I'm late to it but "it's good they had a domestic abuser on tv because everyone hates him which gets heel heat" is some galaxy brain poo poo. Super quick, it's bad to profit off someone's crimes.

Dolph's brother has the Twitter handle @HotYoungBriley and that's a crime worse than murder imho

EDIT: Upon looking at that Twitter page it appears Dolph was at the premiere of a Netflix documentary about Motley Crue instead of being at Raw. lol

The Ronda stuff is actually pretty standard heel stuff. There’s no angles or McMahons involved anymore and Rousey just beats the poo poo out of refs and her opponents now. It’s what she should be doing since she’s supposed to be an unstoppable heel. I won’t go so far as to say it’s super good or anything because it’s really basic heeling.

I can see why people want Becky to come out there but I don’t think she should have. Let Ronda gently caress people up. Why would Becky give a poo poo about Dana anyways?

Realtalk I actually muted the replay because Dana's screaming was so believable it was really unsettling

Vince being allegedly shook about AEW is kind of funny given that the best defense WWE has against AEW moving in on their markets is that HHH spent like a decade building up the best indie-style promotion in the world without any of Vince's involvement.

It seems relevant though? It's going to be the main competition, is going to have a TV deal and the people running AEW seem dramatically more competent than anyone in the last couple decades.

Was Walk on that live album because I used Pantera's Walk when i backyard wrestled once and it "got over"

My friends and I mostly did the sort of backyard wrestling where you don't actually wrestle but just talk about what your theme would be and how much pyro you would have and how you would do a shoot cradle driver to people.

I don't care about that, it's just that it's weird to keep bringing up out of nowhere and people were doing the same thing in the spoilers thread for some reason yesterday too.

I'm all for not talking about WWE, there just seems to be no real segue to the "why would Vince care about AEW lol" thing and I'm confused as to why it keeps coming up.

Nakamura is seems like he's definitely sticking around. He's getting paid, his family lives here, he likes living in the US, and by his last couple matches he seems like he might be getting kinda busted up. I'm sure he could go back and have a couple more great matches in Japan, but like... Not many of them.

Right on for Nakamura, using WWE to get paid and take things easier down in Florida. His main roster run may not have set the world on fire or... even slightly warmed up outside of the Rumble win but with his NJPW work and from what I remember of his NXT run he's more than earned it.

Because Raw is insanely long and full of swerve-y poo poo and AEW is going to be the primary competition on the promise of doing way less swerve-y poo poo? He should be worried about it, AEW looks well-funded and so far well-run, Vince is just loving lucky someone else in his company with a lick of foresight did a bunch of work while Vince was busy tanking ratings by putting Baron Corbin on TV all the time.

As for Nakamura it's totally on-brand that he would want to chill out and relax with his family in Florida. Good for him. If he's happy being in the mid-card and having done one big WrestleMania match, more power to the guy. He has nothing left to prove anyways and having his contract come up right now is incredibly good timing if he just wants to just make his money and support his family.

You know, your post yesterday was actually "why would Triple H be worried" and not Vince, my mistake. Triple H probably still is because it's competition WWE didn't previously have, but unlike Vince he does seem to have prepared for it regardless. Vince has an hour of the blandest men he can find every Raw for some reason.

When I was in middle school I used to powerbomb my little brother onto an old king sized matress we had on the floor in an unused upstairs room. We used to "wrestle" and pretend we were our favorite WWF superstars. We were also dumb as poo poo and lucky neither of us got seriously hurt.

Nah, your read of it yesterday as a smartass out-of-place comment wasn't wrong. That was kind of why I mentioned it today - the implication that AEW is dead in the water or being run poorly is absolutely not true and they are doing and saying all of the right stuff to set themselves up to be successful and I could definitely see WWE being much more threatened if they didn't just have NXT, which Vince of course had nothing to do with.
