I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

It wasn’t even that long ago people were getting super over for no reason, like when Fandango got super over for weeks because of a bored post WM crowd and they immediately ruined it

watching that CM Punk/Cena contract signing and #1 Contenders match made me realize how much they wasted both of them and their story line.

No joke probably my all time favorite match (tied with HBK/undertaker at Mania 25) simply because the amazing story telling that went into it followed up with an amazing match. It's insane that nothing they've done on the main roster has come close.

not having months to rehearse every detail of a match + Vince McMahon brain worms doesn't make for good matches, especially when the performance center is literally incapable of training people

They do like four house shows a week where they practice spots for big matches, it’s all basically just Vince and his producers laying out every breath in a match.

I loved the ending of the NXT 4-way where Sasha Banks won the title.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=um-3UZZ14nw

Sasha proved that she's smarter than every other submission specialist ever by figuring, "this person isn't tapping, but they're basically dead, so I'll just pin them."

Oh god this is so bad. Reigns nailed a good spear and big boot but his superman punch was craaaaaaaap.

Ziggler sold pretty well but this was watching Billy Gunn vs X-Pac. No heat, no stakes, just a blah few minutes.

2019: They year they gave Seth the ultimate rub of beating Lesnar for the belt not once, but twice, with the second being one of the cleanest most definitive losses Brock's had since returning to the company.

And they STILL end the year with Brock having one of the two major belts being an absentee champion and Seth's epic victories as a face rendered meaningless because they turned him three months after the second one after making him look like a huge pissbaby.

In fairness, WWE had very little hand in making Seth look like a huge pissbaby. He managed that just fine on his own.

They turned Seth because he was such an actual pissbaby that he ruined all the goodwill he had.

I mean I know Seth made himself look like a total schmuck on twitter, I just find it amazing the company let him beat Brock in a way they never even let Roman do clearly establishing him as Raw's megaface, then made him look like a stock horror movie victim against Bray and flipped him heel.

It's just so....maximum WWE in it's logic.

Judging from Mark Henry's suit wasn't that the same show where he was making this amazing heartfelt retirement speech, Cena comes out and says some really kind words, then Henry just MURDERS Cena tricking him to a massive crowd pop?

What a waste that NYE match must have been. Not only is it not being talked about, or GIFed on Reddit, but I can't even find out what happened from the thing like it just doesn't exist. Even WWE's YouTube page, which posts, everything, doesn't have the match.

On one hand, she does have a point. We shouldn't assume someone's sexuality. Someone people may be struggling, some people may know however want to keep it quiet, and some people may be open about it. Not our business.

On the other hand...wow, not only is the timing horrible but just the wording and the way it was written...I don't know if it's corporate social media talking through her or just...it just reads wrong and it still would even if it had been posted any other time.

It was 3 minutes and Reigns won, that's all you need to know. Calling it the bare minimum of something that could be aired there is only even a compliment because the alternative use of filling that time could have been "replaying the entire Brock/Kofi match exactly 18 times"

It was a dark match that they decided to record at the last minute to be apart of a bigger New Years celebration on Fox(? I think that's where it aired). I assumed it was done to drum up interest in the WWE from casual viewers without taking up to much airtime. The problem is that I can't think of a less interesting pairing you could use that Roman/Ziggler.

Should have done another empty arena match like Halftime Heat.
