Montevideo fucking rules bubbas

[Reel]

Chad Gable rules

[Jmare007]

Pasalo bien! Montevideo is pretty damn nice, Punta del Este though, respectfully.

The absolute state of the Smackdown women's division. They had to drag Lita out of mothballs to give Charlotte someone to feud with.

Yes, I know that was last week. But no one wanted to talk about it then.

[KawadaSmile]

Gracias! I went to both Colonia de Sacramento and Punta, both delightful places.

Somehow I am stumbling through my rusty Spanish, much like Orton coasting through good stuff

Wwe is catching somewhat of a break tonight as the playoff game is a blowout

Yeah so far this much hyped expanded playoff format so far produced 3 blowouts and one game (Bengals/Raiders) that wasn't technically a blowout but was never really in doubt. 

[sek69]

Boy they really are trying to avoid the hard cam since it shows so many empty seats.

Lashley/Rollins was fun but it was yet another case of WWE booking a match between two people who can't lose so they telegraph the fuck finish a mile away.

Not sure what is worse. The fact they are burning yet another remain of the Attitude Era (ya know, that period when people mutilated each other all the time and which apparently, is still the best period evah in the WWE Lore) because they can't possibly make anyone (and have people actually flying off their company while they can, see Toni Storm or pretty soon, Mustafa Ali). Or that bump Charlotte took.

Unless it’s Big E who they just have lose clean every time.

No disrespect to Lita. But my goodness there's so much female talent in wrestling right now and they can't promote any of it?

[sek69]

Watching NXT, and while I really like that they are having some of the non-native English speakers to cut promos in their native languages I can't help that's just repeating the mistakes of Original Flavor NXT since that won't help anyone on the main roster either. 

Also Kay Lee Ray needs to be on the main roster ASAP. She's too good to be spending her time babysitting here. 

[sek69]

My lord, Indi in that post match brawl looked like she legit forgot how to fight. Good thing she's really good at getting WWE comedy over since that's the far better skill to have in her position.

 

OK I'll admit it, this Sarray as Anime Hero gimmick could be really funny/good but unfortunately being done by the one goddamn company you can count on to fuck it up. 

[sek69]

I'm starting to really dig Baby Uso, even if they are doing the "we'll never mention who his family is, but we'll also keep coyly referring to it" deal with him too. 

[sek69]

My man GUNTER out here giving Roddy the best match he'll ever be involved in. 

[sek69]

I get why they didn't, but it would have been cool to have Ivy out there throwing down with the dudes. It's not like it wouldn't look believable.

Tegan Nox, Nia Jax, Ember Moon, Mia Yim, Franky Monet, Scarlett Bordeaux, Mercedes Martinez, Lana, Ruby Riott, The IIconics, Mickie James & Chelsea Green are the women I remember WWE releasing off the top of my head & I'm sure I'm forgetting several as they fired like 300 people in 2021. They also let Tay Conti slip through the cracks. But it's a good thing they can just bring back Lita & Trish Stratus for eternity & continue to push the narrative that they were some how super workers & legends of the sport. Almost as bad (and sad) as each time they try to bring back Goldberg when he wasn't even a WWE star.

The name brings a smile to my face because it reminds me of the best copypasta ever

[TheDuke]

I really liked the Creed brothers match. I'm  happy they are continuing in the tournament,  although the end of the show seemed like it too obviously hinted at them being the winners, which means they probably aren't going to win. I was hoping to see more of the big Creed brawling with Walter during the last couple minutes, so I hope that's a match we see coming out of this.

I love how Trish became the Poochie of WWE women's legends, and any other woman from the past must namedrop her at least once a promo. 

[sek69]

Man, you know WWE has fucked up when even Ryan Satin had to backpedal his bootlicking defense of the GUNTHER situation. 

[Strummer]

Fightful reporting Sami Zayn has re-signed with WWE on a multi year deal.

[sek69]

Funny how suddenly we have Seth name dropping Mox on Smackdown, maybe Vince hopes he can pop a rating for him too.
