I like how the guy with the chainsaw gingerly touches each ring rope while the group encourages him.

I also like how that could have been done with bolt cutters or something instead of having a actual chainsaw around a bunch of people

Jerusalem doesn't get enough praise for his usual weekly recap summaries. I kept track of reading about each weekly show one time, and the most coherent sounding thing in 7 hours of programming over the span of 5 days was "Keith Lee won a match"

All you have to do is compare this bullshit to the Nexus invasion and it's night and loving day.

When Aces and 8s did their first major attack, I remember a week later Hogan was cutting a promo in the ring and briefly referenced it, refusing to dignify the situation by claiming that they wouldn't be showing a replay of the incident. People complimented this because it came off as a semi-realistic reaction.

So there you go. Worse than Aces and 8s.

You'd think that after a group of anarchists tried to sabotage your show on Monday that you'd do something about it to stop it from happening again like calling in the cops or beefing up security but nope, WWE just gonna sit holding their dicks all week and let it keep happening

My favorite part was that although a terrifying group in all black with masks and weapons are breaking into the show Cole takes the time to read out clearly (and badly) scripted lines like IS THAT RETRIBUTION?!?! and continuing to parrot Vince lines ruining any tension the event could have had instead of throwing off his headset and getting the gently caress out of there like what would happen in a real situation. Mix that with the awful drunk drone shake shots and bad production and it all just seems so cringey.

WWE physically can't stop themselves from over-scripting EVERYTHING lol

I like how they broke out a chainsaw but you never actually saw it cutting a rope since the rope would have ricocheted back and killed someone. So instead we get terrible editing.

“Ultimately, none of defendants’ numerous arguments succeeds. Basically, this is because the complaint, while not a model of clarity, adequately alleges an overall claim of securities fraud that is not only plausible, but also complies with the relevant heightened pleading requirements applicable to this kind of action. While defendants have trotted out a virtual herd of objections to the (lawsuit), on close inspection, none is a winner.“

Remember how Rhea losing to Charlotte was a key part of her storyline?

I feel like [the spotlight on me] diminished a little bit, but we all have to share the spotlight. I had my time to shine and it will come again, but right now Io is the NXT Women's Champion and I'm working my way back up to be in that spotlight again. Whether that comes or not, we'll see. I've got to try other things and face other people as well. I had my time and everyone is going to have their time and I'm just happy to be here and wrestling and kicking butt."

It's funny but the NXT women's division is too good and too crowded. They should be able to go back and forth from NXT to Raw or Smackdown as needed. I mean, the brand split should just be done away with period, but Rhea would be a good opponent for Bayley. So maybe she's winning that match. Tegan would be another good choice. Or Io if she drops the belt to Dakota.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I keep visualising a "ypu must be this tall to ride" sign next to him. Hes reaching up like he cant reach the top shelf so hard.
