Laziest shirt maybe ever lol looks like an and 1 shirt I wore a lot as a kid

 

The shirt doesnt fit roman well either. He doesnt look nearly as buff with it on

 

Looks like Rollins or Mundo

 

There was a big discussion about it on Reddit. The silhouette is clearly AJ.

Also the color being blue along with AJs merch being red shows the clusterfuck that we're the rumors of them swapping brands

 

Reading about the Ball family segment controversy on Raw lol glad it backfired. Fuck them.

 

I just can't imagine raising a child and failing so badly at teaching manners/respect that they get on live TV and drop the N word a couple of times. Kid is probably the biggest shithead.

 

Yup. Then suggests forming a tag team since they share a last name. Then is just generally hilarious the entire match.

 

I'm really wishing there were an interpromotional title. Something people from any of the brands could vie for. I think it'd be great for the US Title, since they are doing the challenges any ways. It'd be such a cool way to mix up some of the match ups we see on weekly tv.

 

Did we ever figure out who won the APWP title? I need it off of that yellow dog @LuigiPeppercorn. @M.Lee?

 

New champ won't be crowned until GBOF

You have to deal with me for at least another 2 weeks, but really...I'm not dropping the title sooooo

 

For some reason I just went through all of James Ellsworth's instagram page. He should really go back and delete some of those old posts.

 

Watching Ziggler on @Midnight.....dude isn't that funny

 

Why? Are there a bunch with him attending a meet and greet with Godsmack?

 

The G1 match schedule looks fantastic.

 

He has a photo of Ray Rice with the caption "I love Ray Rice". Granted I think this was before the scandal but he definitely has photos of him wearing a Ray Rice jersey after it happened

Edit: His #wcw posts are kinda funny/pathetic

 

Based on those G1 dates, a Kota Ibushi vs Kenny Omega match in the final is 100% on the table.

 

Some interesting thing pointed out on Reddit: all three shows (assuming MITB or Naomi/Lana main event tonight and ignoring 205 Live) this week have a women's main event and WWE isn't advertising it

 

How should they advertise it? I'd say that's progress in women's wrestling if anything.

 

Its weird, but it is partly the way it should be. If there is advertising at all, like Brock was for Raw, the main event should 100% be advertised. The issue is, they only ever advertise what happens at the beginning of each hour for Raw. It's rare in 2017 that anyone gives a shit about the main event. Vince has given up on that third hour.

Have they confirmed the main event for Smackdown? I would imagine it was the ladder match.

Nikki vs Asuka IS advertised heavily for NXT, but they only really ever advertise the main event.

 

i mean ive been seeing a ton of commercials for the womens mitb rematch spot

 

Its not. YES, women are superstars. Women's wrestling is just wrestling. Women are equals. All that stuff. If you ARE advertising main events, make sure people know that the women are headlining Hell in a Cell.

 

Yeah, advertise main events for PPVs. We are talking about weekly shows. You can advertise main events even for weekly shows but saying, HEY LOOK WE GOT GIRLS WRASSLIN IN THE MAIN EVENT FOR ALLLLLL THREE OF OUR SHOWS THIS WEEK COME CHECK IT OUT, sounds pretty damn tasteless.

 

A few things need to happen in order for the women to work.

1. Stop burying people that are over.
2. Build up strong characters and quit making them eat pins.
3. Launch Dana into space.
4. Quit making it sound like Steph is the reason this exists.
5. Put someone over strong and let it take its course.

Right now, the women's division isn't much better off than 205 Live. They are trying to make you care about a product they don't care about. It's so unusual to me how fast both products slipped. They have immense talent, but no idea how to use it. #WWE

 

I think interest in the Raw women's division would be 100000X stronger if they just had Asuka murder everyone.

 

Real excited for that Asuka/Nikki Cross main event on NXT. Cross is my favorite in the division behind Asuka.
