The banter between Corey & Coach could get pretty good.

Jeremy Borash signs with WWE.
That's a nice pickup for them. He's been a really creative guy who worked well with Matt on the BROKEN universe.

Wow that really is a great signing for them. He can do a bit of everything.
That might not seem like it, but that is a rather big blow for TNA, because like I said, he does virtually everything there for them.
Remember listening to Bruce talk about his time in TNA and saying how he originally thought Borash was nothing more than a stooge, but then he met him & realized just how much of an asset he was for that company.

Put me in the excited camp with Borash. I thought the same as Bruce and then Borash ended up on Howard Stern with Angle. I looked into everything he was responsible for which is crazy. Imagine that work ethic with a direction.

Looks like a couple of the ladies were far from thrilled about Ronda showing up.

Of all the women, Tits Bella says something, seriously?
Thought she'd be too busy with her 2 reality shows & being showcased on Dancing with the Stars to be pissed about that.
Don't blame Ronda, thank her, because of her you went on last at the show. Not her fault. It's WWE's for not properly pushing the women into actual main event draws.

Tits was the main women's draw in the era right before this one.

Looks like many of them are pissed about Ronda. Sasha was on with Bubba Ray and said something to the effect, of "I have nothing nice to say" about it. Nia has also Tweeted about it.
They need to accept that it's mainstream attention and that's what is grabbing the headlines in the real sports world. It's what will bring more eyes on the product and build their division even more...making them more money.
While the Chicks Rumble is a very big deal within Wrestling, it's a blip in the mainstream sports world.

I don't believe for a second someone like Sasha is legit pissed about it.
Nia maybe.

I think they have a legit gripe. This isn't someone like the Rock coming back and taking a top billing spot. This isn't someone like Brock Lesnar who did wrestling first before MMA. This is someone with ZERO pro wrestling background and paid ZERO dues. These women on the current roster have busted their ass to get the respectability the current product has, and here comes Ronda with top star status and overshadow Asuka winning the Rumble. Fuck that.

That's not Ronda's fault though. That's WWE's fault for not building female stars big enough to grab mainstream attention on their own. Of course Ronda will go to the main roster, what do you expect her to do, go to NXT? That'd be a waste.
They brought in Tyson to boost ratings & put WWE in the mainstream back in 98 and it worked wonders. They're doing this now with the female division with the biggest name draw for female athletes (in these kinds of sports, I know there are higher paid more recognizable female athletes, but that's not my point). One would have to assume she's working somehow with Steph & Triple H at Mania with either Kurt/Braun/Rock as her partner (not against someone on the women's roster). What that does is draw more mainstream attention to the product, which is what WWE wants.
Girls on that roster would kill to work with her because of the media it would bring. Ronda has been training for close to a year. While that's nothing to really boast about, I guarantee you she'd already be better than at least a few girls on that roster (Foxy, Dana, Lana, Tamina). Plus when she does start wrestling women on the roster, they don't need long matches from her, give her the Brock schedule.

Not saying it is Ronda's fault - but the top women have a legit gripe. And this isn't like the Tyson deal - that was a one off for Austin/Michaels match. This seems to be something Ronda is going to be doing full time now. And I think the amount of crossover between pro wrestling and MMA is much less than people think. Especially for kids under 14 and their parents don't let them watch UFC.

I'm just saying they should be pissed at the company, not Ronda. Those who are bitching about Ronda are clearly doing it in hopes of being paired with her eventually because they know it will make money due to Ronda's name.
I'm happy she'll do this full time, but get as much off the name & draw as you can. Don't water her down by being on weekly. Put Heyman with her & barely let her talk, she's not a good talker, so hide that weakness. Have her mean mug the fuck out of everyone.
I'm comparing her to Tyson because he was brought in to boost ratings & viewers. Ronda is the same thing, right around the time when TV contracts are up. People see a major name like her, they'll give more money. At least I think so.

Sasha should worry about selling her kicks and Tits should just never speak....ever...or do anything...ever.

Watched the MMC this week and was insanely entertained.
Funny stuff from everyone.
Sami and Becky were great, but Braun stole the show.

Big Dave's ratings are in for Rumble weekend
Mens Rumble 4.25
AJ/KO/Sami 3.5
Womens Rumble 3.25
Usos/Alpha 3
The Bar/Rollins/Jordan 2.5
Brock/Kane/Braun 2
Almas/Gargano 5
Black/Cole 4.25
reDragon/AOP 3.5
Dream/Ohno 2.75
Ember/Shayna 2.75
Happy Gargano/Almas got a 5 (first NXT match to ever get one). It's Top 3 all time NXT match for me, arguably the best. Happy it's getting so much praise. Also happy the Brock match got the lowest rating of the weekend. It was boring & a cut and paste of everything we've seen for months.

Dream/Ohno was better than Ember/Shayna. |

Had zero clue Tye Dillinger & Peyton Royce have been a couple for nearly 3 years.
I know this is cheesy as all hell to say, but well done for Dillinger landing a 10!

Papa Roach is terrible. I don't understand how or why people like or listen to their music.
