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).

This horndog Alexa gimmick sure is something.

My son has the same speech impediment Ronda has, and he does the same hesitation thing when he's trying to tell a story. Also like her, it tends to go away when he's pissed off and he doesn't have to think about how his words come out.

Wow, Ronda might be the first person in WWE history to point out she has enough money that she doesn't need this bullshit.

So if we're following the Attitude Era script, Becky's going to somehow get out of jail just in time to crash Ric's party and beat up Charolotte.

It's past the Cornette Statute of Limitations of repeating an angle, but LOL at how they are just straight up copy-pasting the Austin stuff with Becky. I fully expect her to hijack a beer truck next week.

Yeah, I kind of have a hard time believing the guy who had a hard time seeing the buttons on a telephone during the "McMahon's Millions" segments is sitting in gorilla tweeting on his phone .

When the McMahons came out to SHAKE THINGS UP! one of the announcements was no more automatic rematches.

Yes

David Arquette in the house getting some love from the Big Dog!

Didn't you know Stephanie championed the Savior Revolution?

I keep forgetting McAfee is employed by WWE, and when I am reminded it's both annoying and amusing.

Plus Ric's birthday, and maybe the Rock (he's in town, has a WWE related movie to promote, they'd be dumb *not* to have him show up), and I think the Roman segment is going to be interesting to see how they handwave Dean's comments about his illness if they are getting the band back together one last time like they seem to be hinting at. I mean, I'm sure it will just be some variation of "Dean, you so crazy" but one can always hope.

They really haven't had anyone else in the "attractive Latino guy" role since, what, Alberto probably? Everyone else is masked and Rey (who's mask basically shows his whole face these days) looks like he's permanently 12 years old. Not only that, most women in WWE are so tiny I always am lowkey afraid one of them will shatter into a million pieces when they take a bump. Most of them could probably stand to gain a few pounds but I couldn't imagine the abuse they'd take on social media.

The best part was when he was talking about the powerlifting guys talking shit about him calling himself the World's Strongest Man after being away from their scene for years and how it was the maddest he ever was. Plus Vince's reaction when he asked if he could go compete being "sure, but you better win it because I have no place for the second strongest man in the world" being a shit-just-got-real moment. All that topped off with him going in with only 3-4 months training and winning the thing after being away for so long made clear how scary a motivated and pissed off Mark Henry could be. It also made clear that he's probably one of the legit nicest people ever in wrestling. Clearly he's one of the very few folks that no one has a bad word to say about. How could you, after seeing how passionate he is about life and how he goes in 100% when he cares about something. Even the part at the end with him being the typical corny dad embarrassing his son made it clear anyone who's ever met the guy would love him.

It's kind of funny for all the smart moves AEW and the people involved are making, they really don't seem to realize that if you poke the bear enough Vince is gonna go back to the old Vince and get gangsta on them.

I guess they want them to get together one last time before Seth goes off Beast hunting and Dean fucks off to where ever.

Like, there's some dudes I could see getting upset that are passing you over....but Ricochet? Dude's like one of the best at his style in the world, and it's not like WWE was going to use TJP the same way anytime soon. "I'm passive agreesively mad about someone really good getting pushed in a key spot" is a weird take.
