Wow they are just flat out saying Dean is leaving, seems like an angle alert and/or Roman made good on his promise to try to change his mind.

I do like on a show where literal SHOOT NAMES HAVE BEEN UTTERED, we're still keeping kayfabe that real news outlets would actually break news on the latest WWE HOF entrant.

Oh Lord, WWE promoting Captain Marvel. The movie neckbeard MRAs are shitting their pants over because...somehow a female superhero means Marvel is courting SJWs? This should end well.

Honestly, Hunter's promo was some "everything else is fake but what you're watching right now is real" Russo type bullshit, only with someone with better chops doing it than the guys who would try to do it in WCW.

So Hunter just did Ronda's shooty shoot shoot Twitter rant as a promo on Raw.

I was wondering how they were going to work Michael Che on the show, considering his history of mysoginistic behavor. Having him do a segment with Brand Officer Steph with the women's belt promenently on display in the background almost seems like trolling.

As happy as I am that Roman is back, I didn't miss Cole sounding like he's climaxing when he says THA BIG DAWG.

What I don't get is the story implies she was obviously impared, doesn't anyone else besides Arn have any responsibility here? Even if he dropped the ball, someone else....hell her opponent...should have been like "yeah she's too fucked up to be out there".

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.
