I think Nia was just totally gassed at that point, its like she tried to start the move, was just too tired and flopped like someone pushed to failure at the gym. She looks exhausted as Sasha approaches and just collapses after the botch. It's possible being out of the performance centre has led to her physical condition slipping.

yeah it looks like she picks up sasha and then is too exhausted to do the move. so she just drops her on her face

Being out of the PC leads to everyone's condition slipping because the work rates and amount of travel are loving insane. Injuries are basically the only time wrestlers can actually get back to their peak levels like Dean or Big Show.

do you think the wrestlers realize that vince genuinely doesnt give one poo poo about their safety and well-being

They have known this since Owen Hart died and 15 minutes later people were wrestling, they just try really hard to not remember this fact any time someone asks.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
If only Jim Ross were still in power he could send all the fat losers like Nia back to developmental like he did Big Show and Mark Henry.

Sorry Nia, we're pulling you out of WWE 2k20 because you're really fat and suck at wrestling. You've been replaced in the story mode by Stevie Richards.

Thats whats up!
The roster is so bloated at this point they they might as well start sending people who are going no where or suck back to the PC . They had Breeze show up on NXT a few weeks ago and he had his best match in years and was actually over.

Was listening to Post Wrestling on the way into work today and apparently the reason that Heyman/Lesnar promo was so weird is they were timing it so Lesnar’s entrance coincided with halftime of the college football game. They had Heyman filling time till they got the green light to go.

Still a dumb idea and resulted in a weird promo, but at least I can understand the reasoning behind it now.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

So Lars Sullivan is like a literal, no poo poo, actual full on white supremacist but what's the deal with Lacey Evans? The gimmick is obviously alt rightish and it seems like she lives the gimmick on Twitter? And I guess she dressed her kid up as some fantasy character that amounted to blackface and then reacted real bad when people were all "uh, blackface"? Is she like a real bad guy or just playing one on TV?

Not that I actually think its a cool or ok thing for the lovely racist company deeply tied to all the terrible hard right poo poo to make gimmicks to capitalize on the terrible hard right poo poo even if they're heels. Just trying to figure out the individual.

I think she's just extraordinarily tone-deaf about racism, as opposed to a literal white supremacist like Lars.

I'm betting she's more establishment Republican "not actively racist but wonders why white people aren't allowed to use the N-word" racist, compared to Lars "Yeah I sure hate n******!" Sullivan

She comes off as that low key racist that most white people are. Not a white supremacist but benefits from and has never questioned existing privileges.
