At the very least, put up the "SICKOS" "Yes! Ha ha ha...YES!" cartoon, that way there'd be some actual humor to go along with the complete misinterpretation of the various "RIP Jade's knees at the Performance Center" posts :v:

What is the non-weird way of saying "RIP [wrestler's] knees at the Performance Center", because people have previously said that about roughly a zillion other wrestlers who've gone there, and this is the first time I can recall any sort of pearl clutching about it

Their fan base seems to think he’s the reincarnation of his father and he can have the WWE run his dad never got to have. I doubt they have ever seen BeePee wrestle. Most of them probably never even saw Brian Pillman wrestle either and just know about his Loose Cannon gimmick from documentaries. Jr always struggled in big matches in AEW because he would either blow spots or look lost but will probably be fine in the nxt environment if his matches are heavily agented.

He will have regular 2 star matches along with the occasional 3 star match by WWE standards that will be evidence that he was good all along.

When they had Dark and Elevation the AEW women were getting more match time but WWE is likely beating them out now. Both could use to give them more time.

Yes. But they tend to push the same people and it makes it more difficult for anyone to become main eventers. Like you have the clear top of Becky/Rhea/Bianca/Charlotte/Asuka. Bayley should be here, but she's been jobbing way too much lately. Then after that you have a lot of women who might get pushed for a bit but then eventually fall into the cursed tag team division, like Liv Morgan. IYO needs a good long reign to avoid this fate.

Like Tegan should be getting on TV so people can get invested in her, because she's really talented. So it's nice to see her involved in a story with Becky and getting some time on TV to talk and wrestle.

It's really not that weird to be worried for Jade's knees when the PC has a long history of exploding knees, especially among the women. :shrug:

I'm pretty sure the Rock's daughter ended up with three separate leg injuries before she even ended up on tv.

There have been main roster WWE television episodes without a single women’s match THIS YEAR but the freaks will never admit that. Matches longer than 4 minutes are the exception not the rule. NXT is better about it

It's less about that and more about the not-so-subtle implication that people who posted about Jade having her knees ruined at the WWE Knee Ruining Factory, were somehow :pray: that she would suffer said knee injuries for the crime of leaving AEW, when in fact nobody had actually said anything of the sort.

Popular culture has passed you by.
Honestly, WWE should catch more poo poo for having the better women's division and using them so poorly. I remember long stretches of time where it was said on here that Bayley or Asuka or their respective tag teams carried the show. Not the division, the entire show. Yet I defy everybody to remember who they feuded against, or how those feuds ended.

WWE has top performers that manage to shine in the absence of creative direction the company might have. God help them when they are put in a program that WWE had actually planned.

Gonna form the first intergender tag team with Jade Cargill, and they will only refer to themselves as "This B" and "That B".

A Bananas in Pyjamas based tag team where they are B1 and B2 respectively would be much better.

Total fuckin' silence.
It would surprise me if they kept Pillman's name, just because it might bring attention to the whole "wrestlers dying young" thing. It might also introduce more people to that extremely dodgy live interview Vince did with Pillman's widow just hours after he died. Then again, everything seems to suggest that there's no point in signing him if he doesn't have the name? Anyway, welcome to WWE British Petroleum.

The RAW roster is low on stars (just Rhea/Becky and maaaaaybe Liv, who is hurt). It's high on potential in terms of there's quite a few good workers (Candice, Shayna, Piper, Tegan, Zoey) but aside from Zoey and Shayna they haven't been really given any chances.

I think Liv getting hurt threw a wrench in their plans.

It’s going to be so funny to see them try and give him the loose cannon gimmick to a guy who has no charisma in a PG environment. Is he gonna tell the NXT universe that he’s gonna take his dick out and piss on them?

Tozawa is 1-1-1 on Raw this year, splitting 3 minute matches with the Miz and then not winning an Intercontinental Contenders Battle Royal. 7-4 on Main Event though.
