My guess is that she's gonna be the mystery partner and end up losing like the biggest geek in the universe, because that's the absolute worst way to end this story.

No, the worst way is that they will have her win while looking like the biggest geek.

No, it's dumb to blame her for them treating her poorly.

Again, it's been shown the best way to get out of WWE is to work through your contract and let it expire. Or I guess she can try opening an OnlyFans and see if that works.

Which contract would that be? WWE being insanely lovely to her and her husband isn't a recent development, she must have re-signed some time in there.

Wait, are they doing Asuka and a mystery partner for the tag titles instead of doing Mandy/Dana that was set up on Raw?

If they aren’t going to use Lana, either do Mandy/Dana for the tag or do Shayna/Asuka for the Raw title.

I assume what they’ll do is just have Lana be the mystery partner anyways.

This. They're going to have Charlotte be the mystery partner instead of doing the logical thing like having her return as a surprise rumble entrant.

Only acceptable if she barges to the ring, and for some reason Lana stands on the entrance ramp and Charlotte shoulders her aside like she's Braun and Lana is Ray Mysterio.

My guess is that Lana is the mystery partner at TLC and fights through the injury. Because that's what what they would do if they were trying to make her a super babyface.

Or they replace her because they're incredibly incompetent.

It will be Lana’s sister Lani, and it will be Keith Lee with a blonde wig on

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



Procrastinator posted:

Oh god, you’re right. Because the tag belts are meaningless they’ll have her and Asuka win them as a way to create a breakup story leading to Charlotte wining the Raw belt, maybe at the Rumble.

he deserves a lot of respect for being able to shake off all those wacky lines (the promos AND the move) so quickly

I still remember when he did that move the first time and it was a cool surprise. And because it got a reaction they had him do it in every single match. Then it wasn't a surprise anymore, so it stopped being cool.

It was at a live event. We can start a three-prong story. One was at TakeOver Brooklyn with Velveteen Dream. I was DDT’d on a ramp and I don’t remember anything until I woke up in a trainer’s room. They asked if I knew where I was? I said no. I don’t remember the match which sucks because that’s a big platform. I came back 6 weeks later and I got caught with a knee to the back of the head in an NXT match. That’s the second one in two months so they were really going to be cautious. While I was out, I got called up with the concussion which felt weird. Anytime I’ve been injured, it’s never been how long until I’m healthy, it’s always how long until I can be back. I probably came back too soon, but I was getting called up. It was the moment I waited for my whole life. It was all I ever wanted. I got called up with it. The run is what it is. I think a few months down the road, a live event match, I got caught with a Luchadore flying forearm or something. It knocked me silly but I kept trying to work with it because I didn’t think it was what it was. One day I showed up for TV, fish white, and if I’m not tan, something is wrong. They asked if I was alright? I said I don’t know. I took the test and I was concussed. I went through the protocol and coming back from the protocol, I couldn’t pass the test this time. It was very difficult. They have a physical therapist available which I’m very grateful for to help you with sensory things to get through this. They have a psychiatrist too because there was something with the dopamine released in my brain. I was a mess. I was alone in this suite, one-percenter in this apartment in downtown Orlando. But I’m living there as a recluse, sitting on my couch, miserable and I’m brain dead in the dark. The TV couldn’t even stay on because it hurt my brain. It sucked for a long time. For residual effects, I don’t know if there was a change in psyche and mentality and stuff like that perhaps, but as far as being able to perform in the ring safely to myself and my opponent, I have no residual effects.

WWE concussion protocol is bullshit. If he's mentioning psyche changes he might have brain damage.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

A lot of the guest hosts spots were really cringey/bad, sometimes they were good, sometimes just completely irrelevant but there was usually still something worth watching on the show.

Now they've got some of the best talent in the world and making an even worse product, somehow.

I keep wanting to answer this with a resounding yes since the guest host era was at least memorable and didn't outright insult the fans' intelligence. But it's still really hard to make a case for it since so much of the guest host era was cringey.
