  1. As good as MJ was, this documentary series is making me love Pippen more and more with each episode.
  2. I don't even understand why they would do this to Roman. This is beyond parody. Charlotte is like the skill of Ric Flair combined with the politicking of HHH. Like the deadliest combo ever.
  3. Waking up and going on Twitter on Raw mornings is always rewarding - This company wow lol
  4. Yeah I think she could fit great into the Gina Carano niche. She would need to have Ronda-level bad acting to screw that up.
  5. Roman is the one guy I would most like to see outside the WWE system. I remember, in 2015, when he had "taken Bryan's spot" and was cutting Looney Tunes promos and hatred against him was paramount, Meltzer wrote that at some press conference, he had seen Roman and Steve Austin cut impromptu promos on each other, and he said Roman went toe to toe with him and kept up with Austin all the way. I bet he would be able to cut a delightful heel promo in front of a rabid AEW fanbase, for instance.
  6. Becky is really charismatic and if I am not mistaken, she used to take acting lessons way back. I haven't seen her appearance in Billions, but she can definitely be a successful movie star Gina Carano style. Kevin Owens is also injured. I swear if this leads to them putting the title on Rollins so they can have Owens feud with him on his return, I will make 20 comments in a row just bitching about it. And bitching about Seth. Steph definitely helped cool off Becky but pairing her with her dork fiance also played a role.
  7. Yeah, Authority era-Steph was terrible. Becky recently revealed in an interview that Rock's agent now represents her and both Rock and Cena are giving her advice about movies. Given how Rock's contract situation was treated in 2005, no doubt he is telling her to get the fuck away from WWE and Steph/Hunter.
  8. Keeping this connected to the thread topic, I would say so, yeah. 2011 had Taker-HHH and HHH-Punk, which really were also two matches that shaped the course of modern wrestling imo. HHH-Punk because I think one of the reasons Punk lost was because that was a way to get him continued sympathy because he was still "being buried by the management" or whatever. The storyline absolutely did not make any sense to have HHH pin Punk, but traditional storytelling was no longer the priority by then.
  9. This is more of a booking decision than a match per se: as was touched upon elsewhere, Royal Rumbles 2014 and 2015, cuz they made WWE feel that the only way to get heat in the modern era is to make the promotion the heel and to book every face as an underdog fighting against the unfair system.
  10. Thanks for the answers guys. I can see the capacity argument in the modern era. It's interesting, because I would have thought they would have run at least one Yankee Stadium show - or even one stadium show in the NY area - during the Hogan era, when WWF was expanding its fanbase greatly but still considered New York its home territory.
  11. I thought of this while going through results of WWE cards: why has WWE never run a show in Yankee Stadium? It's in their home market and surely they would sell out for a big event. Even when they did a WrestleMania in the area, they preferred NJ.
  12. In my fantasy world, Wardlow turns out to be an excellent promo and goes on to become everything Rusev could and should have been
  13. Is Triple H still in charge of booking NXT, with his demotion? His newest title has him in charge of global development or something. I would also like to echo the sentiment about Ryan Ward. For someone who had a really good rep a couple of years back, I haven't heard anything about him.
  14. This I won't disagree with. Rewatching the 2000 stuff, I thought it was striking how much more ass Steph showed compared to Shane, but the Authority stuff was definitely awful.
  15. I think Wardlow has looked best of the three monster heels they have.
  16. I tried to separate on-screen presence in my original comment, but her kayfabe actions and backstage role are probably too tied up for this. As far as castrating faces (and heels) goes, yes, true, but Shane since basically the beginning would always go toe to toe with the top stars and, depending on whether he was a face or heel, often get the better of them. I remember Rock selling for him to a ridiculous extent, in 2000, when Rock was bigger than wrestling. Sure, Rock was always really selfless for a top guy, but he was not the only one. The only one who treated him like a proper jobber was Steve Austin.
  17. This is not really related, but Shane McMahon has been a worse on-screen presence than Stephanie for decades now and I will never understand why Steph gets so much more hatred than Shane. Btw, isn't it funny how 5 months back, Darby Allin and Sammy Guevera were just talented newcomers while Keith Lee was red-hot and super over, with tons of momentum coming off Survivor Series. Now, Allin feels like a star and Sammy is a far bigger deal despite doing quite a few jobs, while Keith Lee is basically in the same position he was before, all his momentum completely squandered, just another guy cutting typical WWE promos and having typical WWE matches. Oh but he has a belt now.
  18. I don't think he is bad, but he is definitely overrated. I really thought it was Dustin who made the match good.
  19. I found this entire exchange hilarious.
  20. That was a good match and I liked the ending. Really enjoyed Dynamite tonight. AEW is getting really good at week to week booking.
  21. Was that blood hardway or did Dustin blade?
  22. Moxley feels like a big superstar. Really glad for him.
  23. Jericho saying Jim Ross might be a part of the Dark Order is the best thing to emerge out of the Dark Order angle.
  24. Jericho makes bad matches feel good.
  25. Both Havoc and Sabian are useless. Orange is really over but Penelope Ford has something special. Hopefully she is branched out on her own down the line.
