Anyone watch that new WWE24? I'm a quarter of the way through and I'm about to turn this poo poo off because of how much they're changing history. According to the show, that whole #givedivasachance started randomly right after Brie and Nikki had a two minute match with Paige & Emma. It definitely didn't have anything to do with AJ Lee calling out Stephanie on pay. Idk why I'm so bothered about this.
I watched the whole thing because there's gently caress-all else to do on lunch break, and I think gently caress-all would have been the preferable option. Toward the end they really lean in heavily on saying all women always were great (the old "Fabulous Moolah was brilliant and totally not a horrific pile of excrement" thing), they paint the Bellas as some kind of generation-crossing core of womens wrestling, Steph gets her obligatory cheer squad, and they run down the WM32 womens tag match, trying to come up with positive things to say about Eva Marie and Tamina as if they aren't obviously shitshows. They kinda gloss over a lot of NXT, too; they spend less time talking about Sasha & Bayley than they did with Trish & Lita in the first half.

But Lana does drop her accent, which is kinda great while she's still billed as Lana and they're cutting directly to her speaking in the ring. And it is ammusing seeing AJ flashed on screen for approximately 1 frame.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, really. I was hoping for a more Breaking Ground-style documentary, with more day-to-day stuff, but it's just the same-old self-congratulatory revisionist history they always do.

WE ALL KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN
Summerslam is gonna be loving rad wrestling wise. 2-3 matches that could be MOTYCs (Balor/Rollins, Cena/Styles, Charlotte/Sasha), a few more that could easily be HMs (Brock/Orton, Ambrose/Ziggler, Reigns/Rusev), and some strong undercard matches. I'm looking forward to it way more than I was Wrestlemania.

The builds on Raw have been kinda lovely (haven't been able to follow SD as much), but good wrestling will make up for that.

Summerslam is cool because they've been doing something out of the ordinary for the last several years with the main event. Bryan winning the title in 13 from Cena, Brock squashing Cena for the title in 14, and Brock losing a match in 15! Summerslam is going to rule.

Summerslam 2013 was real cool. It also had that awesome Punk/Lesnar No DQ match. and the Bray Wyatt/KANE inferno match but we won't talk about that

You can, but clearly it's because you're a sperg, and should seek help.

Like, at this point, I guess I don't even now what the gently caress a smark is. I always assumed it was an internet fan. Which is what every single one of us here is. So I'm not really sure how it's an insult.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Yeah.His heel aesthetic in NJPW pre paint with the lightup jacket and Fale assisted entrance was much cooler.

it was fun for one day (January 4th 2014) and quickly became lame after that. It was bad in NJPW, bad on his farewell tour of the UK indies, and it's still bad in WWE.

It's like if Rey Mysterio wore a superhero inspired costume for every WWE PPV he was on instead of just being a WrestleMania thing.

I wonder how long they were sitting on that result for. ADR came back from his indie run clearly having been on the juice but I'd have expected him to maybe tone it down a bit once he got back into WWE

Alberto Del Rio's theme music is one of the best in the WWE

and as a Mexican I am obligated to cheer him endlessly which is one of the reasons he will continue to be employed as long as ADR likes money

There could be some language in contracts concerning the wellness policy or the policy itself which prohibits him from being released concurrent with a violation unless it's the third strike, basically intended as a protection of sorts.
