(+) Yeah! (+)

So Impact just booked Fenix/Pentagon vs Ortiz/Santana so that's pretty hype.

Plus they have Jordynne Grace full time now and she rules. Easily the best person all in exposed me to

I dreamed last night that Bubba Ray Dudley came out as a trans woman, having discovered this late in life after an angle where he was forced to crossdress

a few months ago I dreamed Miz killed himself so I am not really sure why my subconscious is trying to analyze wrestlers <_>

The #IrresistibleForce and the #MonolithicMute are apparently some busy ladies with no spare time to catch the ass whoopin thats coming to them. Good thing this Monday on #RAW @niajaxwwe https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq0PBASHxax/?utm_source=ig_twitter_share&igshid=ewj5utzqpa8

I dont have time for a social media war. spend less time on here and more time learning how to wrestle

Ronda is worlds better than Nia in the ring. They're closer on the mic, but in the ring Ronda is so much better. Nia telling someone else that they need to learn how to wrestle is hilarious.

That's the point since everyone tells her to learn how to wrestle. Because she has now been taught that if she does something wrong (like she has done constantly) that it is okay if she turns it into heat.

She's got a point then

While you're not wrong, the first part of her message is probably a good one!

I absolutely buy that Dean segment as coming straight from Vince, at least
---

I've kinda stopped watching WWE but I took a quick moment to watch the Ambrose segment you mentioned.

Isn't the whole point of him being a heel that he turned on Seth? Not that he's a generic asshole?
---

is AJ purposely ripping off Highlander with the new merch? I'm okay with it, I'm just wondering.

A less than usual garbage garbage Raw at least...

Only read the cliff notes but Corbin to get comeuppance via Slater being the referee seems a possibility

https://www.wrestleview.com/wwe-news/119667-vince-mcmahon-sells-nearly-23-million-in-wwe-stock/

According to a stock sale report on Monday in an SEC filing, Vince McMahon (Chairman and CEO) sold 306,000 shares of WWE stock last week.

This translates to an amount of $22,866,523.61, which was filed on November 30.

This news comes just days before an XFL press conference is set to take place this week from Metlife Stadium to announce the eight cities and teams for the 2020 season.

WWE also issued a press release announcing two new Board of Directors today.

WWE ELECTS MAN JIT SINGH AND ALAN WEXLER TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS

STAMFORD, Conn., December 3, 2018 WWE (NYSE: WWE) today announced that Man Jit Singh, former President of Home Entertainment at Sony Pictures Entertainment and Alan Wexler, CEO of Publicis.Sapient have been elected to its Board of Directors.

The appointments of Man Jit and Alan to WWEs Board of Directors will add tremendous value as we continue to reimagine our business, said Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman & CEO. Our Board of Directors and senior management team are well-positioned to drive our companys long-term growth.

Man Jit Singh is a seasoned media executive with global experience across product innovation, growth strategy and business development. Singh was with Sony Pictures Entertainment from 2007 until March 2018 where he was most recently President, Home Entertainment. Prior to being President, Singh oversaw Sonys Multi Screen Media subsidiary in India, where he was instrumental in moving into the sports market with the launch of television and digital offerings. Prior to joining Sony, Singh was a senior executive at several technology, staffing, management consulting and consumer product companies.

Alan Wexler, CEO of Publicis.Sapient, has been working at the intersection of creative, digital and technology for more than 30 years. As CEO, Wexler runs the companys offices globally, leads a team of 17,000, cultivates key agency relationships with a roster of blue-chip brands and advises senior clients on the impact of digital on their businesses. Wexler has extensive experience in the advertising and branding space, and has been with Sapient Corporation, which was acquired by Publicis Groupe, in several senior leadership positions for nearly 20 years. Prior to joining Publicis.Sapient, Wexler held leadership roles at IBM, AT&T and Dektek, Inc.

I know this is probably just XFL related, but I'd like to hope that after how bad Raw was last week and the report that Vince was the driving force behind it, that Vince is being forced out of power.

Apparently Rhyno legitimately retired last night. It's a shame they did nothing with him and Slater after their Smackdown Tag Title win. I always enjoyed Rhyno though. I feel like he could teach a lot to people in the performance center.

Becky should lose at TLC right?

Why should she lose?

Charlotte is winning the Rumble

And I dont see them moving the belt to Asuka

Are you saying she should lose because WWE doesnt usually do the right thing? Push the hot hand!

Charlotte is competing against Ronda at the Rumble. Thats pretty damn clear.

I think the WM match loses some hype if its JUST a grudge match though with neither Title on the line.

But if instead it becomes, I got cheated out of MY Title, so now Im coming after YOUR Title against Ronda, thats how you turn it up, especially if she has to win the Rumble to do it.

They are. But it is funny you think Cody is going to succeed.

Omega would make more in NJPW than he would in AEW... And hes already made it clear he is leaving NJPW, ergo.....

Hes either the dumbest human on Earth, or going to WWE.

I'm hearing a lot about how Becky is going to lose to set up her winning the Rumble and challenging Ronda at Wrestlemania.

One sheet actually says Asuka will likely win, so Becky and Charlotte can fight for who gets to go against Ronda in the Rumble match itself.

All stupid. Becky should be winning because she's the hot hand, as you said. Which means that's exactly why she'll lose. They want Ronda or Charlotte to get the reactions Becky is getting, and don't understand the concept of running with who's hot.

You understand you can lose a 3 way ladder match and not lose ANY heat right?

She doesnt have to tap, she doesnt have to be pinned, she doesnt even have to be thrown out of a ring for someone else to pin someone else...

Normally, yeah, Id agree, even in a normal triple threat, she shouldnt lose cause that would hurt her. A ladder match will not.

He got Heath Slater his job back. Rhyno did enough to get a nod from us.

Record low Raw rating. Maybe the Man can help Smackdown beat it this week

I enjoyed that tweet Dawson retweeted where Michael Cole thought Lucha House Party Rules were totally fair and just and then later on in the night tried telling people how horrible it is that AOP w/ Maverick vs. Roode & Gable was a horrible travesty of justice.
---

The MAN is here.

Seth Rollins needs to stop trying to steal her gimmick.

Fucking hanger on. Steals Romans Gimmick. Steals Triple Hs Gimmick. Steals Deans Gimmick. Now Becky.

Get a real personality Seth!
---

The irony being that Seth Rollins called himself the Man while being a slimy, cheating heel.
---

Record lows for Raw is hilarious. Its almost like people dont want to tune in for a champion that never shows up and a bunch of garbage.

Interested to see if the ratings go up a bit when Braun gets back, ormifnthey stay on this downward trend. Rousey doesnt seem to be bringing in the viewers. Maybe Roman really was ratings.

Awesome. I was thinking Corbin's go away heat may have caused some actual lasting damage to the rating and it seems I was correct

Wow.

No third hour drop off. So basically they put out a show that was so bad that it scared away the impatient "just checking in if the show is interesting" crowd

just saw that Ad Counsel commercial with Roman where he is doing Im a little tea pot

they list him as WWF superstar

If it was Raw is Corbin for a month I bet we could fall to 1.2

If the ratings tick up just a little for Smackdown, FOX will have been extremely smart in their purchase.
---

For some reason Daniel Bryan ranting about people being fickle feels like the kind of weird gimmick Chris Jericho would decide to try and make work

This is by far my favorite work of Bryan's in his WWE career. By far. First legit good Miz TV in forever.

Nothing happening on SD now is at all reflective of next October

They wont even bother STARTING to prep SD for Fox until the Superstar Shakeup after WM

It was a joke.

The real joke will be when Baron Corbin moves to Smackdown just before the jump

I adore Bryan's delivery of "THE CLIMATE"

So brilliantly over the top
