Mandy can be brought back after some time apparently. But look at all these rehires WWE (HHH) shouldn't have done....

- Hit Row (fuckin job squad and garbage fat ass rapper)

- Braun Strowman (boring)

- Dexter Lumis (meh)

 

to an extent, Karrion Kross. Had he been booked better instead of stupid 50/50 booking.... 

 

Also fire Mandy for nudes, but make Junkie Riddle go to rehab, Usos have numerous DUIs, etc. but nudes get you canned. Right. Guess the world is going way too soft. Surprised Playboy still exists and hasnt been a target of some stupid group like everything else is.

 

All the praise Triple H gets, but yeah those ones he brought back that you mentioned are all a waste of TV time. I also can't stand seeing Johnny Boring and his wife again.

I'm all for Karrion Kross though if they properly utilise him, but please don't let him have a difficult time trying to destroy Rey Mysterio.

 

I'm sure it won't be much longer before we get the annual Uso DUI that just gets swept under the rug, but how dare Mandy get her tits out. Won't someone think of the children!

The thing is, have a solid roster, and trim the fat. Some jobbers and midcard are needed, i get that. But have some idea of who to build your main event around in the next few years. Roman is leaving (thank god), McIntyre hasn't been that great as a babyface, sorry. Sheamus had a resurgence of sorts but short lived. Then everyone else is old, whether they can go or not its not something to book for long term.

 

After Roman leaves:

I'd invest in Wyatt and his Wyatt 6, Rollins, Steiner (fuck Bron Breakker name), Kross if they can adjust him a bit, Theory (he is good), Gunther, Kevin Owens as your main event between both shows. Divided how you want. If you ever doubt KO as a top star you need to check his Ring of Honor work. Cody also fits here. 

 

Future womens division would be Charlotte, Mandy Rose, Dakota Kai, Raquel, Bea Priestly (Blair Davenport), 

 

Tag will always been random, tho Usos and New Day are fine. Pretty Deadly is well, ew.

 

Midcard could be tons of new faces and also hover main event but I'd be putting tons of stock into Carmelo Hayes. He can run the high midcard and occasionally float into the main events. He is one hell of an extraordinary talent and id love to see him and Rollins go at it.

 

But yeah, WWE has too many stars again. 

I like all wrestling and all have pros and cons but yeah firing Mandy was bullshit. 

 

Luckily many high up in WWE Reject the idea of Vince coming back. I just hope more women speak out so that Vince will have a bad stigma around him and itll be easier to not allow him back into WWE.

Terrible news about Mandy, but at least it seems obvious that they'll bring her back whenever she wants down the line. There is speculation it is because sponsors or whatever, but it might well just be a pre-emptive strike before any possible trouble. Whatever the case, the usual act of the company not sticking up for their worker. 

 

As for Vince. Him booking would be terrible, but him as an on air character or even better a coach for talent would be a positive. As Bryan, the cruiserweights, and others have said. Vince is very good at the little details and he can coach people really well when it comes to character work, he just rarely got to do that work as the boss.

Firing Mandy is one of the dumbest moves this company has made tbh

yep. Worst part is it was HBK who pushed for it. Guess it doesnt fit with his stupid christian values. 

 

But as long as Vince doesn't come back, it should be okay. HBK is a bitch though. Talented yes. But he's a bitch.

From everything that has been said the booker of the year Shawn Michaels had no negative part in this. The news got to him early and correctly guessing what top management would decide he got the title off Mandy so there could be a payoff to her long run (the prodigy beats the veteran long reigning champion) and Roxanne could get a major win. If HBK hadn't done that then Mandy would have just been stripped of the title which is never good. As for Christian values, as someone who has been watching NXT believe me that they never factor in. The change is also clearly Roxanne just winning now instead of a few weeks/months later as she has been pegged to be the one to beat Mandy Rose since she joined the company.

They did not fire Paige when she was seen on video being the biggest slut in the companies history, letting one of her many boyfriends at the time jizz all over the nxt womens belt she was carrying, they kept her around for years on end.

She has a healthy sex life, so what?

Partaking in group sex, filming it and letting her partners jizz all over company property may be your version of a healthy sex life, I doubt most people agree with that though, to most that is already deep into a certain lifestyle. WWE is a company that has gotten rid of that kind of image for the most part, no Ric Flair joking about having orgies anymore, no Godfather coming to the ring with his hoes walking behind him, no more strip matches, no more characters like Trish, Lita or Melina literally whoring themselves out to other wrestlers for favors in angles. A champion being on video partaking in hardcore porn does not exactly fit the image they want to have, and likely does not sit well with sponsors either, yet they did not fire Paige when they easily could have. They fired Mandy Rose for much less though.

She's a young woman sewing up wild oats. We all do it. But yeah, WWE has become more tight assed about these things in the last decade. And even though what Paige did was way more explicit than what Mandy did, she never intended for those videos to come out. Mandy intended to sell those photos of herself. I think that's the difference.

Going to have to wait and see how it'll be post the taped shows but hopefully Toxic Attraction remains even without Mandy. Sonya had a week in charge of them so there is a natural new leader there if one is needed.

 

Very happy that we're finally getting top heel Waller. They planted these Bron vs Grayson seeds all the way back at the start of 2.0 a bit over a year ago when Bron banned him from the locker room. The spot they did this week is very much a unique one considering it was last done like 20+ years back. Guy who knows his opponent loves to spear people gets himself some body armour to hurt the guy spearing him. Considering they likely want to get Bron up as soon as possible... Grayson is a good opponent to lose the title to. I know some people think that an invincible champion should get beaten by an opponent who is also invincible but that ain't healthy.

When not even Ronda Rousey is allowed to have a competetive match with Charlotte, you just know that you have to watch no more womens title matches for Charlottes belt until she faces someone named Sasha, Becky or Bayley, as anyone else will just be fodder anyway, unless Bianca somehow loses her belt due to injury and returns on Smackdown, or they plan on initiating some game of hot potatoe like in the past to artificually boost Charlottes title reign number. Makes no sense for a heel like Rousey to accept that kind of challenge to begin with, but I guess for the female version of super Cena no logic has to apply, gotta somehow get in these 17-20 title reigns after all.

 

There is really not much left that interests me in the current product. Honestly the medium tier belts are the only ones worth seeing at the moment, Walter and Austin Theory have good matches and it is always a chance that they lose against credible opponents, all other belts are not really worth watching at the moment. Big belts perpetually sit on Reigns until The Rock returns or his leukemia comes back, both tag belts perpetually sit on the Usos until Reigns loses his belts, womens tag belts were never worth a damn anyway, and both womens single belts now sit on women who can never be allowed to lose or look like they even have a competetive match.

Judgement Day haven't accomplished anything, no championships, no real rulership status, no big memorable feuds, same goes for the whole confused Wyatt thing, most new wrestlers have been sitting in limbo on the main roster, same goes for others like Omos the company simply has no idea what to do with at the moment. Probably gonna watch less until the Royal Rumble, though with the Rumbles track record in recent years I'd be going in expecting something really dumb to happen.

The Rock wont beat Roman. Did read that if Rock isnt confirmed by rumble for Mania, that the plan somehow will involve Roman dropping a title to Seth who defends and loses at Mania to Cody. I prefer it be Cody win rumble. Beat Seth at Feb PLE. Beat Roman for WWE title. Not Universal. Have Roman defend both nights. Night 1 vs Rock, Uni title. wins. Night 2 for Cody wwe title. Lose. Remember, Austin was night 1. That being said, give Cody a medium length run, lose the title to Seth at say, summerslam? or Great American Bash if it becomes a main roster event.

 

As for Wyatt, i am enjoying it. He will beat Knight and Howdy will have some play in it. It's going to be Howdy who converts Bray to finally snap and then Howdy will be happy. LA Knight isnt bad on promo, but in the ring he sucks. Being a world champ in TNA/Impact at the stage he was doesnt mean shit lol

Man, I should have listened to myself and not bothered watching Raw, most of it was not worth it.

 

So the Bloodline is throwing a little temper tantrum because they lost on Smackdown. Their big plan? To do the same thing they did last week on Raw, which did not work this time, because not even the modern roster is so beaten down that they let that shit fly perpetually. Not the Bloodlines proudest moment, but at least they show some ambition, unlike certain other groups.

 

Bianca vs Alexa. A bit of a laugh at the commentators just working off their check list even if it makes no sense, praising the power of Bianca is nonsense if she picks up tiny Lexi who likely does not reach 50kg after second breakfast even when soaking wet. I don't think anyone expected Alexa to win, at this point Bianca probably only loses the belt to injury, some fatal four way kind of match, or against the only woman who is more overpushed than her, Charlotte, in some kind of title unificatiom match given that even the likes of Becky and Bayley haven't even gotten close to get that belt off of her. I only watched it because, when they did the whole Alexa turn, it was obvious that it would either mean a return to her little pittbull goddess character who had good rivalries and matches with most, or the shitty Wyatt infested character who had nothing but atrociously bad rivalries and "matches" with everyone. I wanted to know which one it is, and I am disappointed they went with the latter, biggest eye roll in a while, what a waste of a good competitor, seems like it is time to forget about her again until the next inevitable Wyatt failure and release I guess.

 

Another pretty obvious match result, Elias was never going to beat anyone from the Bloodline, but at least they made it pretty entertaining. Also none of the locker room grunts who sounded so eager before were anywhere to be found during both Bloodline matches. We get the usual heel and face imbalance, the heels causing potentially career threatening injuries to faces in the story and the faces not even doing something that requires a bandaged arm or shoulder for a week or two in retaliation, nothing new here, I just miss the time when faces were not always above responding in kind, someone like Sheamus should definitely try to cause some injuries after what he experienced.

 

I just don't get Dexter Lumis, and I accept that I don't get him, its kinda the same with Kross when they bother to use him, maybe I would have needed to watch their stuff from other shows to get their appeal. I just hope they do something worthwhile with Gable and Otis soon, or split them up, because they have been nothing but comedy relief for a long time, which is a shame.

 

Speaking about not getting it, I don't get how they are planning on building up Dominik by continuing to present him as a whiny little bitch who fails at getting much of a reaction even from his old and physically broken down father. His group ain't doing much for it either, Rhea holds his hand as he fails and the others haven't done anything this week, nor has the group accomplished anything at all really aside from surviving old Edges wrath. Balor feels like he was demoted, Priest is still kinda the same, Rhea and Dominik actually LOST credibility given that Rhea barely had any matches since joining the group and Dominik switched from standing in the shadow of a legend to standing in the shadow of a woman with clown levels of makeup roughly his own age.

 

I said in my last reply that the secondary title belts are the best things going on at both shows, and matches like Theory vs Rollins are exactly why. Given that they made Austin Theory look like the biggest fool of 2022 and completely buried him in the process, it is nice to see that they are putting in a lot of effort to undo the damage they have done to him for no other reason than to save Reigns another work day. Probably still gonna be a while before his humiliating cash in failure on a secondary belt will not pop up in my mind every time I see him, but they are on the right path with him by giving him good matches like this with credible opponents. I feared both Dominik Mysterio and Austin Theory would just fall down ever further this year, but at least it seems like things are improving for Austin Theory.

Well these things are never all that reliable, they could start the whole Rock vs Reigns late for all we know. I just don't see Reigns losing the belt to Rollins, or anyone currently on the active roster really, and the guy is likely not motivated enough to work double duty. Rhodes may have had a solid shot, but that was before the rather severe injury, the company is known to lose trust in wrestlers that get the reputation of being injury prone.

 

This Wyatt stuff seems dumber and more nonsensical than ever before, with costumes getting more ridiculous by the bloody month, and not in a good way. I can hardly sit through the occasional segment without wanting to eat my own face. Quite how people manage to enjoy that horseshit is beyond me to be honest, as it is several steps down from even the ever repetetive Wyatt blabbering I used to enjoy somewhat several years back, and I shudder to think what the matches will look like if they ever get to that, but to each his own I guess. Good thing is, it is rotting away in the toilet break card somewhere as of now, nowhere near any titles, involving only lost causes anyway (aside from Alexa given that they involved her in this crap again), and I don't have to watch it after all, thankfully.

I enjoy Wyatt as a character. I do think this has somewhat gone on a bit too long though, but also annoyed its a blackout match or something at rumble? Also LA Knight I'm sorry, he is not a star. Dude is an enchanced jobber. Being a champ in impact doesnt mean shit lol

 

Also despite these raw promo vids for Cody, apparently he wont even be in the rumble... so wtf. They def need to split the belts now. Otherwise what, Seth vs Cody AGAIN at Mania? is Seth even a heel right now? its confusing. 

 

I've pretty much read results and just catch PLEs. Sometimes i like it. Other times i dont. Definitely agree with Lumis, even Hit Row. Why rehire those 4? they suck. Kross wasnt bad but he's already been sorta forgotten about. I would have liked to see him vs Roman. Would be fresh. But now hes feuding with Rey? ugh. Also speaking of Rey, Dominick. Wow. Hard time? that entire promo jail thing has been cringe... everything about Dom Mysterio is just bad. lol.

 

But yeah, I'll stick to highlights and then full PLEs. I am watching WK17 right now though. So far so good. But NJPW is very different than other companies.

 

I am also tired of Bloodline.

Roman vs Owens at Rumble. Owens loses again (he deserves a run at the top with the title).

Roman vs Zayn in Montreal at Elimination Chamber.... which speaking of...

 

whats the Elimination Chamber match for? What would make sense IF they do Rock at Mania....

Rock wins Rumble. Gets Roman night 1 (Austin got night 1 so)

Winner of EC gets title shot on night 2 

 

But like you said, Roman pulling double duty, i don't know. Though i do expect him to finally drop the belts at Mania, its just yeah they don't have much time and I can't see Rock holding a belt. WWE is in a very weird phase now.

I enjoyed his character during the Eater Of Worlds days, though honestly he was soon facing the same problems with that character and the Fiend/Funhouse clown he is facing now, dragging on for far too long without getting anything done, way too much nonsensical blabbering, and declining match quality, only that it happened MUCH earlier this third time around and the matches went from meh, to terrible, to non existent as of now. People seem to try and present LA Knight as some sort of upcoming megastar, just like you I don't see it either, he can talk pretty well but that seems about it, and even if he is good in the ring I highly doubt he will get a chance to show it against Wyatt when even Orton and Rollins couldn't get a good match out of him when he had considerably less ring rust.

 

I agree that just reading the results or watching best ofs if likely the way to go in future if this keeps up, at least for most of the show, the US and IC titles have been delivering some really good matches recently at least.

They would need to shake it up, give the Bloodline some real competition and do some actual damage. I assumed that this was what they prepared Judgement Day for, but that ship has sailed, other alliances seem pretty loose at best and never get anything done, no taking out of Bloodline members, no taking any of the belts off of them, no scaring or intimidating the Bloodline (aside from maybe Brock), same interferences that get tolerated all the time, it is just not enough variety for that long of a story.

I honestly have no clue how they will handle the Elimination Chamber, I doubt it will be done in a satisfying way, and the Royal Rumbles track record is questionable at best in recent years, I don't dare to make any predictions after what they have done to Mr. Money in The Bank for the sake of dragging this whole thing on. Roman Reigns going on double duty at any point would definitely be among the most surprising turn of events for me.

What a surprise, looks like Vince is attempting to get back into power through the guise of guiding the company into a sale. WWE is his life, he was never going to stay away. 

 

Looks like he's using media rights upcoming renegotiation as a bargaining chip to get himself back in charge by not approving any new media deals or potential sales unless reinstated, hoping that this forces the board to approve his return to power which is incredibly unethical. Clearly a major source of income for the company is through the TV deals, so delaying any renegotiation will potentially lose significant revenue or force interested TV networks to pull out altogether. 

 

On another note, Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay put on a absolute banger at WK 17. Bet Sasha is delighted at leaving too after this news.

It's more illegal than unethical as I believe there are laws in place that protect the minority shareholders getting screwed. The board has already written to McMahon saying that his return would be not in the best interest of the company. I don't see him making this return.

He's already been reinstated on the board with his old cronies Barrios and Wilson. Deeply concerning for WWE employees and in-ring talent with this news. 

 

As it stands I'd assume he has no creative control currently, but this is Vince. He'll weasel his way back in somehow......
