Maybe Vince saw Dynamite make the Top 100 TV Guide shows and thought "stagnant storytelling? I'll cram a story into one episode, how's THAT for stagnant?!?"

Meanwhile we still don't know how the Hangman/Elite break-up is going to shake out after six months and counting.

When I mentioned to my wife that WWE was forcing their superstars to stop third-party streaming, my 15-year old daughter burst out of her room, stormed downstairs, and proclaimed to both of us "that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!"

I am not making this up.

Maybe there is hope for the future.

cant wait for another 50 years when the only decent places to live with breathable air and foliage are inside of a megacorporation's arcology



With an all-controlling, all-seeing AI who eventually shut down all outside access so they could have complete internal control over everyone still trapped inside.

One of my favorite Shadowrun plots of all time.

i... might have enough free time to work this out today. is this assuming the lineal title changes hands on any fall?

e: by that i mean, if (say) ambrose gets the final fall in an ironman match but loses, is he lineal champion?

I would say whoever is champion at the end is the lineal champion. Getting the final fall is like scoring a late TD but still losing.

I just watched Re-Animator and the director of the film said there was a lot of stuff in the script that was cut before filming because "they explained things that didn't need explaining."

Vince seems to be either the opposite ("we need to justify this! Wild card rule! Once a quarter!") or its anti-thesis ("Retribution? They're pissed off and probably black!").

Apparently tonight isn't just RAW, it's RAW: IN YOUR FACE!

And it's gonna get slaughtered by football. New York's the #1 media market in the country and the Steelers probably have the biggest fanbase outside of their home city. Pittsburgh's a great place to grow up but everyone tries to get out of there as fast as possible.

(says the guy who, in his mid-40s, is kind of missing it)

Now compare this to the simplicity of Sue flipping the bird at the end of Dynamite and the response from the announcers being nothing more than laughter.

Next week's Monday Night Football game is the Chiefs (defending champs) vs. the Ravens, two top-tier teams with dynamic quarterbacks and rabid fanbases.

Based on how crappy last night's show was, I'm going to predict that RAW's going have a record-breakingly bad night next week. That gentle slope of downward ratings is about to plunge off a cliff.

Our next theme will be done by Mario and our theme for whatever the PPV after that will be Braid My Hair. Come get some, ya locusts!

Jesus Christ, I just heard that song LAST night for the first time in decades, and now it comes up in wrestling chat.

What do you call it when you start seeing something that's always been there? Like, you buy a red Ford Focus and all of a sudden red Ford Focuses are everywhere?

Jey was mad that he was always in Roman's shadow, Roman wanted to remind him of why he will always be in Roman's shadow

it's a fine story, even pretty good by WWE standards, I just didn't love it being conveyed in a slow plodding match with too much talking like they combined all the promo and wrestling parts into one 20 minute segment, I didn't hate it but I really think it could've been better, definitely worked to make roman look like a dominant rear end in a top hat heel though

They probably saw all the emotion conveyed in a variety of AEW matches and figured "let's do that," but forgot that the climax of those feuds were MATCHES, not matches merged with promos/corporate speak. P&P/Best Friends didn't stop for two minutes in their parking lot brawl to jawjack.

How about, and hear me out here, Sami gets the gimmick of having so many concussions that he becomes brain damaged and is a special needs sports entertainer from now on... unless he hears a trumpet, which triggers something inside him and he dons the El Generico mask and becomes super-capable in the ring.
