"It's too hard to write Asuka as an unstoppable badass with a winning streak, so we're going to prematurely end her streak so it's easier to write for her."

Then they proceeded to not use her for over half a year and miraculously, by her own merit alone, she is still very over.

Hey man we love pretty colors.

Asuka definitely Billy Gunn'ed the first Women's Royal Rumble.

I mean the WWE literally used Asuka's streak to put over Carmella.

I'm not sure what anyone could do with that.

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

But who is Billy Gunn?
---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

Asuka isn't 40+ year old Kane.
---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

I walked out on Taker/Roman at WM33.

Mostly because Taker was 4 years removed from his last good match.

On a positive note, supposedly Mustafa Ali was very over in his hometown of Chicago against Bryan and Miz

I'm trying to figure out if they're legit building towards Ali vs. Bryan for the RR. They legit might be.

Also Charlotte isn't a huge star.

Charlotte is HHH. Hell, her getting pushed consistently for 3+ years and only becoming relevant to mainstream media was because of Becky.

Basically, Becky is Austin, Charlotte is HHH, and Asuka is... Mankind? Only one of these three is gonna be a huge potential cross over star. And sure as hell ain't gonna be the woman who's won, what, 8 titles already? Her chance to get big came and went. Hell, she's not even out of her father's shadow yet.

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

Or women are still struggling to win over average house show goer.

Like if you love Becky and Charlotte so much, would you really buy a ticket only to bail on your opportunity mere minutes before the show ends?

Keep in mind I watch this shite just at PPV time but I watch that TLC match. 2 of those ladies got great reactions and one was an afterthought.

When the afterthought wins to become champion thats gonna hurt your houseshows when you run the rematch.

We must be watching different TLC matches because all three got good reactions.

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

As an absolutely huge Becky mark, I was happy Asuka won because a) she deserved to be champ by now and b) Becky can now focus on Ronnie.

According to the Observer, Vince wants to give a huge push to Mandy Rose

Of course he does

To be fair, Dave has gushed about her being a star independent of Vince's feelings.

Vlado is the argument equivalent of a guy spinning a bunch of plates on top of poles. It's somewhat impressive but in the end it all falls apart.

You mean those hard hitting words about how we aren't pulling out any time soon?

Also, weren't you the one that posted that image showing how crime had decreased in America thanks to lax gun laws? How can we have both record high and record low crime?

You know what hurts the middle class? When a government cuts the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and corporations reward their middle class employees by... not raising their wages and using the vast majority for stock buybacks. On the flip side, Republicans are constantly trying to cut back on things that DO help the middle class like Social Security and Medicare.

And more importantly what does this have anything to do with immigration? Immigrants commit violent crimes at lower rates. Immigrants end up paying taxes. Hell, 2nd generation immigrants literally end up making as much as your average US citizen.

Its funny watching you blame the government for our problems and being right about it being the government. You're also completely wrong about what the government is doing wrong.

There was a near wrinkle to the match where Rousey was reluctant at various points and Natalya took advantage, including countering an armbar attempt into a sharpshooter.

This isn't Africa, it's Japan.

Careful, your racism is showing more than usual.

And once again, if it's not a problem then why is Japan's government trying to fix it?
---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

Vlado posted...

Your point? Japan could function just as well with half the current population. There's nothing to be afraid of. Birth rates are easily reversable, destroying your country with immigration takes a lot more effort to reverse, as we will see in the coming few decades in Western Europe.

Because a shrinking younger population will struggle to support their older population, which means an increase in poverty both among the aged and youth. Poverty is a big driver of famine, disease, and crime. If a smaller population was fine, why is the government putting significant funds into avoiding it?

Not to mention, America has been growing its population since 1776 and it's doing just fine. How have we destroyed ourselves?

Did anyone take from that last Promo AJ was winning the Rumble?

Cena is winning after a surprise return to face Bryan. Book it.

I would be honestly surprised if this wasn't the angle, then he'll drop it either the next Smackdown to pop ratings or the next PPV.

Oh, so because FBI refused to investigate, this must be fake as well... Oh wait. lmfao

You are defending literal pedophiles just so you don't see Trump supporters be right about something. Think long and hard about that.

You do realize local police can investigate things too, right? Do you just assume every arrest was FBI related?

I'm just glad its finally happening, though I wonder if they're gonna do one per brand or one interbrand title.

But at least it guarantees one more women's match at WM.

Wow, you're totally ignorant on geopolitics, aren't you? What refugees? The war is practically over, and the actual refugees who went to Europe already went back to Syria

You do realize that there's still a ton of ISIS fighters in there, right? Syria is gonna continue to be a bloodbath. I mean we had 2000 troops there and there wasn't any US fatalities so the only change is support.

If you think Syria is gonna head towards some age of peace you're dumber than you've presented so far. And as we can see, that threshold is vast.

If we're pulling out of Syria while increasing the number of Syrian refugees we take in I'm absolutely for it.

Basically his 2006 run was boring as shit

Even that promo about how hes not fond of the black people and wants to tap out Jesus?

I thought that was 2005.

I just remember 2006 being "YEAAAAH! YEAAAAAH! YOUR BUTT IS MINE, ORTON!"
---

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

I dunno, even when WWE was doing good business its characters were pretty doofus-y. From Hogan to Mr. McMahon making an ass out of himself for Austin's sake to a large portion of The Rock's run.

I feel like we had no-nonsense Kurt during that time period. He just went by Chris Benoit.

how's this take: Angle's career is perceived a level lower than it had the potential to be because he allowed himself to be booked as a silly comedy guy when tough, no nonsense, business kurt angle could have been an all time top 10 act in the business

Considering Angle was at his absolute best being a doofus, I'm gonna disagree. In fact, he's top 3 for me strictly because of his goofy heel runs.

Basically his 2006 run was boring as shit and I never followed TNA.

TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues.

Something I took away from Kurt Angles Hall of Fame speech was never be afraid to make a fool of yourself and dont take yourself too seriously. I really let that sink in and ran with it. In my career Ive had several different paths and character turns. I was a manager in NXT, then I was the last draft pick and then with James Ellsworth as a champion. I feel its important to show different sides of my character and I never take myself too seriously. Ill never be like oh thats too silly for me or Carmellas too cool for that. Any opportunity I get I want to make the most of it and Im not afraid to look like an idiot. Some people take themselves way too seriously, but its WWE the E stands for entertainment and thats what I want to bring to it. Anyone can go out and have a match but its a matter of connecting with the fans and making them react one way or another, whether its making them laugh, or get mad, or be happy. Youve got to make them feel some sort of way. Whatever it is I have to do to achieve that, I want to do the best I can.

Carmella seems like a super cool person.
