That moment when you don't get a contract from WWE at a time when literally anybody with any kind of name is getting a contract from WWE and you gotta rationalize it.

Dave might die on this hill defending Charlotte. His love of Bazler almost saved him tonight but he full on doesn't get why people hate her. He said something like "She was promised things, then plans changed, but people still hate her." It's like gently caress Dave, you just hit the nail on the head.

I gave up on Dave and Bryan on this particular subject after TLC when they characterized anybody who maybe had a problem with Charlotte slapping and power bombing a concussed colleague was just one of the haters and losers.

What's the problem with Aldis again? Huge douche IRL?

Because otherwise he's the kind of guy you'd think WWE would definitely want. Very charismatic, excellent talker, good in the ring.

I was the polar opposite. Cody did a bang up job getting Aldis over and Aldis has done a pretty solid job of keeping over. Granted, I give the NWA title holders a significant pass if they have a decent lookin field of defenses, which Aldis has done a great job of.

In reality, the NWA title hold is interchangable with Shawn Spears in terms of importance tho.

Dave and Bryan were on the vlog! Nothing but greetings and clips from the podcast but it's funny to see their room and Dave's wardrobe.

Very cool to be on call during and after every single televised wrestling event to not be paid, despite there being a thousand other sites you can copy paste because no one is going to the observer for text smackdown recaps.

WWE top 5, as ranked by someone who only sees gifs and social media peaks:

1. becky

3. Asuka
4. Kairi Sane
5. fine Charlotte I guess

Even if you believe Charlotte is the single most talented wrestler to ever exist, the point is that she's overpushed and people are tired of it. The same poo poo happens in every single sport where someone is extremely good for a long time - it was cool when Tom Brady won his first Super Bowl after being a sixth round draft pick, less cool when he did it 17 more times. WWE has the luxury of being scripted and thus they can avoid it, but instead they go out of their way to make their viewers bored of their biggest stars.
