The Wrestlemania 3 card was what I meant to put in there.
The Wrestlemania 3 card was what I meant to put in there.
That's some typo.
Nah I was going to go with the joke, decided I couldn't phrase it right and clearly forgot to delete 'since'
We talking about different songs?
Sounds like the most generic early 00's metal.
Is there any reason why that we know of?
I mean that seems to tie in around the time the Speaking Out stuff started happening but I don't remember him being named.
He was named but it was a bit stupid. He was being slated for basically continuing to book his friend after someone said the friend abused her.
And having people taken off shows because his girlfriend fell out with them. His Twitter had been dead since so maybe something else has gone on.
Ah okay, I either missed all that or immediately forgot.
Anyone who cares about him will get him off social media.
The Artists collective this week was the peak of Quizzlemania.
Wale dropping off for "agricultural purposes."
KO with a springboard moonsault
Glorious.
The finish to the eye for an eye match
So fucking stupid.
Edit: And the Swamp Fight might be the worst cinematic match they've done. Even the Squaredcircle hated it and they love Bray to the moon and back.

I’ve not watched a minute of it but that truly sounds like the worst show of all time.
The card was better than I thought but the problem is that they ruined the two best matches.
Asuka/Banks was a terrific match and then the overbooked nonsense finish ruined it completely. With Drew/Ziggler you never felt that Dolph could win, even though with the stipulation so heavily in his favour he should have won.
They also booked Drew in exactly the same way that’s ruined all their other recent face champions.
The only surprising thing about that is that anyone expected any different.
The cinematic match was awful. Braun tied to a chair for 20 minutes while Bray spoke in riddles. What a disappointment.
I was going to say I find it hard to believe anybody expected more from the Swamp Fight but then I suppose I also wasn't in favour of the Boner Yard so maybe it was just me expecting nothing. The only thing I liked was the little Mixed Match / Alexa / Sister Abigail reference thing.
The Raw womens match was good but if that ending holds up then lol. And the tables match wasn't helped by them going for the worst version of the rules. The finishing spot was still decent though.
With an important exception. He isn't being made to look like an idiot (most of them) or a snivelling weed (Rollins) or to say endless stupid shit (Sufferin' succotash!) outside of matches. I don't think people don't hate powerful faces (unless they're being booked at the expense of Daniel Bryan), they hate unlikeable mongs.
Reigns had the same issue as Cena. Fans gave them undeserved shit for their ring work but the real issue is that their characters no-sold everything that happened to them. Cena's a brilliant promo but that doesn't matter if your response to everything any heel tries to do to you is basically 'lol.'
I'd agree though that they need to be careful how they go once they're in front of live crowds again. Not much of his big babyface build up was in front of fans really so they can't just assume that everybody's going to love him unconditionally with whatever they have planned.
According to Uncle Dave Asuka was meant to be winning clean last night until Vince changed his mind and we got that fucking ending instead.
How am I only now learning this was a thing?
RAW tapings have been delayed due to a combination of talents not being available (COVID?) and re-writes after shit feedback from last night. It’s going to be so glorious how bad it is.
At least it’ll still have Orton vs Big Show....
If they just keep making things up on the fly hard enough they'll eventually nail it, I'm sure.
Oh good, we're getting more Ziggler in the title picture.
Bayley to attack Sasha, giving her the belt by DQ. It’s so shit and that’s why it’ll definitely happen.
Kairi apparently had her last match with the company at RAW and will be leaving to go to Japan to be closer to her husband.
Pirate Princess
I'm sure I've said this before but her elbow drop might be the best around.

I imagine she’s taped something else, but if they’ve let her fuck off with a win over the champion they’re dumber than the Extreme Rules booking suggests.
Lack of distance travelled means that Macho Man still wins.
Any old (super athletic) wrestler can jump to the middle of the ring to drop the elbow.
What's impressive about hers is the total disregard for her own wellbeing to make it more impactful.
Though admittedly she looks like she weighs less than a bag of flour so I suppose she has to put some gusto into it.
Woods does a good one as well, if distance is what you're after.
Shane O'Mac hasn't hit any coast to coast elbow drops, has he?
He's the best in the world, he could do one from the ring to the top of the ramp if he wanted to.
They only let Keith be a double champ for one week
Literally the least interesting option. Have Kross cost him it or stick him in a triple threat where he doesn't take the pin if you don't want him losing. Such a pointless decision.
Having someone told two singles titles at once isn’t good no matter what they do. However he lost it, that guy should then have been the NXT Champion, not beating the NXT champion to win a lesser belt.
It's fine for a short period of time and the way NXT book there's no reason that for a month or so he couldn't have actively defended the titles as much as any champion does and held both for a bit.
If you wanna do something pronto just do the Angle / Benoit / Jericho thing and only have him take the second fall.
I just don’t think they’ve ever done a good angle where someone had 2 titles (excluding tag titles). Even Becky 2 belts was shite.
Badmouthing D'Lo Brown like that.
Adam Cole
Being paid to tell Pat McAfee to fuck off is great.
100%.
Still must be fun telling McAfee to fuck off though.
The one good angle I remember when someone had a few belts was Lance Storm renaming them all stuff like Saskatchewan Singles and Nova Scotia Classic or similar
The Reed / Gargano / Strong match on NXT was really good last week and I'd be pleased if Reed winning is a sign that they're going to give pushes to some other talent to mix things up a bit.
SRS back this week on Quizzlemania
Oof, come to take down Luke?
