If you're going to be a bigot in wrestling at least have the courtesy to be a good wrestler imo.

I didn't watch but someone said Shane killed the rematch clause rule, which is good I guess.

My suggestion to fix Raw: Change Ronda's theme song to Get Rowdy and have R Truth sing her out every time.

2/3 of Kenny's title matches since he won have been with Cody, so I feel like the gap there is not quite as large as you might think.

When Michael Scott failed to pay those kids' tuition in Scott's Tots, did you expect Greg Daniels to appear on screen and make things right?

He did. He paid them all scale.

They got rid of the bad GM who kayfabe booked all the stuff people didn't like and replaced him with the people who actually booked all the stuff people didn't like.

How is this not getting through to you people?!

There are moments that change the business forever. Wrestlemania taking WWE national and making household names of Vince's stars. Nitro launching directly into Raw's face and initiating a battle that would pull the business into its golden era. Baron Corbin being mildly taunted by the actual versions of his character.

Tamina and Nia in the royal rumble.

They also apparently got rid of the face GM Alexa Bliss so that cancels out anyway.

She stood up to unprovoked bullying by Sasha and Bayley and punished the heels who attacked them.

Yes. Have them win a bunch and be good because they're good wrestlers. But, spoilers for next week, they're literally going right back into feuding with Riott Squad, so don't get your hopes up.

You can't be sure of that.

The beatdown could be permanent and Sasha and Bayley become kayfabe dead and never wrestle again.

Kendrick is back to his Spanky look on this week's 205 Live, instead of his long haired Dickie Bennett he'd been doing for years.

Then why doesn't it have 5 stars?

In the same report about Shane's heel turn being canceled they said that Alexa as an authority figure seems to be done too.

It also really shows how much of Alicia's character is how she carries herself and body language stuff.

When she's just sitting there watching a video she seems like a completely different person.

But this means neither of them can win the rumble...

It means a lovely finish where Becky gets screwed somehow, but then shows up in the Rumble to a huge pop.

Or it could mean Becky loses clean but in a protected fashion (passes out in the Asuka Lock), and just enters the Rumble later on in the evening anyways. I wouldn't rule out Carmella being jumped before she comes out and Becky taking her spot.

'Asuka getting a clean win.' Good one.

Where do you come up with this stuff man?

DarkstarIV posted:

Considering Vince is largely behind Asuka right now, its not unrealistic.

And people seem to forget that WWE has no problem having people lose clean before getting big victories at PPVs. See Roman Reigns losing to Bobby Lashley but then winning the title at Summerslam.

The tone of those reports said "Vince cannot understand how audiences still give a gently caress about Asuka but is throwing them a bone here."

I can't speak for others here but almost every time I've done pick-ems I picked what I expected WWE to be dumb enough to do

Yeah it's a prediction game, not fantasy booking.

Has there been a women's elimination chamber match? If not, I see Becky winning that to make a triple threat Ronda/Charlotte/Becky to main event mania.

Yes, Raw did one.

Sasha betrayed Bayley for absolutely no gain and they both lost to Alexa.

That was probably the first one.

I immediately recognized it, so I don't think so. I guess it could've been her first one not on Talking Smack?

Yeah but nobody watched Talking Smack.

If you think the Man thing is overdone you’re probably on Twitter too much. There’s only been like 5 Smackdown with Becky on them since it started.
