November 28, 20195 yr Author comment_5906372 Cole getting pounced OUT OF FRAME is going to be a meme. absurd
November 28, 20195 yr comment_5906388 Got home 30 minutes late, saw Bea Priestly on Dynamite, switched to NXT and saw the Tag Title match in progress, so I started from the beginning. Holy shit, I need a gif of that insane Keith Lee-Adam Cole spot. (Edit: It's in the post right above mine! The board gave me a weird error box instead of the gif the first time.) I don't care what anybody else says or thinks - Mauro would've added to that moment! Like him or hate him, his commentary style is custom made for spots like that. I'll probably catch the rest of both shows later.
November 28, 20195 yr Author comment_5906423 Imagine, IMAGINE if they have Balor beat Cole for the title. Would root for NXT's demise.
November 28, 20195 yr comment_5906435 They should put it on Keith Lee & have him run through anyone that weighs 225 or under.

WWE has burned me too many times for me to invest in any of their shows, but Keith Lee as badass babyface NXT champ will definitely get me hooked again. Give him an Asuka-like title run.
November 28, 20195 yr Author comment_5906458 I would be all in for a Keith Lee title run. It's been a while since they had a monster babyface ace. It's one of the reasons why I like the Big E title run so much: he just overcame all his opponents because he was just that good and that damn strong.
November 28, 20195 yr comment_5906465 A bit disappointed that there was essentially zero follow up to Lee's Survivor Series. Much too soon to dismiss it as already gone & forgotten, but would've liked to see more of a featured direction for him this week.
November 29, 20195 yr comment_5906502 According to the newest Observer, Bray/Fiend is now the # 1 merch seller in the company
November 29, 20195 yr comment_5906506 There was a theory going around Twitter (I think) this week that so far everyone Bray has worked with has turned. Bryan from heel to face, and both Rollins and Balor from Face to Heel. Probably a giant coincidence, but the people were trying to correlate the Hurt/Heal gloves with making people change alignment. Again, probably just a coincidence, I certainly don't buy it, but certainly an interesting thought.
November 29, 20195 yr comment_5906528 Dave mentioned that Corey Graves has support within the company with the whole Mauro deal, and some folks consider Corey the good guy in all this.
November 29, 20195 yr comment_5906529 Not really surprised, if we're being honest. I mean, probably that Vince popped hard when he saw that Corey tweet.

November 29, 20195 yr comment_5906536 I guess Vince thinks depression means weakness. As much as I can't stand Mauro as an announcer and he may be an asshole, fuck Vince and his office stooges. Corey's tweet was a total dickhead move.

I would wager there's probably a correlation between Corey becoming a favorite of Vince and him becoming more of an abject asshole on TV and social media.
November 29, 20195 yr Author comment_5906543 I mean, I don't remember WWE doing any campaigns on mental health in general. Considering the sheer amount of wrestlers who aren't in a good place mentally, you'd think they would smarten up on that.
November 29, 20195 yr comment_5906547 Well, they did anti-bullying campaigns, which is absolutely laughable considering their company culture, so...
November 29, 20195 yr comment_5906549 Not to mention they have a history of bullying people with mental health issues. AJ Lee basically got called a dumb mark for getting the date she won the women's title tattooed on her neck, and while to be fair I don't know how open she was about her issues then, she's an ambassador for the National Alliance on Mental Issues now and is pretty open about her struggles on social media.
November 30, 20195 yr comment_5906551 So I guess people are expecting Liv Morgan to show up on the Funhouse as the new character Bray is promising?
November 30, 20195 yr comment_5906552 Liv Morgan?! The Fiend is already dead and that would be the nail in the coffin. Id love to see it.
