Maybe they're just too wowed by the taller Mustafa Ali, who stands a whopping 2 inches taller than Chad, who is only an inch taller than the average American height.

Did the WWE just do an angle where Ham was offered to a Muslim as a bit? Is that real?

Chad Gable and Mustafa Ali deserve so much more and so much better.

I legit hadn't even considered that :doh:

Sami's objection was that he was vegetarian (vegan?) but you're right, I don't know how devout/strict Sami is but that's an incredibly lovely thing to do regardless.

elias is singing to bayley and has made two jokes about her physical looks(she has a gross face and looks like a dude) and has suggested she wants a threesome with him and sasha

I defend WWE a lot because I enjoy WWE and have a lot of love for it's performers but that was either deeply tone deaf or malicious as hell.

edit: the pork/sami deal, I haven't seen the elias bit but that sounds rancid also.

She is, but even if she wasn't WHAT THE gently caress WHY WOULD YOU SING A SONG LIKE THAT!?! Even if he was a heel it would be awful, but he's a loving face!?!

Vince loves humiliating his independent contractors, that matters far more than heel or face alignment

It makes sense when you remember that this is what Vince(and probably Fox executives) think a good guy acts like.

Bayley is a hot suburban mom re-finding herself and her own inner power. Her haircut does her no favors tho.

Because Rock could make material like that work in 1999 and times haven’t changed at all since then

Cole: Corbin won't have that security at ringside for the TLC match with Roman Reigns... I presume?
Graves: He doesn't need them, there's no X-Factor they're needed to deal with.
Cole: There is an X-Factor, I can guarantee Ziggler will be roaming around ringside!

So... why would security not be there but Ziggler is allowed?

i think people are too focused on all the wrestlers being "helped" all the time. Do you ever get helped in real life? no.

Jerusalem

I didn't like the two main event matches both being wastes of time with those bad endings, but credit where it is due: there's a clear face/heel dynamic, the crowd was super-hot behind Roman Reigns, Ziggler got thrown off a ladder as a reminder of the stipulations in the TLC match, Corbin ran like a coward the moment he didn't have the numbers advantage, the Revival and New Day got to remind everybody about their upcoming tag match. It's basic stuff but like with the other promotions where I praise it, it is another reminder how doing the simple stuff well works.

Doesn't excuse so much of the awful stuff during the rest of the show, particularly that Elias segment, but they did do this part correctly at least.
