Those people are all dead now

Bryan making GBS threads on Ronda getting pinned and not tapping out while Dave kind of defending defends it is hilarious. Dave half-heartedly defending the idea because it’s almost certainly from his source, Heyman, even though he doesn’t fully agree with it. This is why WO/F4W is worth $11, hook that poo poo into my veins. Does Dave not smarten Bryan up to that stuff, or what? Bryan totally ranting about how stupid something that Dave’s buddy dreamt up is gold.

The Ronda finish was a classic Vince trying to have his cake and eat it too finish. Rather than do one thing really well, it did three things poorly. Heyman could certainly have scripted it but this was exactly the kind of thing Vince would have chosen.

Dave's been describing the internal discussions on Ronda tapping for a month. The half-hearted defense has been really funny next to his complete 180 on the threeway where his source made an unassailable business case for why it shouldn't be Ronda vs. Becky.

If the crucifix pin was the planned finish, another problem was that all three women have submission finishers and there was no effort made into giving them additional big signature moves to get hot near falls off of to make the roll-up less cold.

Which made it all the weirder when people said they couldn't believe he was reporting it was going to be the match, even though he'd pointed out numerous times that he couldn't believe it either but everybody he asked kept telling him it was the case so what else COULD he report?

He and Bryan are constantly surprised by poo poo the company does*, I can't comprehend why everyone thought This One was the one they'd be right for thinking WWE wasn't too dumb to do *Bryan ranted on Twitter today that Mania going to just about midnight at the start of a weekday for Eastern time-zone residents was wrong https://twitter.com/bryanalvarez/status/1115321244268867584

I can't speak for NJT, but the transit authority here requires notice from the event holder and the event holder has to pay to keep the Metro open after normal hours if the event is expected to run late.

They sort of tried with Piper's Pit for Ronda, and Charlotte has the spear and moonsault that can easily be credible, but they 100% should have given Becky one.

Becky has the bexsploder and a pretty good looking uranage that they've basically never tried to sell either as match enders.

rovert posted:Let me sheepishly say I am with Grimace. Don't know why Meltzer has taken the tact he has about the match when it is pretty transparent that Angle/Cena was always the plan. Angle was Cena's first main roster opponent. And now so many people have been paired with others - Rey vs Samoa Joe for example. The process of elimination has taken effect. Don't even have to go back 3 weeks for this beauty. Anyways, it's obvious that Dave has his shortcomings as a reporter/journalist these days in terms of not wanting to speak ill of his friends. It's a shame but also hard to blame the guy for not wanting to poo poo on his friends and their daughters.

So like its totally understandable that passengers didn't realize this and expected NJT to open their doors but its also literally true that it wasn't their building to open the doors of. Now there's probably something in there about how capitalism sucks and we should have public transit that serves the people first or something. But strictly speaking I think NJT was telling the truth that Dunkin Donuts had to make the decision.

Seemed super obvious that there was something up, and it was flat as hell when it was clear there was no surprise coming. Just on Cena. On Wrestlemania day I think WrestlingInc reported that Cena was going to be a guest referee. Also, Cena seemed to kayfabe his Wrestlemania role backstage as he's wearing his current era look in his picture: https://twitter.com/WWECorino/status/1115252859380092928 Seems like his role was all kept close to the vest.

The hosts were terrible. Didn't capitalise on the guests at all. I wouldn't recommend powering through the whole thing. Salina Del Reina seemed pleased to see Meltzer. She's a Court Bauer understudy so she's probably well clued up on her. Also, Dave is a fan of her work.
