I had a friend ask me if anyone from GLOW would be in the Rumble.
If yet another main roster woman had gotten hurt we might've seen Ivory in it. Would actual GLOW have counted?

The Sharks?
And how many Sharks are in the MLBHOF? That's right...

It's really a bit disgusting how people are so sold on the "I had consensual sex that I'm now regretting and/or trying to exploit" narrative that abusers use to gaslight their victims that that really seems like something an actual human being is more likely to do rather than try to downplay a traumatic experience in the immediate aftermath.

Yeah denying Enzo wasn't this charismatic juggernaut hardly seen since the heyday of the attitude era is plain dumb
Not sure I'd go THAT far...

Enzo made the most of his spot and got it over, but it only seemed novel because of the way most of the roster is presented now.
Disregarding that he's not good in the ring and is apparently a wretched person, I'm still not convinced that this was a lightning in a bottle scenario.
I entirely agree that there have been any number of talents who can be more charismatic then they've shown. Think of pre-New Day Big E.
But the relative infrequency of such who've been able to thrive in WWE's overly-scripted main roster can't be ignored.

I guess a part of it is that Enzo was one of the most over wrestlers to come out of NXT/performance center that wasn't a name somewhere else first. He was an affirmation that the new feeder system was working.
But he wasn't special. They have a team of writers and dozens of wrestlers. Just give any one of them some shit to say in repetition to the crowd and they'll get it over. It's like they don't remember in their beloved Attitude Era when everyone got their shit in on the mics before matches and even if they're matches were shit they were way over.
Let's not start spouting nonsense just because we (justifiably) don't like Enzo. He was a big, unique personality whose mouth got him and his big buddy over in spite of some pretty massive shortcomings. He moved merch, most of which was hilariously ugly, because of that.
He is also a terrible wrestler and a worse human being, and he's obviously not indispensable.

Who were they getting over, though? Kalisto? Hideo? Really the guy that's gotten over has been Gulak.

Oh God I'm cracking up. Did anyone else hear Chioda clearly and audibly tell Miz "Asuka's going over" like thirty seconds before the finish?
-
...why are they taking that one shot in a shower stall?

I'm just going to go out on a limb and guess that the replies to WWE's tweet are going to be truly awful and disgusting.
which is basically the same as any other tweet on the subject, just with more SAWFT puns.

The one I posted got yanked and they re-uploaded it. The cynic in me immediately wonders who got edited out of the first one.
The new version had Punk and Chyna, so I can only guess Benoit.

Literally my thought on seeing this "Wait, RSPW still exists?"

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
Vince isn't a covert Klansman, he's an overt out-of-touch crazy old man who wasn't that sane even when he wasn't that old.

Thank God Braun left the inside of the production truck alone so Kevin Dunn could make six jump cuts in two seconds when he was flipping the cab

I played Rogue on PS3. Don't really feel any need to play it on PS4.
Origins was solid. Not as good as Syndicate, but a very good addition to the series.
-
...Corbin and Tamina were in this?

Why would they have a goddamn GRAPPLING HOOK lying around? Good thing fucking Batman is their equipment supplier, apparently, or Braun would have looked super ridiculous opening up the case and seeing some random signage or camera equipment in there.

She did put her hair up mid-match and tell Sasha to square up, but I hope they don't change her around too much. She's been one of my favorites lately.
That was so awkward. Like, why are you, the serious, no-nonsense ass-kicker, screwing around with your hair mid-match?

Deeb, Phoenix, and the Bellas?

So the person who "hadn't been in the ring in years" was someone who wrestled in WWE last summer....

So it appears they are going to finally air that Straight to the Source with Enzo that they have teased for like a month.
Based on the clip they uploaded - Enzo appears to have done the interview in character (well you know what I mean since clearly the WWE character is just Enzo turned up) which is different than the first one with Reigns.
Corey Graves looks less than pleased to be there
Jesus, they haven't gone that far out of their way to make someone look like a genuinely horrible person since The Rise and Fall of the Ultimate Warrior.

Looks like the voting is at least starting out legit. Joe with 60% of the vote at the time of this post.
