Cody challenges Roman again on post-mania RAW, with the same world title stipulation from AEW.. and loses again at Backlash.

gently caress it, just give it to Gunther tonight and have "him" roll around with three belts. Goldberg wasn't involved in the NWO soap opera when he beat Hogan. Hogan was just next.

Abroham Lincoln posted:i love how absolutely incomprehensible this is. "we told him to say finish the story but the story never ends so he couldn't because we won't" It doesn't make sense, but remember the Ciampa/Gargano feud in NxT that went on way too long and went from being a fan favourite feud to something that sucked? Triple Paul booked that too... The main problem (apart from LOLOLOLOLOL CODY LOST?!) with WWE, for me at least, is that babyfaces suck and heels always go over. The hottest WWE has ever been was when monster faces like Hogan and Austin ran wild, but for the last 20 odd years, more than before, heels go over and have long reigns, it's just draining. Even CenaWinsLol lost his title a bunch. I blame Wrestlemania 16, the first mania to have a heel leave with the title (Hogan at 9 sucked, but he was NOMINALLY a face). Before then a face won every time. Since? From memory, Austin turned heel at 17, HHH retained at 19, Orton win at 24, Jericho at 26, Miz at 27, Del Rio at 29, Rollins at 31 (though this could be considered babyface), Brock at 33, Brock at 34, Lashley and Roman at 37, Roman at 38 and Roman at 39*. That's not even counting comedy like "babyface" Sheamus beating Danielson in 18 seconds. I just think WWE has fallen into "heels win for THE HEAT" and forgotten to have the babyfaces go over and blow off the heat. And I blame HHH retaining at 16 for starting it, when Rock should have gone over in a 1v1, like the following month at Backlash. HHH is patient zero for all this. IMO of course. *This is counting both belts as world titles

I can’t decide which is worse; if this was always planned or if it was a last minute decision based on WWE being sold. Good job, though, you managed to book an ending to a PPV worse than Batista winning the Rumble before Mania 30, Bray Wyatt winning via hologram, or Seth Rollins losing because he kicked too much rear end with a big hammer.

It’s this, but also something much more basic. The art of wrestling booking (and indeed selling literally any kind of product) is to make people want something, and then give it to them. It really isn’t hard. But then again their revenue defies all of this so what do I know

So, the new owner of WWE, Ari Emanuel. "His father, Jerusalem-born Dr. Benjamin M. Emanuel, is a pediatrician who was active in the Irgun, a Zionist paramilitary group", so his da was a terrorist. Divorced his wife of 20 years to marry someone 28 years his junior. Close associate of Donald Trump, convinced Donald to donate to his lovely brother Rahm's mayoral campaign in 2010. Settled a lawsuit for more than $2m where he was accused of allowing a friend to run a porno company out of Endeavor's offices, as well as making racist and homophobic remarks, most notably refusing to send a script about a Navy SEAL to Wesley Snipes because "That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Everyone knows that blacks don't swim." Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

I have no idea how you value WWE at 9 billion dollars lol. I remember we were lollin at 5bn. Money truly has no meaning. I sincerely hope Vince dies on the shitter or something before this thing closes. He doesn’t deserve to walk into the sunset, undefeated at life, with billions of dollars and a terrible moustache. This just solidifies WWE as a company where the wrestling isn’t the point. You go to a WWE show and it’s sterile, almost clinical. It’s like the circus. You’ll wait 25 min from the start of an entrance to the bell, for it to run 4 minutes before another commercial break. You go to AEW shows and they keep things moving almost too fast. drat it feels good to be elite.
