We'll I give her credit for being very outspoken about this since the beginning. She probably thinks they won't let her go because it'll look bad on them or either she wants to be outspoken just to get let go. They'll never use her right in a non wrestling role so I think if she was to leave she'd probably have a better non Wrestling role in AEW. AEW is alot better at using Legends and other non wrestlers on TV than WWE. Its crazy how WWE is past year and a half went from snatching talent from everywhere to keep them away from AEW, to letting people go because they feel that the pandemic would prevent AEW from having any momentum regardless of who the pick up from off their TV.

This is the first KUSHIDA match I've seen since being in NXT.

With Becky gone is going to seem like Charlotte is extremely overpushed. Neither Sasha or Bayley are pushed as strong as her. Nicki Bella and Ronda are the only other Women in recent history that been pushed to the level of Charlotte or Becky. Charlotte is not as crisp at times but I think she has been an exceptional worker they past few years so I can tolerate it. She can pull off some really good matches. You cant really say that about other people mentioned, including HHH,. HHH has had some great matches but I don't think he was capable of doing it as many times as he should have considering hoe many times he was put into the position to. Corbin isnt multiple times World/Universal champ yet so cross him out.

One of the charms about El Generico was that he protected it, he was always in gimmick when you saw him. I don't think Cornette the El Generico gimmick, he probably had that Vince McMahon thought process of the mask hindering his work because of no facial expressions which I've never understood because majority of masked wrestlers sell so much better with the rest of their body because they cant sell the face. Before everyone on the indies made a trend of everything being a wink and a nod to the audience, El Generico willing to keep kayfabe and allow fans to take him seriously on top of him being a very excellent worker.

Really, I could see Hunter wanting to run with it after his NXT run but I dont see Vince signing off on that idea. He's been underdog since day one on the main roster. He's one of the more interesting heels they've had though but other that being associated with Owen's at times he hasn't really been highlighted too well. He could've really added some value to the IC title if they featured him like he should because he's entertaining.

I think Shayna is going to be one of the few that comes off better in this no audience environment.

Its weird seeing Gable in Basketball shorts, last time I seen him he had Golden State inspired shorts today he has Laker inspired shorts. I dont like that he's going by Shorty G instead of using in as a nickname. Its like they want you to notice that he's "undersized"

Dream should've been on the main roster over a year ago. If he had, he probably wouldn't be having these Takeover style matches judging by how toned down Ricochet is compared to his NXT run an of course even before then.

Because Vince believes he has the most heat, Corbin embraces the heat he has very well, and I like it. The King Corbin thing is corny but he is handling it well but these gang style beat down doesn't make make him a stronger heel. People coming to Roman's aid is too old school for Vince

What's the difference between now and the time HHH stopped Bryan's match and this was before his documented WWE injuries.

That's Vince's idea of heat and unfortunately Roman has been the victim of this type of heat probably more than anyone.

I noticed during Haberto vs Almas and Black vs Murphy they pointed out Almas only loss on RAW was from Hamberto. And both Black and Murphy was undefeated going into TLC since the draft. It would be nice if Vince was more Cognizant of how often guys lossed get away from 50/50 booking. I'm not ready for Zelina and Almas to split, I fear what they to for Zelina unless that transition her to strictly a wrestler. She's dope as a manager. Kofi , The New Day in general take some of the most unconventional bumps even in basic matches. Free fall bumps and sick dives. That was a good TLC outside of guys being incompasonated for way too long but that's a WWE trope for these type matches

The Lana/Rusev/Lashley angle is not bad because Rusev has consistently been over with the audience to some degree for a long time, even when they intend for him not to and Lashley finally gets a chance to show personality that he never got the chance in WWE. Atleast one of them win Vince over and get a main event program. Otis too. He is unexplainably over, He kinda reminds me of when Fatu started the Rikishi gimmick, I believe he started as a heel teaming with Viscera a few times before they put him with Too Cool as a Babyface. He was over a fuck, he was facing Hunter for the title with in a month.

Whatever keeps her away from the creative department is fine with me. I'm fine with her being the person that takes credit for the Women's evolution and what ever charity as long as she's not thing writers room. Heck isn't she the reason for the current structure with all these hand full of writers that are from the outside.

I like that he embraces the negative reaction from fans too, even on social media. He seems to be enjoying being this heel. I feel like Reigns would have loved to get to be this type of heel years ago because he is good with taking the type of heat an rubbing it in

If they add Sonya and Mandy to the womens Tag it will kill my interest in Sane and Asuka possibly being featured on PPV as a team. Ziggler has go away heat but the fact that Miz is the only person that can have a match with him and everyone is in to it makes it fine.

Ziggler works like he purposely doing impersonations of his favorite wrestlers at different parts of the match. Almost like he's saying "look I'm Rick Rude" *swivels hip the elbow "look I'm Mr Perfect * Slingshot into the corner bump "look I'm Billy Gunn" *FameAsser . And he must have heard Agents say selling is a dying Art, so he sells like he is trying too hard to impress the agents in the back. It's like he Wrestles like he's trying to impress the Wrestlers he grew up watching by the way he sells. Selling is a lost art but like Austin says, he sells to much to the point it has made him too vulnerable to be taken serious as a top guy. He's past that widow now anyway but still.

They are basically used to shill other angles and PPVs right now on RAW and I think they've been some of the most enjoyable non hiring parts of the show. I'm sure Vince probably just sees the as another Urban Tag team. Heyman probably came up with the idea of using them on the show. Honestly, when they do make their inring debut I think they'll be very over especially for a homegrown NXT act. I've seen the live at an EVOLVE show, they can't get the crowd behind them. Outside of Lars , most the.other recent call ups didn't get any real introduction or hype behind them. At least Black and Ricochet got some high profile matches off the brake and when Black moved to SD recently they Basically built him up again as a singles recently and Ricochet benefited from Rey getting hurt. I think if the company intentionally invested in building these call ups instead of just using them as temporary fix to freshen the roster they'd benefit so much.

Wasn't Vince high on Andrade? If made a conscious effort to build him up coming on of that series of matches with Rey, they could've had him be a fresh challenger for Kofi in the Summer, they would've tore it down plus Andrade needs to be in a program that doesn't involve multi person matches every other week. Andrade as a serious threat to Roman would be good too. But like C.S. said there's no reason why they shouldn't have built up guys like Rusev he still remains over with the audience enough to where they still can. Say what you will about Wyatt's ring work as a singles but he's been given creative freedom and look at him but that's Raw. Even if they go back to Roman, what fresh heels does he have, he and Owen's was done already you can do he vs Bryan, but who else

Vince hasnt has legitimate competition in about 18 years, He used to being petty with talent and punishing them through booking. He is just going to throw deals out to keep certain guys that want to leave, It might not work for every talent but He'll try. Now that they have potential competition in AEW, Vince cant just be content with this money he has from these deals. Guys see more potential working the Indies or Japan or even Mexico outside of WWE. Even with NXT they have way to many people on their roster. Guys arent going to be ok with being moved to 205Live, then UK and NXT.

I hope this doesn't turn out to be basically Raw and SDLive switching Rosters for the most part because that's what its looking like. I hope the keep a few of the SD aces on SDLive.

I knew Bryan vs was something that has to be seen live as it happens. It couldve ended the show and probably gotten the same reaction. I gotta go back and watch some of the other matches cause I was dosing off. AJ vs Orton seemed really good. I missed Lashley vs Balor heard it was one of the best matches on the show.

Kofi, Roman, Becky , Angle Certainly not HHH but one or more of these Babyfaces are not going over if you base thinks off Vince logic of not wanting all the Babyfaces going over in Featured matches at Mania Even he thinks about the day of the show or even during the show.

I agree , but I've said before they having put any steam on Asuka at all since after RR. If she did have a match it wouldn't have gotten much time. When she won the title at TLC , alot of people were bringing up that fact that some of the audience had written her off after she lost at WM to Charlotte only for Charlotte to drop the title 2 days later. After TLC fans were saying that people were getting carried away about criticizing the use of Asuka. She had a good match with Beck at RR that led to Becky winning the RR but other than that she's been just a Placeholder for title after WM when Charlotte and Becky and Ronda go back to their prospective brands. It was a last minute decision for Asuka to drop the title on SDLive. Her Mania match probably wouldn't have made the Main show so I dont understand the heat for Charlotte winning. All other the other over females are booked in more featured matches. If they had her vs Alexa, I could see the anger or Maybe have her run through Lacy Evans but knowing WWE they wouldve wanted too much offense from Evan's for it to be fun.

That Sitdown Promo with JR is the only thing that sticks with me about that build. I forgot that Vince made Debra the Rocks Valet. Alot of the shit in the build to the 3 way will be forgotten before the match and the atmosphere will be lit one the match starts. I doubt we get a curtain call at the end. If we do Charlotte will turn heel.
