there's no reason they can't have strong empowered women in the main event who also do topless photo shoots. feminism has changed.

What I'm really interested to find out tonight is Paige's status. I mean is she no longer needed, will she just have four McMahons leaning over her shoulder the entire time, who knows. Paige is good and I would hate to see her replaced.

It was kinda crazy, especially when Stephanie showed up to put all the women in their place, march them out to the entrance stage and declare EVERYBODY gets an opportunity before specifically putting only 8 of them into a match for a title opportunity.

In one of the most grossly unfair match types possible, to boot!

I'm just remembering when they tried to get American alpha over with gauntlet matches, but it instead just absolutely destroyed the division by them winning multiple.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
Nikki Cross is very cool and good and i'm pretty happy that she's going to be on the main roster, now. She's a great wrestler and I love her character and her Scottish accent.

Though, my God, there's a LOT of women on the main roster, and only 2 belts. I'm thinking perhaps a women's tag team title and/or a women's IC title so the 20+ women who aren't in the big belt's scene have something to do?

Successful stables leverage their shared, smaller power to give themselves a better position in the company/on the card. And crucially, they stick together. This is what the New Day does, this is what the Shield did.

Sanity agreed to be promoted without Nikki Cross and they bombed. I'm not saying that's the explicit reason they bombed, but it's a telling indicator of how willing they are to swallow creative decisions against their best interests, including the decision to "do nothing ever". They absolutely should have refused to come up separately, or dragged their heels about it. "We can be a force in Men's singles, Women's singles, and Tag Team matches at the same time" is a damned good bargaining position.

Nikki can, should, and, gently caress it, will outperform the remainder of Sanity. I'm willing to make a prop bet with someone here that she'll get more onscreen appearances than any two of the other members combined.

Shame on star-studded Sanity for not using their tremendous leverage on the biggest wrestling company in the world. Eric Young would be bigger than Austin if only he'd been called up with Nikki Cross.

gently caress it man. It's hard to even make jokes anymore. Their idea of a big shakeup was the loving McMahons again and just promising to do something different, just trust me baby it will be different this time. Like letting Finn and The Revival win for one week or calling up a bunch of other people to get lost on the roster doing nothing. Sigh. Just don't steal anyone from Smackdown, let me enjoy a few more months of Bryan and Becky before they're gone to RAW.

Also, this pains me to say because I liked him as a face, but this Dean Ambrose heel run is DOA. My god, the dumb entrance with the cosplay Paul Heyman security. And he had NOTHING to say in the promo, just resorting to the dumbest "YOU PEOPLE" stuff. I always thought Dean would have the best heel turn of The Shield when he got to turn loose, but it turns out...there's nothing there. He's the least menacing heel I've seen in recent memory. I thought he was going to be some unleashed, Randy Orton type hurting people for fun, but instead he's a coward, and worse yet, BORING.

When the drug test comes back positive for performance enhancing drugs.
I think it owns that they promise to make things better, have basically the same kind of show as always, and on top of it, they promise new faces and only call up people that no one could possibly care about, because heaven forbid you shake up NXT storylines by calling up an actual star.

No, they had a little lever, and they still didn't use it. If the company doesn't want them as champs and mega-stars, they're not getting to that level. But they could probably get on TV more than once every other month and might not immediately look like dorks.
