Reading SD spoilers: I guess is Persona 5 then!!!

Also regarding the cw, they cant even book the main roster properly what makes them think they can write more shows? I hope the womens division doesnt end the same way.

If the man is made out of leather than how is the leather pulled down onto something?

I don't know if you'd put the leather onto a skeleton or some kind of fiberglass superstructure but you'd need something to put it on.

loving hell WWE, how are they so bad at gimmicks. The fashion police should always look amazing in their outfits, with tailored clothing. Is that so hard?

Back in the 80's Ted Dibiase was given a fund to live the gimmick, now the fashion police in week 2 are wearing atrocious outfits, and much worse jokes. My hopes for them are already lowered a lot :(

Also, new Usos are weird as hell to me, but at least they now have personalities.

breezango understands that in different cultures the mores of fashion are inevitably changed, with that in mind they wore the hottest cop fashion in london, i don't see the problem. also yeah the new usos are still a little strange but a lot better than usos 1.0 or the in-between, usos 1.0 but mean

i like the build they're doing for nakamura, it'd be a bit silly to just debut him on a weekly show, he's not tye dillinger over here, but they've had him actually come out, not just video packages until backlash, and tonight they let him show off some offense while still teasing the audience for a full match later down the road. at the very least we all got to see dolph ziggler get kneed in the head a little bit tonight.

also, fandango squatting down, tasting the paint, and saying "that's lead. lead paint" is very, very funny, sorry.

glad to see wwe found a way to gently caress up the best hour of tv they've had going the last few months

i guess with the stories being as slow burn as they are it shouldn't gently caress up the pacing too bad to basically split those matches between different weeks, but still a bummer

They can do the hot cop fashion of london, that's fine. They shouldn't be wearing cheap tacky costumes that don't fit them- they are supposed to always be fashionable, and jerks about it.

And yes, Fandango instantly detecting lead paint by taste was great. More jokes like that would have been swell.

It's really hard to be invested in anything in the WWE right now. Besides the Breezeango push and the Alexa Nia friendship. The WWE is youtube clips for me right now and I'm alright with that.

So who becomes Dream Gate champ first: Tozawa or Ben-K?

If he wanted to come back to DG there's no way they wouldn't make him champ immediately. It's too good an opportunity to pass up. Might as well send Uhaa back too since they've given him a whole lot of nothing.

Also Tozawa leaving made H.A.Gee.Mee cry and I'm so not okay with that. :(

I don't remember the last time a week of England shows wasn't poo poo.

Also Jinder sucks, new MST3K is good, and 205 Live was/is wasted potential but is also overrated in its current form and I don't understand people who say it's the best WWE TV.

I want SD to beat Raw but not with the top program being Orton/Mahal. God I can't fathom a worse top program.

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

Oh god it's even worse than I thought. Related from the video: Luke Harper's face makeover is kinda hilarious. Change the singlet to clean black, and get a man bun.

He at least seems to be even about it, and somewhat cautious of his health. Not as stupid as he could be, but that's a low bar.

I had the opposite read. It's not if the doctors feel good, it is if HE feels good. I unironically look forward to him losing all of his hair to Atlantis.

It is except without Matanza doing the angle shift and going one way then suddenly reversing direction.

Matanza lowers them and swings left before lifting them and swining right. Rowa just holds them and spins.
