July 13, 20223 yr comment_5985820 So, I don't watch the show, but I have been following results for Roxanne Perez because I enjoyed her as Rok-C in her short time in RoH and was curious how WWE would use her. Anyway, can someone explain to me why in a show seemingly overloaded with heels anyway, they would turn her partner (who seemed to be over as a babyface) while they are holding the tag titles? Is this the standard wwe "all women are catty bitches" trope, swerves for the sake of swerves booking, or is there actually something that I would have missed only reading recaps that has lead up to this?
July 13, 20223 yr comment_5985822 I know this sounds conspiracy like but I am convinced that the WWE just wants to eliminate the idea of women's tag team championships. Regardless of main roster or NXT. At least for a year or so when they think people will forget about Sasha Banks. Maybe I am wrong and they will do something since they are still champions or there is a title change next week. Probably back to Toxic Attraction The idea of Cora Jade heel isn't that bad given how the crowd was starting to turn on her. but why put the title on them last week just to break them down THE NEXT WEEK. Just turn on her last week. Also I guess the main reason we learned why Cora doesn't ride a skateboard more than 5 feet is because the one she uses if just cheap plastic or paper with a couple wheels on it. If you are going to use it as a weapon maybe not use one that breaks before impact
July 13, 20223 yr comment_5985824 That has to be a gimmicked skateboard and not one she rode around on. Still, epic fail.
July 13, 20223 yr comment_5985826 It's what they do so I'm not going to overthink the creative decisions they make. Also I know someone in WWE has a subscription to IWTV to give A-Kid that dopey gimmick.

Yeah part of me watched that online and wished the ending of it was "But you can call me R.A.L.P.H" Yeah I watch too much of that streaming service
July 13, 20223 yr Author comment_5985833 When they showed the Axiom mask my first thought was "did Serpentico jump from AEW?"

Everyone blames him for that but it's been going strong in WWE for like nearly 30 years after he left.
July 13, 20223 yr comment_5985836 I'm on the fence regarding A-Kid's new gimmick. We still have to see how it goes outside of vignettes, but I fucking hated his name. What a great name. A-Kid. Oh, it's just A-Kid. Terrible.

July 14, 20223 yr Author comment_5985890 I guess they noticed that the blood matches in AEW pop numbers.
July 14, 20223 yr comment_5985891 Dolph Ziggler will become the number one bleeder in this country. Also this means Lesnar vs Reigns LMS will also be TV-14, right? Shiet.
July 14, 20223 yr comment_5985893 WWE: We still suck, but now we suck with cussing, blood and scantily clad women. Plus now with even MORE scatological non-humor!

July 14, 20223 yr comment_5985897 I actually expect Dolph to go that way at least once at some point. If they go forward with a feud against Theory, for instance.

There's no way they push the envelope that far this time, I don't imagine. Even though TV has become a lot less PG in general since the Attitude Era, I don't see a lot of that risque stuff flying now. People are too easily offended, and any kind of public backlash would screw with their stock price, and you know they're not having that. Besides, my main point in making that snide comment is that their creative is terrible right now in WWE. Adding a risque element isn't going to make the creative any better. It's just going to make it bad creative but with more swearing/booty shorts/whatever.

July 14, 20223 yr comment_5985902 WWE going to TV-14 because otherwise they can talk about Vince McMahon’s scandals on air.
July 14, 20223 yr Author comment_5985903 Apparently this is in part due to USA feeling the pressure of the Turner/Discovery networks coming at the "#1 in cable" title that the USA Network had so much pride in.
July 15, 20223 yr Author comment_5985912 Now the TV-14 era is being pushed back, seems like there's a tug of war going on. I would imagine USA is pushing for it for the reasons I stated above, and WWE probably doesn't really want to blow up all the work they've done getting respectable sponsors who were thinking they are still doing Attitude Era stuff in 2022.
July 15, 20223 yr comment_5985938 Just going to TV 14 doesn't mean they have to go back to Attitude Era/Ruthless Aggression era bawdiness. Like....WWE would be completely in control of that.
July 17, 20223 yr Author comment_5986008 It was pretty much just A Show. I'm getting caught up with everything this weekend, and the Heyman/Theory interaction made me think Paul E probably gave that same speech to about a dozen people in ECW back in the day.
