January Results:
Smackdown 1/1 | Raw 1/4 | NXT 1/6 | Smackdown 1/8 | Raw 1/11 | NXT 1/13 | Smackdown 1/15 | Raw 1/18 | NXT 1/20 | Smackdown 1/22 | Raw 1/25 | NXT 1/27 | Smackdown 1/29 | Royal Rumble 1/31

WWE In December:
  • Multiple memorials played for Pat Patterson during the start of December.
  • Vince McMahon let a fart squeak lose, flew into a rage and declared that Keith Lee doesn't know how to work.
  • The Forgotten Sons returned, with Jaxson Ryker now a roadie/fan of Elias, while the other two whose names nobody remembers are henchmen of Baron Corbin's.
  • NXT held their annual War Games event. Xia Li and Boa got tortured in a warehouse somewhere throughout the whole month.
  • Smackdown Women's Champion Sasha Banks is feuding with Carmella, instead of Bayley. Carmella.
  • To prevent continual interference by Jey Uso, Kevin Owens got a shot at Universal Champion Roman Reigns in a steel cage match, but lost due to interference by Jey Uso.
  • Karrion Kross, who vacated the NXT title due to injury, returned to action. In the time he was gone, there was one NXT title match by champion Finn Balor, who himself was injured but just kept the belt and didn't do any shows while it healed.
  • Ricochet, having lost a match to Mustafa Ali, vowed to fight his way through the rest of Retribution to get to Ali. He proceeded to lose every singles match against every male member of Retribution, then lost another match to Ali.
  • WWE is trying to trademark "The Collective" as a wrestling term, despite GCW using it for years.
  • WWE determined that a match they called "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" was the third best wrestling match of the year.
  • Cedric Alexander is starting to cause problems in The Hurt Business, stealing the limelight, over-celebrating etc. He and Shelton Benjamin did however win the Raw Tag Titles from The New Day.
  • Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae have a new faction called My Way.
  • Leon Ruff, determined not to be treated as a joke/fluke champion, lost the NXT North American Title clean to Johnny Gargano and lost every match after that except for, bizarrely, a win over Timothy Thatcher.
  • BIG E ended the month/year defeating Sami Zayn to become the new Intercontinental Champion.
  • The Miz cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase, lost the match, then got the Money in the Bank briefcase just given back to him a couple of weeks later.
  • Randy Orton defeated Bray Wyatt in a "Set your opponent on fire match". The commentators were shocked when Randy set his opponent on fire (twice). He ended the year supposedly preparing to do the same to Alexa Bliss.
  • The culmination of a months long angle involving Lana getting put through a table by Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler ended with... Charlotte Flair becoming tag team champions with Asuka? Lana wasn't even in the building or shown on camera during the title match.
  • Raw, which hit an all time record low third hour last month, hit an all-time record low entire show in December. Since 2017, Raw has dropped from an average viewership of 3.018 million to 1.880 million in 2020. The 2019 average was 2.418 million.
  • The major story for all American wrestling in December was the sudden, unexpected death of Jon Huber - known best to wrestling fans as either Brodie Lee or, as he was known in WWE, Luke Harper - due to non-COVID related lung issues. It was a tragedy, but it was heartwarming to see wrestlers from all promotions, including WWE, speak up with love and respect for a beautiful man who loved his family with all his heart.

Thread title (current "MSK - Nash Carter and Wes Lee."):

A tag team called The Rascalz, featuring Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz, are now called MSK and their names are Wes Lee and Nash Carter. No reason or explanation was given for this change.

Thread title (orignal "a swirling vortex of crap. A pivotal moment of balls being punched."):

Spiderdrake posted:

Seth isn't even the worst part.

He was feuding with Baron Corbin in his denny's waiter garb, who brought in Lacey Evans as ref for... Some reason. Becky didn't get involved til Lacey punched Seth in the balls then they kept the feud going with Corbin/Evans vs Becky/Seth before hotshotting the Belt on and off Brock since they had to use up his cash in. The cash in he won by simply walking into a mitb match, doing zero work and just taking it as the 9th man.

Then Brock just squashed Kofi in eight seconds anyway to completely belittle everyone involved. MITB, the titles, Brock, the champs including Becky, everything looked like poo poo. It's like a swirling vortex of crap with a pivotal moment of balls being punched. Always with the balls punching. It's a perfect encapsulation of how lovely WWE is.

I can't even remember the last time AEW did a balls punch. I feel like they have somewhere in the pandemic but it wasn't a pivotal moment in a title match!

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

  • Roman opened the show, but was interrupted by Kevin Owens who declared he was going to demand a match with Jey Uso.
  • Intercontinental Champion BIG E vs. Baron Corbin in a non-title match ended by DQ when Sami Zayn on guest commentary attacked BIG E. Apollo Crews came to BIG E's aid. The match, one of only two advertised, went a couple of minutes.
  • BIG E and Apollo defeated Baron Corbin and Sami Zayn in a tag match, after Corbin walked out on Sami Zayn.
  • Backstage, Kevin Owens demanded Adam Pearce give him a match against Jey Uso.

Imagine going back to 2014 and telling people that Daniel Bryan will be wrestling Shinsuke Nakamura on Smackdown and absolutely nobody will give a flying gently caress

Orange Carlisle
Jul 14, 2007

Nakamura is one of the saddest cases of wasted talent for me personally because before he hit WWE I had heard how amazing he was so I went back and watched some of his stuff and was incredibly impressed and wondered how they'd translate his unique personality and cool movements to WWE and as it turns out the answer is they never will
