    All kidding aside, didn't Brock reportedly turn down flat a Shane match a few years ago? After the match where he bludgeoned Orton?

    I think that was plan “a” for the year that ended up being taker/Shane...

    It was nice to see the crowd happy for the Becky hot tag, but I think she’s really been struggling with this different ‘athletic’ moveset she’s been doing post-Mania, from her perpetually awkward top-rope clothesline/dropkick to the weakly executed ‘ManHandle Slam’ tonight.  It’s not playing to her strengths.

    Plus it’s frustrating seeing the women only getting one segment or match each Raw when they have so much time to waste on Shane McMahon and other filler. 

    Yeah, she’s a good athlete, but for whatever reason she flies like a coke machine. Just looks awkward whenever she jumps from the corner...

    She did that on purpose because she’s that good! A poster here told me that.

     

    but yeah, weird-ass tattoo, which is different than a weird ass tattoo, which I also hopes she instas if she gets one...

    I can’t help but resurrect the old “why doesn’t WWE just let people cut promos” talking point. Moxley can do that, he could always do that, and WWE signed the dude largely because he COULD do that. So why didn’t they just tell the guy to cut a promo and get out of the way? 

    Just crazy.  

    The short answer is that they didnt understand what they had, either from ignorance or because they didn’t want to. They’re completely content to let Seth Rollins drone on for segments at a time, tailspinning ratings, but send a fiery, intense performer to go cut the type promos that have spurred the greatest boon periods in the businesses history? Nah. Let’s send him to the ring in a fucking gas mask.

    Omega fought back, and brawled with him toe-to-toe. It took Moxley awhile to finally put him away. Just from the visual of the heated brawl it gave Omega a different, and personal goal, now that he can’t be the first champion. The goal now being to get revenge on the man who viciously attacked him on a very special night for him. Like the attack totally overshadowed his loss. He’ll even have his own Cody Vs. Dustin moment(In the heated battle way, and not the family emotional way) at the next big show, and AEW will have another big match worthy enough to advertise on the PPV bill.

    I’m not sure id have run that angle straight away. Moxley vs. Omega. Neither guy needs to lose immediately. 

  6. I like Dolph. He’s not my favorite, but I think he’s talented. He’s just stale. And he’s been stale. They had a chance to revitalize him when he had that survivor series moment, but they did nothing. I think he can help the team when motivated, he just never is.

    I’ll cop to being the one that brought her up originally. I said I thought that Bayley’s win felt in some ways like a middle finger to Sasha from the office, and I still feel that way. I didn’t say shit about Sasha having boo boo face. This time. But I could not be happier for Bayley. I always like it when people who seem genuinely good succeed. I thought Dana looked like she belonged tonight, and that makes me happy for her, too.

  8. The Bayley win/cash in kinda felt like a big middle finger to Sasha, which made me love it even more, but I’m happy for her. She’s been bringing her working boots since January and she was as over tonight as she’s been since her main roster debut. 

     

    I thought all the women in the ladder match worked really hard. Not hitch free, but cleaner than I was expecting. If holding Alexa out was precautionary, I get it. There were a couple spots in there where I was like “yeah, she’d have gotten hurt there.”

     

    Seth Rollins just does nothing for me. His matches. His promos. His attempts at babyface fire. Just bland. What sucks is Brock is gonna cash in on Kofi to help Smackdown on its way to Fox, and the champ that needs replacing will still be there. The SegmentSlayer.

     

    no complaints about the rest. Brock coming back was dumb, but we had six weeks to prove to Vince we’d watch the show with a full time champ, and we didn’t, so here comes Brock...

  9. I thiought that was the most entertaining the Revival’s ever been. One 5 minute women’s segment is a bad look. Thought the Miz/Shane thing was shot well. Seth Rollins is boring. He’s not a star, even though they so desperately want him to be. Samoa Joe is awesome.

  10. The 8% thing makes me sad. I read somewhere not long ago that Bayley lives in a one bedroom apt. in a bit great area of Tampa with 5 locks on the door. If it’s because she’s just not into spending tons of money, good on her, but if she’s not making enough performing 200+ times a year to live somewhere decent, then that’s bullshit.

     

    what makes me even sadder is the lack of recourse these folks, particularly active roster non-legend types, seem to have. Your only course of action would be getting everyone booked on a major ppv to refuse to perform without renegotiated deals. Even then, you’re as likely to see a completely new roster the next night as you are to see any change. Plus, if you’re Zack Ryder or Dana Brooke, and there’s rumors of a mass walkout, and then you’re pulled into Vince’s office and given the “hey pal, how’d you like to be in the main event?” Is it more likely that you take the $, or opt for solidarity with a roster full of folks who’d do the same to you that you’re considering doing to them?

    Are we sure he’s not staring in a WWE production of Varsity Blues 2?  The plot is this:  Jonathan “Mox” Moxson’s Football career flamed out and is now a bounty hunter.  His high school buddy Tweeder escapes from jail, and Mox is the only one with the skills and knowledge to help the FBI (played by the Revival) track him down.  This scenario seems much more plausible 

    VBII; Mox on the Run? I’d watch the shit out of that....

    I didn't know that.  This is honestly the first time I've ever seen it mentioned.

    Yeah, I put the blame partially on TNA for that.  At the time, it was all over these online news places that WWE issued an edict that any talent going to the TNA show (apparently they were both doing shows in the same town) would be punished.  And Highlander #2 went to visit some friends, and fucking TNA showed him on camera, announcers called him out and everything.  Gone afterwards.  And if I recall, he was even trying to shield his face from any cameras when he was shown.

    He/she was being sarcastic. Ambrose and Reigns are super close. Just taking the piss out of the conspiracy theorists.

  13. As unlikable as Bischoff & Conrad normally come off together, the Collision in Korea episode is legitimately fascinating. I tend to believe Eric more the further away he is from defending Hogan or any inexplicably shitty decision he made during his tenure, and his recollection of the trip to Pyongyang is fairly riveting stuff...
