So I noticed there was nary a peep from the "people who dislike Steph are misogynist troglodytes" crowd after that promo with Heyman. Never mind that the whole build to the brand split was that the McMahon kids want to destroy each other, now we're supposed to believe either Steph now suddenly wants to avenge her brother or this is some big long con and she really wants Brock to destroy him (because Steph is the sun and the moon and all good things come from her).

Balor wasn't trying to break his fall, he was going to land short of the dasher boards and was putting his arm out to grab it the same way you would if it was the ropes. If he hadn't have done that it might have been an uglier bump to take and possibly another Sting situation.

Pretty sure she was on more than once, may not have been identified every time though,

I love how after weeks of being on NXT TV and pointing out her family history, Rachel Ellering got a new last name at the latest tapings now that her dad is on the show.

Also the fact that they seem to want to portray her as the female version of the Mr. Mcmahon character, while forgetting that Austin was constantly foiling his plans and one upping him.

Yeah, Johnny's out to lunch here. No one hates Steph because she's a woman boss, but for how nearly every segment she's in turns into her talking to guys like they are misbehaving children. Women too, since she decided to co opt what was an organic movement in NXT to another corporate branding exercise that she can play Den Mother to.

Too bad his career has been less like that promo and more like him in a chicken suit for a KFC ad. I hope this is a turning of the page for him, but let's not act like he was doing much of anything before Maryse came back.

No, and it made anyone talking about them sound awkward having to say "Smackdown tag team/women's championship" each time.

I wonder how much of that was done on the fly, poor Renee looked like she was witnessing a train derailment.

I know it's the same design, but silver makes the tag belts look so much better than the pennies on Raw.

That would be great with Rowan doing the work and Heath taking the credit.

HHH pretty much said that while it would make more sense for it to be on Smackdown, it's going to be used to fill time on Raw. I just hope it doesn't get the full "first hour of Nitro" treatment and we get the announcers using the time during their matches to talk about the real stars of the show.

I think Seth just needs to retire the buckle bomb, it's just a bad move to take. Basically any move involving blindly tossing a guy has a bad risk/reward ratio.

n/m got worked by Twitter

I was thinking they should do like when Randy Orton first hurt his shoulder back in the day and have weekly Eva News Network updates.

It seems like they have pretty much given up on last gen consoles, since they never really fixed the 360 version either. The PS4/X1 versions seem to work pretty well though.

Surely he could use the Bret Hart defense and say it was hardway? Anyone sponsoring wrestling should know shit happens sometimes.

I know anything said by a luchador should be taken with the largest of grains of salt, but Rush said CMLL kept him off the Anniversary show because of the Park brawl. Keeping one of your top acts off the top show over something petty does seem like a pretty CMLL thing to do though,

They should have had Eva's voice over guy announce her suspension.

Well this is about to get hilarious.

They did those in NXT when was in Paris filming Total Divas and it was great.

ADR = all time GOAT if true,

They debuted him in front of a hot LA crowd eager to cheer him, only to pair him up with Zeb the same night, Pretty sure he got the memo right there they weren't going to do anything meaningful with him.

So CMLL announced they are finally starting to work with ROH, which everyone was waiting for since both of them have talent exchanges with New Japan, This seems like a win-win for both sides. CMLL has like a billion guys they don't ever seem to use much, ROH needs some new faces to spice things up, and CMLL ownership is so hands off they likely won't give a shit if their guys job as long as they get their cut so ROH guys don't have to be cannon fodder like they are to New Japan.

I don't think anyone's overrating Del Rio's ability to point out he could have been used better in WWE, especially right after we saw him being used better in ROH/AAA/LU right before. He's clearly a guy who has some talent but can also mail it in like nobody's business when not motivated, and I'd gather it was hard to find much motivation in recent times.
