I thought this topic was about wrestling.

There's too much WWE talk for it to be about wrestling.

Also, KUSHIDA, pls stay. Aren't WWE fan council things asking if they should sign him or something?

Tl;dr Applying a double standard to your perception of men's strength vs women's strength is more sexist than acknowledging a woman is hot, so check yourself.


Except I don't have double standards.

If Roman Reigns started doing chokehold STOS to Braun I'd bitch about that, too.


I think comparing the difference between Reigns and Braun to the difference between Bliss and Sasha is pretty silly.

Braun is 5 inches taller and 120 pounds heavier.
Sasha is 4 inches taller and only 6 pounds heavier.

There's a liiiiittle bit of a difference, there.

He's completely annihilating you in the argument, and you're either an idiot or pretending you don't understand in order to not acknowledge it by continuing to post this.

Probably both.

I know the popular joke right now is "imagine telling someone in 2016 that Summerslam would feature a world title match between Jinder Mahal and Shinsuke Nakamura" but man imagine telling someone back then that the biggest smark favourite in the WWE would be Braun Strowman

Imagine telling someone at any point that some day, the internet would be in love with a big huge dude whose gimmick is that he's a big huge dude that destroys people

Here's the thing

Some of us unironically did call that, because there was a rise in demand for a big dude to break this increasingly flippy mold.

Brock is established, but after him the best bets were Cass, Braun and Corbin.

Braun always looked like the one Vince loved most, so it wasn't too farfetched.

Btw, Kevin Owens PPV streak hit 28, the second highest was Charlotte a.t 24 but that ended. Now it's AJ Styles at 19 which I believe means he's made every PPV since his debut.

I think AJ is a little unrelated. Vince is super high on AJ, which is fantastic. But that's a totally different game than Jinder in India. I could see AJ Grand Slamming faster than anyone else in history at this point.

Maybe he will get a Cena style tag title reign with whoever he is feuding with.

The only answer I have is that it's more of a shock if she debuts after the title is stripped instead of debuting with it.

And that Ember Moon should not have been the one to beat Asuka because Ember Moon is such a total utter lamer in comparison. It still blows my mind how much they've messed up Ember.

She's good at wrestling, no doubt, but in anything but wrestling she comes across as just another chick who tries too hard at trying to be cool. There is literally nothing she does that breaks her out of the pack other than her super sick finisher. Otherwise I would rather watch anyone else, regardless of how good she is.

The second that she came out during a pre-show with a t-shirt on and started talking like "Oh, well you know I'm just looking forward to watching the matches to see these girls go out there and put on a great show" her character was dead.

Really?

She starts out as a mysterious badass who stood out so far above everyone else because she just killed people, smirked with her crazy eyes, and didn't bother ever having to talk, and anytime she did talk is was smirk, say a few words, and she oozed confidence.

Now she's just some random chick who wears colored contacts who will tell people how super serious she is about beating people and has video packages about how she's so disappointed that she got an injury and lost her chance at a title win. There is absolutely nothing to her character at all now and hasn't been for a long time except for a win streak and hype. She doesn't have half the charisma and intrigue she did when she debuted.
