Between this and the Zoo video WWE finally realizing Kevin the actual person is funnier, more endearing, and entertaining than his on-screen persona

Him stopping the video at the very beginning because he saw a cool looking bird is the most Kevin Steen shit imaginable lol

 

After seeing the doc I think Bo is gonna be super motivated and I’m pulling for him

 

This is why I said low-card; as in, if it flops bad after a few weeks, it goes away. Think Rowans spider cage or basically everything Dexter Lumis has ever been in. Nikki's the only one thats gotten something over this decade, and that wasnt exactly great.

They've been teasing this thing long enough that hopefully its got a solid 3 month or so plan at least

 

Yeah after watching the doc, it’s clear Bo wants to pick up the mantle and I hope more than anything it succeeds for him.

 

Wow the spider cage. Completely forgot about that

 

C’mon, Bo-liever stable of Bo trying to instill confidence in a bunch of misfits.

 

big agree.

this will come off more generalized than intended… but since his passing, it feels like a lot of people refer to Bray as someone who had a bulletproof run - he certainly swung for the fences and tried to carve out something new at a time where the product was in need of fresh ideas! but confusing/overbooked/underdelivered certainly sums up a decent amount of the “misses” for me.

continuing without the charisma of Bray (the one thing that made it all WORK, even at its lowest points) is a very challenging situation, to say the least.

the big what-if for me is how a character like Bray might have gone if it began in the post-Vince era, free of his meddling and rewrites?

 

Lawler is no longer under contract with WWE


Tony is gonna put him with JR one last time and I hope he doesn’t

 

Oh god please no unless it’s a swan song for JR as well. Neither has any business calling a major wrestling promotion in the year 2024. JR has greatly tarnished his reputation by going on way past his prime. It sucks because there’s plenty of commentators in sports that can do great into their 80’s (Bob Uecker, Hubie Brown, Dick Vitale) but it just doesn’t work in wrestling and JR has obviously declined cognitively the last 5-6 years.

 

JR can be really great when they use him sparingly but I cannot see the same thing with Lawler get him away from me

 

We were so close

 

This is gonna be great

 

don't

 

i like Ricky but while he shines in pretapes his live promos and matches are way too inconsistent for the unstoppable star some view him as idk

 

finished Backlash and every other comment about AJ is "prayers & vitamins" and "tren hard" and i swear no one projects their physical shame quite like the wild wrestling fan

 

Poor Asuka is gonna lose in the first round

 

That card is absolutely stacked

 

Monday Night Raw: WWE Speed edition

Not only they are fitting 8 matches, they are also giving us some potential bangers like Ilja VS Ricochet, Gunther VS Sheamus and Kofi VS Rey

 

It has the potential to be one of the better Raw’s in sometime

 

This is where I’m at. He’s not some bonafide main eventer. And that’s okay!
