I’m just getting around to WOR now and while I’m sure the main event last night was very very bad, it seems weird to me how bothered Dave was by the fact that they made Miz look like a geek. I feel like he should know that the whole point of the segment was to feed someone to the monster champion and then segue into the Bryan thing. I dunno, maybe I’m nitpicking and I’m FAR from a WWE defender but at the end of the day it’s just Miz who cares, y’know?

If you want to feed someone to Wyatt that's one thing, but don't make it incredibly personal story where the babyface needs to defend his family...... And fails miserably. Like if it was Bray spooks him, faces him in match, wins easily, it wouldn't have been such a problem. And listening to the granny segment last night was sad to hear in such detail how fake news so easily works on old people  Thankfully it's still funny to hear her been annoyed at them not understanding her incomprehensible notes.

I like Bryan and Vinny and Craig and Dave and most of the F4W/WOR crew Still, I think Bryan is a bit unfair to Wyatt. He was as receptive to The Fiend as he was to Cactus Jack vs. Mick Foley. He refuses to buy into the kayface split personality stuff. Cactus is not the same as Mankind and Fiend is not he same as Wyatt. The story says it's something new and most of the fans are okay with that so I don't mind. Granted, I legit like Bray and always have. I think he works in spite of WWE writing more than because of it , though. His resurgence here after they ruined him shows he can get the crowd into his character and matches. Him and Daniel Bryan got them energized at the last PPV. I didn't see TLC though. I'm sue it did suck.

I... uh... weirdly hope he's just sexist because a weak handshake is horrifying to my Texan rear end and I don't like when wrestlers are hurt.

I Before E posted:Counterpoint: it's hilarious to watch Miz get owned, or at least to think about Miz getting owned Agreed, but somehow WWE has him as a face. It's so much nicer when he's a heel and we can laugh at his douche face. Related: WWE's inability to do face turns and make likeable faces continues to be awful. People suddenly go from unlikable heels to unlikable faces. Elias is a face now? Claiming Bayley asked Santa for a threesome with Elias and Sasha? Did she at least deny it and call him a pig? I know she beat up Dana for laughing, at least.

Mr. Rogers Bray just does Fiend poo poo whenever he wants and his character is fully aware of it. There's no meaningful distinction between the personalities

Especially with approach of "why weren't Kairi and Charlotte not communicating?" when a) KAIRI IS CONCUSSED AS gently caress and b) Kairi actually did communicate. She didn't bump for the spear and didn't go up for the power bomb and tapped Charlotte repeatedly on the shoulder to try to get her to stop.

Hated Dave spitting truth about how working over a body part almost never matters after Bryan made a really good point about how WWE matches are boring. He was right but Bryan was righter.

As an actual wrestler he probably knows what he's talking about here. Especially one who is paranoid about bumps and shots to the head and never wants to take any risks.

the handshake thing has been a running gag all through wrestling for 40 years. Dudes only do that to each other because they're loving with them. Like pretending to suck each other's dicks. its high comedy in wrestling circles. Like the whole introducing yourself to everyone in the lockerroom thing(a funny gag often used on newbs), its taken a life of its own divorced from its origins.
