I do think Kairi said はなせ (hanase) instead of "I'm not set," but what she said doesn't really matter when you gently caress up that move that badly. Nia Jax can huff my goddang shorts.

So does this mean whoever tackles Gronk and pins his shoulders for more than 3 seconds becomes the new champ? Someone is going to need to pay attention to who the lineal champ is going to be from now on.

The argument is whether Nia is merely a massively dangerous botch machine or actively out to hurt Sane. I guess she could have been trying to get her poo poo in like when Charlotte almost killed Sane, but what poo poo does Nia even have to get in? Punches and Samoan Drops shouldn't be that dangerous.

The problem wasn't "not being set" it was the fact that the only part of her Nia got close to a turnbuckle was her loving head

there was a tweet and some discussion about kairi sane saying "i'm not set." please don't say things like "that's not the argument", etc. You're arguing something else that has nothing to do with that and every single person in the world agrees with you. Don't ever get mixed up around me again

I don't blame her for saying she's not set and to let her go. Nia should not be in the business, and sending her back to developmental where she still won't learn will solve nothing

That and the Patty/Paddy argument in the HIMYM thread.

Per the rules of the 24/7 Title, Gronk must defend his championship at all times in any location. He could be celebrating a touchdown pass from Tom Brady... anytime, anywhere.”

GAMERDOME put down LOSER
Imagine being told in an important game "hey could you sit on Gronk for three seconds to do an angle for this lovely belt we gave him on WWE?" Or after winning or losing said important game, "hey, good news, you tackled him long enough that you won this lovely belt!" Would you not think WWE sounded like the dumbest poo poo ever?

THE LIAR
Honestly, if like, Mike Evans scored a TD and then the offensive guys were celebrating and then Evans rolled up Gronk, that'd be pretty funny.

What'd be even funnier is if somebody on the opposing team did it after a brutal drop or fumble or something.

This has been discussed extensively, but what shits me the most about this is not the botch.

Nia Jax is a bad wrestler attempting a dangerous move, and executing it poorly due to lack of skill/strength, thus hurting her co-worker. This is bad, very bad even. But I don't think it is the worst thing about it.

What is the worst is that Nia seems to be proud of it. There is no "I am embarrassed that I am bad at my job. I am sad that I hurt someone who put their bodily safety in my hands. I am sorry to that person, who was hurt directly because of my actions. I want to, and will try to do better and make sure that something like this won't happen again." There is none of that. Instead there is "Ha ha! gently caress you! Look at how I can injure people with how big and strong I am! Yay me!"

And, to beep boop it for a second, that also doesn't make sense. If Nia was so strong, she would have thrown Kairi further and she would have hit all three turnbuckles with her back, and avoided the botch. If Nia had taken maybe one or two more steps, Kairi would also have hit all three turnbuckles more safely than what happened.

So either 1) Nia Jax is hopelessly bad at wrestling/ring awareness/strength issues, and it was an accident, (that happens far too often). or 2) She was intentionally trying to hurt a woman who placed her trust and physical wellbeing in her hands.

gently caress her, and gently caress the WWE for letting her get away with it and putting her in situations where she can/will do it again.

And I reckon the WWE does that because their thinking is Nia is big, tall, made her name in WWE. and related to the Rock = good. Kairi is foreign, and made her name elsewhere = bad.

I hope Gronk tells WWE to go gently caress themselves with any 24/7 shenanigans and we get something even more pathetic than Undertaker getting stood up by Lebron (we won't because there's nothing quite as pathetic as that).

My guess is that Nia probably regrets the botch but someone has told her that any amount of heat is good heat so that's why she keeps tweeting nonsense after legitimately injuring her co-workers
