'She calls this the bank statement' is the worst sentence uttered on WWE programming this year, no close second. The finisher names are getting painful at this point. Do they all have to have the wrestlers name in them? gently caress me.

That has nothing on Maggle calling Paige's submission finish when she got promoted from NXT.

I think everyone here is an adult and can use context clues to figure out when a crowd is using a word or phrase in a negative or insulting way.

That said, it is obvious that Sasha is trying to co-opt the fan chant to get herself over, which is commendable for a young woman of color working in the business.

*nods*

Well said.

"He calls it the Air Jordan!"

"He calls it the Dillinger Escape Plan!"

"He calls it the Hideo Seek!"

I wish they would just use the finisher name instead of "He/She/Xe calls that the (finisher name)".

Same thing with maybe showing wrestlers say things instead of just having the announcers says "he said earlier..." in fake conversations.

Sami's a guy who needs a better name for his finisher pronto. He should call it Blue Monday when he gets called up to the main roster.

Anyone else think it looked like Itami was legit hurt during his match? after that part where he fell off the turnbuckle (which I'm guessing was a botch since he no sold it). he seemed to be limping and could barely run & nearly didn't reach Viktor with that dropkick.

That's all I could focus on in the Itami match. He looked legit out of it. Even when he hit the ropes he was stumbling and not having any force behind his running.

I'm holding out for the Bad Brainbuster. But I like Helluva Kick, if that's gonna be his official finisher.

I remember there was worries about him being concussed in the spoiler thread, but he was fine by the next set of tapings. So maybe he is just a really good in-ring actor?

To be honest it's kind of neat that her favorite wrestler/biggest idol is Eddie Guerrero. Usually the women talk about how much they wanted to be like Lita or Trish when they were getting into wrestling.

They inexplicably tried to make "Bow Down to the Queen" stick for like 3 months earlier this year so I'm willing to give "Bank Statement" a lot of slack! And also Banks keeps improving as a wrestler, so why not.

Bank Statement is not even in the same league of bad as Bow Down To The Queen was. With a finisher name you need to think of how it'd be called if someone kicked out. And an announcer yelling BOW DOWN TO THE QUEEN only for someone to kick out would look goofy as gently caress.

I always thought it was just "Bow to the Queen" and thought that was fine for a name, adding "Down" kind of makes it seem a little cluttered.

There's something slightly unnerving about Alexa Bliss's perma-grin.

She's like a half-inch away from an Aphex Twin album cover.

I always get that impression from Rotunda family photos but Alexa is getting close, yeah.

Whatever, I won't be satisfied until someone enters an arena in the endless stretch limo from the Windowlicker video.

Also a super easy gimmick to get over. Have them tap lots of people out. Done.

Although, this falls in line with the two rules to get any gimmick ever over.

1. Have them win lots.
2. Don't have them lose lots.

At Takeover 2, Sin Cara did a suicide dive with a camera angle that made him look like Ultraman flying away, so for that I will always like him.
