And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

lol between this and Asuka/Kairi being dropped down to tag-team status for a division that's weak as poo poo, idk what to think anymore. Meanwhile the women's division is just loving Charlotte 24/7 365 days a year and Baron Corbin Beatings Everyone

Found this quote on Wikipedia about Kabuki Warriors: Andy McNamara of Game Informer said, "Quite frankly, this game is a joke. The fighters you face early on are so easy to beat, I literally won a match just bashing the controller against my rear end. I wish I was joking, but the score is seriously Kabuki Warriors zero, my rear end one. Some of the warriors are cool to look at with all their elaborate garb and authentic dance, but the fighting is pathetic."

vince's long term plan has been to whittle the potential audience for wrestling on TV down to basically nothing over twenty years, thus destroying any future competition regardless of how good or bad the actual TV show is

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
Makes sense. We all know that deep in his heart Vince McMahon hates pro wrestling and that he has been a failure at every endeavor outside of it. It will be his final "gently caress you" to kill it off.

This character I lovingly compared to Hillary Clinton turned out to be a power hungry war-monger. I'm SHOCKED!

And J-Ru is right. Despite the drop in quality, the end of GoT is going to draw HUGE numbers

OFFICIAL RACIST
Its amazing how quickly the women's tag title scene has turned into a joke. I mean in terms of actual credible women, you have...the Kabuki Warriors. And maybe Beth/Natalya (since they've been working the house show circuit together).

I mean yeah the IIconics are tag champs but I'd say their reign is starting to wear pretty thin already since they haven't wrestled on TV in almost a month, and they are on a 4 match losing streak. And they somehow make commentary even worse whenever they show up on it.

As for the women's division in general, its kinda bad yeah. WWE is busy pushing a known homophobic, racist piece of trash in Lacey Evans on RAW, and I'm not really shocked Smackdown continues to be the Charlotte Flair show. Wouldn't be shocked if they just moved Ember and Bayley over there so Charlotte would have more people to go over when the time comes.

NXT is in a weird spot as well with Shayna's reign starting to grow incredibly stale, but its likely not ending any time soon because Triple H has said in interviews he is going to try and keep her down in NXT until Jessamyn and Marina are ready to be called up as well. Which will be never at the rate they are progressing.

I don't wanna get too off on a tangent here but there are multiple subplots in season 3 of GoT where characters lose their virginity and inexplicably knock it out of the park on the first try. I'm pretty sure the wildlings think Jon Snow invented eating pussy. This show has not gotten worse.

That brief NXT Documentary series they did on the network a few years ago was the thing that turned a lot of people around on Baron Corbin while he was being mediocre down there, so i'm not surprised he's good on this.
