Second night was mostly garbage (particularly compared to the first, where every match other than Braun/Shane and the Women's Tag Team mess was very good), but I guess I'm not getting the hate for the main event, which was honestly pretty enjoyable? Maybe it would have been better to let Sasha and Bianca headline night two so that night two wasn't a series of heel wins and we could have gone home on the happy, feel-good moment, but Roman as a dominant heel has been good and Smackdown has a lot of rising faces to take a run at him (Cesaro and Big E both seem well-positioned, and they finally seem to notice that Cesaro actually exists, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up). In hindsight, the decision to put Bryan in the match is kind of a confusing one if you don't want him to win or eat the pin so Roman can lose the title without being pinned, but it makes sense if they wanted to hedge against Edge not being able to carry a full main event match on his own or if they just decided the three had good chemistry and wanted some variety on a card that was almost entirely singles matches. If they had stuck it on Edge it probably would have been in limbo until Summerslam and putting it on Bryan would have let him face...I dunno, Rollins? Him and Zayn would be fun I guess.

the spot where bryan and edge both had a facelock on roman and started headbutting each other was pretty good. i think the night 2 main was good, but not as good as night 1.

i was listening to the b&v show and i guess i can see a lot of the booking making more sense if they are planning a draft. put roman on raw to see if it can help the ratings recover there.

It would be the funniest thing ever if the studio stepped in, had them write Vin out of the series in the 9th and brought back The Rock for the 10th.

Unfortunately I’m pretty sure Vin Diesel owns a piece of the franchise or something so I don’t think that can happen. He’s got Hogan-esque creative control brother.

i remember reading an article in variety i think a year or two back about how rock or vin or someone actually has a rep watching each fight scene and literally counting how much offense he gets in vs. the other dude and if it gets unbalanced then they force them to reshoot so he can go over

it's very much a "have to look strong even in a loss thing"

nvm i guess it was a rumor from doin some googlin'

but the best rumors all have a bit of truth within them so its my headcanon now (also, did you see the way they choreographed the fight scenes in h&s, i'd fuckin' believe there was someone watching)

It’s not but it wouldn’t surprise me if this was a factor in why wwe is based in that state.

people get this confused a lot but pretty much all private employment in the united states is 'at-will'. the exceptions that exist to this (which do vary from state to state) are for things like "you got fired because you uncovered a criminal act by your boss", or "you got fired because you disobeyed an order to do something that would have broken a law", etc.

the thing that's bad is 'right to work' laws, which prohibit union closed shops

re: Corbin, wwe’s only strength is booking the midcard because it’s the only place they can do anything creative. the main title scene is an endless loop of the same boring feuds, heatless and meaningless stipulations, and groan-inducing finishes. that’s why Corbin is usually pretty good, he’s a miz-caliber guy that gets to sit in the “fun allowed” part of the show

Define "good".

Also define "midcard", while you're at it. Because a decade is a long rear end time and my midcard decade is filled with crap like Rusev/Lashley cuck poo poo.

rusev/lashley cuck poo poo (and Bobby lashleys sisters for that matter) were both abominable midcard angles but they were better than “Brock kills everyone” or “Orton kills everyone” or even “Fiend kills everyone”
