May 7, 20196 yr comment_5887408 Well, ok then. He can be happy he's not on TV being humiliated on a weekly basis then.
May 7, 20196 yr comment_5887414 The benefit of using Rhyno would be to do 10 minute opening matches on house shows with younger wrestlers who need ring time. Perhaps he should be back in NXT doing it though, since they don't seem to call up as many greenhorns anymore.
May 8, 20196 yr comment_5887415 Watching the last few minutes of SVU before Smackdown starts, and man, I forgot what a depressing, fucked up show this is. WWE would kill to have this level of writing and character quality though. I haven't watched SVU in years, only caught the tail-end, and I already care more about everyone and everything on this show than years of bad WWE programming.
May 8, 20196 yr comment_5887416 Looks like the Raw ratings recovered slightly this week, so at least we hopefully can be spared any more Panic Mode Vince moments.

They were overselling the hell out of it last night. Is it horrible to admit that I'm enjoying seeing them make the most of awful booking and make themselves look better in the process? Usos look awful through all of this (and I feel for them too, because this is a no-win situation all around). I hope Dash and Dawson come out and blind them with ass cream tonight.
May 8, 20196 yr comment_5887422 I enjoyed Dash tweeting a meme of the "My Balls Was Hot" UFC guy last night.
May 8, 20196 yr comment_5887423 so the Usos get drafted to RAW and is now in a match for the Smackdown tag titles. I guess with this whole "wild card" gimmick they can just go back and forth a ton of times
May 8, 20196 yr comment_5887424 The right team won. The Usos are DOA as an act. Bad look, bad catchphrases, you name it. I'd rather listen to a Seth Rollins promo. (In-ring, The Usos are still fine.) Remember the rumor that The Usos wanted their release too? Wonder if there's something to that, because as bad as The Revival looks in this storyline, The Usos look worse.
May 8, 20196 yr comment_5887426 Could turn into a Jerishow thing where the tag titles end up the top titles in the company, especially if they can go between shows.
May 8, 20196 yr comment_5887427 Maybe it's unfair to judge this early but Lars doesn't seem to over much at all with the crowds
May 8, 20196 yr comment_5887429 Probably early since people don't really have specific reason to cheer or boo yet and we don't know anything about his motivations other than that he seems to hate opening match comedy wrestlers and the Hardys because reasons.
May 8, 20196 yr comment_5887430 I will say this. I buy the possibility of a title change in every Kofi Kingston defense and bite on the nearfalls.
May 8, 20196 yr comment_5887431 Giving Kofi the Bret late 1992 "fighting champion" gimmick might just work
May 8, 20196 yr comment_5887432 I really liked that match, but the three kickouts after Blue Thunder Bombs was a bit crazy. It made Kofi look great but are they planning on going with him for the foreseeable future? This week makes me wonder if they've changed their thinking away from him being a short-term thing. Clean pins in the main events on both of the big shows in long and competitive matches, and Bryan seems to be going in a different direction.

Maybe that was just us assuming this about Kofi though? I don't recall any news outlets saying that Kofi was meant to stay a transitional champion.
May 8, 20196 yr comment_5887435 Honestly I assumed it was just because Bryan probably is not going to go to the Saudi show like he didn't go to the previous one, and they wanted the belt on someone else for that time.

They're trying to recreate the initial Brock debut, right?

And I only watch the Raw highlights, but that "stop, drop, and roll" on the stage looked like the best thing on the show. Revival was selling it like somebody set off a car bomb on their crotches, and that's literally like the greatest thing to happen on Raw in years. The bar has been lowered, folks. And this Usos/Revival thing has somehow found a way to limbo a little bit lower... In glorious fashion.

The Revival is selling the hell out of this, embracing it, and turning a negative into as much of a positive as possible. Meanwhile, the Usos look like creepy, perverted jock-asses. Nothing much they can do to redeem their role in this storyline, because all WWE babyfaces have to be as obnoxious and unlikable as possible, I guess.

That and its offshoots -- Strowman, Umaga, Rusev -- are the only type of push they've proven they can get right regularly in the last 15 or so years. It's been a long time since they've demonstrated that they can proactively get over a wrestler at that level who does normal wrestler things like sell and sometimes lose.

It's a blatant rip off of Rob Smigel's TV Funhouse, and also Wonder Showzen I don't hate it, I actually like it, but it's not original, and I don't see how it's going to translate to in-ring and in arenas That said, I don't really care. WWE can crash and burn all they want
