Rusev being split from Lana seems like another nail in the coffin. There is a part of me that would love for him to ask for his release and tear up the indies and Japan, but I figure he will just be a body in the midcard muck again.

She joined him on Smackdown. 

[RIPPA]

 

[PetrolCB]

Good for them. Of course they were split up because WWE. Assholes. 

[RIPPA]

To be fair - Renee doesn't go the road except for TV so it isn't as bad as say Cass & Carmella who they actively appear to be trying to breaking them up

 

[PetrolCB]

That's true. Still though. 

**edit**

Apparently they married in October, per some creep on Twitter who looked up the county marriage records. 

[RIPPA]

And thus why folks like Renee and Sasha and Bayley try and keep their marriages secret

As I've mentioned before, I avoid Twitter like the plague, people doing what amounts to doxing need to have a visit from the beatdown bus. (Phil, that thing still run? Just checking.) What kind of scumbag has both the time and malice to do shit like that? 

[PetrolCB]

Easy answer? Psychopaths.

The same people who wish bodily harm to Roman Reigns'  RL wife/children because they hate the character, and want Nia Jax/Dana Brooke to get seriously injured so they won't be on TV. In case we haven't noticed, there are some sick bastards among the wrestling fanbase.  That's true with life in general, but wrestling seems to attract a special kind of sicko.

And here I thought that at least Miz moving to Raw meant we wouldn't get HumanChessgam e and Nice Guy Eddie doing the same tired "fuhfuhfuhwedontliketheMizfuhfuhfuh" routine in the SDL thread every week...

I honestly don't see Alexa as a big loss. She can talk, but she still hasn't improved enough in the ring. I can see the Raw crew helping her more there, and I still see her getting a decent bit of mic time even if we won't get anything as wonderful as Bryan constantly needling her.

Yea I enjoy Alexa with the character stuff but she's still coming into her own in-ring wise. I really hope they go with a Bliss/Jax duo as they would balance one another out well.

As much as Charlotte needed a change of pace, I'm not here for the Charlotte Show with very special guest stars. The Smackdown Six (or what's left of them with Alexa gone) really worked to get themselves and their division over and deserve better. 

[OSJ]

Trust me, I'm old enough to remember firsthand the old ECW and then XPW fanbase, Emmett Gulley (the dude that went to prison for making death threats to a family that had complained about how lame WCW had become. (What a hill to die on).  Oh yeah, there's tons more, I used to get death threats for being an ass on RSPW, so of course that just pushed me to new heights... ;-) You're quite right, we draw a diverse and colorful bunch, and probably a good 5% need to be on an island somewhere.

[RIPPA]

I am catching up on Talking Smack now and I do like that they did address right away with Renee about Dean moving and Renee joking "Which one of you (between Shane and Bryan) do I need to be mad at?"

I greatly look forward to Nakamura/Styles and Nakamura/Owens programs. Also they really should revisit Nakamura/Zayn at least for a one off.

Speaking of Zayn...can he just use his fucking gorgeous Blue Thunder as his finish or at least secondary finish. It's too good to be his "only gets a 2 count" move.

Charlotte needed a new territory desperately since they hot shotted the hell out of ever match-up/title change on RAW to an insane degree. Hopefully once she wins the Smackdown title they will give her a long reign and either Becky or Naomi can have a chase that is properly built and payed off.

Rusev being split from Lana seems like another nail in the coffin. There is a part of me that would love for him to ask for his release and tear up the indies and Japan, but I figure he will just be a body in the midcard muck again.

I am very much on the Big E singles push bandwagon.

Sami Zayn beat Chris Jericho with the Blue Thunder Bomb at the WWE Live RAW house show I went to in November 2016. Zayn does the move so well.

Also this. Nicely said, @Burgundy LaRue xxx

Also for the folks talking about the Rusev/Lana split

Rusev is out for 4 more months and SDL seems to be the place where they can figure out how to do something with almost all the women on the roster

Plus it seems to be the place they run the Total Divas angles so it makes sense for Lana to be there

I'm sure she can go through 3 catty female turns between now and the time Rusev gets back anyway. SDL for "figuring out how to do something with all the women" definitely hasn't escaped that trap. 

[Wyld Samurai]

Is Kalisto on RAW yet so he can be on 205Live that's filmed after Smackdown?

[RIPPA]

I didn't they were "good" things - just things to do

Also Renee being disappointed that Jinder wasn't shirtless on Talking Smack is making me giggle

Odd, I was disappointed that Jinder was there at all... Just sayin'

[Matt D]

Just to clarify, Lana's gimmick is that she has a new hat?

[OSJ]

@Burgundy LaRue & others who have commented on psycho wrestling fans, this post got me six death threats, an e-mail bomb, and even two phone calls, (I was in the phone book, it didn't really take rocket science to get my number), for those reasons, I remain extremely proud of this piece of work. (The WWE and WCW fans that I lampooned, weren't nearly as furious as the XPW crowd.)

After last night, it's obvious that all the mutants aren't in the
bingo halls of Pennsylvania... Are there mutants on the West Coast
too? Let's find out:

Take the Old School John Fedmark Quiz:

ARE YOU A MUTANT?

1. What are you wearing right now? 
  a) Casual clothes - just the old jeans and T-shirt combination. 
  b) Business casual, because you are at work right now. 
  c) Tie-dye t-shirt and overalls because you think you're one of the fucking Dudleys. You sick little monkey.
 
2. You are in a bar talking with some of your friends. Describe the conversation. 
  a) It's basically man stuff - football, baseball, women and beer. 
  b) Philosophy, religion, politics, Bob Ryder's exploding head, whatever someone happens to bring up.
  c) Who the fuck has time for conversation when you're opening cans of beer with your forehead and slamming people through tables?

3. You spill the drink of a rather large person standing at a bar. He
makes a threatening gesture. How do you reply?
  a) "Wanna make something of it? I've said I'm sorry and if that's not good  enough perhaps we should settle this outside." 
  b) "Look, I'll buy you another drink if it makes you feel better!"
  c) Bang your head against a support beam until you're bleeding like a stuck pig so that he knows you're "hardcore"!

6. What type of car do you drive? 
  a) Late model import. 
  b) Gas-guzzling US monstrosity like a Chrysler because they're built to last.
  c) A 1968 El Camino with flames painted on the fenders.

7. How much beer does it take to get you drunk? 
  a) About ten pints. 
  b) More than ten pints. About fifteen. 
  c) There is no such thing as being too drunk!

8. What's your favorite beer?
a. Hell with beer, a little white wine with dinner is nice.
b. Whatever's cheap and on tap.
c. Anything that comes in 40 oz. can. 12 oz. cans are also acceptable if you open them with your forehead. Fucking drunken Neanderthal.

 9. What music do you listen to? 
  a) An eclectic mix - jazz, blues, rock, rap, pop, anything that sounds good.
  b) Mainly middle of the road stuff, chart music. 
  c) Anything loud and obnoxious. 
 
10. What is your favourite poster on your wall? 
  a) You don't have any posters on your wall. 
  b) Weird movie posters and puro stuff from Japan.
  c) You don't have walls for posters because you sleep in your fucking car, you worthless drunken bastard.

11. How many women have you slept with? 
a) Just a couple, it's important that the relationship is "special".
b) Quite a few, but you've settled down and are looking for a long-term relationship.
c) Slept with? What does that mean? Do you mean while they're awake? Does it count if you hit the woman with a Singapore cane and slam her through a table first?

12. You are short of money and decide to get a job. What do you do? 
a) Take a job with a promising dot.com
  b) Work forty+ at a local factory while going to night school.
  c) Start a backyard fed and charge people $5 to watch you cut yourself open with a variety of gardening implements.

14. You have two tickets to the next ECW PPV and your girlfriend
announces that she has tickets for the ballet the same evening.
a) Give the tickets to one of your buddies and go to the ballet. 
b) Explain to her that this is a major event and you'll go with a friend and she can take one of her girlfriends to the ballet.
c) Hit her with a Singapore cane, slam her through the table and send her out to turn tricks so you and one of your worthless thug buddies can smoke some crack before the PPV starts.

15. It's movie night for you and your girlfriend, you select tapes for the VCR, you pick:
a. THE PRINCESS BRIDE, because it's something everyone can enjoy.
b. 1994 J-Cup, because you're trying to get your girlfriend interested in wrestling.
c. FACES OF DEATH, who cares if she likes it or not? Besides which, she  won't be looking at the screen anyway since you gave her $5 to give you head. You sick fucking bastard.
        
16. There's a head-on collision of two vehicles right in front of you.
You:
a. Call for emergency assistance.
b. Administer first-aid as best you can
c. Stand there chanting "X P Dub" and playing with your dick as the victims bleed to death.

ANSWERS: 
Mainly a: You're not a mutant. 
Mainly b: Thank God, neither are you. 
Mainly c: Nicely done, you degenerate bastard. You're a sociopathic thug that no doubt should be locked up. It's unlikely that you'll ever hold a job unless it's as a grave-digger or as a bouncer at a strip club. Your only sexual encounters have all likely begun with the woman naming a price, a price that you've probably had to mug an honest citizen to meet. Do as all a favor and jump off a building to show us how hardcore" you are, you worthless fuck.

Heh-heh-heh, boy oh boy, did this one hit all kinds of nerves...
