Orton was Super Happy To Be Here Babyface for about a month after he came back last year and then Brock elbowed all that fun right the gently caress outta him.

Orton telling Renee "Happy Rusev day" amused me greatly, but Rusev is good so maybe it's just Rusev.

Randy Orton is a kinda boring wrestler that I really love because of his out of ring personality. The idea of a counter finisher that can come out of nowhere is pretty cool too.

Seth Rollins somehow managing to hit a Pedigree out of nowhere on Roman was cool as hell.

And also for some reason not the finish of that match.

I'm watching the AJ Styles Network playlist and it's making me think three things:

1. Goddamn I love AJ.
2. Goddamn the Network is a steal.
3. I wish it was easier to curate custom playlists.

How stupid are people on Twitter? Everyone's going LOL ANOTHER DEAD CROWD AND ANOTHER EMPTY ARENA when the majority of people probably had left already. I'm guessing the fact that the Raw theme was playing meant that the Raw roster showed up and beat their asses?

But yeah I'm guessing they did the beatdown, they thanked everyone for coming, then played the Raw theme then what we see there happened. I mean not that WWE doesn't have attendance issues but I'm willing to bet the international tours still do gangbusters because people are so excited to get big promotion live wrestling. Maybe I'm wrong and the continued growth of stuff like PROGRESS and ICW has reduced some of the fervor though?

There are about 330,000,000 folks using twitter actively and at least several thousand are pretty smart without being stupid at all. maybe even a million. If my inclination was to laugh at WWE for that tweet i would have to go with the lack of audience as well even if it isn't an ideal strategy. It's better Than nothing, such as saying, "That WWE video sucks!" Boring comment without anything to back it up at all.

Edit: Don't get me wrong. I understand just about everything going on and the feelings being expressed here. We actually share many Of the same goals, and WWE as well as wrestling in general are my passion.

I think it's just that a thing on Twitter/other places online is trying to dunk on WWE at every possible opportunity and while I admire the gumption it's like, pick your shots or it comes off like trying too hard. The Young Bucks Special.

Fun Shoe

I watched that and thought it was very professional and super nice that New Day closed out the show and gave something extra to the fans left after the cameras stopped rolling. I’ve been to shows where the baby face jumped right back up and posed like there was no beat down a minute or two ago. New Day rocks. This was not sarcasm and I think it was cool and good.

I mean that's obviously the end of the show as you can tell from all the people filing out, but, WWE deserves to be dunked on for the empty seats at every opportunity, they earned them with over half a year of booking most of their titles and stars straight into the ground.

It's not controversial at all. I'm in the minority thinking that they're moderately insufferable tryhards who are admittedly very good at what they do.

And just so we're entirely clear this is less me being more STAND UP FOR WWE even though I'm positive people will think that which, cool, and more me being annoyed at how much of the modern internet in everything is people essentially going "Love me! Am I cool yet?" while acting like they're totally not desperate for approval at all. That kind of thinking helped to get us the rise of "ironic" White Nationalist America. I realize this is a reach and there's a heaping helping of irony acknowledged with regards to discussing WWE. I guess I just have a hair trigger and I'm tired of seeing what I perceive as Internet Coolness rather than actual coolness.

Anyway, Survivor Series should be very good! I think New Day is a good foil for getting actually fun Roman like when he was tagging with Dean and seemed to genuinely just be enjoying himself. :)
