I wonder if Jay Lethal has a whole repertoire of impressions, his Macho Man is almost physically perfect and that skit where he was Ric Flair against Ric Flair is the best thing TNA ever did.
That period of TNA was gold.Originally Posted by wullie
Thank goodness AOP have a manager! If only WWE had thought of that before.
There are genuinely no words.
By definition, he'll be the most crazy.
You can always count on the Bella twins for a botch or two.
The second is fucking phenomenal watching Logan and Riot roll her over the both of them and then selling it.
I have never decided more quickly whether to fast forward through a match or not than when I saw the Bellas in the ring.
I missed their 'peak', were they ever good? Why are they so liked?
Twin magic was at least unique when they started it. Them carrying on with it once Nikki got her tits was just bizarre. But they were never any better than they are now.
Actually watching RAW now and Drake Maverick is brilliant as the AOP manager, he looks about 5 foot tall at best standing next to them.
Surprisingly given who they were dating/training with, but Nikki is far better. Actually has some decent power moves.
They tried out to see how natural Drake Maverick would look with AOP a few months ago
It'll definitely have a bullshit ending but I'm looking forward to Dunne / Rick O'Shea with both their titles on the line.
Renee Young has officially replaced 'Coach' permanently, which is great news.
I don't know if she's actually good though or if she's just (obviously) better than Coachman.
At least we wont have to hear his words of the hour nonsense.
That's huge for Monday Night if that's the case.
I wonder if they will get a female comms for Smackdown now.
Renee is fine. No better than that yet but she might grow into it and being actual mates with Graves should help.
The best advice for any WWE commentators would be to shut up for a while, the constant shouting of pre-prepared lines is truly awful.
Michael Cole, Coach and Tom Phillips by far the worst for this.
Although Cole has mellowed since I got back into it.
Oh and while I like Mauro Ranallo on NXT, his 'MAMMA MIA' line is seriously grating.
When Vince is screaming down your ear telling you to plug shit I guess you do as you're told. Even Cole is much better when he did the UK Championship and the one episode so far of this MYC.
The apparent leaked script is probably their bible:

For some reason I love: "Mark Henry's back is 3x's the size of his opponents not Mark Henry has a huge back".
I have no doubt about who sets the tone for it, but you watch other promotions and you realise how nice it is just to be able to watch the match. Having said that I'm now very tired of Kevin Kelly's habit of shouting the finishing moves like he's a Mexican football commentator, it's not only annoying but it sometimes gives away the finish.
They've really taken that one to heart, mission accomplished.Words to avoid:
Interesting
His breasts go three times further round his body than any other athlete.
I'm defending the commentators, not the commentary. Because you're right, most of it is utter bollocks. When you watch the older stuff you can hear some of this starting to creep in but JR, in-form King and Heyman were good enough to work around it.
Yeah, or established enough to be able to ignore some of it and get away with it. Are they making a big deal out their first full time female commentator? It is quite amazing that they took this long to break down a barrier entirely of their own making but still feel able to pat themselves on the back over it.
That is everything about the WOMEN'S RECOLUTION since Stephanie McMahon invented vaginas.
They were banging on about a Japanese woman in the MYC in her 30s talking about her appearing in WCW as a proper wimmin wrassler back in the 90s and talking about how amazing that is and totally ignoring the hypocrisy.
They're making a huge deal out of it.
They put this tweet out:
And they've re-tweeted/favourited every single wrestlers opinion so far.
Michael Cole is trying to trumpet the equality line hard:
Brie Bella v Maryse in the main event on Smackdown.
Fucking hell.
The Bella Twins seemed alright when they were really trying but everyone else was complete crap, but now there are some actual women wrestlers around they're the worst. Of course the shitter of the two is now on both shows as well.
What a shit weapon an axe handle is.
I do like Mick being the special referee on Sunday.
I wonder if they'll let him do a spot.
And Renee got to celebrate by being fed this pearl of a line by somebody backstage: "The Riott Squad should bow down and thank the Bella Twins.”
Fuck off.
Also lol at Brie being a cross-brand wrestler. The state of it.
I liked that the 'Twins' couldn't even feign any emotion at THEIR ROOM GETTING RIOTTED.
I bet Stephanie screams in her ears like Vince does with Cole.
Speaking of Stephanie, I loved that in the same show you've had Jezza saying she wants Boatman to take the title belt off Reigns and then Mick Foley coming out saying "oh yeah Steph totally hates me but it's still cool if I ref the match she has a preferred winner in."
Foley's promo was better than anything he did as GM so I assume he wasn't just memorising a script.
Michael Cole is secretly seething.
I don't get Lio Rush being manager of Bobby Lashley, although I don't understand most of what goes on with RAW at the moment.
Good old Double J has managed to get his promotion to host the NWA 70th Anniversary which includes Cody v Aldis rematch for the Worlds title.
Such a chancer.
Wait what? I must have wound past that on Raw.
It was a weird skit where Lashley's doing his workout and Lio Rush starts hyping him up with the obvious outcome of him getting flattened, but then Lashley shouts MY MAN and they're now best friends.
Next week Drew Gulak will be introduced as Corbin's assistant to the regional manager or something.
Well Gulak has been stomping the Shield with THE WAR DOGS.
205 is technically a subsidiary of RAW so I think they're doing it to try and boost viewer figures. It's still apparently seen as shit even though it's the second best show of the four right now.
It's not like there's much competition.
True but I do think that it's actually quite good (despite the Loser House Party), their main event matches always seem to deliver.
Only NXT is better.
While it's probably for the best they're not getting that Raw stink on them at the moment, Mustafa Ali is the best and should have as big an audience as is possible rather than just streaming and pre-shows.
So finally getting round to watching All In who is Joey Ryan and why is his gimmick dicks? That post-match thing was so fucking strange.
He's a famous dick wrestler.
Basically he started doing a move where he 'threw' his opponent using his dick.
He was 'killed' by Hangman Page as part of a storyline on Being the Elite and All In was his big return. The entrance was a nod towards the Undertaker and his druid entrance from WM 19/20(?), but with inflatable dicks instead.
Was Maryse vs Brie the MOTY candidate I was expecting?
