Yeah, well, none of you are gonna be laughing when Vince cures leukemia just so he doesn't have to put the title anyone but Brock or Roman.

I know no one wants to hear fantasy booking, but Braun really should come out at TLC dressed as the demon.

Yeah, I'm starting to think Asuka will probably win the title because Charlotte and Becky will screw each other over in the TLC match.

The WWE cargo cult knows how Becky got so popular but not why so they're just repeating virtually the exact same situation, it's hilarious.

Don't expect her back until the Royal Rumble at the very least. She does still have some troubling symptoms after her concussion(s).

Still dealing with arm numbness?

So it's pretty much official? The Authors of Pain are now simply know as AoP? Or, to Vince, AoPee?

For all the things WWE does that disappoint me (business practices, writing, booking, camera work), it's the name
changes that for some reason really pisstick me off.

Adrian Neville. Big Colin Cassidy. Antonio Cesaro.

It just feels like part of the WWE's method of taking something unique and making it "theirs" as part of their "brand, not wrestlersuperstar" method.

I have no idea what WWE's reasoning is, but I will tell you that I've talked to several friends who aren't wrestling fans who think it's absolutely hilarious that so many wrestlers have fake names that are just totally normal names.

Right, but then they could at least give people nicknames or more interesting names. Some of these guys have stage names less interesting than their real names.

Its amazing how many people don't understand how the gently caress a TLC title match works. Apparently that includes Dave. He is claiming Asuka was added to take the pin.

Which would make sense if the title wasn't on the line. But it is. And every time a title was on the line, the match was contested under ladder match rules.

The point is moot anyway, obviously Rhyno is going to interfere

I don't see how you protect both Becky and Charlotte without Asuka being the winner and I'm just not optimistic enough to expect that.

Interference

Right, but you'd expect interference to come from Ronda, and she'd want to take out both of them.

DarkstarIV posted:

Yeah. There are only two real feasible winners if WWE is still planning on doing Becky vs Ronda at Wrestlemania. Asuka or Charlotte. And while WWE wouldn't give a poo poo personally, I don't think putting the title back on Charlotte right now is a good idea (Charlotte already has the stigma of nepotism surrounding her, and this would only reinforce that argument). But I could see them doing it so they can justify doing "Champion vs Champion" at the Royal Rumble.

Honestly I do think it would be more interesting from a storyline perspective to have Ronda come out and cost both Becky and Charlotte the title. Both of them have humiliated her over the past month or so, and Charlotte in particular has been real vocal about "seeing" Ronda at TLC. And Becky has been mouthing off on social media, and completely humiliated her on the RAW before Survivor Series.

It would also make the Royal Rumble a bit more unpredictable if neither Becky or Charlotte held the title.

I suppose it could make sense for Asuka to win the title and then drop it to Charlotte at Wrestlemania. But I would like to see Charlotte hold the title at the Rumble, just so Becky can win the Rumble and then give us that sweet sweet swerve when she challenges Ronda instead of Charlotte.

Asuka should cut a promo in "Japanese," then have Nakamura come out and claim she wasn't speaking Japanese, and never explain it.
