Because ya know, flight attendants and tanning bed salons employees notwithstanding, gotta get that pop from this always wonderful audience. HHH is (and apparently always will be) a massive Flair fan, so it's not surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thread Killer Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 For the record, Silicon Valley is the best sitcom ever. With WKRP in Cincinnati a distant second. Then maybe Barney Miller. Special mention to What We Do In The Shadows and Seinfeld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobogo Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Obviously there was zero chance Flair would be banned forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Let's say the timing of him showing his wrinkled dick face just a few weeks after Vince gets back in power despite you know what, all of it makes it one hell of a story to tell in term of how much "the culture has changed". That's the same company that could not keep Mandy Rose for "moral issues" that was deeply detrimental to its image, ya know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embrodak Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 6 hours ago, KawadaSmile said: The moment he made his WM debut, it was kinda clear to me that he would at least get that title shot. When he had that HiaC match with a torn pec and a babyface performance for the ages, it was just a matter of time before he took it from Reigns. Well that’s why I said “a year ago”. It was not at all clear to me that if Cody signed with WWE, they were gonna treat him as some massive star. There’s absolutely a world where he returns and is in the Dolph Ziggler “useful hand” position inside of a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 So little of note happened on Raw that discussion in the weekly thread once again shifted to soccer. That's as sure a sign as any that Hunter is still in charge of creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I was waiting for you to get upset about the soccer talk Also it's funny how it doesn't get mentioned that while Hunter stated Chyna can't be in the HOF because his kids might Google her and find out she did adult videos, one of the guys she did one with (X Pac) gets to appear on WWE TV all the time with no fear of his kids doing any web searches.

sek69 Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Apollo/Axiom vs Melo/Trick was unsurprisingly good. I saw that Melo was one of the guys Cody handpicked to train with to get back into ring shape, so clearly game recognize game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffey Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 15 hours ago, NintendoLogic said: Yeah, let's be honest. Now that winning the Rumble doesn't necessarily mean anything special in terms of card placement at Mania, the only reason to watch is for surprise returns. That is, unless you really enjoy watching people hang from the apron while holding onto the ring ropes for an hour. Honestly, the Rumble has been a chore for awhile. The Brock Lesnar Rumble was brutal. Not to mention there has to be a men & women's Rumble now & every fucking Rumble has to have some bullshit overly contrived dumb ass Kofi Kingston style "they're not really eliminated because their second foot didn't touch!" spot that just kills the match for me. If you get launched over the top rope and bounce on your ass, you should be fucking eliminated. I don't give a fuck if you kept one leg in the air. It's dumb.

I'm just hearing of this. Fucking awful. I loved The Briscoes & thought they were the current best tag team in the world. Really unexpected & sad. I wish they would have gotten a run in WWE or AEW.

I have felt that Gigi has always been the star. To me, she's the one with the unique look. Mandy gave 'em the main roster name but Gigi was the star. Jacey just comes off as background fodder to me.
