Yep, +1 for the 2 day event. An even bigger fuck you to those leeching off it, would be making the Andre Battle Royale a 3 ring invitational that features pretty much anyone and everyone. I'd lose my shit for a final two of Hillbilly Jim and Jervis Cottonbelly.

To clarify earlier statement - I don't think the finish to Brock/Reigns will be as undefinitive as a surprise roll-up, I think we're definitely getting superman punch, spear, 1-2-3, but I think the story told will factor in Brock's hubris as it seems to in most of his matches.

It's difficult because they've begun to tell a story in NXT about her hubris being her undoing, and nearly costing her matches. I feel like that ties in well to a nice call back to Flair/Vader with a fluke roll-up after being over confident, perhaps with Asuka destroying her after. Problem being is I think that'll be the story they'll tell with Reigns/Lesnar.

So who plays "Woken" Cousin Oliver Hardy?

In doing that, aren't you ending up with a bigger problem in who gives Rousey her first loss? By the same logic - you can have Charlotte go over Asuka, and if Asuka is still getting reactions in a few months, redeem herself by handing Rousey her first loss? I feel like WWE would want the publicity that surrounds Rousey's first loss to display some sort of legitimacy (Asuka tapping her out) rather than some southern fried hokeyness the usual sports shows can beat them over the head with (Flair winning with a chop block, a handful of tights and feet on the rope).

Think given the timing limitations, better to do an injury angle that takes them off the card completely. With Asuka/Flair, you kinda have to do Jax/Bliss, but think you have to keep Jax heel (have Stephanie feed Ronda to her as punishment after Mania) and also title free for the aforementioned to occur without Rousey ending up with the title. I'd love to see Sasha challenge Bayley, get thrown through a plate glass window and then Bayley destroy Bliss in under 2 minutes at Mania. Leaves you plenty of options if that were to occur.

I wonder if Asuka is more KENTA than Nakamura at this point. That the value they see in her is the heat they can transfer to whomever ends the streak, and treat this moreso as a learning experience for when they eventually call up a much younger and more fluent in English, Kairi Sane.

At this point - you'd have to say it's the right move to put Charlotte over, if for no other reason than you can't see them maintaining any momentum with her to lose for the first time meaningfully at say Summerslam, or even Mania next year. I'd also argue there's suddenly better mileage in Charlotte/Rousey than there is Asuka/Rousey.

Reflection of realizing debating the merits of Randy Orton's appearance was an air bill I didn't want to pay.

At least you're consistent.

Please don't virtue signal. Please don't put words in my mouth. I said it's becoming noticeable. Perhaps I could have elaborated more on this - between that and her being hung out to dry with her promo on Raw a few weeks back, I wonder how long it is before Vince/Dunn lose interest and she becomes just another person on the roster.

Felt like that Orton/Roode match traded off a lot of goodwill towards Roode and not much else. Crowd were into it with the prospect of Roode going over, but by god two guys trading very....methodical....identical.....movesets......was.....tedious. At a guess, Roode pins Jinder at Mania, then beats Orton at whatever PPV is next. Orton growing out his hair, wearing the vintage 2003 era trunks and not bothering to tan as much makes him look super indy-riffic. Everything else was inoffensive with a touch of phoned in. Asuka's gut is getting noticeable.

Daniel Stern?

On one hand, racist as fuck. On the other, well, if it sees Papa Shango in New Orleans......

That new New Day shirt. Wow.

That's not a Randy Savage compilation, it's a best of John Nord.

Would have been curious to see how the Gonzalez/Hogan program that was teased in late 93 before Hogan left had gone down. Or at moreso where it leaves Taker...

On one hand, if we get one good season out of Smith, I don't mind the $15 mill and saving $36m on Watkins, and can tolerate a 32 year old WR still making bank in two years time. On the other, losing Worley, and probably not in the market for Sherman, with all the other shit happening to our defense, lot to be concerned about.

Dude, someone brought up Goosebumps and we're on Jason films? Nah uh.

Yeah, OK, curious as to how a Flair/Steamboat super-imposed porn clip plays out.

"Oh boy, Br...." *staple gun to the head*

I feel like he's angling for a guest spot on This Is Us?

Monsoon airplane spins all twelve of them, but the Gangstas run in, thus causing the realization we never got a New Jack-Gorilla Monsoon feud in SMW, and life suddenly seems futile.
