Its really cool how Vince decided to walk away from day to day operations to run the xfl again and gave all of his power to BG James. That's like, several good decisions in one.

Much like how The Celtic Warrior Sheamus O'Shaunessy is the cousin to associate scientist Beaker, Buddy Murphy is the nephew of Detroit Police Officer and notable Little Stinger Alex Murphy.

Joey is at least entertaining. I saw a Murphy vs Blake match at a live NXT show that was legit one of the worst matches I've ever seen live. Far worse than any of the Joey Ryan matches I've seen live. The crowd was making GBS threads on Blake and Murphy, with multiple let's go jobbers and jobbers you suck chants

Sorry for the multipost, I just had to say something after seeing some SD:

Has anyone in WWE had less character progression over the course of their career than Dolph

It's kinda stunning to see. You can walk away from months of programming and he'll still be in the same spot on the card, doing the same angle. The faces he's fighting may change occasionally, but that's literally it

Until The New Day, Kofi was a contender. Also, there's me.

They had the titles already. Alexa joined them by interfering in an Enzo/Cass title match and attacking Carmella.

They lost them to the Vaudevillains then had a losing streak and Alexa dumped them, just before her call-up.

I'm almost positive this is because Road Dogg is such an awful booker. He's so loving bad, holy poo poo. It doesn't help his cause that he lashes out at people on twitter when people call him out for bad booking. I feel like anyone who gets sent to Smackdown now is being sentenced to WWE career death at this point.

I am honestly flummoxed by whatever the hell is going on with Dolph. He left as a heel, came back at the Rumble in the final spot and was immediately eliminated. Doesn't appear last week, then gets an opportunity to get into the title shot due to unrelated Shane shenanigans. Is still coming out to his record scratch/silent entrance theme, but they're playing the record scratch BEFORE his theme music, then just playing his theme music anyway. He cuts a heel promo backstage but is put into the main event as a face, and the commentators sell him as a face at the end of the show while the crowd cheers for him and he plays to them as a face.
