They pushed John Cena as an underdog despite never losing for like a decade so I don't know how this is surprising to anyone.

How can he overcome the odds!?

The money is in the chase even if it lasts 10 years

All NXT and former-NXT wrestlers tweeting about how proud they are is so cringe. Even if they really believe what they've wrote it still comes off as corporate mandated and written, which is like the opposite vibe the "underdog" brand should have.

I was told the delay in the NXT announcement last night was due to late negotiations with FOX. So don't give Meltzer a hard time basically.

SOMETHING will air on Smackdown tonight probably what was going to air on Raw.

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.

PR person sent Cien a post to post for his twotter. Cien posted it without removing the first line saying "hey post this". LA Park did the same thing.

I've been poking in and out of Raw and Smackdown every so often when they're on and one thing I notice is they at least have the matches go on for a bit longer than they did the last time I saw a full Raw a few months ago which had mostly terrible backstage segments or promos and then like <5 min matches.

The problem I have is with the way they shoot the matches with all the too frequent constant cuts/angles and shaking and zooming in and out, it's just really annoying as gently caress to watch and I can't really get a feel for the matches or enjoy them as much as I'd like to. I think if they cleaned up the production and allowed the matches to be longish, the product would be so much better even with the mostly lukewarm stories and promos.

At the risk of posting about posters, I always thought rovert's 'gimmick' if it is a gimmick is to criticize/out-scoop Dave Meltzer, so fair play to him for acknowledging times that Shave Sheltzer isn't a lying shill in the pocket of Big Bucks/Big Flair/Big 90210/Big Roller Derby

If they had to do a clean finish, it's better to pin the OC than either Seth or Braun and I'm happy the main event didn't end in a DQ. Now, why they put this match together in the first place...

It's some kinda weird nonsense that when I google 'who is the authority in WWE' I don't get informed that it is actually me and I'm why wrestling sucks now.

Instead I get this weird bullshit about the McMahon family. Whoever those losers are.

Yeah, but it took the Khasoggi murder for things to really sink in for a lot of people.

In other news, seems like the dumb no wrestling during commercial breaks workarounds have ended. Let’s all remember that absolute lunacy fondly.
