I'm sure that Becky is referring to how she was the first champion to break the IWGP stranglehold on the prestigious Something Awful champion of the month polls.

Becky is so unbelievably cool and how WWE aren't capitalizing on this (the right way) is batshit insane.
Double yepper. They refuse to strike while the iron is hot, and have been for a very, very long time. She'll only get a push when we stop caring about her and then we'll "Becky Lynch was always bad," because that's what we do when WWE ruins somebody.

Roman Reigns and John Cena, for instance, are absolutely lovable and charismatic, but the way WWE pushes them makes us hate them.

Is the girl statue on wall street problematic because of who commissioned the statue?

Well, yeah

On October 6, 2017, State Street, the company that funded Fearless Girl, paid $5 million to settle a lawsuit from its female and minority employees who alleged the company violated equal pay rights.[34]

Ok, didn't know about the history till now.

Regarding Evolution, I feel like WWE could have had RAW and SDL in New York and then stayed during the week to promote the PPV better instead of doing roundtable and such this weekend.

It's so impressive how much Becky has been able to sell her current motivations with such confidence. She's someone in her wrestling prime who knows how to make it work. She's the only part of the WWE right now that makes me think Hell Yeah.

Fearless Girl was commissioned by investment firm State Street Global Advisors(SSgA) to advertise for an index fund which comprises gender-diverse companies that have a relatively high percentage of women among their senior leadership. The plaque below the statue states: "Know the power of women in leadership. SHE makes a difference," with "SHE" being both a descriptive pronoun and the fund's NASDAQticker symbol.

Nice to see these two still get a chance to have some fun together post-TNA. I expect Spud had the memorable scene from Only Fools and Horses in his mind when doing this, I wonder if he'd have shown in to EC3...

All you need to know about Kenta Kobashi is he's a motivational speaker now. I think he also does some MLM type stuff as well. Some guy fell asleep in his lecture and he ran into the audience woke the guy up and told him to stay strong. Standing ovation.

E: LOL, Youtube suggested a Kobashi-Akiyama match with Mauro Ranallo commenting as a result. Mauro losing his poo poo in a GHC title match was something I never knew I wanted.
