Was that after smackdown went off the air or something? Because I only saw the terrible one where he talked about what Andre would have been like on the dancefloor.

That's the one. Halfway-decent because despite the first half being frat-boy nonsense, it was delivered better than awkward high-school drama class readings we get from a bunch of other wrestlers.

Then the second half changed the tone, made Mojo serious for a few seconds and it worked. It gave him that tiny bit more depth than "ALWAYS HYPE" and could, could move towards a rehabilitation of his character.

Fave Five for Double You Double You E

1. Asuka
2. AJ
3. Charlotte
4. Joey Samoey
5. Neville

Bonus: Miz/Maryse for pure entertainment value, and Almas/Aleister Black (Almas is figuring his shit out as a heel and is consistently one of the better parts of Takeovers, and despite just debuting I'm really stoked on Black's entrance and gimmick)

It made me hate him even more. I didn't think the delivery was good - it was like a person who's been laughing at a wake, suddenly reminded that somebody's dead. Absolutely serious, saying he missed this man who he obviously never met - and if he's ever watched an Andre match beyond the Hogan Slam I'm a monkey's uncle.

He's definitely not main event talent, whatever they do with him. Corbin is. I see that. Mojo is mid card at best, and they only have him the win at Mania because of the publicity earned by the Gronk spot. Madness.

I would say they should just make Ziggler a full blown racist dude that gets slapped about each week. But knowing WWE he would be champ in a month.

5. Emma (that debut > anything from Wrestlemania).

Emma rules but she needs to be on TV and actually doing things to make the cut

GOAT theme and the sunglasses/road warrior gimmick is tight. Just feed her something besides "it's about me!!!!!!!!" Which idk is supposed to be like Paige's "this is myyyy houuuuse!!!" but it's dumb when spammed like an Overwatch voiceline

She makes it because I've been begging for her return since day 1 of the Emmalina promos and she's finally here.

I did my waiting!

This current version of Neville is so god damn good. Really great promo on the latest 205 Live.

I think Neville might be my favorite WWE talent at the moment.

He is absolutely amazing and nails his own character better than almost everyone on the roster. If he was still playing a baby face he would have never gotten any further than he was pre injury.
