Niners Fan in CT Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 25 minutes ago, Andy in Kansas said: I'd say the absence of Becky has had a larger impact in opening spots for Asuka and Sasha in the Raw title scene. Charlotte was in NXT the few months prior to being sidelined, having fresh matches with new opponents. You can argue that Rhea suffered for it, but her booking since then suggests nobody has a clue what to do with her -- regardless of what Charlotte did or didn't do. Maybe but I mean just in general if you look across both brands and NXT the combined length of time Charlotte has been a title holder and they just have no idea what to do with her if she's not holding a belt. So you have situations like what happened with Rhea but this has been going on for years. At WrestleMania 32 everyone thought Sasha Banks was going to come out victorious but they claimed Charlotte needed the win. What has transpired after that is various "there's more to the story.." claims which are all BS. Asuka lost her streak to Charlotte and Hunter said the same thing he said about Rhea. "There's more to the story.." No the hell there isn't 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should lose points for throwing in the towel when Backlund lost to the Sheik. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I have no intention of hashing out years of Charlotte's booking. I'm just setting the record straight about who was until few months ago occupying the real estate on the card that's now being used for other acts that people profess to prefer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skaaland had it 11 years coming. Edited August 31, 2020 by BobbyWhioux 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy proved to be a scrub pretty much his whole career, yet Heyman took him to the IC title, one of the most prestigious belts in all of wrestling. That's some Ranieri taking Leicester to the Premiership title shit right there. Cesaro, I have nothing for. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but winning the I.C. title then was like being the heavyweight boxing champion in the 2010s. Yeah, you got a belt but... look around you.

On the above, longest time between title victories. Bob Backlund loses the WWF Championship in December 1983 and regains it in November 1994. 11 years later. Kane won the WWF Championship in June 1998 and wins the World Heavyweight Championship in July 2010. 12 years. I don't count the ECW Championship as a world title between then. Bret Hart wins the United States Championship in WCW, October 1999 and wins it back 11 years later in WWE, May 2010. Fuck Hogan loses the WWF Championship in June 1993 and wins it back in April 2002, 9 year gap. Big Show wins the WWF Championship in November 1999 and the World Heavyweight Championship, December 2011. 12 years. I wouldn't count the ECW Championship between then.

Skaaland had it 11 years coming. The babyface having a manager is against nature to begin with. The babyface should hire a manager only to even the odds against the heel's manager, like when Eddie Graham paid Saul Weingeroff to manage him and Sam Steamboat against J.C. Dykes and the Infernos. The best thing about that angle was the promos where Eddie continued to call Saul a piece of shit while he was standing right there beside him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Or a new heel manager has to be more despicable e than the current heel manager (see Heyman vs JC in Crockett) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah there's been a lot of that going around this weekend. I think I saw a gif of Apollo doing that before the standing moonsault as well. As for the show itself I may watch the Mysterios tag but that'll likely be it. I do agree that tag Rollins is the best Rollins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This and bringing back Alexa Bliss' pigtails look during her 2016-2017 heel look. Remember the Fiend inverts people. Seth Rollins was a face who turned heel after facing him, Daniel Bryan the other way round and Strowman from goodie to baddie. I can't cheer Braun after throwing Alexa Bliss from a press slam or the Fiend either for applying the Mandible Claw to her. Hated both attacks to Alexa Bliss, a woman. Makes me uncomfortable.
