Ambrose talking to Seth throughout the entire beatdown was hysterical to me. The only thing wrong with this feud is that both of these guys should be above the IC Title.

Goddamn, Ambrose is so hilarious and natural as a heel.

Do they really need to have Ambrose use Roman's cancer to get heel heat? Good God, the guy is gold in the mic. They don't need to have him resort to that. Yeah well Eddie’s in hell so Same old Vince.

LMFAOOO that was some of the worst acting ever. “I don’t know. Butchu better get outta my face” He must take the same acting classes as Baron Corbin.

Never been much of an Ambrose fan but I’ll give this a watch, the Nakamura and Samoa Joe ones they did were pretty damn good. Also IIRC they put the full versions on YouTube too. Oh, sweet! Didn't know they put the full episode up. Thank you for the heads up. Do you know how soon they usually post it?

They just posted a 12-minute preview for this on YouTube. Anyone else looking forward to this? I don't subscribe to the Network, but Ambrose is my favorite wrestler and I may have to do a free trial to check this documentary out. His rivalry with Seth drew me back into watching because I'm really interested in seeing where it goes and I think both guys are so good. This seems like a really cool behind-the-scenes look, while also playing up the breakup between Ambrose and The Shield (I'm assuming that's supposed to be Seth who calls him at the end of the trailer).

These look awesome, but I'm afraid of what the cost is going to be. Seems like they're modeling these after the SH Figuarts, which is a cool idea, but really only going to be directed towards the hardcore collectors. If they do a version of some of my favorite old-school characters like Austin, Taker, HBK, etc. I would definitely be tempted to buy them.

That was a great promo from Ambrose, as usual, but not really sure why they had him start off by saying he wasn't going to give anyone any answers, only thing him to then go and give everyone answers. I'm just glad they didn't give him the typical lazy heel turn explanation that "I never needed you guys, all you did was hold me back, I'm the real star."

It's really the same thing we've seen for years. Every time a new guy comes onto the scene and builds momentum, Vince sacrifices them and goes back to the same formula he has for years. Strowman's rise and fall is almost identical to what they did with Ryback - he caught fire with the fans, got insanely over and then Vince just lost interest in him and turned him heel for no reason other than the fact that he had no more credible heels left to face Cena. Then, Ryback lost and pretty much never recovered from the endless string of big matches that he lost time and time again. On the rare occasions when the company does create legitimate stars who the fans get behind, Vince still can't get out of this own way. If Braun eventually wins the title, it'll be because Vince determined the timing was right; not because the fans did. The fact that Daniel Cormier actually mentioned the WWE and Brock in his post-fight interview gave Vince exactly what he wanted, and pretty much ensures that Brock is keeping the title until Mania.

I said yesterday, he has to be the worst wrestler who I've ever seen try to act in my life. Everything the guy says has zero emotion and sounds like he's just reading words off a sheet of paper that he's seeing for the first time. He's truly horrendous on the mic, it's cringe-worthy every time he opens his mouth. If they want a heel running the show, fine, but there has to be someone else who's a better fit than this guy. Pretty much anybody who can put words together and form a coherent sentence would be a major step up. Why they thought this guy has the mic/acting skills to be given a role that relies heavily on both is beyond me.

What's the point of having Angle wrestle these last few matches of his career just to make him look like crap?

That was PERFECT. Love how they're dragging out Ambrose's explanation, but hopefully this feud doesn't lose steam while basically everything gets put on hold for the brand versus brand crap.

That was some promo, Corbin. God, even his scripted backstage acting is horrible.

Did anybody make a joke about Seth trying to be miz yet? Also is Seth the only person in wwe to be a double champ twice? I feel like somebody else has Off the top of my head, Austin held the WWF Title and Tag Titles twice - 1998 with Taker, 2001 with Triple H. Edit - Oh, do you mean active roster or in history?

Why is Rollins bringing the tag belts out this week, but didn't last week?

Corbin has to be the worst person I've ever heard on the mic. Seriously. Every single thing this guy says has zero emotion and sounds like he's reading off of a cue card that he's never seen before. Good Lord. What exactly do they see in this guy?

The worst part about this is that this is only the beginning. Vince is going to continue going back there every few months because of how much money he's being paid, and he'll continue to go all out and market the card as being one of the biggest of all time. If this was a one-time event that the WWE was tied into, maybe I could understand this more; but it's only going to get worse.

I think they gave him the title and pushed him right after the brand split to give the false impression that pushing Finn really was going to be the start of "a new era." They needed to do something right after the brand split to get people excited over. It's really the same reason they pushed Ambrose at the time and gave him the title, only to completely lose interest in him after about a month. If they called up Finn just to immediately feed him to Roman or Brock, the brand split would've been looked at as an immediate failure. Ultimately, I think everything would've played out the same in the end - Finn would've gotten a few months in the spotlight as a way of Vince giving the fans what they wanted before ultimately going right back to Brock/Roman, as has been the case for the last five years. He typically has always done this right after a brand split/draft - give the fans a shiny new toy to get their attention, only to take it away the second he gets them hooked.

Okay honestly, was The BOD ever really a big deal like they make it out to be? I started watching in 05, I watched almost every PPV from 2000-2005 when I first started. I also saw some stuff from the late 90’s and I really don’t recall Undertaker and Kane as a memorable tag team or even at all Their best days as a team, IMO, were in 1998.
