WWE are very, very good at one aspect of promoting: Taking someone they don't see as a star and making absolutely sure that it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I would say congrats to Team RAW on their win, but considering there is talk that Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn are legitimately REALLY loving ANGRY at Nia for loving up their main event of Becky vs Ronda, I dunno.

Obviously not that loving angry then.

Just one more thing; that was actually posted several hours ago, so if you want the latest information at crucial times then keep us bookmarked!

Hi I posted for well over a decade on the Oratory forum that spun off of Rajah. We had such high profile posters as reviewer John C. who I can’t even find anymore after he got run off for pretending to be married and Xavier von Erick who founded Perverted Justice and was the most insufferable human being alive

I’m actually a little impressed going there that Rajah still exists and has multiple writers with multiple updates a day actually, and that Rajah apparently still does stuff himself as well. I remember that site feeling weirdly old in the early 2000s

Rajah: more involved with his two decade year old site than Lowtax

- Bayley, Sasha, Ember, and Dana def. Nia Jax, Mickie James, Alicia Fox, and Tamina

- The Bar def. The New Day to retain the tag titles

- Bray Wyatt def. Baron Corbin twice

- Charlotte Flair def. Asuka (apparently this match was really sloppy on the part of Charlotte, and she won via a fluke rollup)

- Shinsuke and Rey bickered on Miz TV, setting up a match.

- Miz interfered, resulting in Rusev and Lana making the save, setting up a tag match.

- Rey Mysterio and Rusev defeated The Miz and Shinsuke Nakamura

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.
I was packed up and ready to go to this show yesterday and trying to find last-minute tickets since it's only a four hour drive but decided against it when I saw the holiday traffic on the interstate. Looks like I dodged a bullet.

Yeah, Starrcade is basically a house show. Absolutely nothing of note happened.


First part I guess was to protect Asuka for now (there was a large amount of backlash online [social media] about Asuka/Charlotte tonight before the match even happened), and the Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose match was for the IC title.

They want to protect Asuka, which is why they're having her lose matches.

She's the Samoa Joe of the Women's division. They just like the idea of that intimidating wrestler that COULD believably win and kick anyone's rear end, but don't want them at the top.

I would argue a rollup is a hell of a lot better than tapping out. Again. Especially since it was very flukey apparently.

And Joe tapped out clean tonight.

Like four years ago the rollup was the most common finish to women's matches on the main roster so I'd hardly consider that protected.

I'd consider it protected considering the event it was held at is basically the "Flair Appreciation Night". Asuka still lost, but at least she didn't look like a loving loser idiot here.

Basically everything about Asuka is tailor made to make sure Vince never pushes her. She's over with smarks, she's Asian, she doesn't speak great English and when she does she has a fairly strong accent, she cares more about being a good worker than about being hot, and she's closer to 40 than 20.

In the weeks leading up to a PPV title shot the non-champ loses like a dozen+ times at house shows. Or sometimes if they’re the face they win by DQ. It’s normal.

You could do a lot worse than Drew McIntyre for your top heel, to be honest.
