Podcast that you would like to be read on air, tonight’s topic is the 10/86 Saturday Night’s Main Event. So just post it in the thread below!
Are they doing Cena v Reigns at No Mercy too?
If they are, they haven’t announced it. I think it would be silly to burn that match on a secondary PPV. Should save it for Mania.
Yeah, they should save it for Mania. Brock and Braun is big enough to grab viewers. Cena vs Joe could work for this show. SNF is Raiders/Skins, so no need to load up extra heavy.
Unless they think Cena might not be available at Mania this year.
That was my thought… are they squeezing everything they can in for him? If he can be at Mania they have to save the match for sure…
I would say Cena vs Joe at No Mercy. Not sure what Roman does yet.

I gave a vote to In Your House Mind Games.
Voted for Fall Brawl 1997.
Really fun show, that main event is hot.
Agreed. Haven’t seen it in forever either.
I went with Fall Brawl 94. An underrated show in a great year for WCW.
Wow sad. https://blog.priceplow.com/industry-news/dallas-mccarver-death
Dana Brooke’s boyfriend by the way.
Very sad.
Awful. That guy was massive.
Sounds like he choked on his final meal.
Ugh what a shit way to go.
Terrible way to go.
WOAH. That’s nuts. He was an enormous man.
Here’s my review of that SNME show, which I thought was one of the best editions in the history of the show.

I am excited for Thunder but also sad because the completist in me is going to be forced to include that in my never ending WCW watch! I am lining up time wise too because I am in September 97 and Thunder started in January 1998 I believe…
That is correct. I still remember the ads on TBS in advance of it, with Luger posing in front of a … thunderstorm.
“There’s a storm … SHAKING the ground!” or something, followed by someone yelling “THUNDER! THUNDER! THUNDER!” in the background.
Yeah I’ve been waiting since I started my trek through all of the TV shows for all the companies because of the completionist in me. So seeing Thunder is being added makes me not have to stop once I get to that point!
We ought to give the debut Thunder episode a live watch when it drops.
Originally Flair was supposed to do the KFC gig and after his health issues started Shawn stepped up and said he’d do it.
Holy Moses.

What the fudge
Sounds like the Celtics would give up Thomas, Crowder and picks.
Worth it, no brainer move.
Absolutely.
They’re trying hard not to include Crowder he’s their only defender that can remotely slow down LeBron in the inevitable Conference finals
’02 Nets and ’05 Spurs last two historical teams added to NBA 2K.
Would’ve thought for sure they’d put in the ’10 Lakers this year.
Is that the year Jason Kidd was caught cheating on his wife and was blowing her kisses all during the finals? I ask because I wonder if they added in Jason Kidd blowing kisses at his wife as an animation. Then I may consider buying the game brand new rather than waiting a year.
Chris Sale having a 7.4 WAR on Fangraphs and then a 5.6 WAR on BBref is a pretty large difference.
Doesn’t one of them factor in defense differently? Also do they both heavily factor FIP?
Yeah I believe Fangraphs heavily favors Defense.

A bit of feedback for the podcast:
In regards to the Jake/Steamboat feud, I thought this was the real blow off to the feud as this was their most high profile match in terms of viewership. Really good sprint with cool visuals and the hilarious notion that Steamboat’s Caiman or baby alligator could be in any way considered a “dragon”. The finish works because it lets the feud end without Jake and taking too much of a hit and adds a new layer of arrogance to his character.
Thank you sir!
The KRAKEN!
That might have landed in Jordan’s bathroom.

I’m getting texts that it’s official:
Kyrie for IT, Crowder, Zizic, and Brooklyns 2018 1st rounder…That’s a huge move for both Cleveland and Boston. Damn.
Great move for the Cs and it gives the Cavs a PG to get them through LeBron’s last year.
Let’s em start rebuilding too with the pick.
I love this. Such a great move for the Cs. Also, very happy that the Cs didn’t have to give up Tatum.
Congrats, Matt! Kick Golden State’s ass in the Finals!
A rare trade where both sides are thrilled. It will be interesting to see who wins it 5 years down the line
It looks like Boston for now…but yeah right on. Depends on if Kyrie re-signs and then what happens with the pick.
I would be shocked if they made that trade and he didn’t agree to stay.
IT’s numbers are gonna be absurd with LeBron to carry some of the load.
He’ll for sure average 30 this year.
Then again down the line the Warriors might be celebrating their 8th straight chip and nobody will win the trade
The Nets may have a first round pick by then…
That Sanchez bomb was 490.
493

Tell YES that!

2017, man.
The first game of the NBA season happens to be Celtics/Cavs.
Lol
That’s awesome lol.
If anyone has SNME 10/86 feedback, we are starting up shortly so paste here in the next hour or so.
I posted my review below that you can read from if you want but its one of the best editions of SNME in my opinion
https://twitter.com/ESPNNBA/status/900139609006497792
60th? Wow.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Carmella cashes in and Nattie’s title win was a Ryder moment from mania 32.
GLORIOUS!!!
Working babyface too. Helps fill the Cena void.
Great spot for him.
Finally!
Bobby Roode on Smackdown, Kyrie Irving traded to the Celtics. What a night!!!!
Roode should fit in great with Smackdown.
Totally thought he would be on Raw. Better that he’s on SD.
Planning on walking into work tomorrow blasting Roode’s theme after tonight?
They may be forced to make him a face.
Also this:

You gotta be fucking kidding me.
So much for that Brock fight!
Incredibly moronic.
What a dumbass
No way that UFC gives him another chance after this. Right?!?!
Roode is clearly being positioned as a face.
Smart move, he wasn’t going to get booed.
Yeah no fucking way he was going to be a heel.
Nice! World’s Greatest Tag Team 2.0
Wasn”t that what American Alpha was supposed to be?
Benjamin and Gable as a team should be awesome.
Yeah it gives The Usos another really good team to face off with.
Shelton should be revealed as Angle’s other son, just to keep fucking with Gable.
Thank you Yankees! I was unsure what game I was going to listen to while at work. As enjoyable as those couple innings were, I think I know where that game is going.
I am good luck for teams tonight. I tuned in to the Rays vs Jays and the Rays just took a 3 run lead. Hopefully this luck continues when I listen to the Brewers later tonight.
Do you have multiple favorite teams?
I love baseball. Brewers are my favorite team. I paid for the sports package on the tune in app and like to make good use of it. So i will listen to three or so games a day depending on whatelse I am doing. I am at work so I am listening to baseball.
That is awesome. I have MLB.tv so I fully understand.
They crammed a lot into that first hour.
Crowd doing the wave. This is absurd. Want a woman’s revolution but cheering for Lana. This is absurd

This Kendrick/Gallagher stuff is so fucking terrible.
Firing it up now.
I really feel like they will have Titus turn on Tozawa tonight.
Sucks… I wish Tozawa just kept the gold and built the feel good stable around him.
Yeah, I’d like to see the Titus Brand as a face stable. Hopefully he does not turn though
Good Smackdown tonight. Cubs I think have righted their ship.
Gonna catch 205 Live tomorrow.
Great match.
Excellent stuff.
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
Credence to the legitimacy of Cass’s injury. Enzo was gonna get squashed last night to end the feud and ship him here.
I guess it might actually get 205 Live more viewers in the short-term but its probably more a way to “punish” Enzo a bit.
He’s instantly the most over guy on the show too.
Torn ACL for Cass
