We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
I kind of want to attend a WWE event for the first time, and I think next week's Raw will probably be my best opportunity for a while even if it's a bit of a drive.

Here are the tickets. I've heard before that you don't want floor seats unless you're like in the very front row. Should I be going for the red "lower' seats then? Veteran smark goons, what advice do you have on this?

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

It's really just a matter of "Do you want to be on the ground trying to look over people's heads all night" or "Do you want to be above everything squinting at the ring all night". Try for the middle ground

The only way the crowd will turn on the dorky goth lady is through terrible booking. Sister Abigail seems like a good start.

Yeah, and at that time they still did 'Bra and Panties' and 'First Blood' matches. Times have indeed changed in the last 15 years.

That's what Smackdown's main event has comprised of for what, three weeks in a row now?

And they did official apologies for it, and backed away from it. And yeah it's a step away from WWE's normal stuff.

They really don't seem to get how to do 'shock' stuff sometimes. Or how to escalate a plotline without going way too far (see also Roman Reigns, attempted murderer).

So if Paige ends up playing Sister Abigail, are they even going to acknowledge her past as Paige? It reminds me of when Albert came back as Lord Tensai and WWE did their damndest to not acknowledge his prior stint

Crazy Mary is Sarah Logan and was signed last October. She does a Kentucky country girl thing now.

Sage Beckett apparently tweeted some stuff that looked like hints it would be her, but she might just have been playing around.

I went to a house show a couple years ago and Face Jericho started off on one of his classic Stephanie rants, which he finished with BOTTOM-FEEDING TRASHBAG (wait, we're PG now, I can't say that anymore...)

It was great.

The Kalisto thing was a disappointment. It looked like it was going in a good direction.
This week's no contact thing was as untenable as last weeks. It wouldn't make sense to fire all of them, they had an open card bluff to call.
And before you dummies get all smug at me like "Oh, do you really think WWE would do a pro-labor storyline :grin:", sure, why the hell not, they do anti-racism angles all the drat time.

I'M APPARENTLY GAY AND MY POSTING SUCKS.
Having any of the existing Raw or Smackdown women be Sister Abigail would be dumb, and that includes Paige. Paige is too well known. That and I doubt WWE trusts Paige very much and are sending her to Smackdown. Sister Abigail has got to be someone from NXT or Mae Young classic.

this was a huge wasted opportunity particularly while Bray was in a feud with Randy Orton. The last appearance of Husky Harris IIRC was when Randy punted him in the skull. Everybody was hoping this was the new kayfabe reason for why Husky returned as Bray Wyatt---he got his brain scrambled and became a vessel for whatever Bray Wyatt is. It would have been a stupidly brilliant thing to use but they didn't do it, had Randy murder Bray, and that's that.

I'm not sure but I think Luke Gallows/Festus was the only instance wherein a past gimmick was acknowledged and was actually used in a clever way to build up a guy's new personality.

Jesus christ Sister Abigail possessed Bray and it's his inner demon that he is going to let loose. It's just going to be Bray in spooky makeup.

Man they had some momentum with building up Braun but holy poo poo has everything taken a nosedive after making him look weak losing to Brock. None of the storylines on Raw or Smackdown are remotely interesting, WWE is truly the biggest steaming pile of poo poo right now.

Also I think you guys are taking the Sister Abigail thing too literally. It's just gonna be Bray having his own demon form or whatever because this feud is an anime.

The only women who could pull off being Sister Abigail would be some random pick nobody has seen in WWE or NXT yet, like Daffney or MsChif. Maybe that zombie lesbian from TNA. If it's anybody recognisable from the last 10 years of WWE the gimmick would fall on its arse immediately, and Bray's booked as enough of a jackass as it is.

Braun should take the IC title off Miz and open challenge it until he can get back in the Universal picture post WM

My bet is he'll feud with Joe when he comes back
