I’m curious if Bayley will have the same music. I assumed she would have to change it, but I thought the same thing about Sami Zayn and he found a way to make it work.

Still not sure if I want her to fully embrace being evil or just really enthusiastically be doing a terrible job at it purely because she wants to support her friend Sasha but doesn't really know how to be a bad guy.

1996 Lex Luger in reverse; Bayley continues to act like a traditional face behind Sasha's back but enthusiastically heels it up whenever Sasha is watching her and/or they team together.

im mad at you for coming up with an idea 10 times better than what they’ll do (a generic “you people” promo, then at least once every 3 weeks she does a promo where she pretends to turn face but OHHHHHH MYYYY she was fooling us this whole time)

Dark bayley goes to hug a kid in the front row and then fakes out and gives him the finger.

Starts calling herself the fugger instead of the hugger

Evil Bayley uses the Bear Hug as a finisher, wherein she snaps and has the Bob Backlund 1000 yard dead eye stare and starts taking DQ losses where it takes a half dozen refs to pull her off when she refuses to release the hold and starts sending everyone to the hospital medical facility

dark bayleys theme should just be the “there ain’t no stopping us now” repeated, slowing down and getting deeper in pitch as she walks to the ring eventually replaced by a static noise only children can hear

This is a good idea.

E: since official WWE canon is that bayley is an ugly loser who never got to kiss a boy, they should reveal that the reason she fell to darkness is because she finally got smooched. By whom you ask? That's your big angle going into Mania

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

Dark Bayley needs to be the most competent and cruel heel of all time.

Hall of Pain Mark Henry combined with Heel Doink. I want her beating everybody, making kids cry, and just laughing about all of it.

I don't care if you later explain that she was possessed by a ghost or something, she's earned a dominant heel run after years of being booked like a goober.

we were already sent a message at Summerslam about how much WWE values Ember Moon

also Bayley needs to lose the high ponytail because that poo poo screams face, needs to just wear her hair long to complete the heel look

2004 Tough Enough, frequented Deep South and OVW, was also on Heat. Steph liked him

https://twitter.com/samstein/status/1168873194780016641
I initially got him mixed up with Daniel Puder, who at least had memorable spots as "Tough Enough Winner" and "guy who tried to shoot on Kurt Angle" and "guy who got the absolute poo poo stiffed out of him by Benoit, Eddie, and Bob Holly for five minutes straight in the 2005 Royal Rumble as payback" and then got released immediately but had cups of coffee in Strikeforce, Ring of Honor, and ROH for a few years afterwards.

Rodimer spent a lot of time in developmental, kept being brought out onto house show tours and send back down to developmental, and peaked when he traded wins with Eugene on the Internationally Syndicated era of Heat before getting released, and hasn't wrestled since. He's still a carny at heart though!

quote:

Before he left the Waffle House, Rodimer purportedly threw down a business card with his name and face on it—a clue police would later use to tie him to the attack—and then boasted about how much he liked “hurting people,” according to the police report.

To be clear I wouldn't vote for either Tough Enough Daniel from 2004, but at least Puder did something memorable in his brief stint. The real question is which 2004 Tough Enough participant would you send to Congress if you absolutely had to:

-Daniel Puder
-Daniel Rodimer
-The Miz
-Ryback
-Justice from the American Gladiators reboot
-Mitch from the Spirit Squad
-Chris Nawrocki (not Nowinski)
-Hijo de Big John Studd

(write-in vote possibilities: The Boogeyman and Luke Gallows, neither of which made the final eight)

This episode doesn't sound too bad except the ref segment/making a tournament match a triple threat. They just constantly have to get in their own way by being too cute.

It was really bad. Most of it was dull as gently caress, which is the worst kind of bad. The only real highlights were Sasha, the Bayley turn and the Firefly Funhouse. The Bray booking is weird to me, though, because on one hand they basically announced that he's getting a Universal Title shot at Hell in a Cell without really building to it (presumably because it leaked on Twitter) and it sorta muddies the Clash of the Champions match. I love long-term booking, but this doesn't feel like part of a larger story. It just seems like their plans got leaked so they wanted to make it look like they meant to do it. And the booking around the Braun/Seth match is already muddied enough with all of the AJ/Club involvement. It's a mess.

And the Bayley turn is weird because it seems to be in the service of the Sasha turn, when Bayley should be more focused on her actual Title feud with Charlotte. I'm sure they brought it up at some point, but I honestly don't remember them mentioning the upcoming Bayley/Charlotte match at all. I am interested to see what they do with it tonight, but the way they use wrestlers on both shows and then only acknowledge angles selectively is really jarring.
