You have to laugh over Tucker betraying Otis… So Otis will lose the briefcase… so the Miz will lose for a year, then get the title and hold it for less than two weeks… and then canonically get eaten by zombies.

The WWE is an amazing entertainment company and never why they intend.

Don't forget they gave Miz back the briefcase after failing with it, before he won with it

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

The thing that strikes me is less that he's a generic HHH clone and more that he's not actually a small guy but he looks like one. The set is so massive and they film him in a way that just makes him look dwarfed by it and tiny. Its such poor, poor production and its striking how obvious this stuff seems to m now that I've ben away from wwe for a good long time and watching a competent wrestling production.

I saw this earlier, too! She was apparently on the dude from Rancid's podcast and he matter of factly was like, "You can just be Ruby Soho and we could clear the rights for the song for you in 10 minutes".

I mean that could be said about both Kross and Gonzalez. Hell, Raquel's only real identity is showing off her back muscles. Both her and Kross are generic CAW level wrestlers who dethroned actual well liked and cool stars. The funniest part is whenever he gets worked up on his calls with the press on why he did it, he defends both of them by saying they are both megastars and are the best in their divisions and how we need to shut up and stop criticizing everything. Combine that with the last Takeover being one of the worst in the history of the brand and him doubling down with Kross/Gonzalez as champs instead of course correcting, and you can see why NXT is a sinking ship.

Love how he spams like 9 loving poses to the hard cam. He is to poses what Triple H is to nicknames, no wonder he loves the guy so much.

This looks like when you're playing No Mercy and your CAW data gets erased mid game.

Even the screen behind Kross, it's got a vortex tunnel that should frame him - instead he's barely taller than the bottom of it.

So, uh. He's coming from a hole. I'm not the only one seeing that, right?


Most favorable interpretation is that it's an umbilical cord like thing, but he might just be stepping out of a more general hole, the un-Buried.

Are all NXT/main event entrances that bland? All the screens looked like a burnt red and the only distinguishing thing from Kross is his logo on the entranceway before he enters the arena.

lol Kross' entrance was designed around Scarlett and a bunch of smoke and taking both away predictably makes it look lame as hell

He didn’t know how to do an entrance without Scarlet doing all the emoting for the both of them.

How much money did WWE lose out on from PPV's by going to the Network and giving away all the Big 4 for 10 bux. Had to have been quite a bit, they got half of 60 bucks, 30 for each order. People were going to order at least Mania and the Rumble, and hardcores would order more. I guess in a sense it stopped casuals like me from looking for streams for a PPV I wanted to see, but they would need to do, well it would be algebra where the breakeven point btwn selling for 30 and 10 was found. Plus all the other content, seems like it was a good idea and the fans benefit but the company lost out on money. And what are they getting now after selling to Peacock, they still produce all the content, what does NBC pay them?
