Hooker

I was thinking that Liv cashing in is kinda weird because the male winner wouldn't have the same opportunity, and then realized Roman just wasn't defending either belt. So I looked it up. WrestleMania was three months ago as of Sunday. Since then, the entirety of Roman's televised matches has been a six man tag at Backlash and a defense against Riddle on SmackDown. The last two PPVs (is that what they're still called?) has had neither of the top titles defended at all, and without comment. Not counting house shows (which Roman hasn't done for a month now anyway), there's been one defense of the titles at all in the past three months.

I don't feel any sympathy for someone trying to charge women $50 a year to post on a message board.

Did Vince watch The Producers recently?

Drew owes Erick $20.

Super useful hostile crowd reactions? How's that working out?

That Brock section of the Rumble was indistinguishable from watching someone else play the Rumble on a video game. It was worse than that time Big Show and Kane just unceremoniously started dumping guys out. Even if you think it was important for Lesner to run through guys, that was the least interesting way of doing it.

Is Executive Director higher or lower than Constable of RAW? The show has been the exact same kind of awful for 20 years now. Vince and Kevin Dunn are the only constants during that time. Blaming someone else is dumb.

It's a really mixed message to have insincere heel Bliss do this in the same format as her "Nia once slapped food out of someone's hands and then picked it up and ate it" series of fat-shaming clips.

Somebody Should Do Something! with Michael Cole

Didn't you see Kurt after their match? He did.

In that case, fuck him.

Is that five years at $300k per year, or $300k over the five years ($60k per)? Because $60k a year, as an independent contractor, that has to pay for their own travel when they travel 100-200 times a year, all hotels, all meals, and whatever the insane health insurance premiums a professional wrestler has to cover, is some fuckin' bullshit right there.

I was running on entertainment fumes from the Monday Night Wars until 2003. I was getting progressively more and more exhausted and fed up with the show, but felt that I had watched for this long and I probably should just keep it going. Then, literally the moment Hogan came out as Mr. America, I turned the TV off and stopped watching WWE outside of individual matches I heard were good until 2009, which I only started watching again at that point because of how awful it is and I have some friends I do Mystery Science Theater 3000-style viewings of bad movies and the WWE shows fit into that quite well. I probably still wouldn't be watching to this day otherwise.

Are you sure? Did the woman have a Russian accent?
