I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

To go back to WWE draft talk:

I think the coolest/most entertaining thing that WWE did with is was the whole Heath Slater didn't get drafted saga.

It was fun. It showcased Slater. It got Rhyno back on TV with a fun tag team, and he got to be a drunk santa creeping out Renee Young one time which was funny.

But also because it had actual consequences. It was an ongoing storyline, (Heath needs a job), that got a good wrestler/character over. And had a crowd pleasing resolution, re Heath getting his job back and winning tag team gold.

I mean, look at this adorable man. How can you not love him?

Slater & Rhyno was one of the real highlights of that whole era. I still think about the "I GOT KIDS" shirt and titantron. Slater was so consistently funny as a goofy jobber and underdog. I'm surprised he isn't showing up in more places; I know he had the TNA run but I haven't really looked into what he's up to now otherwise.

Kevin Steen is a stand up family man and not a degenerate so he will never join the Punchsport Pagoda. Sami on the other hand…

He seems like a cool guy that somehow you just want to powerbomb over and over. With love of course.

It’s funny. I didn’t immediately join the Kenny Omega train but the first moment I saw Kevin Steen? That was my guy. Couldn’t even tell you why.

Also want to back up the Heath Slater love. Was always happy that one goon was a super fan. Heath ruled and could spin any gimmick into gold. Solid in the ring too. Hope he’s doing well.

I just watched that promo and it is funny. A lot of NXT promos are funny, intentionally or not. The wrestling is usually watchable too. It won't blow you away but it is silly. The nxt women's stuff looks like some of the Joshi stuff I've been watching clips of.

The stories, characters, and especially the dialog of the NXT women's division are all godawful but I do have to say that the booking is very good.

The most talented women are at the top of the card. The greener women get put in factions so they at least get some screen time and reps. Women that show improvement get pushed up the card (Lyra Valkeria and Thea Hale are two good examples). Also I wouldn't say that Ava is super talented but I do like that she is a no nonsense face GM.
