At least SOMEONE still has some respect for kayfabe:

I wish there was a like button on here so I could like this post. That's amazing.

This segment was no good. This was… imagine that Hunter finally got Vince to sit down and watch an episode of NXT and Vince said “okay, Hunter. If the internet people like this so much then I’ll try doing this segment your way… but dammit me and my writers have got to punch up some of that dialogue...

I'd actually be fine with Kofi beating Bryan and Fastlane, defending against (and defeating) Orton at Mania to establish him as a world title-level guy (Orton would claim his win was a fluke), and then maybe turning Mustafa Ali heel on Kofi for "stealing my opportunity" and having Kofi beat Ali bef...

Move names don't bug me when they don't suck (and, being the nit-picker that I am, it should just be Claymore, not Claymore Kick. "Claymore Kick" sounds stupid because you don't kick people with a sword, and you don't need to tell us it's a kick because WE CAN SEE THAT!" Also, it's noun-noun, makin...

...and naming all the god. damn. finishers. Dirty Deeds, and Claymore Kicks, and YES! Locks, and all that... just stop. Some moves need a name (Stunner, RKO, GTS...), but it doesn't work if EVERYONE does it. It's annoying. This drives me mad too. So many of them have garbage names. I like the Claym...

gave him the elimination on Randy Orton to boot (which felt like exactly the sort of symbolic move you would make if you were going to put the belt on Kofi). I actually didn't pick up on that, and I quote Randy's "STUPID, STUPID, STUPID" all the time... I'm a bad fan. arguably Bailey's first main r...

I would love to see something like McIntyre v Black,

You might be on to something. Braun will need two partners to wrestle Baron and his friends at Mania.....

Oh god. Both of these guys are better than that though. So is Braun to be fair. This whole bit sucks.

I’ll begin with this- the crowd was dead all night for everything, so crowd reaction may not be the best bar to gauge successes on. Now as a fan, I legit just about had a stroke when I saw that they were all going to be on RAW. I don’t follow NXT as much as I should but I love all 4 of these guys (e...

Everything is cliche after cliche after cliche. "This is the new Daniel Bryan!" Then fit into every other 3-5 sentences. Oh my gosh this drives me mental every show. The stupid nicknames and buzzwords and catchphrases that don't stick. They try to force all this garbage on us hoping we eat it up an...

You're not wrong to be cynical, but the more I think about it, them wanting to have a top African-American babyface to point to is a legitimate thing to want, and as much as I wish they'd let Apollo Crews be that guy, there is no denying that Kofi has the talent to fill the role, so it's a lot more...

It might belong in the "I Might Be The Only One In The World That Thinks This..." thread, but say what you will about WCW's booking decisions, I REALLY miss Nitro. The formula for the program just worked. They definitely got their "entertainment" in, but from start to finish it felt like you were w...

It's kind of damning when WWE acts like an actual wrestling company would for once, and its so out of character that fans assume there must be an ulterior motive. That's their history though. They want to appeal to an Indian market, Jinder Mahal gets a push. They want to appeal to a Mexican market,...

I may be the only person in the world who thinks this but stadium shows suck. House shows are where it's at. I know that BRM already hates this but I loved Beth's purple lip colour. The bolder the colour the better in my opinion There is definitely a charm to house shows that beats a stadium show a...

I was super pleased with the chamber match as well, but then I had a terrible idea and I hope I am so, so off base with it and that WWE would not be so terrible. February is Black History Month. Only this month has Kofi started to get any kind of momentum... and I am so worried that once February i...

They're probably not winning the belts, obviously, but Jey's DUI last year didn't keep them out of the tag title picture at all, so maybe this won't, either. I mostly mean the rumor that they're thinking about AEW, and now this, it just doesn't feel like it's going to go well. You're right that it ...
