Wrestlemania 38 is gonna be Shane and Stephanie fighting over the remote on a HHH-skin rug in Vince's den while he sternly watches from a recliner, gently stroking a stained photograph of Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake.

This doesn't even makes sense because AEW is also full of good worker indie guys and they won

I think in Vince's leaky mind, they would have won if they had focused on what they do best: hot young women and big meat men with weird cartoon gimmicks, just like the old days.

They're finally gonna give David Lynch the book?

They'll have to change his name of course so people don't think he's related to Becky. He'll just be David.

Congrats to Aliyah for holding out through the Triple H era to reach the point where being hot was the only asset prized in women, you gotta respect that hustle

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.
King Wood's entrance is dope. I did not have time to watch anything on Smackdown but that this week but I think I made the right choice.

It's weird how everyone who leaves WWE has an attitude problem. Just like how all my ex's are petty arseholes who can't chill out.

Now I feel some kinship to WWE knowing we're both never wrong.

this glorious monument

I wonder how long WWE could get away with just not creating any kind of product at all. I guess the problem is breach of contract lawsuits but other than that they have absolutely no incentive to put in any more than the bare minimum. Like every other company too big to fail they've transcended the need for customers. Raw could be 3 hours of static and people online would be tweeting about how they saw a 5* match in the snow.

To be fair 3 hours of static would be an improvement over your average episode of RAW.

Pretty hosed up that WWE had 71 wrestlers with attitude issues, I'm glad the problem is taken care of and there will be no more cuts.

I AM SPUTNIK'S PARACHUTE ACCOUNT
So... I just watched the Sami & Hit Row stuff, because it's been about a year since I checked in on Sami.

I'm guessing Sami is still the same character he was last year + "a self proclaimed locker room leader". And while he was definitely a heel, he seemed sincere enough about offering advice.

And his entrance is kinda dumb, but there's no way you could mistake it for anyone else's.

So, Sami leads them out, after Hit Row ASKS him to; and Hit Row follows with the enthusiasm of a CAW who forgot to pick an entrance.

Sami seems like he's trying to (egotistically) insert himself into their group...

And Hit Row raps (?) for two bars, letting us know that "he's inzayn" & "his name isn't Sami Zayn, it's Sami Sucks" and the crowd does chant that, so I guess good job?

They prevent him from leaving, Sami apologizes, and follows up that he didn't come out to fight them.

After some initial bullying, they let him go, laughing about... how he... didn't stick around for a 3 on 1 beat down?


Who the gently caress is that segment supposed to help?

Sami gets a new nickname for a couple of weeks. (Fans already chant that <x sucks>, so congrats)

Sami looks a bit dumb for trying to help, but ultimately being himself? I guess?

Hit Row looks dull and uninterested. Couldn't even commit to a 3 on 1 beatdown. I think they're faces? Maybe Tweeners? Sometimes faces bully people who are earnestly trying to help? The Rock used to do that... Maybe it's Sami's fault for seeming too sincere?

What was the point of this segment?

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

My takeaway from that and the Aaliyah segment Sami is an amusing, annoying, but unthreatening presence in the SD locker room that does in fact bring them all together in laughing at him.

Jeff Hardy on the other hand is clearly lurking the SD backstage for young women. He's the real threat.

And I don't really get the Hit Row appeal either. But I've never much gone for bad wrestling rappers and gradeschool insults. I was just kind of curious if they'd address that one of them got fired, and I guess the answer is "no"?
