Do you think I posted to this forum because I value your companionship?

Remember that Wrestlemania battle royale where they teased Sarah Logan winning and the live crowd actually seemed excited and into it for the moment? And then they had Carmella pop out from Jerry Lawler position and throw her out from behind?

Has DeSantis been the most incompetent Governor in terms of his reactions to "the current circumstances"? Perhaps I'm simply more aware of it because of pro-wrestling, but as a non-American he seems to appear in news a lot more than others doing incredibly stupid things.

In the background, the Monday Night RAW videoboard flashes with logos and colors. Standing in front, clad in a black tank-top, is the chairman and CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, Vince McMahon, flexing his biceps in defiance. What a rotten man!

If there is no God, we should invent one so it can invent Satan and then Vince can burn in hell when he dies.

It's a tossup between him and Tate Reeves of Mississippi, who not only was equally lax about issuing a stay-at-home order but spent the week beforehand personally countermanding the orders various local counties had issued because Mississippi was better than "dictatorship models like China"

so i guess this is the final official tally of main roster releases today, according to the main website. this should probably be placed in the OP.

He's a loving monster just like all the Republican governors who would prefer to ignore the whole thing but Cuomo completely bungled the New York response and has a ton of blood on his hands

I shouldn't be surprised but it really is disgusting that WWE is more likely than not to be waiting to use some of these people for one last show before telling them they're fired.

South Dakota's Gov. Noem has been very, very bad. Over 1,000 new cases since April 1st, she won't institute social distancing, and for bonus points one of the largest pork processing plants in the US just had to shut down because 300 workers got coronavirus. This represents around 5% of the nation's pork processing capacity. Fortunately I stocked up on bacon.

He was plucked from obscurity by Trump and barely won. Hes pretty much as incompetent as you would expect from his performance so far.

This last month of her career must have been so baffling for her. She gets booked into an angle with Liv and a returning Ruby that looks set to play on their status as a stable but then Shayna just effortlessly beats all of them in the PPV match without any of them ever touching each other, then gets her elbow stomped by Shayna in a match she is declared the winner of before the result just gets randomly overturned, then she gets fired.

What do you think was the best overall episode of Raw or Smackdown. The thing is when I think of episodes with good storylines it was in a time period when the wrestling sucked. And when the wrestling was great I didn't enjoy the storylines.

I'm betting it's from somewhere between 2000 and 2001.

Greatest ever episode of Smackdown was the Halloween Special in 2002.

That's also the episode that features Eric Bischoff putting on a Vince McMahon mask then making out with Stephanie.

I swear to god Stone turning heel in 2001 was when I turned the corner and WWE lost my trust in their storytelling ability and the years after that are just littered with baffling tv moments like this. Or like that time Vince beat up Stephanie. Or the un-Americans poo poo. Or Vince vs God.

That one episode of Smackdown where the Shield get forced into a handicapped match against the entire heel roster, so they spend the episode taking out everyone they can backstage.
