Miz won!

THAT'S MIZ AND MARYSE AKA THE GREATEST COUPLE IN PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING

JOHN CENA BAYBEEEEE

It's because of crazy shit like this that Rollins losing doesn't matter in the current conjuncture. Excellent rat shit fucker. Honestly one of the top booked feuds they have done in a long time. Even if it had a torn pec to reach that high high.

I have to say that Cody NOT HAVING (total) free reign over his stuff is Actually Good. He was getting way too cute for his own good. KSJDHAKLSDFLA A HAMMER TO THE PEC ROLLINS IS THE TOP HEEL NOW FUCK THAT GUY

THE SHAKING LOWER LIP AÇKLFJHASDKLFJASBJLK fuck, man

Voice quivered when mentioning his daughter, but no waterworks yet. Ohhh I want names brother

This motherfucker, man. The carniest of his generation.

Hey, life can have a sick sense of humor. Britt, Orton, Becky, all found big breaks after injuries. Sometimes that happens.

Judgement Day getting another member? The fuck? Usos vs Street Profits? Doudrop vs Bliss vs Liv vs Rhea? Damn. There he is!!!!

If you told me WWE would turn Cody Rhodes into the hottest babyface in professional wrestling with good booking and a stroke of luck, I would call bullshit. He was having that crappy feud with Malakai Black featuring Rosario Dawson nine months ago, man.

I'll be worried if he does show up tonight. Should have gone straight to the hospital.

I feel that Rollins' stock rose just as much, man. He is THE guy right now to get a program over, to set new people up for success. Management does see that type of stuff - it's the reason he's heavily featured even when one glimpse of his recent PPV win-loss record tells us he's had it rough. I dunno, bubba. I truly get your point, and maybe because a pec tear is visually one of the most gruesome injuries in terms of visuals, it really feels like they went overboard last night. But at the same time, it doesn't feel *new* to me. Joel Embiid was playing playoff basketball with a torn ligament in his thumb, a fucked up eye, and had a concussion, just so his team could have a chance of winning one game. The discourse of him "having that dog in him" was prevalent. Ronaldo Nazário, aka the greatest Ronaldo in footy, played on styrofoam knees just so his team could have a chance of reaching the Champions League, and as a result of pushing it further (and it was known how fucked his knee was at the time), in 2000 his knee EXPLODED. The road to his recovery got attention from the media, Brazilian and international, there were lots of vignettes on TV, to the point they ended up becoming a meme, and by 2002 he was back, winning the World Cup and all. Martyrdom was 100% there. In regards to pro wrestling, I dunno. Maybe it's because things have changed a lot since then in regards to how we consume things, but I am pretty sure the narrative surrounding the Orndorff/Hogan feud would be different, knowing what we know now. Mr. Wonderful's arm *shrunk*, yet the feud kept going as it was doing huge numbers.

That seems ill advised too, tbh Whole body held together by paper clips and chewing gum, his head spinning like a record baby. Either management knew and just trusted his word (maybe he said he would hold things until he could put Page over?) or he didn't tell anyone for some time, which is unwise. I mean, while not being blatantly self-serving like Cody showing up with a dead arm, we have time and time again seen shit like this happening. Paul Orndorff's arms were totally different because he didn't treat it as fast as he could - why risk a big pay day? WCW had Macho Man work twice with a torn tricep and fucked up his arm even more. By comparison, last night seemed like a careful approach. Again, I really don't think a bad or dangerous precedent was set yesterday, because the precedent was set ages ago. This has happened in wrestling and in other sports, backstage and in the open.

I think Seth has become a tremendous asset. He doesn't need to win a lot, and is massively over just due to him being a master troll in the build of his feuds. Dressing up as Halloween Havoc '98 Rey? Great. Showing up in full SHIELD gear, complete with the theme song? Aces. Having a polka dot gear to fuck with Cody? Masterful. Like, he really doesn't *need* to hold a championship title at this point. His character work is so damn good right now that most of his feuds are engaging because of it. He found his groove in ring, too. Before he was a heel who wrestled like a babyface, and when he was a face he just too whiny. Now he's intentionally whiny, controlled his offense, and is just great.

Cody was out there crying on his first promo back. He might have cried during his Mania match, too. Working with a visually gruesome injury like that is one hundred percent in character. Maybe it will work this time and he will finally be the top guy he always wanted to be.

That would be the biggest concern, but they did work in a way that Cody didn't have to do a lot of heavy lifting. Also, I don't think this match changes anything, really. People like Cesaro and KOR frequently wrestle cosplaying as the Yeti, with fucktons of bandages to help with pain, Omega wrestled with VERTIGO while holding five different belts and could barely lift his arms... I am not saying that Cody going for it is necessarily smart, but the precedent was there way before he showed how fucked he was. It would be much more dangerous if he had a concussion or something.

Percody Rhodes hits different, man. Dude took the dumbest fucking spots in AEW for no good reason and decided to one up himself.

Yeah this motherfucker is 100% pinning Roman

Incredible.

BULLROPE MATCH

This is really making me wince in pain.

Look I turned around on Seth I just never wanna see him be a champion ever again.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL look at Seth's gear

Fuck outta here with that shit. You don't do that do Chicago's most beloved wrestler.
