didn’t Orton just RKO her head into the mat like a month ago as part of this build

Yeah there was no new injury transitioning from tagging to the Fiend angle. She’s had a few matches under it.

Spiderdrake posted:

But she went from being constantly in the main event to having her brain scrambled by nia and rousey and then doing way more low-key stuff. He career has a really obvious trajectory after that.

I mean, nobody was allowed in the Raw main event except Charlotte or Becky during that whole time too so who knows.

since today is going to be the most active Bo Dallas discussion day in over 2 years, let me fire off a hot take:

Bo Dallas is a better wrestler and sports entertainer than Bray Wyatt. he would have made The Firefly Funhouse and The Fiend shine like Bray never could have drat it

He's a hollow earth, chemtrails, lizard people guy.

So yeah it would have been much better.

Kinda want to see the Ultimate Warrior episode to see how they ignore his post wrestling career as a professional racist and homophobe.

Isn't the WWE narrative that he was a non-specific bad person who found god before his death and dedicated himself to charity?

It is still utterly insane that the only real credible babyface the RAW Women's Division has at the moment is Asuka. Rhea, Charlotte, and Alexa are all clear cut heels.

Man, just wait until after Backlash where they'll end up running a bunch of heatless heel vs heel feuds.

Alexa's latest feud was with Randy Orton, they may still consider her a face.

She's pretty convincingly a heel after Wrestlemania where she turned on The Fiend. And cut a promo saying she was going to dominate the entire RAW Women's Division, because all of them are mean evil jerks and Lilly wants them all destroyed.

But if she wants to destroy them all, and they're all heels...!

Segment by segment wrestling ratings are so weird.

There are actually people out there, apparently tens of thousands, who change the channel when someone they don't like as much is on screen? Instead of opening up a website to shitpost about it like a normal person?

It's crazy.

DeepDickPizza posted:

The really hosed up thing is that out of all the 80's/early 90's wrestlers that you can choose from, Tatanka isn't even that big of a name. You're willfully choosing to do a racism on your child rather than pick a more well-known wrestler, I guess because Native American headdresses are still a common thing at costume shops and you're working backwards? Oof.

The kid might be first nations. Which doesn't make it okay, but would explain the choice.

Does Spooky Alexa and her Spookier dolly have anyone to feud with yet?

Coz she has done a couple of vignettes, but I dunno if they are leading to her feuding with anyone specific yet.

Maybe Carmella? A pretty, glamourous, "diva" of a woman vs the spooky scary child. There could be shenanigans when/if Carmella steals the doll, and/or mirror weirdness as Carmella is putting on her make-up etc.

Carmella is apparently on Smackdown.

Silly questions.

But do they wish refs "the best in all future endeavours" when they get fired? Did Drake get fired so bad/nastily that the racist fascist that he is didn't even get that, (like TJP)?

What about the others? Were they liked/respected enough to get the "future endeavours" line?

Also, when Drake gets his poo poo posted to him in a garbage bag, will that be an issue?

NXT releases usually don't get any official post.

Tuning out when they're bored is one thing but segment by segment ratings tracking implies that people are somehow hearing about who's on screen while watching other things and switching over and lol at the idea anyone discusses NXT live. That doesn't even happen here.

If it isn't just 99% related to commercial timing, VJeff will write an essay on 30 wrestlers more All Elite than Karrion Kross.

Zelina came into chat on a friend's Twitch stream last night for a little bit. She does cosplay stuff, and Zelina's pretty into that so she follows her I guess.

She had no idea who she was and kept calling her "The Trinidad" (Zelina's Twitch username is theatrinidad, her real name), and thought she was Malakai/Aleister because all the videos on her channel are of him.

I don't have proof this is why Shane was fired, but...
