I love his "Make Tag Teams Great Again" gimmick, it's a little too on the nose for a heel to go around pointing out how the tag division sucks. It's one thing to say it when it doesn't and he's a heel saying heel things, but it *does* suck so it just makes you agree with the bad guy.
June 19, 20196 yr comment_5891262 Is it sad that I think the most interesting feud on Smackdown is the one between Sonya/Mandy and Ember over video games and donuts?
June 19, 20196 yr comment_5891263 If they go with this direction of Beast Slayer Seth beating the fuck out of everyone with chairs along with LassKicker Becky they could do some cool shit here. I'd turn em heel and have em wreck shit. I know everyone here hates Seth. I don't, but I like him much better as a heel, and him and Becky as the top heel act could be money. I mean, right now it's what.....Shane and Baron Corbin?
June 20, 20196 yr Author comment_5891326 WWE to BT Sport in the UK and Ireland is confirmed, ending their 30 year relationship with Sky. Both are subscription cable/satellite services but Sky is much more established and has a lot more customers. Viewership on Sky was down and they obviously weren't selling PPVs in anything like the old numbers so I can imagine that Sky would've lowballed them. But if AEW manages to get an established TV spot somewhere on ITV that basically makes them the biggest wrestling show on the UK market.
June 20, 20196 yr comment_5891333 It looks like Rusev has gone rogue. Or maybe this is some worked shoot nonsense. Either way, we're even further into 2000 WCW territory.
June 20, 20196 yr comment_5891340 It would be awesome to start seeing more WWE wrestlers coming out & challenging the ridiculous independent contractor bullshit to be honest.
June 20, 20196 yr comment_5891342 Cue the "WWE just added six months to Harper's contract" joke. In all seriousness, I don't mind WWE talents criticizing the products but when someone like Jon Moxley laid down the roadmap on how to deal with the remainder of their contract, it's baffling to think that acting otherwise will get them the same result. That or they think they'll be exceptions like Shawn Spears and KENTA.
June 20, 20196 yr comment_5891344 It's not the first time Rusev acts all "Fire me please, I don't give a fuck anymore" on social media. I doubt the guy is signing any new contract.

I don't know if that's a viable roadmap with the way he torched the company after they gave him as classy a sendoff as they've given anyone. If anything, he ensured that anyone who wants to leave will be buried six feet under on the way out.
June 20, 20196 yr comment_5891348 They gave him a classy sendoff because they assumed he was just taking a break and coming back, even though he made it clear he wasn't re-signing. I don't want to say that Vince is genuinely naive when it comes to talents' feelings when contracts expire but it definitely was a miscalculation on his part on many angles, including trying to bury Moxley in a feud with EC3, which caused Vince to be mad at EC3 for no reason other than the fans didn't react how Vince wanted, and EC3 being buried in return. If anything, that should've been the wake-up call for Vince to get his shit together and use his roster to its full potential. But he remains as complacent as he's been in the past 18 years.

Rusev vs Moxley in a Fuck-WWE-On-A-Pole match ? Lana doing actual *fun* manager work ? Damn, isn't this fun ? We're all speculating about when people's contracts are up and shit, like it's 1997 ! 8 minutes ago, Strummer said: Lars may be out the rest of the year with his knee injury That guy is snakebit. Possible still a racist asshole, the anxiety attack deal which got him off Mania vs Cena, now this...

June 20, 20196 yr comment_5891366 Lars will be the answer to a trivia question in five years. WWE wrestlers with as many setbacks as he's had rarely get pushed to the same heights afterward. KENTA/Hideo Itami is the most recent example, but even Dolph Ziggler never sniffed the World Title again after his concussion (unless we get a surprise victory over Kofi on Sunday, which wouldn't shock me as much as most).
June 20, 20196 yr comment_5891367 So it looks like WWE's new plan is to send guys like Road Dogg and Drew Mac out to do interviews saying the people not happy with their station in the company just weren't working hard enough to get what they want. That's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off.

June 20, 20196 yr comment_5891374 I mean, it's not as if the person who was the unofficial poster child for this wave of disgruntled independent contractors went and did two separate long form interviews on how he couldn't get the old man in charge of things to get past poop jokes long enough to listen to his ideas. It's going to be real cute when they try to cherry pick the obvious guys who don't read verbatim from scripts as if they are on the same level as the folks in NXT/Midcard WWE guys.
June 23, 20196 yr comment_5891485 So I guess the only selling point for Stomping Grounds tonight is Joe vs Ricochet and Brock or Heyman as the ref for the Rollins/Corbin snoozefest. Can't believe this is going to be a 4 hour show. Hopefully we get 30 minutes of 24/7 goofiness
June 23, 20196 yr comment_5891491 Pretty bleak times that the TV thread on a week before a PPV can’t even get two pages of discussion. Certainly seems like this is the coldest WWE has been in several years. Hard to imagine how anyone can be confident that anything will be any better when they move to Fox.
June 23, 20196 yr comment_5891513 Has anybody heard the news item that claims WWE is going to stop having matches continue during commercial breaks? How would they even do that, time the show out so that they only go to commercial between matches, or will they have the referee call time out when the show goes to break?
June 23, 20196 yr comment_5891522 They were test running 2 out of 3 falls matches this week to elevate the issue.

I can't think of a worse run of WWE TV and booking. I would take 1995, 1999 AND 2002-2004 over this without hesitation.
