Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great wrestler Triple H is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Triple H"

Bianca beats Sasha, Becky beats Bianca, they’ll probably do a triple threat where Sasha wins, then Bianca will beat Sasha, Becky will beat Bianca…

Remember they're coming up to Survivor Series where the champs face each other so Charlotte can get worked into the Smackdown title scene too!

Drakkel posted:"People don't watch wrestling for moves, they watch it for the STORY" Some people did like the ending cause it keeps the feud going with an extra variable in it. They feel having a winner out of Becky and Bianca woulda been a "waste". Monthly ppvs are a mistake. Endless Mike posted:It's the only time a year RawTM Superstars(R) and SmackDown! LiveTM Superstar(R) battle each other, OP Speaking of that, tonight is the season finale of Raw. It's almost draft time! Blaise330 fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Sep 27, 2021 |

Why do they have a Season Finale for a show that literally never stops airing? What differentiates any "Season" of Raw from any other season? Why does the "Season" arbitrarily end 3/4ths of the way through the year?

Why does the "Season" arbitrarily end 3/4ths of the way through the year? It would make sense if, like AEW, they used it to reset graphics and some of the look of the show. But of course, none of that ever changes and when it does it's a blanket change for every TV show and PPV so everything just looks and feels the same forever.

Finale is in Fall because the premier is in Fall and alot of shows premier in the Fall.

They all also have episode titles, though I don't know if they just do like the name of the show and date these days. I feel like I remember seeing old run sheets where each episode had a unique title specific to what was happening on that show.

Professor Funk posted:Must be kind of terrifying as a performer standing up there, smoke everywhere, etc., knowing the turnbuckle is about to collapse beneath you but not knowing exactly *when* its gonna happen they gave hans gruber a 5 count but let the rope go at 3 at the nakatomi tower final scene so rickman would react more on camera

They are just throwing Sasha in there as a bridge to turning Becky face again. Would not surprise me if we have Sasha and Carmella Vs Becky and Bianca in a month.

Renaissance Spam posted:I would agree with this except the Thunderdome showed how WWE does Wacky and it was awful. Compare that to the insanity of the Hardy Compound or Stadium Stampede, WWE can't even do stupid crazy cinematic matches. Of course, Vince being Vince, he made sure to start making GBS threads on it from very literally the next frame as soon as it ended.

Is Ricochet beginning to see the light? https://twitter.com/Fiend4FolIows/status/1442494597972758528?s=20 Although this reply from someone who used to work for WWE: https://twitter.com/VollmayerOnFire/status/1442505826153893893?s=20 "YOU'D BETTER UNLIKE THAT IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU!" - Steph, I'd imagine.

Ricochet is going to make insinuations that he's unhappy (while very publicly saying that he isn't) and they'll push him around MITB because that's the only match type they like him in.

I wish Cedric would get that spot, he isn't as big of a dork as Ricochet. I know the obvious thing would be to put both of them in but fat chance of that happening.

Cedric is big swoles wife and has been seen on Instagram at AEW backstage, he's probably as high as he's gonna get Edit: oh god I said wife instead of husband, that'll teach me to post while pretending to be working Kunabomber fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Sep 27, 2021 |

Of the guys left in WWE I'd want to see jump ship to AEW I'd put Cedric near the top of the list above Ricochet at least. I think #1 for me is Akira Tozawa.
