So much stuff in WWE lately feels like they have seen what's worked in AEW, thought that it was because of some dumb reason then tried to do the dumb reason thing and have it backfire on them because AEW actually put thought into what they were doing.

We've got Veer Is Coming because they saw how AEW built anticipation for Hook and they thought he got over because of a meme and nothing else.

We had the Edge-Miz worked shoot promo immediately after Punk and MJF.

They're leaking the Raw match and promo listings to Fightful because they've seen how AEW promotes everything on their show ahead of time but they can't actually promote it on anything official because Vince McMahon is likely to tear everything up and go in a different direction as the show is on the air.

They changed NXT to something they thought was "new and fresh" because they repeated so many times that AEW was only successful because it was new and fresh and convinced themselves it was for no other reason.

And if they're not trying to badly copy AEW they're whining about how they have potty mouths and the nice ladies are forced to get cut up. How long is it until we see some Billionaire Shad skits with Bryan Danielson and CM Punk caricatures saying poo poo non-stop and visibly blading all over themselves?

In the first world war there was a member of the Royal Field Artillery called Thomas McGillicuddy. He was a bombardier, but before being promoted to bombardier he held the rank of gunner.

Which means there was a Gunner McGillicuddy.

theres too much coincidence that cody used this in his promo last week

I caught the last segment and it was rather long and quiet until Miz was berating the crowd for not going along with singing happy birthday… like the sound difference was a bit jarring.

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.

Smackdown does great on a Friday night and it's not going anywhere.

The big question will be if FOX tries to offer them less money because they are below expectations, or if WWE fails upward again and they get a bigger contract because FOX would have to develop probably at least 12 more shows over the next 5 years to put in its place.

Even hockey has failed upwards.

OFFICIAL RACIST
Not really shocking considering its been discussed already (including by myself), but Dave confirmed on the F4W website that Ronda is indeed going to be a part of Wrestlemania in some form this year, as soon as the Rumble, potentially.

quote:

Regarding the Ronda Rousey stories, she is definitely on the books for WrestleMania and being in the Rumble would set it up. Fightful reported her as a surprise in the Rumble and it certainly wasn't denied to me, and some notes about Mania were confirmed, but also confirmed plans are on the table for her return.

https://www.f4wonline.com/news/daily-updates/ronda-rousey-raw-francis-ngannou-ufc-wwe

Very excited for her rants about ungrateful fans and how the women were all big mean jerks to her in the locker room again, before she "quits" again. And on a serious note, I don't think she is going to bring people back to the product. She was never moving the needle in a positive direction when she was heavily featured.

She certainly was a needle mover, she didn't bring in a new boom period but she sold tickets in a way no one but Lesnar does.
