That Bull training video was so great that I can't even tell you guys how much I loved it. I honestly wish the main shows had even a fraction of the characterization that Nxt manages every week.

Toy companies make the gender bullshit of wrestling look like small pennies. The Avengers made a billion loving dollars and the toy companies insisted that the money was from BOYS ONLY

It probably was, because they made literally one toy of the sole female avenger.

The kids at Full Sail are viewed as a major letdown. There's a lot of discussion about it online.

Honestly they're only where they are in the crowd because of nepotism and they really haven't improved that much this last year.

But if you kept posting about how terrible Biff Busick was and how much he didn't deserve his spot, and how people overrated him and how much he hasn't improved over the last year over and over again and then started talking about his looks some people might feel you just have a weird grudge against the guy. Also, who the gently caress is Biff Busick?

Imagine if they'd given Sasha that SUV/Manservant entrance for her debut instead of listlessly adding her to a terrible team.

Imagine if any divas had a unique or interesting entrance. It would go a long way to getting the crowd to care about them. Last one I remember was Melina with the paparazzi.

Can't happen as nobody is allowed to get over on Stephanie ever. If she's got a mic and you're talking she will sass every other line you say.

Like when A.J was getting massively over and Steph comes out and tore her and the entire women's division down. Leading to nothing at all.

Shout out to whoever puts together the Bayley/Sasha video packages. I've only really been paying attention since Brooklyn and I feel completely caught up. All it takes is Bayley's music hitting to give me the feels now.

I love that they included footage of them training for the match which you never see on the main roster Diva feuds.

It's not brand-policing to say "Hey, don't end blood feuds with people crying and hugging." It's like watching someone you gently caress immediately smoke a cig and j/o to how good they are.

Sasha Banks' entire character is based around the fact that she is the best female wrestler in the company. The woman has spent better part of a year as the reigning champ and has defeated each and every opponent she's faced clean as a sheet only to lose the title to a woman that's she's looked down on for years. A woman who she believes isn't in her league. Not only that, when she gets her rematch she realizes she can't beat Bayley and resorts to every under handed trick in the book and after all that she still loses. When she makes her exit she sees the entire roster standing there clapping and at that moment she realizes that she's not the best, she's not the boss Bayley is. And after all this she collapses to the floor and all the rage and bitterness flow out of her in a stream of tears. Seems like a cool way to end a feud to me.

I really hope Bayley gets her smile back soon, because mopey champ Bayley isn't doing poo poo for me. Also someone needs to get fired for letting Nia come out in that terrible gear.

Dana deliriously giggling because she thought she'd won the match, and Emma just quietly saying,"Yeah.... you did great....." may have been the highlight of a very good show for me.

I can't remember the last time WWE did something (non New Day Related) that made me laugh this hard.

Color schemes are an easy way of quick branding, and I guess they think women have a higher propensity to dye it or wear extensions.

It's a silly pet peeve, but I hate how the majority of women on the roster wear ridiculous extensions that puts their hair down to their knees. I'm guessing Vince hates short hair on ladies.

Serena and Molly both rocked the bald look, IMO.


It's not silly, I totally get this. It covers their faces really often so you can't see their facial expressions during a match, or they constantly have to move it out of their faces, both of which detract from matches.

Or you get those moments where one of the girls tracks come out during a match and you've just got this huge strand of fake hair in the ring.

They will now that it has been spoken to existence. Now that they film other places I'm growing less tolerant of the Full Sail crowd. It's like hundreds and hundreds of members of TNA's Crucial Crew. I bet they organize in other places and just chant things at each other without a show interrupting them because they clearly prefer it to watching wrestling.

I Was really feeling that Bayley chant when it started, but then it kept going and going and going.

Also, I couldn't finish that Eva promo it was just too loving awkward.
