Yeah I know, it's just better alongside another insane old man saying the wrong things. It's like Art rubbed off on him or something. Not sexually.
He just keeps asking how much they weigh and if you'd want to play football against them. |

I am glad I haven't seen this before, there's a good chance I'd have "How much does this guy weigh?" as my ringtone.

Just finished listening to the Austin walks out episode of Grilling Jr.
I love that Conrad and JR don't even mention Austin beating the shit out of Debra |

I never forgave him for it.
Debra McMichael literally caused me to hit puberty when I was watching her intro. |

The way I've heard her tell the story is it was ongoing, and he pretty much treated her like she was his prisoner. Similar to Savage and Liz, except more fucked up and violent.
In fact, the more you think about it, Austin - at that time - had similar energy to the Macho Man. Very intense, chaotic, and tightly wound. It all kind of adds up. |

I'm not gonna throw stones at anyone who can't bring themselves to acknowledge Austin's actions. After attending Wrestlemania X-8, Hulk Hogan would literally have to murder a child in front of me to get me to turn on him.

Been like that since the start of the year and probably Triple H's idea if I had to guess. Basis of the idea revolves around making the NXT brand feel equal to RAW and Smackdown in terms of PPV events being on a Sunday.

Fuck that. Saturday shows for NXT made them feel different/special.

Yeah. Ever since WWE started making a bunch of changes to NXT in response to AEW, the brand has lost a lot of that special luster it used to have.
Saturdays are now mostly reserved for big WWE Network specials that are not TakeOver shows. Probably would have had another big special on the Network yesterday if it wasn't for the coronavirus. |

The Nexus was formed one decade ago today.
One of the best segments ever. |

I remember the outrage here, myself included, when Bryan got released abruptly.
In hindsight probably a blessing in disguise to not have him saddled into that angle as it gave him a little bit of extra buzz when he returned. But had he stuck around I think his endgame would've been similar. He would've been the ring general for the Nexus for a few months and probably would've been the one to get over as a result, and therefore the first one to turn face and leave the group anyway. |

Pretty sure if someone made a huge deal out of the Austin stuff *now* there would be a different reaction.

Nope, much like Chris Brown he'd be fine because the media would hide the worst of it.
People still don't realise how badly some women get beaten when it makes the press. It's never just a slap. |

People respond to different things in different ways in different circumstances. Austin largely gets a pass -- for whatever reason. Doesn't make it right. Others don't. We have an idiosyncratic culture.

Reminds me of other female "crazy" gimmicks...... except she's allowed to talk a bit more.
Nikki Cross & Victoria come to mind. |

I haven't watched in awhile so I don't know the full story and what lead up to that point but that just seems like a whole lot of retreading that has been done numerous times before.
Divas who were at one point in time considered crazy: Luna Victoria Mickie James Nikki Cross Trish (During her feud with Mickie) AJ Lee Alicia Fox Lita Ruby Riott Daffney I'm probably forgetting some. |

Lana seems to be heading in that potential direction based on her recent hatred and interactions with MVP for taking her Bobby away.

This was one of the stupidest fucking turning points ever, by the way. Just drop everything that has ever been anything for the characters "Rusev and Lana" and go the thirsty bitch route. |

Apologies if I sound like I bash it too much, just to come to a forum and talk about it. I WANT it to be good, I WANT to have a reason to actually watch it. I just haven't found that in a very long time and doesn't seem like I will anytime soon.

Completely undid all the vignettes they were doing for Liv's return for a trash tv like moment and led to nothing in the end because of Rusev's contract dispute and nobody wanting to see an actual feud between Lana and Liv. |
