The whole angle rebuilding Backlund up as a loon, having him put it on non-wrestlers & not let go & then culminating in him regaining the WWF Championship by beating Bret Hart of all people was awesome to me. I feel like I'm on the other side of the coin where I prefer when the finish is a Submission. I grew up watching the likes of The Iron Sheik, Sgt. Slaughter, Rick Martel, Greg Valentine, Ric Flair, Sting, Bret Hart, etc. Of course I loved moves like the DDT, or Savage's Elbow or Snuka's Splash but there was something about a Submission breaking people that I enjoyed. Then Taz came along in ECW & I started seeing people tapout. I was hooked. I always thought submission victories were more impressive because you're literally forcing your opponent to concede defeat to the pain you're causing them. I remember in the Bret/Lawler kiss-my-foot match that Lawler hangs on a few seconds longer than you'd expect in the Sharpshooter, which really put over him desperately not wanting to lose but ultimately being unable to stand the pain.
March 12, 20214 yr comment_5942288 Good news if true. Fingers crossed they accept. Not sure it's likely they will but I'd love to see him elsewhere.

March 12, 20214 yr Author comment_5942294 Andrade leaving would be a pity. I thought he was on the sidelines due to injury but it seems he has recovered. But then again, dude has talent to spare and can thrive elsewhere.
March 12, 20214 yr comment_5942296 I don't see WWE granting him a release, he's too talented and they are way too petty. Unless something changed super recently, he is still with Charlotte, her social media was full of photos of them together.
March 13, 20214 yr Author comment_5942312 I would absolutely buy Jey Uso as a WWE Champ. Roman is truly a star maker.
March 13, 20214 yr Author comment_5942315 BOMBASTIC 8-man tag! I mean, you get quality talent such as The Mysterios, Alpha Academy and Street Profits, you are obviously gonna get a good match. Roode and Ziggler were there!
March 13, 20214 yr comment_5942324 It will be interesting to see what happens since officially WWE turned down Andrade's request for a release like everyone expected. If the person he was in a relationship was literally anyone else. Vince would be pressuring her into breaking up with him and doing angles just to fuck with them. Charlotte's not adverse to using a "that doesn't work for me brother" on his behalf, I seem to recall one of the brand drafts got reshuffled slightly to keep them together. Not that she should be obligated to go all out like Lawler did when The Kat got fired, but she's someone who could take a stand if she felt the need to.

Can we put Montez Ford on the list of top frog splashes? Dude nearly leaps out of frame every time he does it.
March 13, 20214 yr comment_5942328 I don't usually like WWE skits like this, but Nia and Reggie shopping while Shanya is looking like she wants to choke herself out due to boredom had me rolling.

It's a very different situation than let's say Aleister Black found himself when they fired Zelina Vega. Vince pretty much sees him as expendable and will be perfectly content with keeping him in catering until the end of his contract. But in this situation, I'm not sure if Vince's pettyness is worth pissing off the golden goose of his women's division and risks that she bolts out of the company in protest (as far as I know, didn't Ric Flair say a few months ago that Charlotte had garnered more and more interest for TV acting gigs?)...Gonna be interesting to see how Charlotte Flair handles this in the next couple of weeks, as she had admittedly pitched the idea of putting her and Andrade together.

Man, they should do more of that. Reggie being always thirsty and backflipping his way onto some coochie is quality television.
March 13, 20214 yr comment_5942394 I think all parties involved would be better off if they started putting Nia into more skits like that and stopped putting her in matches with other people for her to accidentally fuck them up.
