C.S.

Except, there are plenty of Hollywood celebrities - far bigger stars than Sasha Banks is or ever will be - who manage to maintain a relative degree of privacy. For example, what do we really know about the private lives of, say, Tom Hanks, Mark Ruffalo, or Christian Bale? (Or Molly Ringwald? ) Not much.

I agree it's not our business, but when you post something on social media as Sasha does, it's public and therefore becomes "everyone's business." Right or wrong, that's the reality of social media. She could have easily kept her issues private, as Harper (mostly) did. No one was forcing her to air her issues and face the inevitable judgment and backlash that comes along with it. Even though I think Sasha is probably the best overall wrestler of the women, I would push Alexa Bliss over her every single time. 1. Alexa can cut a promo. Sasha still struggles with this. Can you imagine Sasha with her own talk segment like Bliss has? I can't. 2. Alexa can play face or heel. Sasha has been a mediocre-at-best face, and that's being kind. 3. Alexa seems like she gets the media stuff, ambassador stuff, etc. far more than Sasha. She also doesn't continually embarrass herself or the company on social media.

Well, the reason why people are reacting differently to Sasha than Harper is probably because: 1. Harper doesn't post a bunch of cryptic "look at me" attention-seeking tweets. 2. Sasha has had a much bigger push and many more opportunities (as @SirEdger pointed out), even if we can all agree that she hasn't been pushed as much or as strongly as we'd like. (Join the club, Sasha - you're not in rare company there.) With that said, it doesn't mean Sasha is entirely wrong (she isn't) or doesn't have legitimate grievances (she does).

I don't get the Cattie hate on this board. Yes, I intentionally spelled it Cattie.

And he doesn't help his case by openly denying that his tweet implied that they threw tantrums, which is exactly what it implies.

This may sound like "bubble" talk, but Gable is someone they could've popped the live crowd with. I'm glad his team with geek Roode is over. Even though WWE probably thinks Roode is the star, Gable has far, FAR, FAR more upside. Update: Heavy Machinery too. https://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/article/superstar-shake-up-2019-results

Yeah, I'll cop to an awful take about Bryan and AJ. Their previous feud was so forgettable that I literally forgot about it. I wasn't a fan of Bryan vs. Roman though. Both of them have had far better matches against others. Although, you're right, the booking didn't help matters anyway. That part, at least, won't be a concern this time around. Edit: I'm not saying it was a bad match or anything - it just didn't strike me as particularly memorable compared to the many better matches they've both had against other opponents. Quoting this because I take peculiar pleasure in @KawadaSmile calling other posters bubba.

I have zero desire to see Bryan vs. Roman in any capacity. People quickly forget how middling their last encounter was. Bryan vs. AJ is the money feud here. Roman is better suited feuding with other opponents. I assume a PPV squash victory over Elias is first on the docket.

The irony is, he'd definitely be on Raw or Smackdown by now. Instead, he's back to using a name even worse than (Adrian) Neville - PAC.

LMAO!

Good point. Aries and Low Ki are career malcontents and two people I would never, ever hire under any circumstances. I hope AEW doesn't waste everyone's time with either. I'm not sure what happened with Neville, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Surely you can't be serious...

Haha. What can I say? I have a soft spot for Brit and Aussie accents, and I think they're fun together. Their silly shtick makes me smile. Iconic Duo was a much better name though. Was there a rights issue with it?

I like The IIconics (well, not the dumb spelling), but I can understand why people wouldn't.

Murphy bet on himself and is now on SDL. He deserves major respect for that. Makes you wonder what would've happened if Neville and Aries were a little more patient.

He was in the instantly forgettable SAnitY stable with Eric Young - a group people like to pretend was more interesting in NXT (it wasn't).

Along with Luke Harper, Alexander Wolfe is gone. (Or just bad at hashtags? Hard to tell.)

I hope Sonya and Mandy are used properly now.

Well, Asuka's firmly in the midcard now. Kinda disappointed it's not Sane and Shirai.

The problem with Ember is that she's so clearly playing a character.

Do you mean his breath?

Mella uses too much tanner. I wish this stupid "everyone must tan" edict would die a thousand deaths.

Plus, Kofi vs. KO - while perfectly fine - doesn't overly excite me.

Ali is at the point where he really needs to win a major match though.

I mean, yeah, Joe is likely headed to Raw, but "reports said" isn't confirmation of anything. In past cases like this, they've run brand vs. brand matches at the following PPV after the Superstar Shakeup to get the titles on whichever show they need it to be on. I could see that happening again.
