October 27, 20204 yr Author comment_5930844 You joke but that was the mentality behind some of the bookers after Daniel Bryan's story.
October 27, 20204 yr comment_5930853 So who is the face in Orton-Fiend then? They might as well give Alexa the title, it's not as if they have thought of a single good storyline for Asuka in a while.

The Daniel Bryan story is fascinating because it's the root of the current insanity. Daniel Bryan got over *despite* their inept booking and unwillingness to push him as a top guy. After Roman Reigns got rejected one too many times as the top guy by an audience who only wanted Daniel Bryan, they gave in and pushed Daniel Bryan to the top. And *then*, because they can't face the truth/reality, they managed to worked themselves into a total denial mental scheme in which all of this was actually the plan from the start and the fact they buried Daniel Bryan was actually the way they got him over *by design*. Which of course, is complete bullshit and mental damage control. But they got so buried in their own insanity and denial that since then they actually believe the way to push someone is to have him lose all the time. Because "it worked" for Daniel Bryan. Total, complete insanity.

They might as well give Alexa the title, it's not as if they have thought of a single good storyline for Asuka in a while. Given The Fiend's most recent attacks, other than Kevin Owens, he's pretty much attacked heels so that would make him the de facto babyface. But I see both Fiend & Alexa more like tweeners at the moment and I think they should be booked as such. Personally, I want Alexa to be the one to beat Asuka. I couldn't stomach Asuka doing another job to Charlotte Flair and quite frankly, I'm tired to constantly Charlotte with a title belt. When's the last good storyline that Charlotte was involved in that didn't revolve around a title?
October 27, 20204 yr comment_5930857 There's only one answer for who should take the title from Asuka: The Goddess Eva Marie
October 27, 20204 yr comment_5930859 So this happened on Raw: Some people took issue with what they thought to be WWE making light of epilepsy, so Mia Yim Reckoning clarified on Twitter that it was supposed to be a possession and not a seizure: Just what Retribution needs. Some Fiend bullshit.
October 27, 20204 yr comment_5930860 Is Charles Wright available ? I mean, this is straight out of Papa Shango shit.

Total, complete insanity. It is the root of much of the current insanity, but Roman didn't get rejected one too many times by that point. Daniel Bryan had his Wrestlemania Main Event by beating all three members of Evolution in one night, and that's the part which they want us to think was intentional. That same Wrestlemania saw the Shield beating N.A.O./Kane in a squash, all three members were really fucking over and were positioned as the future. Roman's push as a singles star began in late 2014, but him moving to the main event happened in 2015, and while the rejection in that year's Rumble was historical and had something to do with Bryan, Daniel already had his run at the top.

Some Fiend bullshit. Jeez. I'd like to think I'm pretty social conscious, but a heel having to apologize about doing something heelish in character is a bit much. Nice of her to do it but wtf?

Oh, ok, yeah I had my timeline a bit confused with Roman. Wow, Rumble 2015, seems like another totally different life. It was, actually...

Look the point is that it felt like some sort of drug withdrawal or a seizure - two things really far removed from the original intention. And then again: why is Retribution, a stable with generic lines about inequality, greed and corporate bs dealing with demonic possessions?
October 28, 20204 yr comment_5930874 I think it's a case of jumping to the conclusion it was supposed to be some kind of seizure since the truth was way more stupid.
October 28, 20204 yr comment_5930875 The logical conclusion to draw is that Keith Lee will become the new Papa Shango and reunite with his NXT ally Mia Yim.
October 28, 20204 yr comment_5930883 Serena Deeb just won the NWA women's title tonight, Dave mentioned WWE is interested in Thunder Rosa. Can't wait for her to tear it up in NXT then become the token woman in a stable on the main roster they'll lose interest in and job out in weeks.
October 28, 20204 yr Author comment_5930885 I wish they would have a woman lead a kickass stable. Sanity would be so much better if Nikki Cross was the leader...
October 28, 20204 yr comment_5930886 Wait a minute AEW didn't sign Thunder Rosa yet? I thought if they put her on ppv that for sure that would have happened.
October 28, 20204 yr comment_5930887 They are in the running but haven't officially signed her. Probably didn't want to step on Billy's toes while he was letting them use her on their show.

Considering the interview that Thunder Rosa gave recently about WWE only interested in signing her to be a referee, I seriously doubt she's gonna sign with WWE. They're gonna have to eat crow on this one as I fully expect Thunder Rosa to sign with AEW. Although Serena Deeb winning the NWA Women's World title tonight as a contracted AEW talent makes me believe that there's some sort of working relationship between AEW & NWA. Especially since Serena is defending the title already tomorrow on Dynamite.

Good for Deeb, she sure deserves some shine on her. 1 hour ago, Strummer said: There's been yet another covid outbreak at the performance center It would be comical if it weren't so sad.
