To be done with all this measuring of proof.

What happens when WWE spends 20 years training the wrestling audience that a wrestling show should be like 1 segment that matters and the rest is just there to keep you awake long enough to get to it.

Wrestling needs to go at exactly my own personal pace and should always give me plenty of time to stare at my phone. I shouldn't have to pay attention to and remember so many things. Watching TV is super challenging and difficult and kinda dangerous if you really think about it

Also I never want to have to rewind anything. That's too much effort and all my reddit posts won't write themselves ya know

If a movie requires you to rewind to follow the plot, it would be badly paced.

The WWE Universe is currently in the phase where they pretend like this is a gigantic game changing signing, before he inevitably ends up having a KUSHIDA esque run.

Dragon Lee is a fantastic wrestler but this isn’t even remotely on the level of signing Shinsuke. I don’t know what is supposed to be “insane” about signing someone who was floating around without a contract for a few years

Rey also had the worst title run in history where he was pinned clean by The Great Khali and just treated as a joke. Even Jinder Mahal actually won.

Cardona doesn’t need WWE anymore because he’s built his own brand with Brian Myers and tapped directly into a rich vein of nerd money.

He seems to prefer being a big fish in the small pond that is the indie scene.

The only way he can go back is if he makes them pay him so much that they HAVE to push him, like Kevin Owens tier money.

I don't think that this can be overstated, Rey Mysterio's first world title run:

- Loses Battle Royal for vacant title
- Loses #1 Contender's match to Mark Henry
- Loses a second match to Mark Henry
- Wins Royal Rumble for a chance at the WWE title!
- Loses match at Wrestlemania to Randy Orton
- Loses non-title match to champion Kurt Angle
- Wins the title in a three-way at Wrestlemania!
- Beats Randy Orton in a title defense
- No contest in a title defense against Kurt Angle when Mark Henry beats the champ up
- Loses non-title match to Mark Henry clean
- Loses non-title match to the Great Khali clean
- No contest in a non-title match when Kane goes May 19 crazy and kills him before the bell
- Beats JBL mostly clean in a title defense
- Beats JBL in a rematch when Chavo interferes on the champion's behalf with low blows and chairshots
- Loses non-title match by count-out when Kurt Angle suplexes him so hard outside of the ring he can't get up
- Loses to Finlay in a non-title match when Sabu interferes
- Loses to Rob Van Dam clean in a non-title match
- No contest in a non-title match against Sabu when both men go through a table
- Beats Gregory Helms (cruiserweight champion) in a world title match clean
- Beats Mark Henry via DQ in a title match when Chavo runs in and does the chair fakeout gimmick while Rey is out
- Beats William Regal clean in a non-title match
- Beats King Booker in a non-title match when Chavo trips Booker as he's winning
- Loses title to King Booker when Chavo turns on Rey

He lost more than he won, most of the time when he won it was because Chavo Guerrero was cheating on his behalf, and he lost when Chavo stopped cheating for him.

I have literally no memory of this and this sounds like an EWR rogue save.

I think it was when they were building to the Rey/Sabu match at One Night Stand 2006, which was thrown out as a no contest after a WWE doctor swooped in to call off the match after they went through a table on the outside.
