Apparently the next Saudi blood money show will be in October. Same month as the Queen of the Ring show

I know it's not his fault or fair but Roman's 2015-2020 babyface push is going to have the "wwe not listening to its fan base" stigma attached to it. The fans highjacking of the wm 34 main event seemed to be the low/high point of that. The whole "Brock is Vince's boy and the wwe brass are against Roman" was so terrible as no one bought it for a second. The reaction to the 34 main event was a testament to that. also if Roman won the title at 31 the plan was for him to feud with Kane and Big Show afterwards. Yes better than the Bray stuff but Big Show and Kane were beyond stale at that point.

Jeff Hardy tested positive for Covid

Bayley debuted on the main roster 5 years ago today.

I completely get the idea of Big E being a fresh act on top but yeah technically next year will be his 10th year on the main roster. I made the same point about Naomi. It will be her 10th year coming up as well

PWI reporting that Daniel Bryan is not a part of any future wwe licensing or merchandising going into 2022 also he is not part of any future Mattel figure releases

This is the most talk of of Raw I've seen in ages

Talk that wwe has re-signed Braun Strowman as they have just made new merch for him

In January Naomi will have been on the main roster for 10 years

Meltzer has been hinting that the Roman/Usos story is going to be pushed even stronger going forward. Usos winning the titles adds to that. Next month it will be one year since that storyline has started

Newest Observer says Cena is working Summerslam. I would assume v Roman

Hogan was freaking gigantic in late 89/early 90. When he comes back after shooting Suburban Commando to feud with Earthquake in summer 90 he looks smaller and would pretty much maintain that look until he left after Mania 8. Of course when he comes back in 93 he is noticeably much smaller

And there's Tommy End

Lol at the Saudi line

Yup from what I saw most were on Dave's side on this one

Loss RT'd the Kindergarden Cop clip and I'm literally coughing from laughing so hard. "Nothing's a matter" simpler times

It's probably not fair (but understandable i guess) but Roman's 2015-2020 babyface run is always going to be looked at as a failure to a degree. It wasn't his fault and the crowd booed Cena during his run as well but many remember that time as primarily wwe not listening to their audience. i mean obviously Cena sold more merch and has the Rock matches business wise but you can't rate wrestlers like that anymore in the tv rights era where the money is there no matter what/who is on top

I was thinking about that. Breeze was a staple on UUDD and they probably have hours and hours of shows with him in the can

Sean Ross Sapp reporting more wwe releases coming today

Apparently Eva Marie was accidentally put in the alumni section but quickly put back on the Raw roster

But there's also the "Vince always wins" crowd fans who worship Vince and criticize everyone else in the company

Loss has alluded to this in the past. A lot of people will criticize Hunter, writers, etc. but never Vince. Don't really get that

Heyman issued an open challenge for anyone to face Reigns next week. NXT call up?

As far as "coolness" I don't think wrestling has ever been as uncool as it was from 1992-1995. Even today

Totally agree just pointing out how that talking point inevitably always comes up at least a few times a year and the same debate happens. It was happening in the early 2000s
