If only there were a way to capitalize on Goldberg’s popularity without having him muck up your title scene for six weeks every time he pops up out of nowhere

DeepDickPizza posted:

Nikki is going to drop the Title right back to Charlotte next week in a squash. They just wanted to up her number again.

I would wager Nikki may get pinned in non-title matches but probably retain her title for a little bit due to DQ or other shenanigans. Maybe she has individual TV matches against Charlotte and Rhea and they cost the other the win again, set up a three-way for SummerSlam

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

At least humberto is on TV again after not being used for a year

Wasn't Humberto called up because Vince thought he was the new Latino Heat and liked his dimples? He didn't even spend time in NXT

I wouldn’t call Goldberg’s quote for coming in to do a match cheap, no

But he’s literally like the only pre-2000s guy, the era now looked back on as “the good days” the way the 80s were in 1995 when everything was the drizzling shits, who can still work a basic match and actually wants to work with the company in a wrestling capacity, so

Yes

It’s also because Vince wants to get another guy over as having toppled the last star of his former competition because he fired the last guy he used Goldberg to put over

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

It's extremely telling that the only guys in WWE who still get the monster pop are old part-timers.

Also I hope Goldberg takes Vince to the cleaners and has some two-minute nothing match where neither he nor Lashley gets hurt.

The cinematic MITB match that happened just last year feels like a lifetime ago but Brodie Lee passed less than a year ago and that feels so recent

Bobby Lashley needs to beat Goldberg in 15 seconds to avoid having his spine exploded by a botched Jackhammer.
Speaking of Lashley, I remember the time he had Big Cass up in a standing vertical suplex which ended up becoming a brainbuster because he couldn't hold him up for too long. Cass is lucky his neck wasn't destroyed.

It’s WWE’s brilliant new money-saving strategy of just firing people and rehiring them for less money each time to get the return pop instead of rotating people in and out

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Reginald was made for the 24/7 division. Him just flipping around for a couple weeks until R-Truth rolls him up should be good.

Bobby vs Keith Lee was like 25% of a good match. If this was in another company I think it could have been all good, somewhere that would have just let those dudes have a 500lb cruiser match.

As bad as Rhea normally is,her and Charlotte had another good one, they have really good chemistry.

Nikki posing with Red Hat Guy after winning was kind of cool.

That poor new announcer tries to make everything have a logical explanation on this dumb show and I feel sorry for him. You really gotta go full Michael Cole (although stop short of Matt Striker) and divorce yourself from reality or you end up sounding like a moron.

John Cena is such a bigger star than anyone else on the show tonight.

And lo, Vince spoke unto HHH and said that Kross only liked him because he gave them the fancy entrances, a hot valet, big title wins and a consistent push.

So HHH sets out to prove Vince wrong. He takes away the cool entrance, the hot valet and has him job out to aging jobber Jeff Hardy. Still Kross Is Just Happy To Be Here. So Vince says unto HHH that they'll job him out for a few weeks, then we'll see what Kross is made of. Still, Kross remained loyal to the fed, taking to twitter to tell fans to shut up and just watch the product.

HHH then asks Vince if we return him to the push he had before now that he has proven his loyalty? "Lmao no that guy sucks he lost to Jeff freakin Hardy lol"

Hideki Suzuki, the guy notorious for being really hard to work with and being super reluctant to put guys over if he didn’t think they could beat him in a shoot, being in WWE will never stop being weird. I like to imagine he's bringing Inokiism to the PC.

I think Kyle could probably beat him in a shoot right now but at their primes it'd be a hell of a match.

e: Roderick is the leader not Kyle. Roderick could probably impress him with his Freaky Roderick Strength I guess
