I don’t understand why they didn’t just gimmick the pods and have Shayna break through them to destroy the ladies. It would’ve made the pacing quicker and end it faster.

Or they could have had Shayna demand the ref open the pods because why not?

Or they could have had Shayne enter AFTER Liv so they followed up on that storyline and then it’s only a small delay after Shayne eliminates everyone and while Asuka freaks out.

But WWE has one real good skill and it’s intentionally antagonizing it’s audience.

The mania match is going to be worst than this. Becky can't carry a match and who the gently caress logically wins now that Baszler is basically Brock but without the ability?

Match would have been better if the entire time Shayna was in the chamber she was singing "I am Shayna Baszler, I am Shayna Baszler" to the rhythm of "I am evil Homer, I am evil Homer"

I'd much rather they had a Universe title chamber match with Roman than that Women's title one. They could have done a Shayna vs Becky match and had like Shayna get DQ'd for choking Becky out when she went for the ropes or something lmao

THREE TIME! THREE TIME!
Remember when they changed their minds on Shayna winning the Royal Rumble at the last second, even though Becky/Shayna was their plan, and then they had Charlotte win so she could go down to challenge for the developmental Title for some reason and then they basically started the Becky/Shayna feud by having Shayna BITE her and then they booked this predictable Elimination Chamber match and did it like this? Oh, and also they built up a Riott Squad feud as some sort of secondary angle within the Chamber, even though they did absolutely NOTHING with it.? Oh, and also they canceled another men's Elimination Chamber match because the outcome was predictable and instead replaced THAT with Roman saying "give me the Title shot" and he just got it?

lol Not only are all of WWE's booking decisions so stunningly incompetent, they're incompetent in ways that somehow perfectly complement and highlight how incompetent their other decisions are. It's almost beautiful in its craptacularity.

Shayna's always had the sleeper hold/kirafuda clutch as her finisher but she used to have a better or cooler set up like a faux suplex

I don't know how you could look at that women's Chamber lineup and expect anything other than Shayna Slaughter Time. It would've been nice if Asuka had gotten more in but otherwise that was exactly how it should've gone. Liv Morgan is not supposed to be a challenge for Shayna.

Right story to tell, but it looked pretty bad.

It makes me wonder if the plan was to do this same basic thing at the Rumble and someone realized that doing the same story with Brock and Shayna in both Rumbles would be a disaster.

I wouldn't even call Roman winning a chamber as obvious compared to this one where they had a feud already set up. They could have had Fiend in the Chamber and have everyone target him or something and go through all the pods or trown off the pods. It would have been better than already feuding Shayna sleep walking her way through eliminating everyone else one by one.

Problem is it makes everyone in the division except for Shayna and Becky look absolutely terrible. Especially for someone like Shayna who isn't going to put butts into seats. Her style kills audiences or she gets go-away heat.

Someone on Facebook that I know is pretty much saying she's the women's version of Baron Corbin, and I can't really argue with that.

I don't even think Shayna tearing through the other four women in the match outside of Asuka is even bad booking. Frankly, there's even a nugget of GOOD booking if you want her to look like a monster. It was just done in such a stupid way. Why was it the main event of an already lazily booked show? Why did they leave so much downtime in the middle part of the match?

If they would have booked this earlier in the show and actually done a main event caliber men's Chamber, it would immediately alleviate half of the problems. It's not like that stupid Tag Chamber even needed to happen.

Like Darkstar said, Kairi lasted a lot longer in a singles match than anyone in the chamber including Asuka. Asuka spent the whole match yelling and screaming and I think Shayna vs Asuka lasted like 5 minutes at most

The only thing not up to snuff from other browsers so far is that Adblockers don't get rid inlayed advertisements like YouTube, Twitch, Reddit, etc even with the AdBlock Plus addon, but I'm sure that's something you can fine tune.

I've got a 3 year old Gaming laptop which has always had more than enough resources for an internet browser but Chrome and Firefox have so many memory leaks I have to close them out every two or so hours.

That's cool if Chrome apps work on it. I don't use a lot but there's a couple I'd like to keep on.

Thank you again. The overheating thing was genuinely getting to be an issue so hopefully this helps.

I can run a couple tabs + the HD video overlay and it still takes up under 6% of my processor compared to using Chrome or Firefox which would eat up almost all of it. It's still missing a lot of general functionality of older browsers but once you learn how to start stacking tabs you're never going to want to go back

Have you tried Ublock Origin with it? That usually catches everything that other blockers don't, including Twitch ads (which nothing else seems to stop these days)

Not a great sign with how green Shayna looked, which is also weird since she was generally solid in NXT. Becky is going to have a tough job.

They managed to smoke and mirror a lot of Shayna's matches in NXT with lovely interference spots or them going under 12 minutes for the most part.
