Lana is still around?  When is she joining her hubby on AEW?

She's just collecting those ad moneys, but nothing really related to wrestling AFAIK.

 

Usos vs Street Profits was dope. 1D being the death move is great.

Apparently Rhea got the rona and that's why Liv was out there solo tonight.

No. Lana was referenced as a "glorified TikTok star" Lashley was "floundering" with before MVP rescued him and saved his career.

Not gonna be able to watch NXT until after work, but dang it sucks to be Wes Lee and get un-personed because your tag team partner is a dipshit who takes pics dressed like Hitler.

On the other hand, was he actually oblivious to whom he was hitching his wagon?

Why? She had the best matches of her career in NXT, and the green young girls there can certainly benefit from her experience and wisdom.

You'd think they'd at least let him be in the match with a new partner.

But who knows, maybe they have singles plans for him. (Yeah right!)

Maybe you can say he should have been paying more attention, but I don't think he should get erased from history over it. I suppose that's the risk you take having your career so closely tied in with someone else, if that person fucks up you end up going down with the ship. 

[WingedEagle]

I wouldn't suggest he should be erased from history either.  But I'm not losing sleep over him losing a tag team opportunity when it was tied to someone like that.

Eventually being released from WWE (seems all but inevitable at this point) and reuniting with his partner in Impact and/or CYN is hardly being "erased from history" though.

Maybe not erased, but either place would be a "if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound" scenario.

I was done with Nattie as an on-screen performer since 2016, bubba. Yeah, people like Cora Jade can benefit somehow, but I don't wanna see her beating folks over there.

[sek69]

Nattie gotta make sure the next generation knows she's the den mother of the main roster so she has another decade of employment.

They have to get our man Bron away from this Joe Gacy shit ASAP

[sek69]

Holy shit Nikkita Lyons.

[sek69]

 

Wendy Choo is the greatest

[sek69]

lol Jesus Christ they must pass out edibles at the CWC, these fans reacting like the Rock showed up for fucking Nattie of all people.

Having said that, she managed to use that do do a Mark Henry level swerve. All she needed was to be wearing a salmon blazer. 

Also not sold on Cora Jade as the next big thing. She's way too green to be a featured TV character and nothing about her presentation seems genuine at all.

[sek69]

Just getting to the start of the tag gauntlet and I'm already hyped for a Pretty Deadly/Creeds feud. Give me pretty men fighting the big uglies.

I think the angle is bad, but I'm excited for that match. Gacy was a low-key MVP of 205 Live before it got rebranded, he had a match with Desmond Troy that ruled. 

[sek69]

Yeah I don't mind Gacy as a wrestler but his gimmick is just pure uncut go away heat with me. 

[KawadaSmile]

Corbin got MADCAP MOSS over as a face. Dude is amazing.

[Blehschmidt]

Gulak would be wonderful in the Blackpool Combat Club, but instead we have him doing this. I think that's enough WWE for the week.

[sek69]

Love how Madcap's promo about having to come up with jokes that only one person finds funny making him an insert for everyone who's ever been on the writing team.

While you are absolutely right, Gulak somehow making the transition from straight-shooting Cruiser to No Fly Zone heel to 24/7 comedic relief to serious tag/rival do Bryan, back to 24/7 looney tune to finally backstage interviewer is somehow more impressive. Dude is really damn versatile and surely they have seen value in him.

[Johnny Sorrow]

Gulak is just fine. Whatever this gimmick is he's going to make it work. He's apparently very well liked backstage and doesn't he work with the celebrities to train them for matches? More people saw him on TV tonight than probably any other time he's been on outside of the little deal he had going with Danielson.
