Yep. Also, I can't wait until magically everyone is going "Wow, Raw is so much better now Heyman is a genius". Although of course it is something, at the very least. But like it's been said, how much of this is only in storylines ? Not too sure what to think about this. Hey, if it actually makes the product better, good for them. Also, that makes Conrad in an interesting position. He's got basically two WWE guys and one AEW guy now on his podcast business. Kinda crazy.

Must be ridiculous in the building. When you think you could not make WWE stuff less organic that is was.

Yep. And this show was just awesome for the atmosphere. The main event was probably the worst match of all, because Mascara 2000 is old as fuck, but still fun thanks to the super hot crowd and Ultimo Guerrero being his great self.

No, it's funny as fuck.

Meltz deadpan humour can be really, really funny. Seth is totally having a social media breakdown. It's... kinda sad infact, yes.

"Money for nothing"

I wasn't aware of that one.

A career of undercutting anyone who could upstage his ass maybe ?

Well, that's neither here nor there. Rollins is just acting like a total insecure douche.

How so ?

His tweets toward Will Ospreay are completely pathetic too. And I don't even want to mention Baron Corbin's. Poor mofos, they are so insecure.

HHH got sucked up to the top.

"Crowds react to Baron Corbin" is akin to "Crowds pop for Sid" in WCW in 1999 and 2000. Good for those for are left in the building, which is less and less and less and less. Of course he's not their only problem. But the constant focus on him really displays the complete incompetence and tone-deafeness of the booking in grand fashion.

Did gigantic business in Japan with UWF and UWF-I, and in the US with nWo, which Bischoff TOTALLY NOT COPIED FROM UWF-I NO HE DID NOT. So it can still be the hottest thing if done right, which isn't that hard to do. Contra, however, is not that at all. It's a poorly drawn sketch of an invasion angle with people with no motivation. Unless your name is Dario Cueto, yes, please, never again, not before at least 30 years.

Their insistance on pushing Baron Corbin is one clear evidence they are creatively broken. He's a completely proven death, has been for months and months, yet they still push him. Now they settle the new hot thing from the women's division with him, and it can only end up bad for her. This guy has been an anchor forever, hell, they even made fun of the fact he was ratings death on their own program ! Yet they still push him, while they managed to bury everyone who dared getting over on their own.

Also, they obviously want to push Lacey Evans hard. And so what do they do ? They pair her with Baron Corbin, who's a proven DEATH, on all levels. It's amazing. Anyone who still believe the show is gonna get magically good once they get on Fox, I have no idea what to tell you. They are broken. Delete, please.

So, Seth Rollins has been a proven failure on top, both as a heel and a babyface, and now he's acting like a little bitch and a corporate drone. What a douche. Watch more WWE shows headlined by Seth sell zilch tickets and get all-time low ratings while AEW sells out their shows with no TV yet and Mox is getting into the legit most critically acclaimed and most intense and rigorous pro-wrestling event.

Well, if that's the reason, he should come back as the White American Bad Ass, really... Rollin' rollin' rollin' with dem Harris boys...

I jumped right into the Voodoo Wrestling in Congo, and I won't spoil anything, but everybody should watch that. I can't think of anything more "pro-wrestling" that what you see during that episode. Amazing stuff.

Agreed. Reminds me of Don Frye. Those kicks were Miz-level soft. Raised on Aja Kong punting the shit of of smaller girls, I have no idea why those guys these day don't lay their shit in. No one asks them to be Aja nor Kawada, but still. You're spot on about the look too, the MMA shorts are ok, but sometime he really look like some random goof and not a world champion MMA style fighter. About the booking of the Von Erich's debut, could not agree more. Didn't made sense, but nothing involving Contra does. Plus, they should really spot inserting the Contra logo randomly during the broadcast, like they were hacking the program, it reeks of "let's do the nWo" cosplaying, without any actual direction and without any reason either. I mean, they are terrorist, they hack the feed to put they logo on, they abduct the champ and cut his hair, then they attack officials after being chased off by the babyfaces.... Honestly, the booking of most of the show has been pretty lame lately, and the way the show are structured reeks of the 90's. I don't want to point out Corny, because MLW always had that retro feel to it, but still, in the last few weeks it has really struck me. That Low-Ki squash was lame as fuck and a complete waste of time. It's Low-Ki, he's established. You can establish is new finisher in an actual competitive match. Oh, they already did it BTW, so why waste everybody's time like it's some RAW from 1994 ? The show is 50 mn of "content" on Youtube and it still drags. They are running thin on regular talent too it seems, honestly. Too much really young indy kids running around, although some have potential. And one last thing, the lack of women really feels odd in the current scene. I mean, even ROH has a women's division, as depleted as it is. Bauer can't find four good workers on the circuit ? I'm still watching because it's on Youtube and doesn't take time, but my interest has gone way down. Salina should get more air-time, she's the only in-house star.

Didn't he do that at Mania a few years ago already ?

Oh fuck. Raw is from Parts Unknown this week ?

Not watching the show, who are you referring to ?

Well, that Contra vs Lawlor & Von Erich brawl was a whole lot of not a whole lot. Like, a decent little brawl with Ross Von Erich especially looking all fired up, but pretty dire next to the terrific Callihan vs Warner brawl of the previous week. They try to make it like it's a super heated issue, but the reality is that Contra still have expressed zero motivation and the Von Erich's have been thrown in there from nowhere. No idea about the Von Erich boys as this match really didn't allow much of a talent showcase, but sorry, using the fucking claw in 2019 looks really dumb. It was cheesy as shit already in the 80's, even as a cosplay in 2019 it's really pushing it. The post-match was all wild with Contra attacking officials, but really, what the fuck are Contra to begin with ? Also, Lawlor brought back the lighest balsa wood board ever, Kevin Sullivan would be proud (and yeah, it looked stupid but funny). Well, MLW doesn't seem to be heading anywhere interesting in term of direction. The shows seem to have more and more replays of angles (seriously, three times in a 48 mn show ?) and video package and feels light on actual content (which is not always very good either, that Jordan match was rough and reeked of indy greenness). Warner vs Salina's stable is the only thing I kinda look forward too. I hope Wagner Jr. is gonna be thrown in this, because otherwise, no idea where his old ass would fit out of the lucha context. Where the fuck is Austin Aries already ? Maybe he quit before he debuted...
