Roman/Rey great as expected, another pretty good show.

Beardless Otis just looks wrong, like when Jim Duggan shaved when he was doing the Team Canada gimmick in WCW.

"Rey has never been in a HIAC match" sounds like something that couldn't possibly be true but somehow is.

It's not like I *don't* want to watch Bianca and Bayley have a match, but this build has been asscheeks.

OK, now I really need Nak to break out the full NJPW King of Strong Style gear.

This somehow sets up KO vs Sami part 787987589347598759 in a HIAC? What?

Big E/KO and Crews/Azeez in a BIG MEATY MEN TAG MATCH? This should be good.

I just looked it up, and it turns out Babatunde is half-Nigerian, I wonder if WWE remembered that when putting him in this gimmick or if it was a happy accident.

Starting Smackdown now, and that red cage looks so corny, like some shit you'd buy to put around a toy WWE ring.

Miro vs Pillman? I can get down with that.

Julia Hart reminds me of Alexa Bliss's original cheerleader gimmick in NXT.

Same reason Michael Nak never sees it coming that Kenny is going to throw him under the bus I suppose.

JR doing a sit down with Andrade should be good, since that's the one thing he still excels at.

Even Vince bent the knee, Seriously, if that's true that's an amazing flex on his part so good for him.

The Chyna ep is a different show, DSOTR is on a mid season break at the moment.

I mean Dom should be in traction for weeks after Roman yeeted him into the stratosphere last week.

It's kind of comforting to know at least Cody is that way IRL and not just playing it up for a gimmick.

It's not just you, so much of pre nWo WCW was just deleted from my brain. I think it's some kind of primordial defense mechanism to prevent us from getting a rage stroke at how stupid all of it was.

It's really something how 1997 was a really great year for both WWF and WCW, and then both fell off a cliff at the end of the year (Montreal and Starrcade respectively).

Not directly, but if a promotion is full of people trying to get the best rating from him then if those people become draws it kind of does mean something.

Bumping a main title match from PPV to TV on a day's notice is a normal thing done by normal companies for sure. It's one thing to bump a match that would have been on the pre-show or some other low part of the card, but when you do it with the match involving your show ending angle from last week it comes off as mass confusion.

Most revealing thing is that there's an account devoted to the Young Bucks' twitter bios and they follow it.

If you stop to think about it, "the boss brings in someone to choke the shit out of his workers who get out of line" sounds like something from Vince's spank bank. After the buzz of Joe's return faded It occurred to me how messed up the actual story being told is.

Agreed. Someone like Darby I'd just tell him how much time he has and what points he needs to hit and let him do his thing.

Sometimes an idea sounds good on paper/when it's being pitched and just falls flat in practice. Ever since the infamous show-ending Dark Order angle that everyone hated, it's been stated that Tony not only made sure he had final say but that not everyone's idea is going to get an automatic green light. Some things just don't work when you try them, which is fine. They've been good at recognizing when things don't work and move past them quickly. I think telling talent that we can try things but if it goes over like a fart in church we're not going to keep plugging away at it seems like the better way to run things and still allow people to have input.
