[The Q]

Did WWE just play the racist Tennessee cops card?

 

[The Q]

Absolutely love the direction of Rollins right now.

I laughed way too hard at this:

I laughed way too hard at this:

Nah. He got arrested for being black man dating a white woman in Tennessee

 

[The Q]

So awful how they continue to protect a trash “athlete” like Becky

 

[The Q]

I don’t know what the purpose of that segment was, but the street profits are funny dudes

Robert Roode and Primo suspended due to wellness violation.

Robert Roode and Primo suspended due to wellness violation.

Primo is still with the company? Good way to find that out.

Bobby Roode was losing steam anyway. That whole thing with Ziggler, Corbin and him and feuding with Roman Reigns was just thrown together out of nowhere. Sucks but he won't be missed too much, to be honest.

 

[RobToxin]

Roode peaked in his heel run as TNA Champion.

His WWE run has not been glorious by any means.

I feel like he could've had a great run in WWE, but there was a period of time where they brought in like every top TNA guy they could find and wanted to give them the NXT title at the same time. Samoa Joe, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Roode, just to name a few. Not to mention Shinsuke Nakamura, Kevin Owens and then Adam Cole. Seems like there was never a strong champion like there has been lately with Ciampa and Adam Cole.

I don't think Roode ever gets a single's title opportunity from here on out, unfortunately. I wouldn't mind seeing him with the IC title because right now it's just left on the back burner like it was before The Miz held onto it. Unpopular opinion here but The Miz is amongst the greatest IC champs of all time, in my opinion. Shinsuke with the title just doesn't feel important in the slightest.

Absolutely!

Miz was such a good heel. Could still draw wrestling heat in today's smark IWC world. He made people care about the IC title because he made people want to see him lose.

He was the best heel they had in quite some time.

Seth Rollins was an excellent heel in The Authority days even though I personally thought the Authority angle itself had been done to death.

Couldn't agree more. I hope the whole "GM who runs the show screws the babyface character out of every opportunity until they have a match at a big PPV where the GM loses and gets fired" type of storyline is over with forever. I'm over all of that.

I saw a post on this before regarding Rollins. They almost referred to the shield as being faces. They surrounded the ring and beat up anyone and everyone until they got too popular to not take credit for.

How could anyone think that Rollins did not start out as a heel in the shield?

Is it me or did Dionna Purrazzo look like she hit the holiday baking table too much?

 

[The Q]

Rollins was born to play this role.

AOP are exactly where they need to be.

A few too many squash matches, but I see where they’re going except for Rowan.

and who doesn’t like the street profits?

 

[RobToxin]

I like the fresh take on the villain who thinks he's the good guy they are doing with Rollins.

Kind of the abusive father figure who is only doing this for your own good. This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you kind of character.

Exactly.

It's great.

It's perfect. It was set up so well with the loss to the jv squad at SS.

This is the one good thing that came out of such terrible booking.

New US champ

Andrade beat Mysterio at the Madison Square Garden house show tonight

Don’t know why they didn’t just do this on raw and have Rollins get his revenge during or after this match instead of looking weak in a title match against mysterio.
