C.S.

THIS IS WHAT LASHLEY AND MIZ WERE DISCUSSING. Miz wil cash in.

Cool finish.

So much for that...

I'm calling it now: Sheamus wins the title, Drew regains it in front of a crowd to get his "WrestleMania moment."

Kofi still looking over his shoulders after being attacked that one time before a Chamber match years ago is amazing

Is Reginald French?

Careful.. This quote will come back to haunt you at the end of the night when Orton wins the WWE Title in the Chamber and Edge ends up picking him instead.

He just hacked mine.

WHAT A BANGER BUBBAS!

Probably the latter since there will be yet another PPV before WrestleMania (which I won't be watching unless they use it to test-drive a live WWE PPV on Peacock before Mania, which is what they should do).

Bryan will job in a pointless match. NO! NO! NO!

And proud of it!

Sami Zayn or Jey Uso are the most entertaining options IMO since we know Roman is winning regardless. (Sami should be pushed as a serious main eventer, but that ain't happening right now at least, so plenty of time to rehab him later.) Cesaro would be a great match, but this loss would probably end his push and cup of coffee in the main event. Bryan losing to Roman is just another buzzkill, like it always is when that happens. No more KO or Corbin vs. Roman - please, I'm begging you!

As if any of that is his fault... C'mon! Plus, without crowds, better to get a gig that's more speaking and less physical punishment.

I think Morrison deserves a bigger push, but 1. Not at the expense of Ali. 2. Not like Morrison is winning tonight anyway.

BOOOOOOOOO

I asked this in the Network thread, but it's worth repeating here: My billing date is coming up soon, and I already have access to a separate Peacock account, so I don't need whatever WWE will do to transition to that. Anyone else thinking of cancelling the Network after tonight? I don't really fancy paying another $9.99 for what will end up being a partial month.

I was thinking of Hell's Kitchen, not Kitchen Nightmares. I actually liked Kitchen Nightmares a lot. Considering that 18-year-old Rock is 36 in real life, I'm thinking probably. I honestly hope so. I feel like I'm the only one who liked The Big Show Show. Probably, because it was cancelled.

Yeah, I also recall Nash saying HBK purposely botched the Jackknife, but Nash seemed amused and understanding about it all.

I love Gordon Ramsay but I hate Kitchen Nightmares (USA) Hell's Kitchen because his persona on that show is so obviously fake and exaggerated for effect. While I'm sure that's true to varying degrees on all of his shows, he really turns up the volume on Kitchen Nightmares Hell's Kitchen in a way I don't find particularly believable or interesting. Those isolated quotes are gold though.

Thanks for that detailed explanation, @The Thread Killer. I wonder how poor Jose Lothario felt about all this from his perspective? I'd be hurt and PO'd, but I dunno, maybe he was old school and just happy for the unexpected payday despite the toxic spoiled brat attitude of his preening prima donna trainee.

And Lothario wasn't exactly charismatic or good on the mic. The payoff at the end with Sid made it all worth it though.

What is the story here? I've never heard this. Without fully knowing the details, it sounds to me like Omega is dead wrong here. Look, I'm not one of those guys who goes along with the old "shut your mouth and open your ears" bullshit the veterans spout off with bits of dip stuck in their teeth, but I do find it preposterous that Kenny Omega in his first few years in the business would act like Harley Race couldn't teach him anything. Come on... Again, I don't know the whole story, so maybe I'm missing some nuance here - I don't know. Then again, in the book "The Somebody Obsession" by indie wrestler Matt Murphy, he didn't always write glowingly of Harley's camp. That was more down to the trainers Harley employed though, such as bitter vets like Malia Hosaka (according to him anyway).

Well, those are two weird examples. For as much as Rock is an a-list megastar, Streep is miles ahead of even that and has reached an untouchable point in her career where she can say and do whatever she wants. Rihanna is in a different industry entirely. (Well, okay, she has done some acting - like playing Marion Crane on Bates Motel - yes, the Janet Leigh role from Psycho.) I'll defend Rock a little bit from the standpoint that he's a double minority who grew up poor (the famous "seven bucks" story) and is probably petrified of "losing everything" like he saw happen to his dad. That is probably why he is so cautious - or "vapid," as you put it. Streep doesn't have that issue as a wealthy white woman. Rihanna isn't white, obviously, but that's a different industry and not one I am well-versed in.
