MoS

The women's match was sloppy and should never have gone that long, but it had really great personalities and I hope they continue to be utilised, in a better way. Penelope is a star, Britt is amazing, and Statlander has real potential. Shida of course is great and has been for a while.

How does that progress to Henry threatening to sue Rush for defamation and questioning his blackness though? And the stuff about plugging his music and calling out Henry cuz he is famous? Sorry, but I am very very confused.

It seems fitting to ask this here: can somebody explain what's happening between Mark Henry and Lio Rush? Apparently Henry threatened to sue Rush for "questioning his blackness"?!

That IS the point though. Steroids are a different thing in my opinion cuz Vince in the 80s changed the perception of what a good pro wrestler is by marketing roided up freaks as the premier athletes. Because of decades of debating about steroids and the bodies they produce, discussing steroids and their effects have become commonplace in pro wrestling. That includes making fun of wrestlers for getting bitch tits while proclaiming in public interviews that they are clean. On the other hand, womens' cosmetic discussions are centred on the same societal prejudices that affect them in every other industry. I don't know if I am communicating my point well, but that makes the reaction to women particularly noxious. That is not to say that men don't get the same treatment ever, but I do feel it's different.

To be fair, there definitely is a double standard as far as reaction: women undergoing such cosmetic surgeries are analysed (and mocked) far more than the men who do so. Not to turn this into the 2020 sleaze thread, but, for instance, it is evident that Rock got some cosmetic work done on him as he was transitioning to Hollywood in 2003-04, but people never really talked about it.

It's not just premature it's also blasphemous. Not until he cuts a Dream-like promo, and he has shown no hints of being an incredible promo.

Came here to post this. What the fuck.

So I don't know who started the "Is Otis the modern-day Dusty" talk on Twitter, but the reactions have been hilariously entertaining, so I am almost glad they did.

It's so unnecessary. He might not get having kids but it was so obvious how much that meant to Becky. Plus, WWE today is not WWE in the late 90s - early 2000s. If Becky wants, she can come back full-time after having the kid - hell, if one of them has to be a stay-at-home parent, I would much rather Seth take that role and get off my TV.

I love how he presumes the father had no agency or joy in the child being born.

Would just like to echo this.

Face Otis - heel Bryan would rock so hard. I can totally imagine Bryan ranting about gluttony destroying our planet. Every time Bryan wrestles he adds to his GOAT case imo.

Good promo by Mox. Pity Brodie Lee was not booked stronger. Another very good show in my opinion. It's interesting because it was mostly about building the PPV and ordinarily it would be a good idea, but we are not in ordinary times and who knows how many buys they get.

Brodie Lee needing outside interference to win is bad booking imo. As it is, he is challenging for the world title out of nowhere with just a couple of squashes and one big match, straight out of WWWF 1960s booking. He needs to look as strong as possible, otherwise it makes a weak main event even weaker. He should have run through Daniels.

At the very least, it's an expensive object that Hardy has been shown to have an attachment to. Hardy sold it accordingly too. It was fine. As FMKK pointed out, it's not close to the stuff he has actually sold through his career. Russo's booking, Katie Vick, I could go on.

If JR cannot sell what he is seeing cuz he needs to be legit or whatever for his fans, the least he can do is not bury it and let others do the selling. He's been awful for a good while. I was definitely NOT missing him.

Sorry, I know some people will hate it but I loved this.

Jericho tweeted the other day that he thinks he is the best wrestler in the world. I look at his work this year and I honestly cannot see how how anyone csn disagree.

Darby is a star.

This match should have ended 10 minutes ago

Is Damascus also magically immune to Covid?

Kris Statlander should do exclusively power spots. I dunno if it's the Omega influence on the women's division, but not everyone needs to do all the moves. I loved that Pinapple Pete promo.

A role model like Dr Baker should really know better than to violate covid guidelines with that nose bump. Disappointing.

Glad to see Luchasaurus moving like he used to. Mox has such a great presence. I wish he was a little better in the ring but he's still an excellent wrestler.

That car entry was so gratuitous lol. Why didn't Cody just enter normally.
