I saw Edge there, but it was definitely Christian who did most of the talking. Recognize that blue dot anywhere.

Ryback is such a fucking mark.

The other dude talking in the video later became "Just Joe" in the WWF (Joe E Legend)

Except that was very clearly not Christian.

WHAT A LEGEND

It was

"I'm just the messenger."

Fightful reports Charlotte was told to leave the building and Becky worked a dark match post SD. Vince was apparently livid Charlotte stormed out of gorilla without speaking to him after Becky/Charlotte's shouting match.


Honestly, more interesting than anything happening onscreen in the 'E.

Sounds like it was Charlotte's fault...she didn't think WWE was being fair to Flair and she didn't want to do the title exchange segment so she changed the segment live from what was scripted and said she didn't mean to 'drop the belt'...TalkSport reporting Lynch has had heat with Flair for a few years since Flair got mad about about Becky making fun of her previously enormous fake breasts a few years ago...

I'd be mad about people making fun of my looks too if I was Charlotte. After all the money she has paid for plastic surgeries and enhancements to come out of it looking infinitely worse has to be aggravating af on it's own without everyone pointing it out.

Also funny she thinks the WWE is making her look weak when she's a 14 time champion lol. No one else even close to that. They've set her up as the final boss and ultimate foil to any other champion for YEARS now. Her ego is getting too big and now she is going to act like a whiny baby about it. Oh well, guess she can tie daddys record over in AEW.

she is just looking for a way to go to aew

To be fair, just because a company puts a loads of belts on you doesn’t mean they’re booking you right. That being said, AEW can have her. It won’t matter. Nothing there matters.

Oh I agree they are booking her wrong. But making her look weak? That's laughable. She's by far booked stronger than any other woman in the fed and has been ever since she got called up.

It's the best for both companies honestly. AEW gets a wrestler far better than anyone else in their division, WWE gets rid of the queen of ego and makes her the competitions problem.

She didn’t say “fuck this company” and walk out when they had her follow up ending Asuka’s streak by jobbing clean to Carmella the next month. I can’t imagine it’s gotten worse than that.

^ I'm not sure anyone would have blamed her for leaving after that lol

Why does our Lord like to suck on Noid's lil pink pizza?

YUEHSHSHHSH

Don’t disagree with that. I’ve always heard her gripes have been with booking (Ric Flair leaving). I don’t think she’s been made to look weak.

If there was hall of fame for bad booking decisions that would seriously have to be one of the first inductees. I mean all-time. It was that bad.

I think she lost to Carmella twice, didn't she?

Oh yeah. Carmella cashed in her MITB on her and then they had a rematch and Carmella beat her... FUCKING CLEAN. Lol

And again this was the immediate follow-up to Charlotte beating Asuka via submission at WrestleMania to retain the title and end the “longest undefeated streak in WWE history”.

Mind blowing.

Charlotte beating Asuka was fine. Carmella beating Charlotte was not.

Wait, women wrestle?

I love ragging on AEW, but they have the similar problem to WWE right now. They’ve only got a few good moments that go to highlight how terrible the rest of the show is. With Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns being the best story in pro-wrestling, it only goes to show people what they are going to miss. I think SmackDown is going to see a pretty notable drop with Brock being gone until the Royal Rumble.

What else do they have on SmackDown? They haven’t got anything ready for when Brock isn’t there. Drew is talented, but he’s not going to have the same dynamic as Brock in that program. And what heels are there for him to beat? They kind of need someone to come out of nowhere.

I guess they do Raw vs. SmackDown at this time of year. I don’t think Big E is ready to throw himself at the feet of Reigns in that program though. And I don’t think people care about Raw vs. SmackDown enough.

This fucking roster split, man. And their inability to generate interest in things outside that top program. The guys coming out of Crown Jewel with the most firepower are Edge and Goldberg. They don’t have dates on Goldberg and Edge and Reigns has been done, plus Edge is on Raw anyway.

Roman is going to be magnificent gloating about Brock being gone. But who can really step into that program with him? They need to get their head out of their asses and iron this shit out so there can be some flow.

The only thing I can recommend is either doing Big E and Roman as captains of respective teams. That way you might be able to build some faces and heels up alongside them. Big E being opposite Xavier Woods might actually be interesting. Drew can be there butting heads with Roman. Edge can be unhinged on the Raw side. Maybe that can be interesting enough with cross-pollination or promos on each side.

The other idea would be for Roman to deny Big E’s challenge...unless he ups the ante. You think you can hang with The Big Dog? Actually put your belt on the line. Winner takes all. Now that Brock is gone I’m taking over Raw too. Title for title might actually keep some people engaged. You can have Kofi & Woods backing Big E’s cause on SmackDown.

I dunno. The best thing I can say about the WWE’s direction right now is that I’m morbidly curious to see what they pull out of their asses. I suppose the Roman/Big E stuff will be pretty pedestrian and the rest of the card looks like:

* Edge, Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley and...maybe Rey Mysterio, Keith Lee, Kevin Owens or AJ Styles against Drew McIntyre, Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston, Sheamus and Jinder Mahal or Sami Zayn. I hate the heels and faces all working together, but you just know they will put all the arch-nemeses on the same side. I’d prefer a heel team from Raw AND a face team from it where they can all get competitive with each other and maybe do their own televised Survivor Series matches.

* Becky vs. either Sasha or Charlotte, depending on how things go with Charlotte. At least that’s interesting now.

* A women’s elimination match.

* Happy Corbin vs. Damian Priest, so Priest can beat a heel.

* RKBro vs. The Usos

* A tag team Survivor, which may be something like Street Profits, AJ & Omos, Rey & Dominik, Ziggler & Roode and Alpha Academy against Hit Row, Viking Raiders, Jinder & Shanky, Nakamura & Boogs and...fuck maybe New Day or The Bar. Is there another team I’m forgetting? Wait, Garza & Carrillo.

I guess it could be solid from an in-ring. I dunno.

Putting together face vs. heel teams, leaving guys open for tag team clutter.

Drew, Kofi, Xavier, Cesaro & Jeff Hardy from SmackDown to go against Seth, Bobby Lashley, Shelton, Cedric & Austin Theory or Karrion Kross from Raw. Probably Theory.

Edge, Balor, Owens, Keith Lee &... I’m drawing blanks here. John Morrison? Veer? Fuck. To go against Sami Zayn, Sheamus, Ridge Holland...I give up.

It’s going to be Edge, Seth, Balor, Bobby & AJ against Drew, Kofi, Xavier, Sheamus & Jinder, isn’t it? Maybe they expand it to include Owens & Zayn on their sides, and maybe Theory & Hardy as well.

Yeah, it'll be down to the "usual" heavily-featured ppl.

2022 PPV schedule so far:

Saturday, Jan. 1 – Day 1 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta
Saturday, Jan. 29 – Royal Rumble at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis

Glad to see the bigger shows going to Saturdays. Saturday is just a better night for wrestling than Sunday.

SummerSlam in July? What is this about?

Being rebranded The Great American Summer Fest.

Actually, considering WWE’s show lengths, It’ll probably be mid-August by the time the main event rolls around.

The Great American Pumpkin Spice Series, brought to you by Shittles, taste the asshole.

Well....you could call it that..sort of.
