SD at 2.04 million this week...not sure why they are not promoting Cena and putting him on the show while he's there each week doing dark matches...

I like that. Let the live crowd see him but keep his TV appearances special. Promoting him for TV every week might give a small ratings boost but this is better long-term for the overall product.
It’s a very non-Vince thing to do nowadays though. Odd. |

I guess they don’t want to feature him in a match, and having him cut the same (awful IMO) “shoot” promos every week would also get stale quickly. I quite like that they have Balor setup as Roman’s “TV programme” as long as it’s setting up those two for post-SummerSlam.

Shawn Michaels would have told Vince he can’t work in this environment and gotten the much less valuable Norton fired, thus winning the fight technically.

As someone who has won an irl fight or two without ever needing to break a sweat, I respect the method.

An AEWsexual is your basement dwelling AEW fan who is straight but would have to rape a chick to get laid.

It's this weird thing where they want to manufacture guys who actually become Hollywood big shots and crossover pop culture icons, but when it actually happens, they seem to get offended and take a giant shit on it. Mark my words: the same thing will happen to Roman in about 5 years after outside interests start calling heavily and he fucks off to be in commercials and television dramas outside of WWE. |

It's kind of crazy how many mega stories have taken place in wrestling the past few years but right now has got to be one of the tops. WWE potentially preparing for a big sale down the road, releasing 119 talents since 2020. A new league rising up and being able to survive a year long pandemic with no live audiences, now signing name talent from WWE.
Just a wild ride right now. |

I wonder what's up with Toni Storm. They promoted her SD debut and she had her match but hasn't been used since then.

Toni Storm personally raised Fig from the dead in his main event with COVID. The ref didn't see it, and Fig got the 1-2-3.

Baron Corbin and Roman Reigns are the two most entertaining things in WWE today. 2016 me would be very, very, very confused by hearing that.

I'm guessing that was a botch? Since goldberg came back a few years ago they're always firing his pyro off before he gets there so he's only in it a few seconds. And it still looks shit compared to the wcw version. |

Corbin was just exposed and overexposed. Funny how he was over with his "timed" NXT squash matches. Once he started having longer matches, everyone could see the emperor's lack of clothes and that he was pretty shit. It took him a long time to even improve in the ring (way too long into his main roster run, honestly). From a lot of backstage rumors, he's apparently a really nice guy, and he's obviously down to do whatever dumb shit they write for him, but if he didn't look the way he does (read: tall) he would have been housecleaned a few WrestleMania's ago and nobody would've cared. |
