There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
Lana and Miro are both 36, they're probably never going back to WWE if they can squeeze out a few years in AEW plus make some streaming money. I hope she spills it all, I can't wait to hear what a shitshow it is becoming.

What is the point of NXT UK if a featured wrestler from the brand shows up and Corey Graves immediately says "Who tf is this???" on commentary?

For all that the presentation of Piper and the potential name sucks, I really like the idea of bringing Eva in with a bunch of Diva-era throwback vignettes and then using her essentially as a manager and Piper looked great in the actual match. She's way better than Nia or Tamina who have both had way more success in WWE than they deserve so Piper's chances of getting somewhere are actually pretty good I think

That was me!


Also, anyone else notice Piper Doudrop's reactions? Like she was shocked she won the match? So instead of being a killer, my guess is WWE's going to present her as Eva's naive friend who Eva talked into being a wrestler, and who's too stupid to know that she's being used, and that Eva's not really her friend.

You missed the key difference, Piper isn't related to former WWE superstars.

No. It's not funny if two fatties find love and happiness. It's only funny if one of the couple is fat, (and therefore worthless in the eyes of a loving god), and the other is conventionally attractive and blonde.

So it's more likely she will have a romance angle with Dolph Ziggler.

Maybe the most insidious thing is she's married to someone getting time on TV so she might have pressure to just deal with it.

That’s the long game. It’ll all pay off when Piper realizes she’s being used and finally defeats Eva via DQ (because Eva was kicking too much rear end) at Wrestlemania pre-show in a great, feel-good moment. Piper will then cut an impassioned promo afterwards then get released due to budget cuts two weeks later.

I like how in WWE canon, you can just book a random person into your match, and the officials don’t even need to know their name.

Even before that HHH statement it's pretty clear that WWE's view is that fans should just turn their brains off and watch mindlessly, and it's something they clearly tell the wrestlers cause a lot of them say the same poo poo when defending the company. Don't think, just like what we give you or you can gently caress off. And so the viewers did, en masse.

If WWE is four years behind everyone else, that’s when they debuted “call me by your name”.

The comparison is very apt, considering what an amazing monster Rhonda Sing was in Japan.

God, imagine someone having an All Japan Women's monster heel run in an American promotion.
