According to Dave:

100% scripted except for the part where Roman forgot his lines

They're specifically trying to replicate Cena vs Rock and they don't realize Roman isn't The Rock

Because one Samoan with long hair and muscles and talks like Batista's absent minded brother is so similar to a Samoan with no hair, even more gigantic muscles, and walks around as a walking catchphrase machine with 20 years WWE & movie acting experience and is the highest profile action star in the world.

Totally the same guy...

"Sheamus did this spot where he usually does the 10 forearms and the people count along, but this time he stopped at 3 to get some heat. The idea is that people will get mad because they want to count to 10 and now they can't."


Wrestling is dumb
---

I think that trick only works for flashy moves, like the Red Arrow or other dives.

Yeah it takes a particular level of genius to think of writing your promo on your hand.

Apparently it does! Reigns just stood there like an idiot when he froze up

WWE promo school:

They had a contract right there! They could have put notes there for him to refer to.

*zoom in on the contract*

*Roman signs right next to 'call John a part-timing bitch.'"

RAW started great but just went ech, quite quickly.

To be fair, nothing is logically wrong with that scenario.
---

Is it weird that they try to weave "the fans decide who the top guys are" and "you're a corporate creation shoved down our throats" into the same thought process? Seems contradictory
---

The question is; Who will be booed HARDER on fight night?

Laughing way too hard at this

Roman. This is actually to get Cena over!
---

Roman can put notes on his stupid arm guards like quarterbacks do on theirs!

But yeah, it's pretty hilarious having Cena try to convince us that people who get over with the crowd are constantly pushed when there's been so many times crowds stop giving a shit about a guy because they constantly make them job out.
---

Apparently the dr Wagner unmasking outdrew the maymac fight in mexico.

Both were on the same channel, so viva wrestling!

Grocery list on one arm, promo on the other

Accidentally forgets which is which.

"You think you're so special John, but you're nothing but a...carton of eggs!"


...actually maybe this explains Sufferin' Succotash and Magic Beans

This is a real think WWE is selling:

---

It's stupid as hell but that's one of the best designed shirts I've ever seen from WWE Shop
---

Better than some other Natalya gimmicks
---

Is it though?
---

Natalya's had some awful gimmicks let me tell ya. You've probably just repressed them.
---

No I remember stuff like the farting gimmick and dancing with Khali and stuff.

I'm really not sure this is better.
---

It's pretty much impossible to be worse than the farting gimmick. I can't think of anything worse ever. This includes the Bastion Booger
---

This is a million times better than either of those

"Crazy cat lady" is nowhere near as bad as the farting
---

Farting is hilarious. The execution was bad but I will never disagree with the concept of a good fart joke.
---

I miss her old cat Gizmo though

Wish he was on the shirt as like an angel kitty or something

It took Vince three years to notice Seth's silly pause in his music. Maybe he'll notice Owens in 2021 and go, "We gave that guy titles all the time?" Seriously, Owens almost never goes a month without a title reign of some sort. The whole U.S. statpadding was a bit much, but 2-3 IC reigns, the Universal, and god knows how many U.S. titles. He's definitely had success.

Silly pause? I looove that pause. It's like Edge's theme, where you just get hype and then STAY HYPE

Watched 09 rumble on a whim, reminded me of 2 things


1- RVD's theme is so good. Maybe one of the best of all time

2- Seeing Hacksaw reminded me on a random episode of Nitro he called out Hogan saying "I havent forgotten about you Hogan!" and Bobby Heenan replied "I can guarentee he's forgotten about you!"
---

I really really love Chad Gable's style. Like, Jason Jordan's style is basically grab, toss, run, and corner tackle. Which, I guess is exciting sometimes, but it gets pretty repetitive and predictable once you've seen it a couple times. Gable's is just precise executions of the moves with clean transitions. It's really satisfying to watch.

I'm ok with Corbin wanting to be Styles' opponent for an ongoing feud, but I want to see someone race and beat Corbin out there.

Only if they say "Yoink!" while running past him
---

Well, there's the sneaky camera angle and there's the sneaky Corbin coming up. I knew something was gonna happen as soon as you couldn't see behind Tye on the camera lol
---

I got my wish.
---

Wait did I just turn on TNA?
---

Kevin Owens is probably the funniest person on the roster. Everything he does makes me laugh. Putting on the ref shirt just know was hilarious. His face every time something doesn't go his way is priceless. I love it.
---

so we all agree then

We need a superstar strike again, but instead of Punk, Cena, Sheamus and HHH, we get Owens, Zayn, Nakamura and Styles staying

Owens on commentary, Zayn as ref and Styles vs Nakamura

Whatever you say ZIGGMAN!

IS XAVIER WOODS WEARING A SIGN THAT SAYS "IT'S SORE" BECAUSE OF HIS INJURY

LMFAO
---

DUN DUN!

Hell yeah
---

"I know what this is!"
"What?"
"It's a title!"
"No, it's a belt."

Too good.

He's also a walking contradiction too

Remember he punished Lana and Rusev for getting married in real life

His whims are tough to predict

serena and the SES

shes back!

Damn, Jinder wasn't looking too bad on his work until that sloppy, sloppy DDT spot. That was disgusting.

That's an arrow!

God I watched a match a little under a year ago featuring Jinder Mahal and Jack Swagger and holy shit there was nothing to Jinder.

I thought he came back huge, instead he got huge over the course of this run.

...Sasha lost the title again 0_o

Hey, PWI finally allowed it to happen

There really was no other option
