June 10, 20223 yr comment_5983369 It seems like unifying the titles wasn't as great an idea. At least if there are two titles, one of them can still be defended on house shows or PPV's if the other person is out.
June 10, 20223 yr Author comment_5983370 Yeah, Roman missing three PREMIUM LIVE EVENTS in a row is some fuck shit. What worries me the most is that he ain't even making TV. Hope there is something tonight. Also: LETS GO

Lacey might actually be good now? What the fuck? Big Chinese characters projected in hologram, comes out in a coolie and robe, swings a bo around and does martial arts moves. If somebody did that in the territory days, people looking back would say how cringy and stereotypical it was.
June 11, 20223 yr Author comment_5983396 Oh shit Ronda calling out Nattie's super shitty sharpshooter
June 11, 20223 yr comment_5983398 The real way to madness is trying to imagine how, in kayfabe, the format of these shows would be intended to work. Shotzi and Ronda can just decide to have a match? What was the original plan to be happening right now?

IIRC she does have legit martial arts experience in kung fu and kickboxing, so it's not like she's an amateur who got the gimmick based on her nationality. It is a thin line between highlighting someone's culture and being stereotypical about it, but so far it has mostly been played straight. 1 minute ago, Embrodak said: The real way to madness is trying to imagine how, in kayfabe, the format of these shows would be intended to work.

Either Adam Pearce is thanking the heavens that the wrestlers are doing his job for him, or the production crew is going "fuck yeah we don't have to pad out the show now".

Ronda does jiu jitsu and comes out in a leather jacket and skirt. I’m not saying the whole gimmick is racist, and to be charitable, one could say they’re going for a Raiden in Mortal Kombat thing, but idk, it’s a bad look. this match is surprisingly aight though.
June 11, 20223 yr Author comment_5983402 This crowd is giving Nattie a lot, man. They are on fire tonight.
June 11, 20223 yr Author comment_5983403 OH MY GOD I can't wait until GOONTHER says DIE RICOCHET DIE is just him speaking in German. It's The Ricochet, The!
June 11, 20223 yr comment_5983406 Super happy to see Gunther with the belt, him versus Cody after Cody dethrones Roman will whip.
June 11, 20223 yr comment_5983408 I really don’t like Riddle’s gimmick, but I actually think him versus Reigns would kinda rock.
June 11, 20223 yr Author comment_5983409 Reigns vs Riddle would absolutely stomp, and it does have a wildcard in Sami Zayn which could justify a title change or a rematch.
June 11, 20223 yr Author comment_5983410 SmackDown HUMPED. Basically everything felt like it served a purpose.

Even if MK is racist, which it is? Im not throwing the racist tag on a wrestling character of a video game bad ass. It's a bad ass martial artist with lightning effect, who was the babyface in this living room. No one cares that Lacey had it bad. She's a heel.
