It would be a Very WWE Thing to have a popular babyface win the world titles on free network TV to give everyone a feelgood moment to get people to forget about *gestures wildly* It's also a Very WWE Thing the person in that position is Matt "Lost My First Name Due to What Comes Up on Google Searches" Riddle.

It's largely due in part to Roman being the only person booked as a threat on the whole roster, but I love how his whole entrance is 100% "you about to get your ass kicked by the final boss" energy.

Both her and Charlotte look like entirely different people than they did several years ago. It's not considered proper to comment on anyone's possible plastic surgery, but in some case it's obvious. TBF I think Nattie still looks pretty good, any work she had was done well, but looking at older photos kind of answer the questions.

If/when Orton comes back, it's going to be a "Cena returning at the Rumble" moment..

Man, it really sucks that the moment Randy started having fun and giving a shit on a regular basis, his body gave out.

I wonder how Vince's voice got so scratchy all of a sudden, we all know he's famously anti smoking. Is that a side effect of 50 years of living on a diet solely of steroids and cocaine I've never heard of?

That was surreal, felt like Vince was on the verge of announcing he was stepping down or something serious and was just like "WELCOME TO SMACKOWN!"

That was dumb, but in context of the match it wasn't as bad as people tried to make it out to be IMO. She's gotten herself over pretty well and seems like a nice enough person (and as stated has been front and center promoting LGBTQ issues in wrestling) people seem to give her a pass for not really being all that great in ring.

That's what any normal (for a billionaire CEO) would do, but.........

I admit i dont follow GCW super closely, but I thought that the Hammerstein was an anomaly due to them not wanting to upset PPV providers by doing any of their usual mega violent gimmicks.

Do tell.

Someone at Fox has to be screaming into their phone at this point to stop Vince from appearing on TV, because the idea of "angry, threatened, backed in a corner" Vince with a live mic is pants-on-head crazy at this point.

Sterling is a great #1 Paul Jones level manager and, Jade moving on to Stokely is the perfect metaphor for her moving to the next step.

She wasn't Vince's type (blonde with big boobs) so if he doesn't want to fuck you he doesn't think anyone else would either.

It was also mentioned in the original Wall Street Journal story that in addition to looking in to the Vince allegations they are also looking at the company culture as well. That could low key turn out to be the biggest deal since you have about a million examples to pull from, like AJ Lee stating in her book that she was told (by someone widely assumed to be Johnny Ace) that while she was very good in the ring she wouldn't get a star push since no one wants to fuck her and that's what's most important.

My guess was that he's heard the rumors and probably believes there's enough smoke that there has to be some fire to it, but doesn't have enough to journalistically say so.

AEW still leaving tons of money on the table not selling Jungle Boy posters styled like the one Michael Hayes used to shill in the magazines back in the 80s.

Y'know it would be very interesting if someone revisited the "Johnny Ace was a sugarbaby for Mrs. Baba" stories that were around back in the day. I remember someone hinting at that once to Dave and he did one of those "I'm not NOT saying that's incorrect" answers.

I liked the theory I saw on Twitter where Christian saw what happened to his pal on Raw and decided to turn on his young protégé' before he got it next.

It should be mentioned that NJPW didn't want AEW to announce any matches for the PPV until after Dominion. I guess now seeing they were belting up Jay it makes sense, but I wonder if TK knew that was going to happen before having Page do the I WANT OKADA promo. It did kinda fit his anxious millennial cowboy gimmick to be all "welp guess I'm just a dummy" last night, I have to think that wasn't originally part of the plan.

Well the only part they got wrong is that Dunn isn't a member of the board. He did sell stock after the board was made aware of the Vince stuff and it would be difficult to believe someone in his position didn't get wind of it somehow.

Seems fitting the first main event after the Vince news dropped would include Riddle. The (non WWE) universe has a sense of humor sometimes.

Saw it pointed out that for as teflon as Vince has been, using company money to pay off his affairs is the one crime even rich people don't often escape from: stealing from the mighty CORPORATION.

Seems like now is a good time for any unhappy woman on the roster to ask for a release.

TBF I'm pretty certain FTR beats whoever wins this after they beat Cobb and O-Kahn so they can do the tag team version of the Ultimo Dragon pose with 8 different belts.
