Thats whats up!
Nia stealing Truth's spot was infinitely more interesting than Truth coming in doing two moves and getting eliminated. Not sure how I feel about three dudes taking turns hit her with moves, but it is what it is.

They buried the gently caress out of the MMC gimmick because neither of them actually got to enter at 30. Because no poo poo having someone at 30 who is a jobber we know in advance about is insanely dumb.

If Owens is cleared he deserves a Mania payday, kayfabe Lashley is the one who put him on the shelf. Bring him back as a face, he should be able to carry Bobby to a watchable match at Mania and Kevin sardonically dunking on Lio in promos leading up to it should be amusing.

Yea, to no one's surprise, announcing that the winners of MMC would be #30 entrants wouldn't bring any extra eyes to the MMC platform. At least with Carmella she was a recent champion. I had feeling a feeling something stupid would happen to R-Truth.

Poor Lana, why can't she just be a poo poo heel manager. Isn't it twice now that Rusev accidentally knocked her off the apron? I just wish they'd focus Rusev with a real feud and not have stupid shenanigans happen between him and his wife.

It definitely did, and became even more impressive when Charlotte seemed totally unable do that like 20 minutes later.

WWE only understands two things to do with couples: put them in terrible, stupid angles together, or split them into different touring groups to ruin their relationship.

It was a dumb idea for a prize to remove the suspense of the number 30 spot.

I’d rather they both get title shots that they can throw away on a TV ep, especially if half the competitors get replaced due to injury so they end up with jobbers in the finals again. Worst case scenario they put a squash match on Smackdown that week.

I mean, they did the whole thing, nobody watched it and then everyone of relevance dropped because they had almost literally anything else to do. Like, I think Charlotte, AJ, Becky, etc. were all in it at some point.

On that note I still can't believe the Mandy Rose feud didn't end with her seducing the wrong Uso. But I guess the dedication to terrible angles runs even deeper than that.

Speaking of the Usos, I haven't sat down to count, but I feel with a couple NXT guests, counting the Usos, recent call ups like Sanity/EC3 and so forth they could have put on a full second rumble.

And actually stocked it with talent. WWE is crazy talent rich now, it's mind-boggling.

i think its good for the women and men to fight each other. if you have a problem with this, its because deep down you think that women are inferior to men and can't take care of themselves. it bothers you to see a woman fight a man because you think that a woman can never beat a man and has no place fighting a man. Nia kicking the poo poo out of Mustafa Ali was great, and it was great that she actually needed to be taken down physically instead of being tricked out of the ring or something. i have a little niece who is going to be a huge fat bruiser one day and i want her to become the WWE universal champion.

I can't imagine what they could possibly gain having Becky Lynch fighting Seth Rollins or some poo poo. There's no tangible benefit and the MMC is dumb regardless of whether Randy Orton RKOs girls or not.

I had a dream about this a few months ago.

There was a spot where Becky had Seth in a figure four and was just smashing her belt into his knee over and over. They were all bloodied up at the end. Seth went over with the Rainmaker Knee.

I dunno I just don't like to see simulated violence against women if it isn't going to be lunchafied. I just ask myself if I would be comfortable with lesnar laying the elbows into a woman's face and surprisingly the answer was no.

I just don't want to see 130 pound women in matches with 220 pound dudes who could kill them with their bare hands. It doesn't feel right to me. Nobody gains anything from it whatsoever and the fact it might be a good match doesn't really move the needle for me.

I wasn't offended by the Nia spot since it was a gimmick, but replace Nia, with say, Sasha Banks, and that goes from a gimmick spot to real hosed-up lightning fast and Sasha is obviously a significantly better worker than Nia is.

I don't think that's the point more than I don't want to see Sasha Banks take RKOs from a 6'4" roided up 225 pound dude. Whatever the impact is on match quality, I think it's really unsettling.

this appearance itself made it out like women are inferior to men by presenting nia's shot at winning the mens rumble as a much bigger deal than her winning the womens rumble.
