Mainly just building up Demon and Wagner's stuff. They're doing a really good job but Demon has the same problem Santo has where the mask is so iconic you can't fathom any circumstance where he would lose it. The only thing that leaves any doubt is if the Demon family has another spat with him since he's apparently not actually related to Demon Sr.

Guys, you'll never believe it, there's another new faction in AAA! (Jack Evans, Sammy Guevarra, and Australian Suicide)

Did Brutus ever make up with Hogan after their falling out?

Villano III Jr straight up jacking Batista's theme on the AAA show tonight. Don't know if it's the first time or just the first I noticed, but I had a heartly lol either way.

I've gone back to watching Mid Atlantic and I'm at the post Starrcade 83 episodes, and I can't help but laugh at how hard they tried to make Kelly Kiniski a thing. Bob Caudle set him up to do a promo about whatever was going on in the territory and Kelly just goes off on how he's worked on his wrestling style and gets quasi-heelish toward Americans while babyfacing himself to Canadians like a weird, less charasmatic proto Bret Hart.

On Instagram I believe, she also posted this pic on Twitter calling herself the Volaqueen (spoiler'd for hugeness) edited to include her description: "I’ll work on my Twitter game after Mania. For now, Lucha Libre training in Mexico City with my “top secret” trainer #volaqqueen"

2000 WCW really was next level bad though, that can't be stated enough. Worked shoot stuff can work if done right, it's just that the most famous examples of it are SO BAD.

Listening to Dave from the other day, this Twitter stuff apparently is going on as intended. Ronda and Becky are doing this sort of on their own (Vince didn't come up with it but he's not stopping it either) and think this is a way to get the more hardcore fans worked up. He sees them getting mad as proof it's working, which I guess so. But it's also making one of your top stars you paid big money to get look like an unhinged loon. It's just leaving me gobsmacked that Ronda is coming up with all this and thinking "Yes. This is something I want out there as a reflection of me". That's before even addressing that this is some 2000 WCW "work the smarts" horseshit.

I believe he is, which would explain why Charlotte and RUSH would be in the same room since he still hangs out with this Ingobernale bros.

While all this Twitter fuss is going on, Charlotte is posting pictures of her and RUSH so she's winning at social media.

It feels like getting people like us to fight over it on a message board then they kind of accomplished their mission.

Meanwhile, Kofi is putting on a clinic on how to maintain kayfabe on Twitter and not come off looking like a dipshit.

I would expect to be the story of a young bodybuilder navigating the wacky world of pro wrestling, capping off with him slamming the 900 pound Andre in front of half a million people.

The worst part is they seem to still want to portray Ronda as a noble babyface, but when she's presumably left to her own devices her natural unlikability keeps taking over. At least if she's been a heel on TV there would be an aspect of "well she's just doing a non TV PG version of her character*", instead of coming off as unhinged and disconnected from what's presented on TV. *which still wouldn't give her a pass on the boneheaded things she's said, but would at least be something of a defense.

Plus her talking about Becky's move looking like the "dick she wished she had" is hitting a little to close to some of the transphobic stuff she's said in the past.

Becky's tweet did get Tommy Wisseau to reply and offer to announce their match at Mania so I'll give her points for that.

So either Ronda thinks going SHOOTY SHOOT SHOOT real on Twitter is a good look and no one can convince her otherwise, or she's legit gotten to over Becky's constant ownings. Neither is really a good look for her.

I'm not sure how to handle living in a world where WWE actually goes with a hot hand and doesn't work hard to cool them off quickly. I feel like I need to sit down and have a glass of water.

I mean, Vince is still the omnipotent authority figure, except now his kids aren't immune to his fucking around.

The trash has always been out there, but social media gave those types the outlet to shove said trash in everyone's face. I know it's been said that turning one's feeds into like minded echo chambers isn't the best way to go either, but it seems like social media has increased toxicity everywhere by factors of 100.

Because Fox is network TV as opposed to cable, with a bigger reach and what would probably matter more to Vince more prestige than being on cable. I can totally see him putting more focus on Smackdown for at least the short term.

Doubtful, the women going on last is the final payoff for Steph finally allowing women to wrestle matches longer then 30 seconds.

BIG DAVE

Ricky got that Dick Clark never aging thing going on. If he dyed his hair black it would be like it was 1989.

They were doing something with Baron and Roman before, so it would at least have some history (I know, I know ....that would require them to remember something that happened months ago).
