I've noticed when Finn doesn't have a match, he usually has a little powder on. For actual wrestling it seems they've decidedly the damp and greasy look is the way to go for all the guys. ed: commentary booth are all painted up.

I like how everyone in that match had matching Raw/Smackdown shirts to look like obedient worker bees, and then Cena just showed up in his regular merch because he clearly ran out of fucks to give. Cena owns.

The Extreme Rules promo video is crazy just in terms of how they've given all the wrestlers being interviewed like 10 feet of headspace and cut them off at the chin/neck. The framing is so awful it feels like it must be deliberate, but if it is I cannot understand WHY

Like I legit wondered if maybe Vince originally wanted a cartoon thought bubble to appear above their heads with that video footage of all the big bumps and thrills appearing in it. That would have been awful but at least given a reason for the awful framing. Instead their faces are like tucked right down at the bottom of the screen for absolutely no reason. It's so weird.

Vince’s mind is currently in the end stages of being completely gone. Like when Dave Bowman starts removing all of HAL 9000’s logic circuits. Soon, he will insist on thermal cameras for all promos, and the F in XFL will stand for Futbol. God help us all.

Cena owns. Cena had a new shirt, if memory serves. Came to put the shirt over, got eliminated in like 5 minutes, left. I had no idea and have no idea what the point of that Survivor Series match was. 2016's match advanced storylines (Dean/AJ, JeriKO/Roman, the rise of Braun), had GIFable moments (Braun/Ellsworth, Shane dying), and had a surprising survivor (the Orton Wyatts). 2017 ended with Shane vs. HHH. In 2017. Uh?

Jeff Gerstmann was talking about it on a recent Bombcast and it piqued my interest. Whenever an old wrestling guy who wasn't a wrestler has a podcast I just assume it is nothing but terrible takes on modern wrestling and pining for the good old days.

It's not bad - He shares quite a few trivia facts while he's telling stories about his interactions with Vince and how the backstage poo poo actually works so it's worth listening to for that if you enjoy the inner workings of the giant nonsense machine His episode on Mr. Perfect has quite a few good stories on filming the vignettes for the character and stuff like that for example

Justin_Brett posted:And then made her into a heel stooge for the same person who called her old in that feud, for no real reason. Like, it started out as Alexa being like "Hey let's team up to deal with Absolution in the Elimination Chamber." and Mickie was clearly dubious about it because she'd done this poo poo with Alexa before and Alexa had just screwed her at the end, but she was realistic about the fact that Absolution and Bayley/Sasha would both be helping themselves.. Then Elimination Chamber came and went and she just kept being Alexa's stooge. Sanguinia posted:I remember someone telling me that Triple H looked like a goof a bunch of times in that match to put over all the new talent both on his own and the other team, but I never went back and watched it to actually confirm that. HHH pretty much gets outwrestled by Nakamura and Roode and there's some cute moments of him having fun with them, then he gets clowned on at the end by Strowman. All of his Shovel Man Fucker stuff was pretty much contained to the other old men in the match.

To their credit, they didn't totally ignore the Alexa/Mickie feud like they usually do. I mean Mickie let her off way too easily and all, but they acknowledged it happened. Alexa saved Mickie from a beatdown pre-EC (sort of, I don't know if it was scripted that way but how she pulls her out of the ring and drops her to the floor is pretty funny), which was what made Mickie decide to give her a chance. Then at the EC Mickie was eliminated before Alexa even entered so there was no backstab. I assume they didn't want to do that at the same time as Sasha/Bayley. Since then there hasn't really been any need to split them up again so they haven't.

Women's Elimination Chamber was the best-booked thing they've done in that division all year IMO Though I guess "Asuka wins the Rumble because duh" is up there.
