How would ya’ll feel if Retribution was a vehicle for CM Punk’s return?

I like Punk but I don’t know how i’d feel. He was always kinda sloppy and he’s getting up there in age. It might save the angle for some though he still has a lot of fans.

To be honest if NXT moves to another night it would get me to watch more regularly, but still only for their women's division because the men's division has never been more bleak. Like how did a brand that made Bo Dallas work, become unable to make the talent they have now work. It can't be all Vince loving it up because it was on the decline before AEW got TV as far as I can remember. I haven't been interested much in the men's division of NXT since Andrade went to the main roster.

Where was that story going if Benoit hadn't happened?

Legend has it Vince's funeral was planned for RAW, with his brother Rod even showing up. Vince would be gone for a while and return as a babyface as a hobo with an army of other hobos to take back the WWE. In some other timeline this happened, and to be honest it's probably a better a timeline than the one we're stuck in.

WWE must pay well for Drake to want to work for them so badly when his only non 205 angles involve pissing his pants and failing to have sex with his new wife for like two years

I rewatched that recently and what's sadder is the fake pee contraption failed so he had to really pee and was only able to dribble out a very small amount of piss while 4 grown men stair at his crotch disgusted.

Also remember when Stone Cold peed on someone and the fake piss looked like the poo poo from the Mimosa Mayhem, just like deathbed piss.

I was always really surprised when any signed WWE guy had a shirt on there, I wonder if WWE just didn't know about it at all for a while it seemed like they were using guys putting shirts on there for their storylines like when Owens was kayfabe fired or something and started selling Steen shirts

Enjoyed Smackdown. Alexa/Nikki and the Fiend is a cool storyline. I hope it ends with the power of friendship saving Alexa from the Fiend. Heel Roman is great and the storyline with Jey is pretty cool thus far. Otis and Morrison was solid, Vader Bomb is a great finish for Otis.

I like where Bayley and Sasha is going to, could be a good feud for Hell in a Cell.

This heel Roman stuff feels like it’s written by a bitter smark from 2015/2016. “Roman always sleeps through his matches and is so lazy that he’ll only show up for the finish.”

it tracks with WWE’s history of always being 5 years behind the times. Kind of like how all major musicals are 10 years behind the times and Christian music is 20 years behind the times.

Why did they have to rename submission sorority, or end the welcoming committee?

Or more honestly, break up deuce, domino and cherry? There was absolutely no chance of any of them having breakout singles success because they were a gimmick trio

Submission Sorority has for many years been the name of a porn site where "Lesbians" force "straight" girls into sex acts. It was a popular enough porn site that Paige knew and tried to get the name changed but the line to speak to Vince was too long and the writers she told did not listen to her. After their debut people online called it out and it changed.

I know this will be unpopular here to even say but it's baffling to me how WWE can have such a good show in Smackdown and such a terrible show in RAW with the same loving guy writing it. For me the best show on tv weekly alternates between Smackdown and Dynamite but RAW is always the worst, below NXT, below IMPACT, even below Dark.

Why the gently caress is Dominik fighting Seth again? Imagine if Cena had 30 matches with Angle after that first one where he debuted, we wouldn't even be talking about Cena right now because he'd be selling insurance somewhere, he'd never have made it. It's like they've just given up on the RAW brand entirely.
