C.S.

Remember when Cedric Alexander had a push? That was a fun few minutes.

You might want to watch the dire Miz-Morrison segment from Smackdown before you wish for that. The movie parody trailers for WM21 were indeed awesome. That level of creativity and talent apparently no longer exists.

Goldberg vs. Roman would be a great match, and it's probably the one they'd go with if Goldberg somehow wins. But Goldberg vs. Bryan would be really intriguing... How has Naomi been mistreated? She won the Moolah Women's Battle Royal a couple of years ago, has been a champion, etc. You knew she wasn't winning this match because the Saudi CLOWN Prince is undoubtedly a racist.

Fiend vs. Goldberg at SaudiMania Blood Money. Zzz! I guess Goldberg doesn't care about losing as long as he can cash those big fat checks. Hot take: I want Goldberg to win and face Daniel Bryan at WM.

NXT has kept my interest more tonight, but this ten lashes angle got me to tune in. Old school still works.

Turned to AEW for a minute, saw Joey Janela, decided I would rather watch commercials before NXT comes back on.

This Devlin-Breeze match is pretty good, even if I miss the time Breeze had a fun character and wasn't just a "serious rassler." I'd welcome a more serious transition, though, if I thought he was ever going to be pushed - but he isn't. With that said, it's nice to be reminded just how damn good Breeze can be.

You've just exposed yourself as someone who didn't bother to read my post. You just wanted an excuse to rant like your hero. You're better than this and one of the best posters here, so act like it. #FUCK I already admitted diagnosing him over the internet wasn't a good idea. With that being said, my reasons weren't because of his "controversial wrestling opinions" on Twitter (I don't follow him) or on his podcast (I don't listen to it or care about it). Go back and actually read what I wrote.

I don’t think Jim developed bipolar disorder at 64 years old, if that’s what you mean. But I do strongly suspect some sort of cognitive condition, like dementia maybe. But you are right that making a diagnosis over the internet is a futile task. Either way, I take absolutely no pleasure in this - I feel sad for Jim.

Not sure how the hell my comment got turned into something about Trump. Cornette's off-the-wall rants about wrestling are not any more or less problematic than they ever were, and not what I was ever talking about. Cornette legitimately burning bridges with close long-time friends like Dave is extremely distressing and a very bad sign. That is what I meant. Implying that I would be flippant about mental illness (your "Mauro's #1 fan" crack) is cheap and unfair. I definitely could've and should've been clearer in my original post, so that's on me, but I wasn't referencing stupid shit he said on a podcast I don't even listen to - I meant the Dave stuff.

What I meant was that Rey wouldn't be losing consistently for a few weeks, then winning, then being Brock's bitch and Cain's second banana, then a U.S. title, then back to losing, etc. etc. etc. Even if Rey didn't appear every week for AEW, his character would still be presented consistently when he did appear.

Rey is basically a step above Matt Hardy in WWE right now. He is used in whatever spot, without any rhyme or reason. Remember when he was losing to everyone, and then he wasn't? In AEW, he would be used consistently and treated like a major player. That doesn't necessarily mean the World Title (although I'm sure he'd eventually have a run), but he would be presented as an important part of the show and utilized to his fullest capabilities.

Rey really should've signed with AEW. I know that's a popular refrain about everyone and their brother, but it's not usually something I say because it's not true most of the time. In this case, it is.

Guys, you all have to come to terms with the fact that Cornette is seriously ill. There's no other explanation. It's sad.

Samoa Joe has apparently been suspended for a WWE Wellness Policy violation. Update: Might be a fake newz rumor from newz sites. I hope so! Joe is finally clicking with me again after all these years.

This is the first time I've ever cared about either Humberto Carrillo or Angel Garza, so angle very well done.

Ricochet really is the shits on the mic.

Raw's three hour runtime and absolutely pointless matches like this one - KO and Viking Raiders vs. BOR (Bitches of Rollins) - really kill the energy and mood.

Football is fake and wrestling is real.

Am I the only one disappointed by this? A snowed out show where they would have to adjust on the fly and be forced to present something original and outside the box could've been a whole lot of fun.

This would easily be worth its own thread if it came from a credible source, but it's from a "newz" site, so take it with a giant pitcher of salt. Still fun to discuss though... "Triple H is surprisingly not being groomed to take over the reins from Vince McMahon. Guess who's in line to do the honours? Shane McMahon!" https://www.sportskeeda.com/wwe/wwe-rumors-triple-h-not-in-line-to-take-over-from-vince-mcmahon-identity-of-the-real-successor-revealed

Different eras and all of that, but like you said, The Shrinkers were believable. They were also intimidating and looked like they could kick ass. The Usos, on the other hand, seem like they could be swallowed up whole by a gust of wind. Sure, there's a size difference, but that isn't what I mean. I think it's more down to their demeanor. Like you said, The Usos get too cute - not only with their moves but also IMO with their promos and mannerisms. I realize forced catchphrases are an unfortunate fact of life in WWE, but The Usos are particularly bad in this area. Having Braun win the title at WM would've at least felt slightly special, but I'm guessing the reason it happened now because Sami can't take a Saudi vacation. (Lucky him!)

Glad I'm not the only one here who can't stand these overrated clowns. In a few years, there will be rumors about them jumping to AEW (spoiler alert: they won't), and everyone will be beside themselves acting like The Usos would be big draws and difference makers to AEW - when the reality is, they wouldn't move the needle one centimeter or add much of anything to a tag division with younger, fresher, hipper, and more exciting acts than them.

Am I being quoted?

The great commentator of our generation, Mauro Ranallo, addressed the Corey Graves situation: https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2020/1/30/21115955/mauro-ranallo-addresses-corey-graves-incident-leaving-social-media-wwe Whether you like Mauro or not, it's hard to disagree with that.
