they have the power to do it like Austin or Lesnar who didn't become gimmicks. Those were both credibility wins for guys already well on their way and past the point of a silly gimmick. I'm thinking Drew McIntyre was the only one they'd have been willing to drop their precious tomfoolery for, as it...

2. Joe definitely could have made it work

You're not wrong, but Joe also had to walk around with a tattoo of a penis on his face for this business. Poor bastard's suffered enough. Don't make him a king.

He's already been one when didn't want to (Zero-1, I think). He's used to it.

You are confusing heat with "l'll turn the channel because I'm sick of this f*cking guy." Yes, the king gimmick is bad, but even if we cease hoping that they'll realize that it's supposed to be a f*cking metaphor 1. I think Andrade could have actually pulled it off because he has the right air of do...

I thought this was the general consensus assumption of what would happen.

Yeah... RAW was a steaming pile of garbage tonight, and I’m not looking forward to Smackdown tomorrow. At least Cole outright said no more wild cars rule after the draft though.

I guess he's been reading my reviews.

I was thinking Charlotte Bayley was a more apt candidate for HIAC considering Bayley fled the building after, but that would also work. Well.. it doesn't really "work," but they'll do HIAC anyway because that's the month we're in. And I don't mean to call you put specifically, but I think your comm...

I woulda liked a Braun title win, but that's just cause I like Braun, like Bob said, he doesn't need it. And I assume the big backstage brawl we saw between Sasha and Becky would lead to a Falls Count Anywhere Match at the next PPV or something. If Becky had beaten Sasha clean I would agree with yo...

So the right title changes didn't happen with Strowman and Sasha...of course... Even when things change in this company...they actually really don't. I woulda liked a Braun title win, but that's just cause I like Braun, like Bob said, he doesn't need it. And I assume the big backstage brawl we saw ...

WWE Clash of Champions 2019 (9/15/2019)- Charlotte, NC KICK-OFF SHOW: Much talking from the panel happened, as well as the showing of video packages we’ve all seen a million times already.

IMPERIUM PROMO- good heel stuff. I like the “heels who think they are the real babyfaces” aspect to it. IMPERIUM (Fabian Aichner & Marcel Barthel) (w/Imperium) vs. TWO JOBBERS- squash The jobbers tried very hard but were no match for Imperium. WALTER beat one of them up after the match, just because...

I've been talking about this for years. Post-2012 Dave would have been giving ***** to ROH matches and those HBK/Taker/Angle Mania matches left and right.

RHEA RIPLEY SHOWS UP AT THE ARENA- This did not feel important at all and left me wondering why she was striding so dramatically for the mundane act of showing up to work.

After making Sumie Sakai their first champion instead of Emma fresh off of her WWE run, this really shouldn't be surprising anymore.

So he's been in WWE for THREE YEARS and hasn't even made it to NXT TV? And that's AFTER being trained by Booker? No wonder they've got him in commentary.

Bray demands people recreate the set he sees and be the puppets for fear of sicking The Fiend on them? This theory indicates that Bray has some sort of control over the Fiend, which contradicts your earlier schizophrenia theory. I mean, Bray did say he "learned how to harness it" in one of the earl...

NIGEL MCGUINNESS IS REPLACED ON COMMENTARY BY “NXT SUPERSTAR DIO MADDIN- He’s some football player trained by Booker T. If they’re sticking him on commentary, my guess is that training hasn’t been going well. Replacing Nigel is a frustrating downgrade. BRIAN KENDRICK & AKIRA TOZAWA vs. JACK GALLAGHE...

I just don't have faith that we'll ever get anything like that. I can settle for what we're getting now, with a weekly Funhouse talking about current events. I don't remember where I read it, but somebody pointed out how Bray might be the only wrestler in history that figured out how to be his own ...
