Man, with Hogan coming back and WWE still going to KSA, things can't possibly get worse, right...? I guess it can since there is yet another new Bubsy game coming out. Who keeps bankrolling those things?
Yeah, the Shayna/Kairi rivalry will continue for awhile it seems. It looks like WWE realizes they have a feud that can carry them for awhile.
I do feel like the final match between Shayna/Kairi should have a stipulation. Maybe an "I Quit" match or something.
No fun allowed . Jpg
Well, it is for real
What year was that gif taken? 1987? Christ, that quality
Has she ever do that move and then splash a second opponent after the rebound?
It's the first time she's done a swan dive after her foot stomp so there's a chance it will happen in the future.
List of faces WWE's managed to fuck up in the past...four years:
- Seth Rollins (they fixed this, but dude should've been a face the second he came back)
- Sami Zayn
- Finn Balor
- Becky Lynch
- Bayley
- Johnny Gargano
It's not a long list--only five of them since they fixed Seth--but the problem is they were all can't miss stars who should've been top of the card babyfaces. Instead, they've had to either turn them heel or let them rot in the midcard. If they'd stop with this obsession of making their best people look like geeks, as Bryan Alvarez would say, this wouldn't be an issue. But Finn Balor beat Bobby Lashley last week, then got fucking destroyed this week because of 50-50 booking. Then Vince talks about "Well he can't face Brock Lesnar, he's not over." Well...no shit. No matter how likable faces are, they need to be able to win matches.
So now Becky Lynch is a heel, and indeed is easily the best thing on the main roster by far. Annoying, but I'm happy she's getting the push she deserves.
How is Gargano fucked up already? Flipping him heel out of frustration for losing is kind of logical, as it with Becky. The failure with Becky was they could have made her a legit baby face chasing the belt, up & down.
For Becky it was logical, for Gargano they'd already decided the character had managed to overcome his issues and was going to be "Johnny Freaking Wrestling". But they spent so much time trying to figure out who hit Aleister Black. And the only answer that made sense was Gargano, so oops, time to make him heel! But the episode where he beat Tony Nese made him look pretty face, only to undo that in a month's time.
Nah, Gargano makes sense. He's got so caught up with hating Ciampa that he let it consume him to the point where he lost a match for the belt that he had pretty much won and started directing that hatred at people other then Ciampa like EC3 and Black. The Nese thing was a fake out to make you think he was doing the "I'm just going to be Johnny Freaking Wrestling" thing for like the ninth time
Also, for those looking for more wrestling to see in Wednesday AAA will stream this show via FB:

He was already being consumed by it all prior to that reveal though
This is actually getting away from my point, which is: the dude was super over as a face and worked, but they turned him heel anyway 'cause WWE doesn't really know what to do with faces.

strong merch game, jesus
I really haven't seen any of El P but this is a very good shirt
Flammable D BritishMonsoon and anyone else really
Since El P has blown up in popularity I feel the need to brag yet again that I saw him and Kyle O'Reilly go for 30 min or so last year... in what was the best match I'd ever seen live until like my mind was blown by the G1 Special at the Cow Palace
Yes, I'm sure that the brand that built Sami Zayn and Bayley has no idea how to book babyfaces
The first two matches could be pretty great. But after that... yikes.
They still managed to fuck Gargano up. It's not like NXT was in dire need of great heels tbh.
I mean sure whatever, I disagree on Gargano but I get that take. But saying NXT can't book babyfaces by pointing at Gargano is laughable given their history.
LU should be good with Ultima Lucha Cuatro starting today. The first event should be great:
