I said this before semi-ironically, but it had all the elements of a Game of Thrones betrayal. You know in retrospect that of course that's loving going to happen, because the seeds were planted for months, but you still really want a "good ending" out of it despite the odds.

The camera work at the big reveal was bloody top notch too, which is something I don't say about live WWE shots very often.

Followup on that Animal thing posted yesterday

Road Warrior Animal posted:

After reading what my post last night on the Grammys I see that I misspoken and I am embarrassed. What I wrote is not what I was trying to get across.

I should always do spellcheck on the manner in which I send my messages and I don�t for that, I am sorry , I was stupid. What I wrote by no means reflects how I actually feel, I am not a racist or a bigot or think things happen in certain parts of the country and they don�t happen anywhere else.

I am a realist I should�ve should�ve chosen my words more wisely for that I apologize. I feel horrible for hurting anyones feelings.

I have nothing against people of color, I have nothing against people of Muslim faith, I have nothing against people of Mexico, I have nothing against anybody. I was just making a statement about a song that I did not like that�s all.

I should�ve double checked my post. I should�ve checked my grammar and should have made certain aim what I was trying to say would come across that way. I made a simple mistake and regret it. I wrote it like a run on sentence.

I know it looks like I�m saying these people of certain backgrounds do certain things and I by no means feel that way, so if I offended anyone I apologize.

I should know better, you know we all at one time or another get thought in our heads that we want to put in print that when we think it sounds like what we want to say is coming out and after we read it we go omg, that�s what I did this morning.

It was a mistake I love and respect everyone I could care less if a persons origin or his or her beliefs as long as we all respect each other that�s all that matters.

Once again I apologize.

Jericho should come out to help KO win. Everyone will be thinking it's because he still loves him. But really, it's because he wants to win the belt against KO at mania. Jericho wins at Mania and gets a short title run as a reward for all the good he has done.

My shorthand was a time traveller from 2006/7.

I know a few months ago there were all these plans. She was going to be a "Diva" and never want to wrestle. More worried about her Instagram. A mutual friend of ours suggested she needed to come out with the butterfly belt one week. That got some traction. I think she was going to interrupt serious matches. Claim Wrestling was boring and promote her Instagram on the TitanTron. Kinda trick internet fans they were giving up on the Women's Revolution and draw heat that way.

I mean the entire premise of her promos were close ups of her tits and rear end. I do think there was a road that could have been a fun and clever parody of that attitude. But it'd take clear and consistent writing to not gently caress it up, and assuming Rovert's right about the genesis of the idea being long gone it's for the best to just move on.

I liked the concept. But it would be all in the execution. The commentary/writers obviously are lacking. Emma is very spacey line delivery wise and in general. She really just sounded bored in her voiceovers. Like, someone told her to "talk sexily" and she has no idea what that means.

The gimmick is better suited for Summer Rae IMO. She can model, talk and act.

The "let Emma wrestle" people should realise she is/was coming off a serious back injury. The few matches she has wrestled on Live Events got "she was very rusty" or simply bad reviews. Giving Emma a limited Wrestling role might have been a very sensible idea we will see.
