Get that BUM away from LA Knight

Fucking hate it. Her back isn't impressive to the point she'd do that pose that frequently.

Not discounting anything. I said the wrestling landscape, specially the women's wrestling landscape, has moved on and improved without her. She has undeniable importance and her 1st half of the 2010s is good, her debut on the main roster is still a great moment in history. However, from 2015 onward she's had two big injuries which cost her half a decade of in-ring action. She retired at age 25!! She's just not the person you can have come out and say "I'm the best you guys fucking suck take a look and take notes motherfuckers", and that's no fault of her own. Others have done more to build things when she couldn't because she literally wasn't able to.

And like, it's Saraya. I know some people are really high on her, but she hasn't wrestled in like 5 fucking years. Portraying her as anything more than someone who's rusty and has something to prove is absurd. I've said it before but it begs repeating: women's wrestling landscape moved on and improved without her. To have her come out and say that she built this scene borders on sneaking in a heel turn (or just having her be a heel from the start). You can buy someone like Becky Lynch or even Nikkisawa trying to top dog others. Not her. You have people

Yeah, it's not so much "hatred" as Theory was stuck in a miserable position booking-wise, so Triple H had to finish something that didn't even start. A redemption arc getting him back to The Way isn't the worst thing, even if we did get a stupid angle to kickstart that.

It truly feels like Eddie has been doing the same "down bad" angle for like years now. He's always on a downward spiral. Never really gets a moment that he could cherish. It sucks, man. They had everything in place for him to get that massive W over Jericho at Blood and Guts, yet they trolled the audience by having Claudio get the tap.

Morale is High Singer is Masked Walls is Jericho

Being a dumb meathead is essentially the only role Theory could get over. Trying to go from that to CHOSEN ONE is wild shit. But hey, Triple H going to reform The Way on the main roster. All we need is Indi.

Lovely stuff. Even woke up a dead crowd.

IIRC it did sell-out the Nassau Coliseum, but it was around the level of their B-tier Pay Per Views. Not a flop, a good result for a first of its kind for WWE, yet not something that they would be doing constantly.

We should just call it straight up propaganda, sadly. I mean, World Cup '78 was held in Argentina during a military dictatorship (the home team won) and Cruyff refused to participate, as it was gonna be just propaganda (as the WC usually tends to be, regardless of the host country's political state). Stuff like this is normalized because it has been normalized long ago. The '34 edition of the World Cup was propaganda for Mussolini-led Fascist Italy. Sports are just that closely linked to whatever you want to promote in your country. In fact, I would argue that we have more voices being heard going against this kind of thing than before. Maybe we also have more people supporting what is clearly State propaganda? I dunno.

I dunno if WWE will bother doing it again. I mean, they still need Becky, Sasha and Naomi to come back. They had Nikkisawa (who's pretty dam great) previously. I think it would take them some time building more names up to generate more interest. Regarding the ending angle: yes, I know the point was to turn Seth face, Lashley heel, and get rid of the MitB gimmick. But if Lasher accepts an open challenge, why beat Rollins so much that he can't even have the match? Why would Theory cash in on the US Title? Why would Lashley even bother beating Theory's ass? I guess Bobby does end up looking like one big asskicker, but still... As for the WOH GAMES match, it's got to be Alexa/Asuka/Bianca/Mia(??)/??? vs Damage Control/Nikki Cross/Rhea, right?

What the fuck is this main event segment, even

RIP 24/7 Title

Yo, just saw this bubba! Congrats baybeeeee
