C.S.

Hausman has nothing to do with the shithead travel coordinator liking anti-Punk tweets. That should be grounds for an instant dismissal. My guess is she rightly got chewed out by Punk for being lazy, incompetent, useless, and just plain bad at her job, and she passive-aggressively liked that tweet in respond. Would a travel coordinator also handle Visa issues? If they do, then fire her immediately - she actively sabotaged AEW's biggest show ever with her piss poor planning.

Punk really does work with children.

Maybe the Bucks and FTR are hoping Punk and Omega will get in the same room and decide to make money for all of them.

Yeah, unquestionably, MJF is scared to death of that notorious hooker Adam Cole taking liberties with him in the ring.

What the FUCK. I'm in shock.

This one hurts. R.I.P. to an absolute all-time LEGEND in every sense of the word. Terry Funk headlined so many eras and was beloved by 3 or 4 generations of wrestling fans. There was nobody else like him.

FTR = Fire this reject Yes, I also think Jimmy Uso should have been fired after his multiple road incidents.

I misread this as Miro and was very confused.

Like I said before, Triple H's insistence on completely stripping Austin Theory of his personality is what killed his heat. Yeah, yeah, "funny don't make money" - blah, blah, fucking blah! Fuck you, Cornette, you out-of-touch old fossil. You can make someone more serious without completely erasing everything about their character. Instead, Trips took a sledgehammer to what made Theory work. It was a jarring transition that made absolutely no sense. It's a joke whenever someone talks about WWE chasing Emmys, because this is a perfect example of Bad Storytelling 101.

Not sure why this wasn't an option with Theory. A heel champ is presumably easier to write for. New creative is the same as the old creative - boring and bankrupt.

I went ahead and started this topic since no one else did and we're almost an hour into Raw already.

A couple of things: 1. Bret's Dandy promo came and went at the time without much fanfare. It wasn't until years later that it became a "meme" of sorts. 2. Let's face it: El Dandy would be completely unknown and forgotten in the United States if not for Bret's promo. Obviously I don't mean forgotten by hardcore American fans of lucha, PWO users, etc. I'm referring to the other 99% of fans. Whether that's fair or unfair, that's the reality. That was an all-timer. I loved Regal and hated Larry, but based on the sheer strength of their face and heel work, that feud had me rooting for Larry.

Ryan Nemeth was supposedly sent home after "words" with CM Punk. I completely believe that a nobody would be sent home after clashing with a top star - it's a tale as old as time - but I wonder what the story is here, if there is one.

Yeah, as I commented elsewhere, it's some of the most tone deaf "wrestling bubble" shit I've come across in years - and that's really saying something, because notoriously bad takes are a seemingly weekly occurrence in wrestling.

Dumbass of the year award goes to... *DING DING DING* Bryan Alvarez!!!

The internet was rising then, and "smart fans" loved "good workers" like Dean Malenko. It was an effective publicity stunt - nothing more, nothing less - and it worked.

The Bloodline has officially jumped the shark. Should've gone with Sami in Montreal.

How the fuck does that illogical nonsense make any sense?

THE GENIUS OF THE SKY!

Because this show, as usual, is too long. I get the criticism of leaving Becky-Trish and others off the card, but good Lord, I get burned out after three hours. No matter how good a show is, there's only so much I can watch without feeling fatigued.

AJ Styles should have won. He was the only Southerner left in the match and therefore the only one who probably eats Slim Jims.

Future WYATT6 member? Wouldn't be the worst way to use the charisma vacuum known as Karrion Kross.

Agreed. Not sure how he ever made it out of NXT. Even without his sordid sexual history, he's exactly the type of vanilla midget who doesn't succeed on the main roster.

Swift fall from grace for JD McDonough.
