Holy gently caress, she's so loving cool :allears:

For some reason this reminds me of the story Xavier Woods tells about going bowling in high school with some girl he had a crush on, young Cody Rhodes from his rival school who also knew the girl showing up, meeting Xavier and cheerfully dismissing him as any kind of rival before casually bowling a strike :lol:

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.




Eh, It felt more natural the first time, knowing WWE this will happen every match now running it into the ground. They can’t just let a single spot be good once without force feeding it into our loving faces.

It’s like Braun’s running tackle outside of the ring. It was cool the first time and now he has to unnaturally force it into every match forever and will take a decade off his knees. Same thing with Corbin’s slide to the outside where he runs back around the the corner. I hate Corbin but that was a cool spot, ONCE.

Yeah. Not gonna lie, but this feels kinda sketch. They weren't rigged last year according to Dave, but I can easily see them rigging the awards this year because it seems pretty likely Shayna is going to win the Rumble, and go on to face Becky at Mania. And they'll use that award as a way to boost her profile heading into Mania.

I honestly thought both Rhea and Io had a much stronger case to win that award, and they should have.

Yup, voting was definitely rigged this year.

For the first time, voting in the NXT Year-End Awards was extended to WWE Legends & Hall of Famers, the WWE Performance Center coaching staff, the media and USA Network, in addition to the fan votes cast by the NXT Universe on WWE.com and Twitter.

She was the champion of the division for pretty much the entire year, she pinned Charlotte and beat Becky at Survivor Series.

Her profile is not being raised by some dumb year end award.

Why even do a Dusty Classic when they have no tag teams? It's all the UK teams, TUE and Forgotten Sons, then a weird Riddle/Dunne mash-up and Kushida with an unknown partner.

i would assume because the other guys make a big deal of tag team wrestling, and also it's named after the dad of one of the guys on the other team so hunter likes to rub cody's nose in poo poo like that because he's a mega rear end in a top hat; cody also tried to trademark dusty rhodes to no avail

no they dont have the trademark, it got shot down because Dusty Rhodes and Dustin Rhodes are too similar, and Dustin already owns the trademark to his name

i mean to be fair, it is a tournament they've done since like 2015 but im just going to assign malice to triple h because he's a stupid fuckhead

Historically the Dusty classic has been a series of tag team matches that have tied into singles storylines.

I absolutely adored that line. Also thrilled that Alex Shelley is KUSHIDA's mystery partner though the fact it was announced for a graphic for next week's match only a week after the "mystery" was first brought up felt like a weird touch.

Keith Lee vs. Roderick Strong is gonna be real loving good. REAL loving good.
