Apparently Jericho tried to fight Lesnar backstage after Summerslam. Chris wasn't told that it was a work, saw Orton in a pool of blood, and got super-pissed. The fight took both Vince and HHH to pull them apart, with Vince personally telling Jericho that it was a work.

Sucks that Balor has to give up the WWE Universal Nakamura's Jacket only a day after he won...

Damn, Balor was supposed to wrestle Jericho at the WWE China show. That was the other match I was pumped about other than Owens vs Zayn. Hope they can find a last minute replacement in time to get them a visa.

Announced card:

Booman Reigns vs Rollins

Cena vs. Big Show

Balor vs. Jericho (RIP, hopefully they can get Styles or Ambrose to fill in since this was apparently booked to be a title match)

Zayn vs. Owens (worth the price of admission)

New Day vs. Shining Stars vs. Gallows and Anderson (Tag title match)

Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte (Women's title--heard Banks was injured too)

Cesaro vs. Sheamus

Goldust vs. Braun Strowman

Neville vs. Bo Dallas

as far as the Lesnar/Jericho scuffle y2j is absolutely fearless. I remember hearing back in WCW he got into a backstage fight with Goldberg... and won.

He detailed the story in one of his books. Goldberg was a (monstrous) bitch that didn't know how to fight, and Jericho essentially held on for dear life until Goldberg lost interest and surrendered.
 
hahaha holy shit what kind of goober thinks any people in wrestling are good people

Somebody get this kid a thread post-haste, he's gotta have some gold out there.
He needs to get a copy of this book.

I was at a comedy thing that Hacksaw Jim Duggan did (It was really just him telling wrestling stories) and he said in recent years there has been a few wrestlers from the indies who join the WWE and are surprised and a little upset when Vince is mean and harsh with them because they expected him to be a friendly boss so I guess there's a lot of delusional people out there.

(I don't think there were any stories people don't know, one thing I hadn't heard before was he said the reason Rowdy Piper was so antsy during the Legend House show was because he regularly took medical marijuana but wasn't allowed any on the show)

Wow, and he _didn't_ kill everybody there?
That's impressive.
 
Just watched 12 Rounds 3 on Amazon Prime Instant because I'm still on Labor Day vacation and it was there. It's not completely abysmal, just Die Hard in a police station. Ambrose didn't have a ton of dialogue to mumble through, which was for the best, and the CGI blood made me chuckle. Not a recommend, but it wasn't boring as all fuck like the first one (never saw the second one) and definitely won't be showing up on anyone's bad movie night list.

That said...I haven't actually seen a ton of him in the ring (not since his days as Jon Moxley), but I really don't get the appeal of Dean Ambrose and I never did. But what I have seen of him, his ringwork is sloppy, his offense looks like shit, and his promos are cringeworthy (so basically, standard PG-Era WWE).

His offense looks worse than his ring attire (seriously, that slop-tacular rebound clothesline he does 15 times per match and always looks like it's done in slow motion) and I absolutely despise that lame, affected Roddy Piper voice he uses in his overly scripted WWE promos. You know, there are a handful of wrestlers who break out into the mainstream like Cena, Lesnar, the Rock, ect. But it's pretty safe to say that Ambrose will never be one of them. Sorry if you're a fan of his, but the dude is fucking corny.
