Creating a mythology
Most mythologies are pretty dark and filled with flawed heroes, tbh.
Creating a mythology
Shit, I felt bad for the both of them there. In this spot and the Hell's Gate spot.

who's fucking idea was it for king to commentate during a match involving two women

Thinking about it the day after, it's probably the Bray shit, even though the loss was the most predictable thing for me.
There were like, 10 different ways that was dumb as fuck
Wrestling is even faker than mythologies though.
Having a match that's hard to watch because it's objectively poor is not good not matter which way you cut it.

Is Batsie a WWE writer
Then sign a lot the NJPW talent..
Blaming him for those TERRIBLE lifting powerbombs while the announcers yelled "LOOK AT THE POWER OF REIGNS!" is 100% understandable, but blaming Reigns for what happened during that sport last night is not. Just look at the GIF, You can say he fucked up by not being able to improvise after it failed, but people are acting as if he "simply" dropped Taker, with total disregard with Taker's bad timing which, honestly, is to blame.
Worked out great for Brock at Wrestlemania 19!
Fantastic PPV? Did you get a Floslam subscription or something?

Same here, said "fuck yea" out loud and then the rest of the match was in "please let the Hardys win this" mode.
That was worth any other garbage I sat through last night.

It's depressing that I can legitimately see some line of that variation being used.
Fault goes on both guys.
As the "top guy" you're supposed to have the ability to call audibles in these situations and make chicken salad out of chicken shit.
Yes Taker obviously didn't swing around fully and then just couldn't even attempt a second try, but if Roman is really your number one guy leading your company you should know how the fuck to handle these situations when shit goes wrong.
If this was Cena vs Taker this year I GUARANTEE it would have been a better match.
Cena could have literally carried him.
I listened to that HHH podcast with his trainer and he says he doesn't do anything in the ring that he sucks at.
Just focus on what you are good at and let other people do what they are good at. Makes sense.
Anyhow, wonder if Reigns is still thinking about that botch.

I hope she feuds with Emma next. Take a break from the title scene but she's too big to just ignore and keep off TV.
I did like the panic mode Superman Punch though. "SHIT IT'S NOT WORKING. UHHH THIS WORKS".
She should have gone in as champ and retained last night.
The erratic booking for those women is really ruining their potential. It's annoying as hell.
Fuck knows. But him going on about Maryse being in her underwear and Miz being a bad dude and turning her down or some shit. Then going on about women in the kitchen..
He did improvise, he stopped after two attempts, made Undertaker stand up and did another super manpunch to knock Undertaker back down. If there's a better improvisation to a failed tombstone reversal I'd like to see it.

The women's fatal four way kind of screamed of WWE realizing Charlotte vs Bayley should have been the match going in.
I'm glad I couldn't really hear the commentary between the TV not being that loud and talking to my friend.

Things I learned this weekend.
Tye Dillinger continues to be the most mismanaged person on the roster.
Bobby Roode, is a top 10 wrestler in the world.He is a god damn psychology wizard, one of the best on the business.
Ill miss Goldberg, it was nice to have him finish the way it should have over a decade ago.
Orton is exactly who I thought he was, one of the most over rated personalities, and wrestlers of this generation.
How many matches has Brey won?
Stephanie is GOAT, in every way. Jesus.
Roman will never be over, unless they do something different. Its not rocket science WWE. the most stubborn bastards ever.
Muted the crowd ruins the match, so stupid.

I now wonder if he's at home in the kitchen and is struggling to get a jar lid off, that he just immediately does a super manpunch on the wall and breaks his hand.
I'm talking about the failed attempt at the tombstone reversal. The improvisation stuff is on him, I even said that too.
I just mean he shouldn't have attempted the failed tombstone a second time. That made it look worse.
I mentioned this in the Mania OT, Charlotte's progression has been legitimately amazing. When her and the four horsewomen were in NXT I think it would be easy to say that Charlotte was the worst of the three. But man, she's rocketed past them all since going to the main roster.

Cole is the worst part of Roman match. Stop yelling super man punch
Chokeslam. Even if it's a shitty chokeslam. Better than the panic Super Man punch.
Also Roman should have laid their for a little looking shocked after they fell over on the second attempt. He did nothing to make it not look like a horrible botch for their planned match. Roman is fucking terrible at psychology
Making Money Mitch is his nickname.

Yes, they could've done Taker vs Cena last night. I believe they could've done it last year (32) but Cena was hurt at the time.
I actually think Becky is. She's regressed since getting called up

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
Roman looks like he is about to give himself a hernia when he tries to lift someone up form a pin position to powerbomb them, he gets them up MAYBE halfway

She's easily the worst on the mic. Even in NXT it was her big issue and she can't even shoot talk right given her Raw Talk performance.
I'm not sure where to rank them. Charlotte probably tops it currently for me. She's a fantastic all around package.
Charlotte is also by far the biggest success of the PC and will probably always be their big success.

Charlotte is only in her position because of her father
And because of her in ring ability
And her mic skills
And the way she carries herself
Wait
Uh....green!
You mean King and JBL.
Putting them both together so they can try and ram their shitty dad jokes in commentary is like listening to nails on a chalkboard.
I really wish JBL would go away. King is already relegated to pre-show. He just needs to stay there.
