A look at Impacts new titles, I think they should have used the X on the side plate of the X Division title as the centerpiece. The X just looks better. They really love that owl though, which doesn't look bad on the World Title but the Tag Team titles have 2 owls and that might have been a bit overboard.

Feels like Impact unveil new belts every six months.
|
New belts look alright, although they all look pretty much the same, hard to tell them apart without studying them.

Roman Reigns indicates he would like to face Daniel Bryan at WM35. The goal is to progressively get a more hostile reaction each year apparently lol
https://www.iwnerd.com/roman-reigns-...estlemania-35/ |
The Rock ended up confirming rumors that he was the original tag partner for Ronda Rousey for Mania 34. WWE had talks with him around 2 months ago to see if he could be at Mania and when that wasn't possible, Angle became Ronda's partner instead.
Quote:

It would have been much better if it was The Rock instead of Angle.
It also would have made much more sense too. |
I guess that would also explain why the build-up to the match felt rushed and was generally pretty poor.

Judging by house show cards looks like Braun vs Baron Corbin and Elias vs Lashley might be upcoming feuds.

Looks like Ronda's going to be building up her skills on the european tour.
She's against Mickie james in matches on May 16-19. i have a feeling she's going to be big for the long term. Kurt Angle did say that Ronda has picked up on Wrestling quicker than he did. |

Something I just realized about Triple H's 2000: He was in gimmick match upon gimmick match that year. I'm not really high on Triple H, because I just feel that his importance is a retroactive construction by a WWE, and that it's a myth that should really be contested. It irks me so much. It was the Attitude era. It was crazy, woo -- I get it. I am probably being far too cerebral in trying to assassinate Triple H like this. But it's just something I didn't realize until just looking at the cards for 2000 (considered the WWF's best year, commercially and often critically):
* Street Fight against Cactus Jack at the Royal Rumble. Mick Foley bends over backwards trying to get the new heel champion over. * Hell in a Cell at No Way Out against Cactus Jack, with Jack's career on the line. A gimmick on top of a gimmick. Mick Foley again doing his best to make sure Triple H is in top heel form in time for WrestleMania. * Four-way for the gold at Mania. Rock, Big Show and Foley also there. A McMahon in every corner. Another case of a gimmick on top of the gimmick. * Shane McMahon as special guest referee against Rock at Backlash; Vince and Steph allowed at ringside; "Austin will be there! Austin will be there!"; Rock's still chasing. * Iron Man at Judgment Day against Rock. * Multi-man tag where the belt can change hands at KOR. * Last Man Standing at Fully Loaded. * Triple Threat at SummerSlam. * No DQ with Mick Foley as special guest referee at Unforgiven; Stephanie makes her decision. * No DQ against Austin at Survivor Series. * Multi-man Cell at Armageddon. Triple H's one straight one-on-one wrestling match in 2000 on PPV was against Chris Benoit, who was arguably the best wrestler in the company at that point. Could this have been means to "protect" Triple H, or am I looking too far into it? I mean some of them arguably hurt the card, but you can't deny there is always some sort of effort to "fluff-up" the Triple H match and make things interesting from a layman's perspective. |

But it isn't just her timing with Allie. It seems like her timing as a whole isn't the best. But I haven't seen anything of her when she apparently acted "normal", which is why I said I don't know if she is trying to live her gimmick too much and it's fucking up her ring work, or if she needs more practice with competent women to shore that up, of if she is just ass and we're seeing her at peak performance. I'm hoping it's one of the first two and not the third, because I'd like to see more. And yeah, Rosemary seems like the likeliest of collisions, but is one of those "believe it when I see it" things, since this is what's left of TNA we're talking 'bout. If it were WWE, I'd say it would be because of bad booking, but with these guys, I would say the "obvious" prob'ly wouldn't even cross anyone's minds until Rosemary leaves for NXT or Su takes a leave due to pregnancy or something. |

* He was in the Royal Rumble. * Wrestled Big Show at No Way Out. There was a stipulation, but it was a straight-forward match. * Was in the four-way with Triple H at Mania. * Was in the special ref with Triple H at Backlash. * Was in the Iron Man with Triple H at Judgment Day. * He was in the six-man with Triple H at KOTR. * He wrestled Chris Benoit in a straight-forward match at Fully Loaded. * He was in the Triple Threat with Triple H at SummerSlam. * He was in a four-way at Unforgiven. * He wrestled Kurt Angle in a No DQ match at No Mercy. * He wrestled Rikishi in a straight-forward match at Survivor Series. * Hell in a Cell with Triple H and the gang at Armageddon. So The Rock was in 3 singles matches out of 11 opportunities to do that in 2000, versus Triple H's 1 out of 12. I just find it interesting. It came up when I was discussing Triple H's enhanced retroactive significance in the Attitude era. 2000 is considered his glory year, and he did some really fine work during it, don't get me wrong, but I do find it interesting the bells and whistles he got, and that he wasn't a more significant draw than Chris Benoit that year. |

Did he really say "Silence your cell phones. Unless you have a Cricket Wireless plan. Then, by all means, do your thing."?
lol |
The WWE have always brought talent out at business summits and it's always made me think how weird/awkward it must be for the talent to come out in character to a sea of business suits that just sit and stare at you and not give you any reaction other than an occasional smile or chuckle, if you're lucky.

I also don't get the Cricket Wireless joke, but I know that's because I'm not American.

Triple H wants world domination.
|
Bit surprised Australia isn't part of their plans since that's been speculated to be getting a UK-like revival happening within the near future.
Would be cheaper and less competition to deal with if WWE got involved now than after the rumored revival happens. Right now think the only major promotion having a base there is NJPW but that was only done very recently. |
A closer look at that map and I can see that Triple H has apparently conquered North Korea.
|
That's probably what Mike Pompeo was talking to Kim Jong-un about.

Jinders' botch was so much worse than the Titus botch.

I was at work when the GRR was on and couldn't watch, but could only listen to a reaction livestream from a podcast I listen to. One of the guys said "wait...did he just eat shit?" and then went on about how funny it was and how they showed the replay a million times. I said "man im gonna watch it when I get home, it can't be THAT funny...."
I was wrong. it was funnier. My man went UNDER the ring lmaoooo |
Not too surprisingly it was Vince's decision to play it over and over, and he gave Titus a big handshake and pat on the back, PAL.

The only lasting memorable moments of Titus prior to this have also been botches so I don't think it's really going to do him any damage or lower his stock.
They even tried to give him the record of fastest royal rumble elimination one time but he botched it and got stuck on the top rope. That's the epitome of Titus "Make it a win" O'Neil. |
Thinking about it more now and Titus should actually be thankful that it happened when it did.
If his trip had happened at any other televised event, that side of the ring would have been an LED screen and the outcome would not have been good at all. |

Apparently the main reason why Batista left the WWE was due to him being fed up with not being allowed to have the same acting opportunities Cena kept getting. Similar to everything involving the Cena Era, WWE only cared about Cena and wanted nobody else to upstage him or get any major roles in films.

Batista seems like a really cool guy. Like he has a good head on his shoulders.
