So after all that, Young Boy Tom and Mauro wound up trading jobs. Whatever, I'm down. This just reinforces that NXT and NXT TakeOver is the best thing WWE produces by far.

You just know he's going to be screaming move names in Japanese and Spanish constantly without Vince in his ear, too. I kinda can't wait until TakeOver Brooklyn now.

There was some commentary segment after an episode where the show runners said something like "we loved this scene because it really showed Laura at her code and at her core she's really a dick."

Feels Villeneuve posted:I don't think that would be very dramatic because it would basically make the first match almost meaningless before the bell even rings. It's one of those "what if that could happen" things that are just bad ideas, like #28 and #29 in the Rumble throwing each other out and #30 automatically winning. It could work for a heel. Cheat and either win or get DQed. Get thrown into a "title changes hands on DQ" match, and he can still cheat and either (a) get away with it and win or (b) get DQed, lose the belt, beat the hell out of his opponent with a chair, cash in, and get the belt back. It would've been perfect for Edge.

Gatts posted:They still had a match, it was still whatever it was, just cause a guy pulls the breifcase down doesn't mean poo poo all cause it was a heel thing to do. If it was a guy pulling it down for Bailey I'd get it as if to say she couldn't do it herself but it's a face thing to prove themselves. The heels always have lackeys help them. Ellsworth is a second fiddle lackey to Carmella. Eh. It's a small deal cause there have been enough other matches and potential matches where they need to book the women better or can make them stand on their own feet. This was not that big of a disappointment to me at least. I can gloss over it. Treating women's wrestling with equal respect to the men does not mean you get to ignore the context of your storylines. Male wrestler A is a cowardly heel and has Any Gender Valet B retrieve the briefcase and drop it to them, and sure, we'd only be talking about their heelish behavior. (Although I should note, even in this scenario, this is a loving bad idea because it destroys any suspension of disbelief in the matches going forward if every heel doesn't enter these matches with every lackey they possibly have to back them up unless you're going to take some sort of corrective action to patch the loophole.) But when you do this with a woman wrestler with a male lackey, you're playing into an existing stereotype. You don't get to ignore that. It must be addressed somehow. And this doesn't mean that women heels with male valets have to turn face all of a sudden. If Ellsworth dumps Becky off the ladder and Carmella at least gets her own drat briefcase, that would have been fine. If Ellsworth puts her on his shoulders and helps her get the drat briefcase, that's fine. If Ellsworth causes a distraction so that she can sneak up and steal the briefcase, that's fine. All of that involves cheating to victory in a way that centers Carmella instead of Ellsworth, which is the thing the actual ending completely fails at.

Plus you have the fun stuff of Mike taking Maria's name, which both serves as shorthand in the macho world of WWE for him being "beneath" his wife, as well as suggesting that he's only employed because of who she is. I imagine they're going to be a lot of fun to hate

So I read about the time Daniel Bryan got a match called off with Randy Orton due to a stinger and I'm curious what the immediate reaction to it was, so I went digging into the archives. Turns out it was just about three years ago, and it was the same night as something else.  A raw thread with 60 pages is kinda surreal.

I got a good laugh after the debut of Maria and Mike looking at JBL's face when he said "he took her last name...". I'm probably reading too much into it, but I felt like a neutered JBL reeeaaaly wanted to say what he really thought about the whole situation.

The worst thing about the Ellsworth/Carmella thing is that WWE gave up on it two days after it happened, thus sacrificing some really easy heat that could have been used to propel a decent fued.

RealFoxy posted:I'm still not sure how Honma isn't a PR nightmare after the stuff with his wife/affairs came out. Chris Brown is still a star. There's in fact too many similar celebrity scandals for people who continue to be stars. Sean Penn kidnapped and tortured Madonna. The public is really willing to not give a poo poo, and while you'd think this applies less in wrestling with a live crowd, so much human filth is still beloved. Steve Austin beat his wife and everyone loves him, Shawn Michaels in the 90s, Hulk Hogan would be cheered, etc. etc. Niwrad posted:I'm dumb, could someone explain to me what the gimmick is for Maria and Mike? They're in love? Are they heels? They're in love and going to be jerks about it.

Soothing Vapors posted:When I was a baby lawyer I went to a luncheon with a bunch of old crusty state court judges. I saw my favorite judge alone at the buffet so I sidled up to him like a good little brownnoser and asked for tips on how to succeed as a lawyer. Without looking up from his crab dip, he said "marry a doctor" and walked away. Do you know Jerry Mcdevitt?
