I don't disagree with you Fooch but boy you are aggressively avoiding the point that Jordan was ever written into this spot and was then written into the spot of being replaced. He's not dead in the water because he is bad, he is dead in the water because booking made a series of choices that held him under until he died.

Dude American Alpha was loving AMAZING and WWE is idiotic for breaking them up. We're talking about different things. The segment tonight is only an indirect referendum on that. In a match that's supposed to be super important I will never criticize replacing an absolute dead in the water act with a big star that will pop the crowd and IMO add significantly more intrigue into how the match plays out.

I wanna argue that there was some potential for Jordan to get over by pulling a 2014 Ziggler in this match, but, he's not going anywhere as long as he has this anchor of a story around his neck, so whatever.

Fact is, it doesn't matter how good his wrestling is (pretty drat good) or how good his promos are (pretty drat bad), this My Black Son story is just loving poison and I don't know why WWE is still trying with it.

the difference here is that, while not being great, wacky stuff can work with ambrose, jordan has been given the worst angle in loving years. while working against his strengths. and broke up a tag team that mainly got derailed since they decided not to do anything with them for 8 months after slater and rhyno got over

Here's my thing. I feel for Jason Jordan. I'm not saying he doesn't have talent. I'm also not saying he wasn't put in a bad spot. That said though, WWE corrected course on an abysmal situation in a big 4 either main or semi-main in a pretty effective way. So yeah.

Dean Ambrose could bounce back because he has both an indy reputation to lean back on and the SHIELD which, with Daniel Bryan and CM Punk were the hottest acts of the last 10 years. Jason Jordan was a pretty much nobody pulled up from NXT and unless someone can pull a miracle out of him like Smackdown did for Tyler Breeze, he's just kind of on his way to being a higher profile Tye Dillenger fuckup. Called up and separated from what he was over with, unable to show why he was ever over, and then dropped and forgotten because McMahon and the main roster booking crew got bored.

If they'd done extremely corny poo poo like this, it probably would've gotten over better. The best part of this whole thing was when Jordan threw produce at Elias. Which was by far the most cornball part of all of it.

Doesn't hurt that Dean Ambrose is legit one of the best talkers in the company when he gets going. The dude can bounce back from garbage essentially an infinite number of times because the second he's given something he can sink his teeth into, he's gonna turn back into the Jon Moxley Is Gonna loving Kill You guy.

You are saying replacing [insert wrestler here] with HHH is a good idea.


For fucks sake, they could have used anyone. Asuka could have taken his place. Michael Cole. A sock with "A Literal Sock" written on it. Instead HHH figured this was yet another opportunity to focus every spotlight in the arena on his old rear end.

Jason Jordan finds outs his full name is actually Jason James Jordan thus making him JJJ and also that means he could be HHH's son too and now Kurt and HHH have to have a Dad Off and show how much they appreciate their fake illegitimate son and along the way Kurt and HHH learn how to love themselves as well


also HHH can say 'i always thought my pedigree was my Awesome Cool Maneuver but it turns out it is my Wonderful Son, Triple J"

You are being a gigantic baby and also pretty wrong. You may not like it but that doesn't make it objectively bad. The crowd was losing their poo poo for Trips. Far more than I would've, though I didn't hate it. That makes it a smart short term decision which is all it is, just like Angle joining The Shield.

Also the rest of Raw was good. Even Roman did a pretty good promo! And Braun killed Kane! Joe and Finn!

Let's not forget the dumbest thing, which is that immediately after Jordan was named as Kurt's beautiful black son, they took away his straps so he couldn't do the "straps down!" tribute to Kurt that he did BEFORE this angle.

He was probably best in the world in 1999/2000 but since his return in 2002 he's had, like, 5 great matches and maybe 2 or 3 good angles. And while I said earlier "don't blame the talent for bad booking," HE IS THE BOOKER.

gently caress him and gently caress everything about him, he hasn't had a good match or angle since Daniel Bryan or the Shield and that was three and a half years ago and before that he had a couple good matches with Undertaker at Mania where the angles were ok at best. Stay the gently caress off my tv

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.
Jordon is like Big Cass is like Roman Reigns, WWE thinks in a tag team the break out single star is the big explosive hot tag so when they split them they mostly want to push that big move guy not realising they were carried by their partners (Gable, Enzo, Rollins).

If WWE owned NWA in the 80s they would've thought the singles talent in the Rock n Roll Express was Robert Gibson.
