Dave noted they shot Trips and Owens to make Owens look short and had Cesaro and Trips sitting down despite Cesaro bring a few inches taller than Trips. Ha ha ha ha

They happen any time she's out but not in the ring. They're doing that stupid "we know she's good but gently caress you" thing that they're doing with Cesaro.

It would be one thing if Charlotte had a character on the main roster beyond "I'm Charlotte Flair and I'm better than you" or we had established Reid beforehand. It would still be overwhelmingly crass but it wouldn't be completely lost on 90% of the audience like it was.

Shave Seltzer posted:There is more heat on Lana right now. She wrote something on Twitter about Paige saying, "I actually wanted to write a longer paragraph about you. We both know you bullied me in NXT." Paige wrote back, "Don't talk crap and then delete it." Paige responded that she was only in NXT for two months and how if it was true you wouldn't have deleted it, and then wrote "Stop trying to get a storyline." One WWE source said they weren't happy with Lana, which they haven't been since she went public with her engagement, screwing up their storyline with Rusev and Summer Rae. The web site was told to turn the story into an angle feeling that was the way to cover it up and just make people think it's storyline. So that's that. The website was told to work the marks into working themselves into a shoot over a shoot so they could cover it up as a work.

I was trying to go to sleep a few minutes ago and for some reason the enormity of these events finally hit me and I couldn't stop crying. I have no real life friends who give a poo poo about professional wrestling, so this is basically the only place I have to express these feelings, but I really feel the need to express them. I would like this thread to be about our personal feelings about the death of Maggle, and how it has personally affected us. Just TV-IVing about the details as they come in, or wondering about the WWE's future, and all of that bullshit has no place here. I need to write about my feelings about Maggle. Obviously these posts will be mocked elsewhere on the forums, but gently caress em. If you feel the need to say anything, say it. ----- Maggle is a murderer. He killed JBL and King. We will probably never know exactly what he was thinking. Obviously I did not know Maggle. I never saw him in person and never spoke to him. But he represented something very special to me. In such a cut-throat, dirty, dark, often disgusting, business he was one of the good ones. When people talked poo poo about wrestling and the bastards involved in it, you could always muffin out Maggle as the exception to the rule. He was the one you could muffin to as a true professional who honored the sport he loved, who was passionate about it, who proved that you could dedicate your life to professional wrestling announcing without being insane or scum or a monster. He was the ace in the hole. He was the one who wasn't in it for the pussy or because he was a failed jock in another sport or because he wanted to get rich quick or because he wanted to be a movie star or because he saw wrestling as a means to an end. He was in it for professional wrestling announcing. He was dedicated to being the best professional wrestling announcer he could be, and it showed in the booth. I wanted to be an announcer since I was a little kid, and one of the very worst moments of my life was a cold night in San Antonio when I was on the phone to my girlfriend a thousand miles away and finally admitted to myself and to her that coming to Texas to be an announcer had been a mistake. Coming to grips that I was simply not athletically or charismatically talented enough to be a professional wrestling announcer was one of the worst moments of my life. The business glorifies the boyhood dreams that come true. My boyhood dream wasn't going to come true, and it was an upsetting, soul-crushing revelation that upsets and discourages me to this day. Since then I lived vicariously through Maggle in a lot of ways. He wasn't a man who was destined to be a WWE lead announcer. He couldn't talk. He wasn't charismatic in the usual way. He was quiet. He was short. The only thing he had going for him was his work ethic. He wasn't a third generation announcer. He wasn't physically gifted. He wasn't someone who had words come easy to him. But through sheer effort he was able to become one of the greatest professional wrestling announcers in history. By 40 years-old. Maggle was only forty, and he was already a legend on the verge of myth. That's how talented he was, and how respected. I cannot reconcile in my mind that the man who unnecessarily gave back so much to the sport could end his life the way he did. I can't understand how a man could spend weeks and months trying to give back to younger guys like Byron Saxton, putting forth the care and effort to help them find their voice in the booth, and that that same man could strangle his color guy and heel only weeks later. It doesn't make sense. It shouldn't have happened this way. Not for him, not for King, and not for their JBL. Maggle owed me nothing. But I still feel the loss. I selfishly lived through many of his accomplishments and now feel lost. I can only speak for myself, but I feel that for a lot of us Mondays and Thursdays are rocks of stability in a storm of stress and uncertainty. Every week the show goes on. Every week the show is from somewhere new, somewhere in the world, but every week it comes into our homes. And that will continue. But Maggle is dead. And he died a murderer. And whether it be insanity, drugs, or just the actions of a clear-eyed monster, what is done is done. And one of the pillars for the guys backstage and one of the pillars for fans is gone. And everything that pillar held up is tainted and dripping with blood. Maggle was a murderer. And I don't know how to accept that, Maggle.

GrimGypsy posted:Also, why did uninjured Uso not get a little bit of singles action during that longggg break? The team was very over and he's pretty good in the ring. Give him a promo or two and some singles matches, maybe it turns out he's a real firecracker and you have a new star. If not, then quietly make him go away like they did anyway. Why waste the opportunity? Dave explained it a while ago. If you feature the not dead Uso, and the second Uso comes back, you potentially run into the situation where you have two brothers who both look and act the same except in the eyes of the fans one of them is That One Uso and the other is Marty Jannetty.

I don't mean Marty Jannetty like he sucks, I meant a situation where you started with two guys, one left, the other rose up the card, he comes back, and now you have a team of brothers where one's Marty Jannetty and the other hangs around the main event. What do you do?

I don't remember the exact conversation but I do remember it gave us one of the best Dave lines: "No, you definitely don't want to be Marty Jannetty."

SamuraiFoochs posted:Yeah I see basically no way it'd be pulled off unless it happened before the event as people were filing in or something. I think that was the plan in Paris but they got there late and couldn't blow up the people lining up. They didn't have tickets so they couldn't get in, either.

Because explosives are complicated, and terrorists are dumb as gently caress and they suck. Ryback confirmed in ISIS

I don't think it's ever worked in any promotion. The only thing I can think of would be like, I don't know, the Crockett Cup? But it was a memorial for a guy who died a decade prior.

Triple H on ISIS:quote:Federal, state and local law enforcement authorities have confirmed there is no specific or credible information involving a threat against tomorrow’s WWE Survivor Series at Philips Arena. However, WWE and Philips Arena have coordinated with the appropriate agencies and law enforcement, and significantly increased security measures to ensure the safety of all those in attendance, which is our highest priority. Doors will open at 6 p.m. to help fans avoid any delays in entering the arena due to the additional precautionary security procedures put in place. Fans are encouraged to take public transportation (MARTA) to the event and are advised that bags will not be permitted in the arena. #SurvivorSeries
