Unironically hope whatever has Foochs depressed gets better because it must be serious if it's broken his spirit and isn't wrestling related

Thanks for the concern, it is not better in the sense of actually being better but I am numbing to it so I am less meltdown-y.

I am not being ironic by the way, you guys' concern really means a lot to me and makes me smile so thank you all very much. :)

By the way John Cena, US Champion, should not be tapping out the WORLD loving CHAMPION CLEAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING under any circumstances ever unless they want to Jay Lethal/Ultimate Warrior him which would be fine if he was actually a young guy or an up and comer but he's John loving Cena. That's why I personally lost my poo poo, not because I like Rollins more.

Also I had a thought wave that was depressing. Well sort of depressing. Knowing what they did now, I wish they'd had Reigns pin Brock THEN do the cash-in. You literally wouldn't have to do anything different to how you've booked since then, and you'd have the following:

-Reigns gets the rub from beating The One In Twenty-One And One, and not just Taker getting the win back.
-The crowd would boo Reigns winning but still mark out for Seth's cash-in to avoid too much making GBS threads on Reigns' moment.
-Seth would've actually pinned the champion instead of just being a loving goober. At least in terms of his win, anyway.
-For all we know, the crowd might've actually been hot for Reigns chasing to get his title back; they really were starting to turn towards him at Mania.

Literally the only reasons to do it how they did it were to protect Brock (a part-timer costing them tons of money) and to do something admittedly new and different with the MITB case. The only logic I can think of is that they really were that scared to put the title on Reigns even for five minutes, which is so WWE I can't even put it into words.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
You guys can be mad at the rest of the show if you want, but I'm going to choose to be happy that the women got two matches, a backstage promo where the story was "these women all think they are the best at wrestling and want to wrestle each other to see who is the best", and a video package about who Sasha Banks is and why maybe she is the best at wrestling, watch her match to find out. That is good stuff.

It's just wrestling you big silly. Nothing worth investing this much of yourself in. You're a genuinely lovely bloke so stop being a daftie and letting bad soap opera ruin your days. There's loads of great wrestling out there that isn't ran by an old weirdo and his faux tough man son.

Is there any way Seth gets heat for the knee? I don't really see it, but you never know.

Also the only good think about the Cena/Seth match (aside from the fact that it was objectively a quality match with two greats, booking aside) is that it was one on one and Cena didn't win INCLUDING five on one odds or what the gently caress ever.

There's a lot more going on in my life than wrestling and sometimes dissecting wrestling helps me feel better on some level because it's easier to make SOME kind of sense of that than some of the other stuff. :)

I do worry a little that New Day owning so much is going to lead to WWE deciding to turn them face and reverting them back to the boring vaguely gospel losers that they were before.

They'll just have them stop doing stuff that the fans like. Sort of like what happened to Barrett.

That was cool but in retrospect maybe it'd be better if he had won. The WWE WHC is a joke now. Rollins has no credibility. At least with Reigns it'd be WWE putting something different at the top of the card. And the title would matter. Plus I'd like to see Reigns-Lesnar again. That was a great match.

Seth Rollins is super good at going out and having an incredible back and forth match with the top people in the company and showing he really has it and just takes shortcuts because it's easier. Then he loses because he's poo poo.

I was watching the Cena v Rollins match and I'm guessing the reason Cena's nose broke was because he miss timed his head movements during the knee strike.

It sucks Rollins didn't win he is an awesome talent I'm worried WWE will spoil him. That suplex off the top rope into a second suplex was awesome, I really do think they should start to let Rollins beat more top guys clean.

I know he's a heel but just have him fight dirty ie low blows all the running away really makes him look like he isnt a threat.

If you're a heel who actually beats guys via cheating, you can look like a threat just fine. The threat is that you're a dirty mother fucker and you will win by any means necessary.

What makes you not look like a threat is losing matches.
