All this for a possibly above-average match on an empty studio PPV.

Could you honestly imagine how pissed people would be if a babyface started something as obnoxious as the "What?" chants now?

Also this is the first time I have heard about Daniel Bryan having autoimmune problems. WWE needs to just place both Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns into one of those nuclear bunkers until this is all over with.

Blame Christian. If he had just answered his damn phone we would have never had to deal with What chants

He's made it known as the biggest reason he went vegan

Has Jinny done much in NXT UK so far?

Randomly remembered her and was wondering how she's been doing lately.

hey Owl. I like your gumption. But I made an even better New Years Show jiff. You might wanna use it in the future.

Not that I've really seen much of anything but I get the impression she's trapped in the limbo of women's midcard, aka taking losses to those fighting over the title but not getting squashed
Last I took note, Jazzy was her muscle but then she left the company a few months back.

I wonder if WWE will use Coronavirus as an excuse to cut underperforming products or services without spooking stockholders.

"Sorry guys, we had to shutter NXT UK due to the virus but don't worry we already killed BritWres."

I mean, it IS a reason, not really an excuse so much. Unprecedented shit

I guess I wasn't clear. They clearly had some stuff that was underperforming before and should have been killed before but either someone's vanity or cautiousness about spooking Wall Street in light of some of their other failures from doing so. NXT UK and 205 Live spring to mind. Now, they can kill those products and Wall Street will likely accept it and if it was somebody internally pushing back on the closure now way will they have enough swagger to prevent it now.

Slightconfuse's post about Manami Toyoto brought this game to mind:


For a refresher, US Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln were selected for the monument because they preserved the nation and expanded its territories.

So, who is on the wrestling Mount Rushmore? Does Vince McMahon automatically make it?

Supercop Dick Justice, Freshly Squeezed Orange Cassidy, Shockwave the robot and Joey Janela.

I don't think there was anyway they could tell that story and have it be moonlight and canoes which is weird because they managed to tell the Von Erich family story and have it feel ultimately hopeful.
It did kinda have a hopeful part near the end where they revealed Jericho helped David and Sandra reconnect

Speaking of Orange Cassidy.

Watched more of the dark side of wrestling docs. The bruiser Brody & Von Erich's were very good though I didn't care for the Moolah one. Thought the Wendy Richter segment didn't seem important enough for the time they have to it. Also Cornette be apart of it was strange considering his opinion on women's wrestling.
I didn't care for the Von Erich one because of how much it glossed over or ignored (like how much of a bastard Fritz was) and tried to make Kevin look like the good brother when he had just as many issues and some of his own shittiness, he just got lucky it didn't kill him.
