I just have to ask:

Are Becky and Seth actually dating or am I being worked? Am I seriously being worked up in this joint?

Really, I think I’m being worked and I don’t want to fall for it.

All evidence points to legit. Part of this evidence is how much Becky doesn't like that it's a storyline - shockingly she wants her own stories.

Not a work but its also that it will never last in that they clearly lack substantial personality chemistry. More likely they both enjoy each other physically and when the sheen wears off will break up.

Cool. I’ll say no more. Just picture my face as the super bugged out eye emoji or something because the fact that (and I need to look this up but I think they twitt about it 4-5 times per week) WWE Tweeter sends out messages so much each week to say “hey they’re a couple did you know they’re a couple look they touched each other they’re a couple fans!” and their storyline and moniker is not The Architect Seth Rollins or The Jax of WWE Becky Lynch but instead THE BOYFRIEND Seth Rollins and his partner, The Giiiiiiiiiiiiirlfriend, BECKY LYNCH I am just mindblown at this point.

I can’t even do a sentence correctly at all I’m so mindblown by this. I don’t even think Impact at their worst did a long storyline about being defined as a girlfriend/boyfriend that was this awkward and feeling forced.

Its worse than that. All evidence shows Seth is incapable of clean breakups. Now imagine two of your main eventers end up hating each other and unlike say Shawn v Bret they aren't allowed to fight and will want to be avoiding each other as much as possible. Its a ticking time bomb that they instead put front and centre as an angle.

Pick a current WWE female wrestler. Whoever, doesn't matter. Now, she's in NXT as a regular and kind of over. On a lark, records a song and it becomes a huge hit. It's popular everywhere. #1 on the charts. Performs live in concerts and award shows. Gets a spot on RAW to perform the song live. Before the performance, they do a promo where that wrestler gets a title shot after the performance/that closes out the show. Does WWE put the title on that NXT wrestler?

While the shirt itself is real this image itself is a photoshop, right? The text is just sitting flat on top of the shirt ignoring the curve of the material which somehow makes it more hilariously pathetic. If it isn't photoshopped then that is an OCD nightmare from which I will never awake.

They make her win by dq after interference from a third wrestler. Steph proceeds to turn it into a tagmatch. Let's say Natalya is her partner for this occasion. NXT star gets the pin on the current titleholder, ensuring no one gets over.

Young Bucks recreate this segment in the cringiest way possible in Being the Elite.

I'm so glad we now have two storylines about wrestlers not being allowed to pork their wives. (Which include zero-to-minimal wrestling, on this wrestling show.) Meanwhile Super Hunk Heartthrob Baron Corbin and Everyone's Dream Wife Lacey Evans must clarify for the people that they're not banging, either (crazy, as they're both such catches), which is a good thing because sex is bad and will be the downfall of Becky and Seth??

I know the answer is one specific person, but I still don't understand who this show is for any more. He can't find this that engaging.

It looks like they centered it as though Becky's little logo thing was part of the text, which makes it even funnier

If WCW had won it would now just be where TNA is, which I can't honestly say is categorically worse than WWE any more. And AEW likely would have started sooner, so overall I'd take the trade.

WCW would have burned out somewhere in the early 2000s before getting anywhere near here.

WCW won really is early TNA, and even the first few years of it. It screamed the sort of neon yellow that felt like WCW in that period, with The X-Division feeling straight out of that era. Its why TNA was also terrible, because it felt like WCW continued but in the worst possible way. TNA now is nowhere near as bad as it was, but no one cares about it. If You wanted prime WCW era continuation as a winner I have no idea what it would've been. For a long time noone was doing southern style, and the 2000s indies had its own style that is what WWE has adopted but combined with WWE style and toned down significantly.

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

That main event was insane. Completely insane.

So you introduce a masked character and then he starts doing some crazy flashy stuff, obviously showing that he's really another wrestler under there. That's a simple story but it works, and it would have gotten a huge pop if Cedric just took the mask off and pinned McIntyre (since God Forbid Shane lose). You could position Cedric as an anti-authority guy or Roman's new buddy or whatever. Something.

So instead you have Cedric lose clean after taking ONE big move and without taking the mask off until the match is over. And everybody just kinda looks confused and Cedric is all smiley and happy because he's out there having fun.

How the hell have the WWE forgotten how to do the most basic things?
