I'm about done with the selfie promos. It seems like a good idea for house shows. Makes you care more instead of guys coming out, wrestling & going home.
On TV though, it just seems lazy.

Didn't Asuka already beat Nia in NXT? And she beat her a few weeks ago on RAW, by countout, but still.
Back when Enzo was still a thing

If Strowman was their World Champion and Brock wasn't anywhere to be found, I'd be happy. Sure Braun isn't a strong wrestler, but he's arguably the best character on the entire roster.
He's so dominant that he shouldn't be just "random monster" who loses title matches. He should be the champion who the challengers are trying & failing to conquer.
Instead Vince is still in love with Brock. Going the Braun route sure would be cheaper though.

I hated Cole's line of "well, you used to know him as Rockstar Spud, now he's Drake Maverick"
WHY??? EXPLAIN WHY HE ISN'T SPUD!!!
I know he's in the WWE Universe now, but have your doofus commentator explain why he's changed his name, or the very least ask Spud why he chose this as a name change.

Did I really hear the word "shit" on a commercial during Raw?

So I usually just fast forward thru commercials and would've missed that "shit" thing in most instances. Is that just totally ok to say now on a commercial after a certain time of day? I was blown away by that.

I was blown away by that. I've heard plenty of arguments from people with kids that the commercials are Attitude Era while the show is PG. |

I think after a certain time, you're aloud to say shit on certain networks.

USA just announced recently that they're going to air unedited "fuck". I think Mr. Robot has pushed the envelope in that regard with no issue.

The women’s revolution would be worthwhile if they had some storylines. Instead it’s just “X wrestler vs Y wrestler!!! Up next after the break!” Not a fan of Nia either. She’s too big for the women. A big show/Yokozuna thing only works when someone can do a Herculean move to them. That’s the whole draw, if it’s just a huge person tossing people around...it gets old. None of the women are strong enough to pull off a move on this behemoth.

Nia and Bayley had a great little feud in NXT a few years ago.
Sasha as a heel should be a big help as far as stories go.
But you're right that recently it is all just people matched up for no reason.

She’s cute, seems to be decent in the ring and on the mic but you can hear a pin drop when she comes out. Not over at all. |

She was a legit can't miss babyface star when she was in NXT.
EVERYONE loved her. Boys. Girls. Teens. And adults.
She was unfuckupable.
Then Vince got a hold of her and here we are.

I guarantee a big part of Vince "messing her up" on the main roster also has to do with him not liking her look. |

I personally think, and have always thought, that Bayley is kinda terrible.

Bayley could've been the female Cena with the kids. Watch Takeover Brooklyn with her vs Sasha. Just watch how many kids were massive fans of hers at any point after that in NXT.
She was called up, made a complete joke & lost all the time, you know cause underdogs always lose & get their big win. Except she got like one big win and they did nothing else with her. She's become an afterthought now.
She was given one storyline & it was that she'd never been kissed & the boy she liked in school was secretly in love with her friend. Remember that fucking segment?? That went off like a fart in church.
Then she "demanded" a Kendo Stick match with Alexa, where she studied matches, only to lose in 5 min at that PPV, in one of the worst matches of the year.
They've treated her like a joke. You can say certain talent can get over in NXT better, but it's not the talents fault on the main roster when they're given shit.

I'm working on a Jim Croce playlist but I do have more Bayley thoughts forthcoming. Interestingly enough, I believe that's one's of the very few 1 or 2 matches from NXT that I've ever seen. I'll clarify "terrible" later.

You've only seen 2 NXT matches???
Dude, you're missing some seriously great wrestling & storytelling.
Step out of that main roster bubble you're living in, ok Michael Cole?
