WWE TV Megathread

I legit hope the angle ends up being Pat has been trying to convince Orton to bring back the punt. Because Pat was a kicker. And then everyone groans.

So I thought Raw was pretty good in-ring wise, but lol at CM Punk having to do another Pipe Bomb calling out Ari Emmanuel to lower the Mania ticket prices due to the absolute clusterfuck they created. On top of *gestures at everything*, TKO thinking they can treat WWE like UFC because they both (sorta) are combat sports is one of the greatest audience misreads I've ever seen. WWE has long strives to be a family friendly enterprise (again, sorta), so their big brain idea was to make tickets unaffordable to families just because it works for the chuds who go to UFC shows. 

Also I thought Gunther was moved to a program with Seth because Rey was hurt when they were building a feud when he was murdering Dragon Lee. Now Rey just comes out and adds himself to the IC title ladder match because reasons? I mean it's probably going to be awesome in the ring on both counts but it had me "wtf?"-ing at the TV.

Wow. When you think CM Punk can't sink any lower. The most embarrassing part of it, if you put aside the level of Russo-ism of the booking, is that the audience is still buying this shit. Of the entire brain-dead crowd, the CM Punk fans must be the most cultish of all to still support that clown.

Also, this : 

 

So, this is where WWE is ? Actually *putting over* the old rapist and TV ? Wow. This is insane. 

And really now, even if you put aside WWE being tied at the hip with American fascism, the MAGA pseudo celebrity galore (Logan Paul, McAfee, JerryRoll, not to mention IshowSpeed which at one time had been banned from Twitch for sexual intimidation), this Mania season absolutely comes off like absolute dogshit from the looks of it on the pure pro-wrestling only (see what I did here ?) standpoint. I mean, people still paying (a fuck lot) for this shit deserves all they get, really...

So Liv showed off the egg she's sporting from her and Roxanne clonking heads on Raw.
