Huh, the show on after Raw had someone say an uncensored "gently caress" in the first 5 minutes.

Yep! Blood Drive's series premiere originally aired on Syfy last Wednesday, and the whole premise is it's a grindhouse thing airing late at night, so it gets away with curse words. Not shocked the sister channel USA is airing it to get more views, wish they'd do it with genuinely great stuff like The Expanse too though

I mean it's extra strength retarded because how long were Rusev/Lana and Miz/Maryse on the same show, then on different shows and they were always two of the best acts wherever they were that felt incredibly distinct, with Lana being the pitchman and mouthpiece for the super athlete who almost never involved herself in matches and Maryse being Miz's arm candy while Miz did most of the talking, but she always interfered in matches.

And Maria and Mike also seem extremely disparate from that because Maria seems to be the one in charge. They're all very different gimmicks.

I think Vince just hates managers, because he's loving stupid.

It might just literally be "we think the audience is too dumb to handle two couples where both members have an M name"

I mean, we do already know poo poo like that is why they go out of their way to have Kassius Ohno not have KO stuff, because they're already doing that with Kevin Owens

Graves revealed the security cam footage himself instead of going to Kurt with it first because he wanted to undermine and embaras​ him. Graves is working for Stephanie.

Daniel Bryan did an interview with Sports Illustrated discussing his return to Smackdown Live tonight. Some highlights:

A return to the ring: "I’m working on it. Wrestling is more of a creative outlet, and especially for somebody like me, I view it as my creative outlet. Not all WWE superstars and not all wrestlers view it that way, but that’s how I view it and that’s one of the ways my mind works creatively."

A return to the ring: "I’m working on it."

Remember when people optimistically assumed having a kid would change his mind

Dave on Bryan wrestling:

If his health's at critical risk, he won't do it anywhere. At this point that's the only thing stopping him. Any chance of it happening in WWE increases if and only if the concussion lawsuit finishes before expiration. Still favoring New Japan and CMLL most, but not ruling out ROH return

Late next year when Bryan's free, absolutely. Honma will have returned by then too

I wish I could be a fly on the wall in gorilla after the main event of WM34 ends and Vince realizes that he spent an entire year sacrificing the entire roster to get Roman over and it didn't work, again.

He'll blame Brock and be glad it was his last show

Hell, same, tbh

They've spent over 3 years pushing him as a face while the entire time it's been obviously not working, no matter what they've done, which from the start included poo poo like Bryan losing clean after one finisher and giving a public speech about how great he is and how he deserves to be cheered and win the belt after such a performance.

After stuff like that and HHH coming back/winning a world title/winning a Rumble all just so he could be the one to make Reigns look like a star at a Mania, I don't know how anybody could think there's anything Vince or HHH wouldn't do to make people love him. Even this year when people were in the discussion thread swearing they wouldn't give Taker's last match to him, and certainly wouldn't do it in the main event, it was baffling, but it's definitely moreso after them having done it. There's nothing they won't do.

I sincerely think if they ever let Cena gently caress off to Hollywood for good, his last match and loss will only be to Reigns, and I wouldn't be stunned if it were sooner than we think.

I appreciate the WWE skipping the "hopeful" stage and just throwing the MYC finals out there into the 205 Live Death Slot time immediately following SD on the Network
