Give bray a 20 minute slot on syfy to play with puppets and we could discuss its merits as something fairly entertaining.

It's the fact that this is supposed to somehow lead back to an in ring, athletic confrontation is where the problems crop up.

As is, who would even want to feud with Wyatt right now? Its a one way path to just complete burial because you have time sell fear, which is alwaya fucking cheesy and makes you look like a fucking moron, and then you're gonna get all of even your most protected offense no sold.

Wasn't this story designed to have Rollins in a sympathetic role?

It is his fault - he's been basically awful since this time last year and is only where he is because Roman got cancer and was the best they could do.

But as we argued over last week the guy is in most of our estimations not even as good as Kofi at this point in time.

He's gonna get nuked and he deserves it. But this was never going to go WELL. The red light and overall conceit were fucking stupid.

Cain thing kinda reminded me of TITO ORTIZ!?!?! in a way. I guess maybe the Fox audience will be into it though. Are any wrestling fans actually into this? I mean I've watched enough UFC to "get it" and I'm not.


They really did everything possible to minimize its impact. So yeah if you were getting Rampage/Tito vibes so were me and scarlet.

They also cast it in what was basically the samenlight as Tyson Fury/Braun and they did so immediately after turboburying Kofi who say what Steiner will is still really popular and respected.

But worst of all, after Ronda I'm not sure that even done well this is an angle that can work in yhe WWE

Positioning Becky to be The Rock for a new era is smart.

Showing the fans your angle that is the hokiest wrestlecrap imaginable very early in a new show is a good way to demonstrate that WWE is still the same WWE that is uncool that you don't watch anymore is not smart.

Frasier - "The Ski Lodge"
Nominated by: Poke


Screwball comedy at its finest. The Ski Lodge distills the comedic arithmetic of a series of comically improbably events into a cogent, coherent, tight narrative. There's nothing in this episode that is unnecessary. No clutter whatsoever.

I highly recommend you simply watch it. The episode gives a premise and six characters right away, proceeding to build five different relationships with great efficiency before inserting one moment of misunderstanding that causes it all to fall apart like a house of cards. This is how you write comedy. The simplicity of each character, with clear flaws (stupidity, homophobia, chauvinism) is played up perfectly, and the karmic retribution plied against the cast makes everything go down easily. Just an excellent episode of Frasier.

Writing: 9/10
Characterization: 8/10
Scarlet Factor: 9/10
Overall Rating: 26/30


I love that episode, but Frasier becomes a real bear to binge for this reason, Frasier just piles on this exact sort of karma almost every week.

Aki Ross was def worse than any of the FFX gutter trash if it makes you feel better charon. I may not be in the majority on this but that was the worst entrant.


I forgot about Aki Ross, but to be fair, we did mostly all call that out as shit.

She'd have never gotten nominated in and thanks to him, she was never in any danger of being booted til he was gone.

Three Reasons:

1) FFD didnt make a big fuss when his support of Gippal caused Zell or Gilgamesh to go out early.

2) I think you overstate the level to which there was an acceptance of Gippal. But to the extent that there was, FFD's random runs were always about good fun and featured good fun and somewhat memorable characters, which Gippal is. Yours have featured Isaaru Dona and Braska who are bad, bad, and non memorable. Plus theres no novelty to it now since its already been done, so you dont even get that going for you. If I tried to push Maria or Josef instead of the good FF2 characters I would get the same rejection and pushback, especially since I've already been on the FF2 train for a while now. .

3) I also think you have to know that theres a difference in level of charisma there between FFD and most other people when it comes to this contest and just accept it already. Whereas you have a history of presenting a persecution complex anytime things go wrong, much like you did just now. Whereas if you recall War would push to get in stuff like Tristam or Dad and while people complained, he didnt have thin skin about it and people came around.

I mean the Denver Broncos have two losses in part because of two questionable late roughing the passer penalties. But no asterisk there.

Shenanigans happen in the NFL all the time and the records still stand. The NBA has literally put out post match reports admitting that the refs made bad calls that decided the winner, but the win still stands.

It just happens a bit more often in wrestling, but the same rules apply. Referees call is final. If they miss something to bad. Once the winner is decided it cant be reversed.


To that end Excalibur actually name dropped that they're tracking referee quality too in kayfabe - Aubrey Edwards apparently has the highest score and Earl the lowest.

So Earl missing a call is actually in character for Earl being older and less competent.

It's all on the presentation layer. Like you can say the matches didn't matter but the commentary stressed things like Pac would have a legit argument at getting a title shot with another high profile win here, and how overall win/loss records matter, etc etc. NXT doesn't outright treat matches as meaningless like WWE often does but it doesn't to me feel like many matches matter much beyond in a vacuum a lot of the time.

And I guess the key here is

I don't associate things like
heel faction beatdowns
bad guest commentators
pointless celebrity appearances
dumb unclean finishes (that don't involve distractions/interference into a schoolboy)

With WWE. I associate them with wrestling. WWE overuses them but like it's not inherently a WWE trait for me. It's mostly the stuff I mentioned specifically that gives WWE specifically negative associations for me. That doesn't mean it doesn't have other dumb stuff it does but on the presentation layer those are the important things to avoid and AEW did that and NXT doesn't as much it's mostly the commentary really and I said as much (NXT cutting to commercials during matches more often is also a big thing-- though they did it less last night for at least part of the show I'm not convinced that'll be the norm)

But I mean literally the first segment of NXT on USA's first show was Triple H blowing smoke up NXT's ass to put it in perspective a bit. I'm pretty sure literally every match on the first show ended with a finisher move or distraction too.

To me as far as presentation goes those kind of things are a hell of a lot more important than the arenas looking smaller as far as it feeling like a legit alternative.
