"Tee hee hee! All she knows in Engrish are the swear words!" The fuck outta here. This would possibly be passable if she worked like Jazz in her prime and is just acting like a goofball. If "cute but irreverent" is all she got, I'd rather just watch porn: just as cute, more entertaining, and less sparkly clothing in the way.

The only thing I can say is at least she isn't dangerous like Eva Marie, and that is the faintest and only praise I can possibly give here.

I can't even get behind this ironically.

Seems something major went down this past week affecting WWE's Mania tickets plans since they went from wanting around 45,000 fans for each night of Mania 37 to going right back to their original goal of 25,000 instead for each night.

Emperor Smeat 03-17-2021 05:14 PM

According to Fightful, the reason why Charly Caruso didn't show up on recent episodes of RAW and RAW Talk is due to her currently having backstage heat within WWE.

For the past two episodes of Raw Talk, Kevin Patrick has stepped in as the host with R-Truth in place of Caruso.

Nothing official yet but it seems as if Braun vs Shane is off the fastlane card. Any mention of the match has been pulled from the fastlane page on wwe.com.

I'd be fine with it in a dark match or "Saturday Morning Slam" but it's very dumb to be on any serious programming.

Watching '82 Mid South and Tully Blanchard just beat Coco Samoa with a regular suplex.
Classic Watts.

JYD's intro tune was funky as shit.
Not sure if that was dubbed over but it sounded good whatever it was.

Apparently Karrion Kross is one of those QAnon type wackos based on a recent photo of him and Drake Wuertz.

Now the question is was he one of those wackos before joining WWE or did he get brainwashed after hanging around Wuertz one too many times backstage in NXT.

Probably a dub. I'm pretty sure JYD used Another One Bites The Dust in the territories

Outside of Bryan vs. Kofi and the women's 1st ever main event ending via a botched ref count, don't really remember much off the top of my head about that show.

Also the show going on way too long that it led to a lot of people having problems getting back home via public transportation.

PWI currently speculating Smackdown could potentially be moved to Thursdays in the near future due to FOX losing the rights to Thursday NFL games once the new NFL tv contracts kick in.

The basis involves the idea that Thursdays are a better night for ratings than Fridays and it would be an easy way for FOX to boost SD's weekly viewership numbers.

It should also be noted that FOX's strategy for Smackdown was, in part, to have it lead in to its sports programming on the weekends so it very well could stay put. Smackdown has drastically increased viewership on Fridays since its debut the Network may decide to just leave things as they are and not upset the apple cart.

Fadeouts between matches on Peacock are annoying...

sort of hilarious WM are listed as seasons now....I remember attending WrestleMania season 32 episode 1 in person...

That was a kinda meh season premiere.

Emperor Smeat 03-19-2021 02:34 AM

WWE would be way better off if they really did structure their shows around an actual seasonal format with Mania acting as the season finale every year.

Would make the Road to Mania builds a lot more focused and/or better in terms of quality than their current trend in recent years where they somehow manage to get more lazier with builds every year.

Mania 30 was probably the last time WWE had a really good Road to Mania build and that was the result of them stopping dragging their feet with Bryan's Mania build since the fan outcry was too much for them to keep ignoring. Mania 35 had a similar problem until they changed direction with how they were handling the Kofi and Becky builds.

He didn't contract the virus but is being kept under quarantine as a precaution although details regarding his situation are also being kept as a secret from most in the company.

I was there and barely remember it. A 10 minute nothing of a match, though I don't think Roman was at a point yet where he could go all out.

The energy in the building peaked at Kofi vs. Bryan, and never recovered after that. There were still six more matches to go and everyone felt ready to go home.

Probably since the next TakeOver in a couple of weeks is a two night show.

If it was a regular one-night 5 match show, NXT could get away with not having a Tag title match to give Burch more time to heal. Also would give them more time to work on some real contingency plans for the belts and not rush things like how they handled the debut of the Women's Tag belts.

Seems Charly Caruso had a lot more backstage heat than previously known.

Besides her being late recently for scheduled interview segments for RAW that led to her being pulled off of tv as punishment, seems she wasn't a pleasant person to hang around backstage in recent weeks.

Charly Caruso does also work with ESPN so she won’t be completely out of work upon her WWE duties ending. WWE brought in Kevin Patrick as her replacement.

She does know Tony Khan so a potential move to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is a possibility too.

It’s no wonder interviewers get burned out in WWE. None of the TV interviews are actually interviews. An interview is meant to be more like a back and forth conversation.

You say “my guest at this time”, ask them one question, then they cut a promo and walk away.

It also doesn't help that WWE's style these days is for them to all act in the same stiff or robotic-like way meaning none of them really stand out like someone like Mean Gene back in the day.

Only time they get to show any real personality is on the RAW Talk and Talking Smack shows that WWE is more hands-off with.

Very true. They're only hamstrung by the lack of TV coverage.

Personally, the only way I can watch the show is if I'm at work on a particular night (which I usually am) and because I work overnight. There is nothing on my home cable system that carries a channel that airs it, and the one at work only has that shitty timeslot.
