C.S.

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.

No show thread this week? I didn't even have any desire to tune in. Is the bloom finally off the rose? Cody vs. Dustin deserved that MOTY though, and man, what a swank plaque.

Heyman seems to cool off on people though, or Vince cools off on them for him. We've already seen it with Cedric Alexander, Mike Kanellis, and Vic Joseph. I'm astounded Buddy Murphy is still being featured. I wonder if Seth took a liking to him and lobbied for him.

This pretty much proves that Humberto is dead in the water. If he didn't get the title tonight after that, WWE clearly doesn't see much in him.

Amazing segment!

Time for Drew to Claymore two geeks. OC is the lamest shit ever. They make Undisputed Era and White Supremacy Imperium seem good.

Honestly not looking forward to the next few weeks of shows, as they'll all be builds for SaudiMania, which I won't be watching.

Hiya, Bubba

I'm kinda hoping one of the WM matches is Seth, AOP, and Buddy vs. Ro, Joe, KO, and Show. Much preferable to Roman vs. Fiend.

It's going to come down to Drew and either Orton or Corbin, isn't it? (With Edge also in the Final Four?) Edit: Well, not Corbin...

Don't worry, he'll lose to Brock in under 10 minutes at Mania.

Is Drew going to eliminate 13 himself? As boring as that would be, I kinda hope so.

Well, he didn't look like shit, but that was hardly the best use of him either.

At least the hug stuff was different and fun, and a nice acknowledgement of their legit background, past, and friendship.
