Bayley mocking Kairi was a nice touch. It's a shame she can't be a merch selling monster as a heel. ARTURO RUAS TIME

Riddick Moss doing illegal shit is a nice touch. He's the king!

oh my god the slow burn

man that's a rib and a half. cheering after throwing a cinder block through a glass door is some scooby doo shit, man

Retribution is the Kids' Bop version of whatever they are supposed to allude to.

He just needs to look less like a teenager, put on some muscle and he'll be fine.

Dominik Mysterio is DYING for our sins

Dom's theme is actually pretty good.

Dunno, but Hafthor Bjornsson would be better than Braun at everything. Probably could shoot flip an ambulance, too.

I dunno. I feel that the show's worst tendencies were more transparent from season 5 onwards. Specially the rape as a gimmick (lol at them considering that to be character development). It's not Sopranos or The Wire or even Twin Peaks season 1, but most things made sense internally and had some sense of intrigue.

Remember when that show was tightly scripted? And then from the fifth season onward it turned into SCHLOCK? And all because the showrunners wanted to ruin write Star Wars movies? Good times. Maybe there are more parallels to be drawn there? But well, we got Shayna on the UNDERGROUND, maybe they'll smarten up and have Xia Li beat up fools?

I just can't read this thread below and not think "hm yeah he's having a future office role locked down"

That's awful, awful news. I really enjoyed how he managed to turn an awful, awful gimmick into something entertaining just by being really damn good. Gave us so many fun moments. R.I.P.

Braun suuuuuuucks. We should've gotten Goldberg vs Roman, man. That sucks. Fuck the rona.

I hear ya dawg but like Brazil's been stuck on this pandemic while your neighbors are closing their doors on our faces in and I'm stuck on a severely underpaid job so I guess any entertainment is bliss wwe is escapism, really and i might be wrong but the only wrestling that airs on tv here in brazil is wwe. i could go out of my way to watch aew in one of those shady sites but my god i already spent enough hours in front of my laptop

Gee, bubba.

I don't think they aren't capable. Kofi became a champ after a massive outcry, and Becky gave a heel promo right when she was on her hot streak (it was during Summerslam '18 IIRC) which they never acknowledged again, so they still *can* change the course of the ship when needed. However, they just can't be assed to do it. I mean... just look at those two no-brainers. People had to beg to give Kofi a title reign, and they even entertained the idea of Becky turning heel. They are so stubborn, man.

In-ring, WWE's style is not necessarily the worst one ever. In fact, more often than not it's good, very good. The underlying issues is what goes on between the matches, which I believe is what @World's Worst Manmentioned here. While they did have 4 of the greatest superstars the industry has seen, how much of that was intentional, and how much was pure dumb luck? Austin debuted as The Ringmaster and got the Million Dollar Belt. Huh. Rocky Maivia was far from being over as a smiling babyface and that story has been told many times. Cena was supposed to get fired. Only Hogan seems like the outliar here. They have talent in spades. Their match formula is decent. They utterly fail at producing individuals, though. The corporate machine is more important than any personality, and unluckily enough for them, some of the few that seem to outgrow or even deviate from it, like Riddle and Dream, have enough problems to undercut them, justifiably so, even.

Look if this is just a very convoluted way of getting Triple H a Summerslam match, then we can bury that "Triple H is better than Vince McMahon" thesis that had some momentum a couple years ago. Dude is worthless.

Cole ended up looking bad in all this. Not because he got punt kicked or the fact that he was NXT champ not long ago, but because he got very easily clowned and gotten to. But yeah, Pat showed more personality too.

It's embarrassing how Pat McAfee ends up looking better than Cole. Dude is getting outshined at prowres by a punt kicker.

While Dakota winning was the best decision, I just can't stop thinking about Triple H saying "oh there's a reason for everything" when she lost the title to Charlotte and got pinned by Io.

I'm confused on who exactly is "y'all". There's a whole thread about being terrible in this very message board and most people were like "lol he sucks AND is a dork"

I mean it was just the first time he did it
