Dumbest thing I've read yet.

Yeah, let's leave one of the more over guys on the RAW roster out of the match just because you don't like him. Excellent.

Maryse is due to give birth either the day before or the day of WrestleMania supposedly.

Their first match was at Clash of Champions 2017, so the promos would be in the December 2017 timeframe since Mojo didn't turn heel until the 28th of November.

Kanye was the executive producer for "No Dope on Sundays" by Cyhi the Prynce, which isn't exactly "mainstream rap". Not the same thing, but knowing Kanye, he probably had his fingers in just about everything on that album (instead of just overseeing the project) because he's a perfectionist and it was released on his label.

It probably is, but from what I've seen on Twitter, people are outraged because: 1) It's Breitbart and 2) They're linking to a website that promotes extremely bigoted and racist material, and the common complaint among the Twitter fans seems to be "but yet you fired Hogan for saying the "N" word". So, hypocrisy at it's finest, but it's entirely possible that whoever runs the WWE PR Twitter just doesn't give a fuck and hopes no one high up notices or cares. It's not a "verified" Twitter account anyway, so...

Winter Soldier, to me, is separate from Bucky Barnes. Which it seems like they've killed that assassin side of Bucky, but who knows what the future holds.

No, yeah, I got that. I just think they'd get a bigger reaction from Sasha turning heel on Bayley in San Jose rather than Bayley turning heel on Sasha in San Jose. But, this is WWE, so it's entirely possible you're right.

I'll make a no stakes bet against that thought. If anyone turns, it'll be Sasha.

Yeah, I mean, I foresee a bunch of nobodies on Twitter making a fuss about it, maybe some posts on Reddit and the like. This won't amount to anything, though. If Vince's sexual misconduct stuff that reappeared before the Rumble this year didn't get them bad PR, if Linda heading up the U.S. SBA didn't, then a WWE twitter account posting a link to a Breitbart article will cause the smallest of ripples out of everything.

I could see absolutely nobody caring about this.

Also, since it wasn't addressed and it was in the original question - Helmut Zero was arrested, and T'Challa handed him over to Everett Ross.

Hammer was funding Whiplash's vendetta for a little bit, so I'd put them as: "A" Villain - Whiplash "B" Villain - Justin Hammer. One is more central to the plot, but I think you need both in order to make all of that work. Have you not seen the All Hail the King one-shot? Trevor is broke out of prison by a lackey of The Mandarin. The real one is never shown, though, only referenced. Couple that with the fact that a representative of the Ten Rings tried to buy the Yellowjacket suit in Ant-Man, and they could easily go for a true bookender to the Iron Man character if Stark survives the next two Avengers movies and he/Marvel wants to do a fourth and final film. Oh, and to continue the discussion of MCU villains that aren't dead - Batroc was arrested, so he's at least alive but not active. Keeping the Captain America theme, one could also argue that the Red Skull isn't dead, because he was just sucked into a portal by the Tesseract. Re-watching that scene back, it's clear he wasn't killed and just transported into one of the other nine realms. EDIT: Since the Batroc arrest happened in Winter Soldier, and it was revealed that SHIELD = HYDRA, it's entirely possible that Batroc's arrest and interrogation was just a ruse and he's since been "freed" and is out there, somewhere. The chances of GSP's Batroc being the main villain for any future Cap movies (or any MCU movies) is close to 0%, but still. There's a lot more "alive" villains in the MCU than there are dead.

I'd be more psyched if it was Madlib producing a new MF DOOM album, instead of Madlib working with Mos Def & Talib Kweli and DOOM working with Czarface. Never been super into Mos Def & Kweli, individually or together, especially since I saw them live a few years ago and they were TRASH. It's really not my type of hip-hop, but who knows, I'll give it a listen when it comes out and we'll see what happens. What excites me more about Black Star is that they've been photographed with Kanye recently, and Kanye producing other people's stuff is always a good time. Speaking of Kanye - WHERE'S THE NEW ALBUM, FAM?!?

I'm still waiting for @RIPPA to tell us why the Bayley/Elias versus Cena/Nikki match is interesting.

I think the local news are interviewing the candidates separately, so don't give up hope just yet.

There are no debates

The Mandarin is still alive and active.

I've never watched Queer Eye before, but this revival on Netflix is pretty fuckin' great. About to finish episode 3 and they've all been really good, varying degrees of sweetness.

Even pre-rape allegation Enzo was pretty hated. Look no further than the constant bitching in the 205 Live thread.

"Bayley needs to turn heel" is the new "Cena needs to turn heel".

Bayley & Elias' match is this coming Tuesday, though. So I doubt they'd schedule them a match at MSG with Cena & Nikki a month away just to give them practice. I mean, why aren't Balor & Banks, Asuka & Miz, etc. getting matches on the house shows together to practice being a team for a few more weeks? I also don't think it suggests they're winning the tournament, because Elias & Bayley (if they win against Rusev & Lana) will be facing off against either Nia Jax & Apollo Crews or Bobby Roode & Charlotte a few days before the match with Cena & Nikki. FWIW, the Mixed Match Challenge Finals will be after the go-home WM Smackdown show. I think, if anything, it suggests Cena & Elias are going to be working together for a few more months.

Speaking of Black Label Pro...

I'd imagine it's because Mysterio has been doing is thing on the independents for close to 3 years now, whereas Jericho was a regular on WWE television for all of 2016 and a little less than half of 2017 (and on WWE TV 4 months prior to appearing in that pre-taped video).
