Not to mention by the time he became "Stone Cold", he was pretty beat up physically and could barely move.



Becky is one of the larger women on the roster. She's also pretty damn cut. The Mania pop was loud, maybe not the loudest, but loud. But it was also after midnight and people had already started leaving to make sure they could get to public transit so they wouldn't be stranded. Becky Lynch is currently moving the most merch over the last few months over any superstar and her segments are leaders in the ratings breakdowns. Becky Lynch is OVER. Deal with it.

Also, who the fuck reads Forbes for wrestling news?

Well even pre broken neck Austin I don’t think could’ve taken 1/2 the locker room. Not saying he was some pushover but just taking the tag team division for example was full of dudes you wouldn’t want to mess with at a bar.

With Becky I really don’t think she is playing the Austin’s role, it became organic with her being heel and the crowd chanting for her as she was the least used horsewomen and there was no way Charlotte was ever going to get over as a face. If she is copying any role it would be CM Punk or DB’s character IMO.

Let’s see, he got 2/3 predictions wrong and yet still hasn’t addressed it. Yep sounds like he was “in the know” alright.

Yet the one I got right, is the same match where I cited "those in the know". claiming Becky was definitely winning the main event at WM to send the fans home happy. Funny, I don't recall seeing you, or my #1 fan, mention that.

Also, I never claimed to be "in the know". So you can fuck right off with that narrative.

But you did claim to know what the consensus is among people in the know, which turned out to be false. Your horrible call that it was pretty much a certainty that DB was going to beat Kofi earns you the nickname 'Nostradumbass.'

Andrade and Zelina Vega Are Moving Back to SmackDown Live

The great worker/heel moving to SD makes me wonder if this is related to DBs injury status

Alleister Black's not gonna be happy about that. But Charlotte will be overjoyed.

From PWInsider

As noted earlier today on PWInsider.com, Aleister Black, Andrade and Zelina Vega were moved from Raw to Smackdown today. PWInsider.com has been told that the move to bring Andrade and Vega back to Smackdown was made, in part, at the request of FOX as the brand lacked any major Latino stars following the Superstar Shakeup last week and that once the series moves to FOX this October, there are plans to spotlight WWE's Latino stars on their Spanish language station, Fox Deportes.

Black was moved, at least in part, due to the fact he is married to Zelina Vega, as WWE has made an effort to keep married couples on the same brand, but we are also told there were some idea pitched for him for the blue brand.

There is no word when talents were informed of the move.

Well....I stand corrected on Alleister Black. I thought they were keeping him on Raw.

 

[futballiscool]

I find it suprising Fox/USA weren't consulted about this type of thing before the shakeup but if this leads to a bigger role for Andrade/Vega I'm for it

 

[The Q]

I give WWE credit fro the Kofi and Rollins wins. Both could fall under somewhat unexpected.

they get zero credit for having the weakest link win the main event.

Charlotte didn't win the main event, bro.

You mean the best female talent on the roster and who carries the match?

Sasha Botch wasn't in the main event....

KO heel turn? No way!!!

 

[RobToxin]

Charlotte vs Becky is the new Randy Orton vs John Cena.

 

[Mistaken4193]

They are overdoing the fuck out of Becky vs Charlotte. Thankfully Im thinking Becky is gonna drop the SDLive belt at MITB(hopefully to a cashing in Bayley) and becomes Raw exclusive.

I wish they would have kept the KO thing up, have him Win MITB, and later that night after Kofi wins a title defense come out to celebrate and then turn.

Also glad they are treating Elias as a MainEventer on SD. Love him on the mic and hopefully a feud with Roman will bring out some good ring work.

KO heel turn? No way!!!

Everyone knew it was coming but I kinda wished it lasted a little longer. While its usually brief, Owens' face runs, going back to this Indy days, are pretty good. He can be funny and witty. When he's got someone with play off of, everything clicks into place.

Yea, they could've certainly kept this going until Big E comes back in a month or so, and create a scenario where Big E tells Kofi/Xavier to be wary of KO, but they continue to trust KO until he turns on then.

Turning after just a week is way too soon, imo...

According to Meltzer the WWE is refusing Harper his release and adding time on to his contract for injury
