    Come on, man.  That's a really disingenuous "HAHA GOTCHA" point you're throwing out there.  I seriously doubt the two minutes it takes for the Librarians to do a dumb skit or get squashed would better benefit a guy they have real plans for, like Sabian. 

    That's like pointing out an 80s episode of WWF Superstars "giving time" to Dusty Wolf or Ricky Ataki while Randy Savage isn't on that week.  Like yeah, that's technically correct, but it makes no real point.

    You think everything I say is disingenuous. I'm not going to ignore flaws in AEW's presentation because they're a WWE alternative. I'm not trying to "ha ha get" anything except a better wrestling show. Also Dusty Wolfe didn't have a gimmick and mic time IIRC.

    I wouldn't put Orton down as an all-timer. He's more HHH-level, in the sense that he's better than he generally gets credit for and works smarter than average for WWE style. Given the length of his career and level of exposure, he's been in his share of classics, but the haters have plenty of ammo too.


    Do they? Most of the issues people have with Orton seem to be based on things other than his ringwork.

    she's a heel the panders to the crowd like a face


    This is the most annoying part about Emi for sure. I'm not big on cosplay in wrestling in general, but it damn sure shouldn't be a heel doing it.

    I had no idea Dio Maddin was a wrestler.

    Not making that up.  I literally had no clue what the guy's background was.

    You have a good excuse - he's only wrestled on TV once, to job to Raul Mendoza on NXT. He'd also been languishing at the PC and on the Florida loop for three years prior, so I'm not sure going back to being a wrestler is going to work out for him.

    Are the Usos injured/in the doghouse? I can't remember the last time I saw them on tv.

    Presumably still in trouble for their refusal to stop getting drunk and running into the police.

    I once shook Low-Ki's hand at a training seminar and he squoze the shit out of mine and everybody else's in the group, which I guess in his mind was some kind of old school respect ritual or whatever.

     

    I won't speculate about his motives, but that's the opposite of the old-school working handshake.

    Ryan Satin felt the need to state that he was not employed by WWE but FOX only. It dont care either way whether or not he's employed by WWE but I see tons of people giving him shit for softening up on WWE in the past few months. What's does he have to prove to these sharks on Wrestling Twitter when he is nicely employed my bc one of the top tv networks. He may not the a WWE employee but he's assigned to a show that is closely associated with the WWE. What should people expect and why should he care what these guys this.


    There are people that will accept nothing less than him actively trying to destroy the company.

    No Way Jose Vs Alexander Wolfe: Okay, I'm not having this No Way Joe nonsense. Stupid name, stupid gimmick, and the guy doesn't look any great shakes in the ring. He gets the crowd into this though, to be fair. But talk about a limited shelf life and a low ceiling.


    Somehow he's still jerking the curtain on the main roster almost 4 years later despite doing basically nothing, but I do remember enjoying the hell out of the one Takeover match they give him - which is, I believe, the next one you'll see. I think if they de-emphasized the gimmick and let him work instead of doing comedy spots, he'd have a lot more to show in the ring.

  8. Bray is fine. It's the booking that sucks.

    The horror movie stuff was terrible when Kane did it and it's terrible now. When your babyfaces are made to look like they fear for their lives just because Bray Wyatt put a mask on and gave them the mandible claw, they are completely neutered. The fuck finish at HiaC was a horrible attempt at overcorrecting that.

    Unpopular opinion time:

    Michael Cole isn't a bad announcer. He just calls matches how Vince likes them to be. I felt his commentary for Bryan/Orton/Batista and Team Cena/ Team HHH in 2014 are good examples of him actually selling the match well. 


    Cole's fantastic and fuck anyone who says otherwise.

  10. If a "no making fun of anyone on Twitter" rule is instituted, the entire roster gets fired except maybe Mustafa Ali, so maybe something a little bit less knee-jerk and a little bit more realistic?

    Also - I think you can all refrain from personally attacking people whose outrage levels don't match your own.
