Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Hopefully Charlotte wins at Mania by making Becky tap out and Corey Graves can screech on commentary "Another millennial loser just lost, you fans were stupid for ever supporting her or for watching this product."

I also really hope Stephanie is a special guest referee and her biased refereeing becomes a part of the storyline, which can then continue for several months before entirely losing steam and leaving Becky completely where she was before this run. The last thing I want to see is a super over babyface cleanly beat a dominant heel and then get to be champion for several months.

Usually, when the evil McMahons ask the bad rear end underdog to kiss their rear end, the bad rear end underdog... doesn't kiss their rear end.

This is a bold choice, a new direction

but what if kissing mcmahon rear end is actually good?!?!?!

I know Corey probably buys into it anyway, but what is with Boomers having a raging boner for millenials hating on millenials for being millenials?

The thing that is bizarre is people getting mad about Becky’s character as though it matters when everyone involved is aware it’s a storyline.

And Becky has to lose sometimes. It’s fine. Becky has been put over nonstop for months and the purpose of this angle is putting Becky over again.

she swallowed her pride and apologized in order to get her main event, then the bad guys turned around, did maniacal cartoon laughter, and denied her what was offered. becky, enraged, will certainly seek her revenge

again, people have emotional reactions to things then fail to process it and instead decide that it was objectively bad to keep their smark pride in tact

swallowing her pride was completely unnecessary and was done entirely to get vince more heat rather than as part of some redemption storyline

i mean this point makes sense except you're still watching this product. this is what the product is. the mcmahons and this bullshit.

again, if people wanna go "wwe is bad and i do not enjoy the way they tell stories" that's fine and i agree. but the story being told at the moment is fairly good and makes sense by the standards of wwe.

The problem is that smarks hate admitting emotional investment into wrestling angles outside of just straight up workrate.

This angle is extremely hot and somewhat ironically the whining about Charlotte Flair is making her a bigger star than she has ever been. This is just the angle people asked for them to give Roman Reigns.
