AJ trash talking Drew while being carried away by Omos was hilarious

I hate when they drop wrestlers first names like they did with Riddle.

its simply to own the IP. They can’t own Matt riddle. But they can own Riddle.

then why drop "Mustafa" from Mustafa Ali only to bring it back?

it was humorous but not overly helpful to telling the story

im not sure. Maybe they own the whole name? Idk his legal name

when I saw they were just calling him "Riddle" I couldn't remember his first name...kept thinking Tom, but that's Harry Potter.

maybe they just looked at it and decided it wasn't doing anything for his "brand" to have Matt on there.

Becky and Seth welcomed their daughter, Roux, to the world

damn it. I was hoping there was another month to go.

TLC was a very good PPV. Best show they've done in a few months

 

[Judge Fudge]

That was pathetic show tonight....

I actually thought it was better than they're usual fare of late. I could do without the ending, a little too cheesy for my taste, but whatever.

Only thing I really didn't like was giving MITB back to Miz. Either take MITB seriously or don't use it. From the time Otis won it, they haven't had a damn clue what they are doing with it

The ending made it pathetic in my view.

If you advertise something with a big payoff. GIVE US THE FUCKING PAYOFF. DON'T END IT MID SCENE.

I understand why they did, USA is pissed about the ratings and a burning might have them pull the plug, but cmon man.

it gives you a reason to watch next week.

big time open loop to see what happened when raw went off the air.

I agree with you. Otis never should’ve won it.

I love this version of the Miz though. But where does jamming him in now fit in?

Imo both mitb and kotr should be precursors to launching into top of the card status. They are not doing that with either now

Problem with KOTR is they’ve tried that with Corbin and the fans shit on it. MITB is hard just storyline wise unless a heel like the Miz wins it all the time. I mean how can you be a good guy and cash in? They tried it with Braun and it sucked.

Miz is flexible flexible though. He could weasel in and cash in on anyone, really. He could have done it at the end of TLC with Reigns and KO and it would have worked (not sure if he had the briefcase or not).

It feels like they just forgot it existed for the last year.

Do you think Corbin gives up his crown if he loses KOTR or does he go the Trump route?

they didn’t do shit with Corbin.

Corbin is a classic heel. You’re supposed to hate him. That means he’s doing his job.

this world where trash like Adam Cole gets over as a heel just sucks

I think Cole is a good heel.

I hate Corbin because he is just so cheesy and his set of moves kind of suck. Best match I've seen from him was against Gable...otherwise his story lines have been shit.

He shouldn’t get over. You should want to him punched in the face. Otherwise you’re not doing a great job.

and since he’s a sun 200 chicken limbed bitch he should be a cowardly heel like Sami zayn at wm this year.

I love Corbin. He was the perfect choice for KOtR, bringing back the chair with dudes carrying him. It was so well done. Think of Owen hart and Mabel in the 90s winning it.

he’s also underrated in the ring as a good athlete for a dude his size with one of the more protected finishers out there
