Re: Day-to-Day Quote Topic
And I'm not saying that WWE doesn't snap people up to keep them away from the competition. I'm just saying that when you're talking economics and applying morality to it, you have to admit that while you might find that practice monopolistic, the result of it is those workers being paid a lot more ...

Re: Day-to-Day Quote Topic
Dude... do you have any idea how much talent was making? I'm not saying you can't criticize them for this, but if you're going to criticize them for being greedy by cutting talent to save a bunch of money, will you at least acknowledge the other side of the coin that this company spent YEARS paying...

Re: BRM Reviews the 7/29/2020 NXT
I think Ridge has been in the States for a while now. I’ve seen him in the crowd at the PC for shows a bunch. Oh. I don't know if I could have even picked him out of a crowd. Is there anyone else from NXT UK that you've noticed? Just him, and it was hard to notice at first because he had a mask on,...

Re: Keith Lee vacates NXT North American title
I haven’t watched NXT yet (because it’s not available until Friday up here), and so I can’t really have a solid opinion yet, but I would have had Lee pull double duty defending, showing that he’s determined to be a fighting champion for both titles, perhaps have a grueling NXT championship match one...

Re: WWE Raw draws second-lowest viewership, ties low in 18-49
I feel like it all comes down to a phenomenon that plagues just about every company. Management has no idea what is really happening because they only see data. That's not the case here, though. The problem here is that Vince is unwilling to change. He knows exactly what is happening because he's g...

Re: WWE Raw draws second-lowest viewership, ties low in 18-49
But numbers going down is a known consequence of pushing a whole crop of new guys. It's a sports team rebuilding. Numbers went down, but that doesn't mean the idea was failing. And yes, Vince's impatience is what killed it, but I don't think it's fair to blame Vince's attitude for fan impatience. I...

Re: WWE Raw draws second-lowest viewership, ties low in 18-49
I don't think it's quite fair to say that pushing new people "failed" because they didn't give it enough time. Other than Seth, Rey, and Lashley (and Edge and Orton who never wrestle on TV), pretty much everyone in the Raw men's division is getting their first sustained push on the main r...

Per WOL, Today is Kairi Sane's last day with WWE and being written off to get someone over with a 'career ending injury' that hopefully is not Nia Jax and turns into a shoot career ending injury It's going to be Bayley. I realized last night that I haven’t seen Nia in a while and I was very happy a...

Re: BRM Reviews The Horror Show At WWE Extreme Rules
The best way I've heard this show described (by Todd Martin) is "the best-wrestled thumbs-down show you'll ever see." I try not let a bad finish kill a whole match for me. I totally understand if you do because that's the darn climax of everything and thus it's totally valid to give it a ...

As soon as I saw that Sister Abigail was Alexa my eyes lit up, because I knew it would get a reaction out of you.

Braun… listen to me. DON’T DO IT! I am Alexa’s Bliss!’s biggest fan, and not even I think that an eternity of hanging out with and boning Alexa Bliss! would be worth having to listen to any more Bray Wyatt promos.

Re: Rey Mysterio currently working without WWE contract
Rey won't go anywhere right now, he's getting a last push in WWE PLUS they're probably doing a bunch of stuff for Dominic, so there's no real reason to fear he'll suddenly show up elsewhere. it can be actually kinda smart for Rey, it may be a security blanket for him to make sure that WWE does righ...

Re: BRM Reviews the 7/3/2020 Smackdown
at the end of the day, wrestling is about wrestling, the story and characters (as much as I’m into it all as a writer) just supports it. Gives two people a reason to fight, gives someone motivation to do a thing, etc. I'm... not totally sure I agree with this statement. Once you get out of the earl...

Re: BRM Reviews the 7/3/2020 Smackdown
Unless he's bullying a Kevin Dunn esque dweeb matchmaker with physical harm unless he makes the matches he wants, which would honestly be a better use of Corbin than calling back to, arguably, the most upsetting time to be a WWE fan in history. I’m almost tempted to say that it’s always an upsettin...

MATT RIDDLE vs. JOHN MORRISON (w/The Miz)- 7.5/10 Baron Corbin was on commentary for this match, because whoever is booking this show at the moment apparently despises the audience. Shockingly, Michael Cole actually called out the thing I mentioned above and asked Corbin who is letting him make the...
