Well alcohol is an odd one because there's different types of alcoholics. There's alcoholics that are mental addicted to it (like myself) and drink in excess to cope with certain things or fill a void. Then there's alcoholics that are physically addicted who literally cannot stop drinking because it will kill them if they do without medical supervision. If I had to guess, Jeff's more toward the former than the latter.

A 4-way would be so dumb because it's clear the booking is to turn Nia babyface and her only beef is with Alexa. It's just a repeat of Batista/HHH's WM21 feud.

Sasha and Bayley have a rich history and put on great matches together and their angle makes more sense without the title because it's a friendship that turned into a grudge.

.....so of course it'll be a 4-way.

I don't know if it came across the crowd last night but the Uso/New Day match got some weird reactions. The crowd was mostly confused by all the move stealing though we got really excited. The Bludgeon Brothers initially got booed until they started wrecking poo poo and then got a large number of cheers and "One More Time" chants.

Other stray observations:
John Cena is still insanely popular with the kids and he got by far the largest reaction of the night. Second would be Asuka followed by either AJ or Shinsuke. Little to no reactions for Carmella, Benjamin and Gable, Baron Corbin, and Ruby Riottttttttt.
Kids really love AJ's gloves as that seemed to be the biggest seller followed by Cena armbands and foam U Can't C Me hands.
There was one poor kid behind us that was really into Carmella and lost his poo poo when she pinned Becky. He later was really dejected when Asuka came out instead of Carmella cashing in.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Totally forgot but yeah but not as bad as poor Benjamin and Gable who got like nothing. She did get cheered for her hot tag which is something I guess but not when you're getting less reactions than Natalya. Last show I was at half the kids had Becky steam goggles and now there were maybe half a dozen at best.

Geez Corey Graves is right, everybody does turn on Becky. Then again her being betrayed by her own masked persona shoulda hinted at that. We might need crow becky soon, maybe by summerslam.

yeah i kind of had this exact same reaction. i was like, "huh, a lot of move stealing is weird, but whatever" i've never seen an uso do trouble in paradise and it looked sick, and, yeah, sure, do it differently. then i rolled my eyes at the bludgeon brothers but man when they got rolling it was, uh, pretty good.

So I think assuming we have only Nia vs Alexa and Asuka vs Charlotte on the card, both matches are going to be bad, but for different reasons.

Nia vs Alexa will just be a dumpster fire since neither of them are good workers. And it probably won't be a squash match either. Asuka vs Charlotte will be good until the moment Carmella cashes in and adds herself into the match or post match. Then the quality will drop drastically.

I'm surprised that someone who is only featured as a passing accessory to other people and loses all the time would fall in popularity and interest.


You would think it would be in WWE's best interest to make sure every person possible is as popular as possible. They're just pissing money away with people like Becky, Bray, even people like Breezango. God forbid someone gets over; we might start profiting from it!

Carmella is very lovely in the ring compared to pretty much everyone else except Tamina and Lana. Putting MITB on her (or even keeping it on her this long) was a massive mistake. You have people who are now claiming the women's MITB will be a complete failure if her cash in doesn't succeed. Problem is at this point it would be at the expense of Asuka's streak, which WWE has invested 2+ years into. But handing the streak to Carmella seems like a REALLY bad idea since she has absolutely no credibility and is completely heatless. Not to mention her reign would be a complete dumpster fire, since she's incredibly limited in the ring.

Let me put it this way. Imagine Undertaker losing his streak at Wrestlemania to someone like Titus O'Neil. Keep in mind, Titus would be off of TV for half a year or so and almost never win matches either right before then.
