Lawler liked booking monster movie characters.

Wrestling today is too unrealistic. Fans want reality. Like knockoff movie monsters hanging out with Jerry Lawler and abiding by the rules of a traditional wrestling match.

The Young Bucks will never understand that kind of psychology.

The Miz was eaten by zombies like a month ago.

Alexa Bliss was possessed by...something?

Matt Hardy can teleport.

LOL What you tard? Heel Bayley has been 100x better than anything she's done! Jesus Christ just stop posting here already! You're opinions fucking suck.

The Young Bucks gimmick is literally "killing the business" and just doing what get pops. It's a really dumb gimmick and why I can't get into their matches.

Memphis sure did have some crazy shit...

I’m pretty sure this is the element of Memphis that is most maligned. Also, given that Freddy’s mask is on the line, they clearly aren’t trying to pass this off as the real Freddy. Is the work and psychology a bit shoddy? Sure. But today you’ll get wrestling promotions actually trying to pass someone off as a space alien or a witch.

And that was way more entertaining than AEW. And hey, the crowd there loved it. Isn’t that the metric by which we’re supposed to grade now?

Yes. Unironically. Because more people are cheering for Freddy in this studio than cheer for the average Flippy McHighspot in any arena. It's easy and difficult at the same time.

It's easy because, physically, you aren't killing yourself working shtick like this. A couple of soft bumps and that's it. A guy you want to see win vs a guy you want to see lose, it's not rocket science.

It's difficult because, in order to have a match like this, people have to give a shit about you. People don't care about you, they're gonna shit all over it. But if they care, you don't have to do much of anything to get the crowd behind you.

I mean, I cannot imagine going out of my way and Tweeting her about it, but I mean, they're not wrong....

How are they 'not wrong'

How is she responsible for another person's decision to drive while intoxicated?

I'm thinking it could be an opportunity to "press the reset button" on her character and have her return as a babyface. Or at least, one can hope.

What kind of a bottom barrel fantasy is this? Why would you want Bayley to regress?

wow... you're an idiot

So that's why summerslam negotiations fell through

Good for wrestlers no?

Supposedly WWE recently put out an internal mandate that Daniel Bryan is to be excluded from any future projects, such as the upcoming video game etc. Feels like a bit of a non-story given he's no longer under contract and it's pretty normal to cut released talent out of those things, but he's also been gone for two months and maybe they assumed he would've inked a new deal by now.

I'm still not holding my breath on him going anywhere but back to WWE whenever he decides to return to wrestling. But he's probably just enjoying his time off and getting to be a dad. Wouldn't be shocked if we don't see him resurface anywhere for a long while yet.

God Dammit! Droford!

Legit. Luckily i just look up the first 2 seasons of Survivor Series.

The best one was Ernest "The Cat" Miller with the whole James Brown-esque entrance complete with hype man Lamont. There's "getting your schtick in", and then there was that work of art, where Taz was trying to get JR to sing the song with him on commentary.

... unfortunatly, the segment doesn't appear to be on YouTube anymore [I was going to post it here]. Even worse, the places that have the song up refer to it as him using "Brodus Clay's theme" like The Cat didn't precede the guy by a few years.

No, he's just remembering the dream of SWITCHBLADE BAYLEY!

This makes me sad where it should be exciting as fuck.

Let me elaborate: a number of years ago, while these two were toiling in the undercard, they kept having these amazing yet throwaway classic matches that they honestly had zero right to have. I distinctly remember calling them "each other's Flair and Steamboat". They weren't even feuding. It was legit good shit with no impersonation of Vince in saying that. Absolutely magical stuff. With proper build to present both Dolph and Kofi as actual fucking stars, this could have been a holy shit, WrestleMania level main event match in-the-making.

Instead, I'm just reminded about how the company has dropped the ball on them both, each in different ways... and those matches took place I believe between the time Dolph got that bullshit 90 minute world title reign, and before Randy Orton called Kofi "stupid".

They both deserved better, and this would have been that treatment bearing fruit. Instead, folks won't care nearly as much as they could have if these guys were historically handled better.

To me as a male, if the roles are reversed and my wife is doing a job she loves, making loads of money, gaining lots of notoriety/fame, literally working with her family in her "family business" and she is constantly making the dumb ass decisions about drinking and driving, its ultimatum time.

The household makes plenty of money. No lack of discretionary income whatseoever. If you like to party and its manageable, that's cool. Just no driving there. Always UBER/taxi. Live in an area where there is not any available? I'll drop you off. I'm not available? Pay a neighbor kid to drop her off or arrange for a ride elsewhere.

I may not have explained that as well as possible, but if I love someone and they are making terrible decisions that effect our family, I feel responsible in helping to fix the situation

Yeah but you have no actual insight on how much she's tried to help him.

Same guy pointed out RAW after MITB usually gets a 10% increase in viewership so hopefully they take advantage of that and don't fuck it up...

Fightful reporting the July 23rd SD will have Cena on it to begin the Reigns/Cena feud for SummerSlam.
