I saw Britt Baker’s match at AEW a while back. It was bloody and gutsy, and it was cool. When I entered CZW, there was a good hardcore woman wrestler, and a few years ago at WrestleMania, WWE also focused on women. If motivated women get together, I would like to do an explosion deathmatch for women wrestlers..

I have always liked the bucks, and I'm enjoying their (and Kenny's) increased presence on BTE.

Kenny was by far the highlight of the week, followed by Gallows.

The true sign of whether or not Britt is a heel is if she insults Primanti's Brothers.

Didn't notice this in the card before. I'm really interested. Tay is as babyface as you can get, while Deeb cemented her heel turn on that Riho match at the last PPV. Either they'll start feuding (please, TK, just a morsel of a storyline in Elevation if you're not doing more than 1 and a half storylines on Dynamite) or Tay is about to chop the vertical vixen verticallity.

The 1 was -1 hitting Nemeth with the Chaos Breaker

Whats crazy is none of this is like a secret. WWE has shown it can hold onto a certain base no matter what they do. So why don't they just let the "inmates run the asylum" as it were? Fire all the writers, let the wrestlers sort it out amongst themselves. It would be so easy for WWE to get good again.

But the problem at this point, besides Vince being a crazy control freak, is probably a culture of micromanagement.

See the easy sell for me is we're saving money off of the writers and our quality will only go up and that will mean more buyers. Content level and all the other WWE bs stays the same. Just let the wrestlers be more natural.

And you can bs some social media stuff, too. As the character becomes more popular, their twitters and social media will get more engagement, which will further advertise the product. That kinda bullshit is what all the investors are lapping up now.

Firing the writers does nothing but put people out of work. They may be writing poo poo, but there's clear directive they're following due to one guy at the top. Blame management, not the rank and file.

They're heels because they are cocky elitist assholes who think they are the coolest when in reality we are all laughing at the goofy bastards.

The Bucks aren't heels because they're evil or vicious or anything, they're heels because they're a pair of absolute dickhead douchebags with no compunctions about cheating and manipulation. It's great!
