[The Q]

I realize the rules were always that he had a year to cash in. But the way they no longer require belts to be defended every 30 days, you might think they thinik we forgot about it. I was actually thinking they were going to use this to finally disband judgement day. They say rhea is going face so she will turn on Priest, but they have another money in the bank and Fin or Dominic win, it could add an angle to one cash in then the other.

If Seth keeps the title injured, (why not? Roman goes 6 months between matches) he can go after Reigns or whoever wins this 4 way deal, or maybe take the US belt from logan who never defended it either.

To me it seems they will run the angle of Seth relinquishing the title so he can say he was never beat or lost it, or make Priest the mega heel and run the knee situation into the ground with a relentless attack.

Imo Priest needs to turn on Finn and take over JD


Ripley is fine cause she’s a fun tweener

The question is what do they do with JDM at that point

but Finn is not competition to run judgement day, its Rhea.

Rhea is hot, just like Cody is hot, which means they dont even need a title to be at the top of their game. Does anyone really care what happens to JD? The bigger question is what happens to Dominik, playing this top heel to a T. He picks a side and can end up a valet ot Rhea.

Eh you take Finn and they fall in line

Or they totally disband


Either way it’s on priest

Also let’s him and Finn do a program

Finn is the rare sub 225 guy worth a shot at a big belt

Rhea can go do whatever cause she’s the best right now.

But they’ll try to ruin it putting her with a garbage talent like Becky at mania

 

[The Q]

You could also have someone win the rumble and get the belt….



….and then have priest cash in lol

I did not see that coming

Super smart move by Netflix. Netflix just went massively global while most domestic streaming services are failing (outside of Amazon). Plus their options are smart, can get out after 5 like Fox did but can get an extra 10 if the move is worth it domestically.

I kinda saw it coming. I was expecting Prime though. Pretty great deal all around for both Netflix and WWE

Well yea

Netflix explicitly said they were not doing live sports


This is….pretty darn close

You believed that? They've been in rumors for the NFL, NASCAR and NBA for like the last year. They were definitely looking into live sports despite whatever they said

I’m surprised they did raw rather than the wwe network if they we’re gonna do something

Remember a few months back about the investigation where Vince was paying off women to not talk about sexual assault? One of them has filed suit. The details are a BIG YIKES.

Vince McMahon accused of sexual abuse, trafficking by former WWE employee

McMahon and former WWE head of talent relations John Laurinaitis are alleged to have sexually assaulted the plaintiff

It's obviously beyond disturbing.
For context Vince himself has stated he was a victim of sexual and physical abuse as a child which is in no way intended as justification for what happened here but it's usually a major factor in behavior this sick.

 

[ill]

none of this is surprising

 

[wildturkey]

none of this is surprising

I mean...the actual details are pretty surprising. That's some fucked up shit. I wouldn't be surprised if you told me Vince McMahon sexually assaulted someone. I would definitely be surprised if you told me Vince McMahon shit on a woman's head in a 3-way and told her to keep going while he cleaned himself up

To get where Vince got and how quickly he did....
