I over waiting for someone to work out that you beat Roman by having a friend take out Jey.

WWE heat and cheating sucks when it's the same thing every time.

I realized that I meant Jey instead of Jimmy because I had been thinking Jimmy has to be back at some point.

But yeah Jey seems to get little to no comeuppance. Sure you can punch him in the face or pin him in a match but he is going to show up again anyway to outsmart the faces.

Rollins is a dweeb but the character seems to be leaning into it a bit. He is a perfectly fine wrestle guy who can give a solid match against most people.

The Rey Mysterio eye angle sucked though.

In a vacuum, I don't find Karrion Kross terrible but knowing he's a chud makes it hard to get into him. It seems relatively common knowledge and may be one reason why he hasn't connected, same with Raquel Gonzalez.

I have no trouble believing that Tommy and Mox could come out of the same environment with completely differing takes because the way they were treated there was likely very different too.

Mox's problem was that Vince felt he knew how to write Ambrose better than anyone, including Mox. So it lead to a lot of arguing back and forth about Ambrose doing this or that (and usually Vince wanted something stupid) that made Mox get physically sick whenever he went into work.

Tommy's problem is that, not only did he write up this giant year-long arc for his character in a company that is absolutely incapable of doing long-term storytelling, Vince also didn't 'get' his character. There was nothing for him to tweak, no sense of ownership for Vince. So there was no arguing back and forth, there was just no clue what to do with him.

I imagine face to face it was in one ear and out the other with Vince, who'd just tell Tommy that he loved the ideas he had. As soon as Tommy left and was well out of earshot, most likely Vince turned to one of his yes men and likely said 'I don't get it, pal!'

Mox got deprogrammed pretty fast, so did Andrade and Tucker.

Possibly, I had wondered if they were building to a WWE Champion vs. Universal Champion unification match at WrestleMania though apparently the networks want their own champions.

You figured someone in her position would at least scrub her social media accounts. It's easy to find out if someone's a chud or not these days. Since she seems extremely proud of that she's a chud, it makes her extremely unlikeable.

I think 90% of the reaction to her and Aliyah winning last night was very negative.
