October 8, 20186 yr comment_5868813 Not a fan of Trish at all but hopefully it will lead to some great Bliss promos.
October 8, 20186 yr comment_5868815 1 hour ago, El-P said: Why ? To promote her match with Alexa at Evolution, presumably.
October 9, 20186 yr comment_5868823 Manager talking over the house mic while the match is going on is a bad bit. It confuses the crowd - they're waiting for the manager to talk and not really paying attention to the match.
October 9, 20186 yr comment_5868824 Miz TV tomorrow with Bryan and AJ as guests. Yup they are definitely building to a 3 way for the title like a bunch of us guessed. Lashley needs to turn heel if he already just didn't tonight
October 9, 20186 yr comment_5868826 Awesome Bella heel turn!!! Look at this big stuff happening on Raw
October 9, 20186 yr comment_5868828 Seriously wonder if Heyman is working on creative with all these turns going down. In the past 2 months we've had Becky, Braun, Lashley and The Bellas turn. Probably more to come. Someone in the Shield v Dogs of War is certainly turning eventually This happens to coincide with the reports Heyman was helping some with creative. Oh and I guess Kane and Taker "turned" in Australia
October 9, 20186 yr comment_5868829 Holy shit Kurt Angle as a Conquistador!! Heyman has to be booking

October 9, 20186 yr comment_5868833 Alexa v Trish now a tag. Lexy/Mickie v Trish/Lita. Wonder why they combined the matches. Saving the Alexa/Trish for down the line ?
October 9, 20186 yr comment_5868836 I like this as a change anyway. I was asking for it to happen when Trish came out. And it means we get more of Trish and Mickie punching on like it's 2006.
October 9, 20186 yr comment_5868847 The surprise reveal of Kurt was the best, something actually unexpected for once. Great episode overall with lots happening.
October 9, 20186 yr comment_5868848 Can Brie be on time for anything? Anybody else catch Sarah Logan have to pretend that Brie grabbed her ankle while she was stopping Rousey, but Brie either forgot or whiffed?
October 9, 20186 yr comment_5868879 The pairing of Lio Rush with Lashley is excellent. I hope they stick with it and give them a chance to strike up some chemistry together. This is basically Bobby's early heel act from TNA, except that Rush could serve as an upgrade in the MVP/Kenny King role. I love that he's capable of being the trash talker AND the bumping manager all in one, yet they didn't have him eat a bunch of punishment here. Hold off on that payoff, and at least ATTEMPT to make it a meaningful moment when it first occurs. Meantime? Let him weasel his way out of situations and feed Bobby. Oh. And Alicia Fox is wonderful. She is simultaneously both a trainwreck and a treasure. She commands attention like nobody's business, and it happens anytime she finds her way onscreen. I cannot fathom why they aren't tripping over themselves to find something consistent for her to do. Jinder has been a non-entity, regardless of where they try to position him. But here, Foxy falling over herself to open the ropes for him & openly arguing about it with Sunil Singh was just tremendous. This is clearly one of those oft-discussed periods when Vince woke up & decided his company needs more managers. I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
October 9, 20186 yr comment_5868886 Here's what I wrote about Alicia Fox in 2016... "Alicia Fox's Scissors Kick continues to be one of my favorite moves in the WWE as, no matter how many times she delivers the thing, it almost always looks like her opponent is not expecting it and she's delivering it with utter recklessness - it is just beautiful in its sloppiness like a JBL clothesline." And in 2014... "I’ve been a big fan of Fox since her character took off a few weeks ago and I've always enjoyed her matches – not because she is a great worker, but largely because, especially in her first years, she was so sloppy it looked like she was legit hurting her opponents. This adds a level of danger to her matches that is rare in the divas division, kinda like when Vader would be potatoing dudes in early 90’s WCW. Fox has tightened up her in-ring skills since then, but she also just looks much more comfortable too, her natural charisma no longer hidden behind insecurity and botched scissor kicks." I think I was a bit harsh when I kept using the word "sloppiness," which I regret, but also, I'm not sure what other word one could use to describe why she is fun to watch. I mean, how else would one describe the Steiners or Nasties in the early 90s? Or the aforementioned JBL Clothesline? And unlike those dudes, who seemed to almost be malicious with their treatment of opponents (especially jobbers in the case of Steiners and ECW alumni in JBL's case), I don't think Fox's physicality comes from a bad place as much as someone (rightfully) instilled in her that "laying your shit in" isn't a bad thing. I could be way off too, but even for how vicious some of Fox's scissor kicks looked in the past, I'm not sure she's ever knocked anyone unconscious like Brie did a few weeks ago. So, yeah, Alicia Fox is a pretty underrated performer and I'm glad someone in the office recognized that before many of us came around to seeing it.
October 9, 20186 yr comment_5868890 The Jimmy Hart role of the pipsqueak manager who's annoying but can also bump when someone gets their hands on him is one of those things that always works. I'm not sure why it fell out of favor not just in WWE but everywhere it seems.
October 9, 20186 yr comment_5868891 Count me in on the Alicia Fox fan club. That girl is WILD and I love her. Her getting things to do and TV time is one of the best things about 2018. What a survivor. I'm going to write something longer on her in the near future for my column for sure.
