Titus puts together some great promos I don't know what it is about him that just doesn't work for me. I like the guy too. I want him to succeed. It just feels like everything he does turns out to be a dud.
The only way it works is if JJ is tricking Angle and it leads to a heel turn.
Then just copy-paste Angle's wrestling machine gimmick on to JJ so he can feud with face Chad Gable for who is the best wrestling machine.

That's not out of the question. It's a good idea.
They can make this JJ thing work. I believe.

There's nothing regressive about that storyline. Is being angry for no reason a stance worth having in 2017?

Doesn't he only have 7 moves?
That doesn't make work at all really , all it does kill kurt credibility and make him the biggest idiot in the world.
I mean, look at Angle's face these days. Man has looked dead behind the eyes for a while now... It's fucking scary.

He was pretty good in the title match last week so yes.
I'm not mad. If you love happy black men, evil brown people, and minorities contextualized by white guys, then have a ball. You're certainly watching the best program for it.

That looks like Jason and his wife visiting their grandpa Kurt.Nothing fake about this real family
Well I found out why the Curry I made was so spicy and was killing me. Re-reading the recipe.....it didn't say to use the entire packet of curry powder.
YOU FUCKED UP!

I think it's a huge shame that for all of TND's run Woods has had the least in-ring time of the 3 guys.
He's alright.

I had a culinary class in high school, my group was a bunch of idiots. We were supposed to make pumpkin pie one day but they didn't like pumpkin pie. So they were stupid/didn't care and misread the recipe. They put the sugar amount that was meant for the filling into the crust (like....a cup). Essentially turning it into a brick. Fun times when you're the person that has to clean it

This is right up Kurt's alley lol
Angles gimmick in WWE for a long time was basically being an idiot
Hey wrasslegaf,
I want to apologize for being an annoying poopy head gimmick poster. I'll refrain from conversing about current WWE from now on since I have no interest in it and don't want to ruin it for the rest of you.
Also, I hope Sweeney comes back soon. He's a true bro and shouldn't have to take a temp ban like that.
Anyways I watched the Omega/Elgin match from the G1 last night and almost jizzed at the finish. Take all the stars. Take them all.

It's about time Anth0ny admitted he's a staunch WWE supporter.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I once saw him vomit in a ring after taking a move. I don't think that counts as being really good seller.
Pumpkin pie is sacred. What a bunch of heretics.
Sure, but having the gm look like a idiot is pretty bad.
Well, in the context of WWE i'll take that over another corrupt heel authority figure

Agreed.
Alright duuuude. It's all good.
Well except for Raw, Smackdow, NXT, 205, etc etc etc.

Fashion Peaks was one of the greatest things ever show on television.
WWE has ran that angle so far into the ground that it's almost retroactively ruined the Austin/Vince rivalry for me. I'm sure Vince is sitting in creative meetings desperately thinking of ways to get Steph or HHH back on screen.

In the entire history of GMs in WWE they all look like idiots.
Honestly, I don't think it's worth apologizing over, but at least folks can move on.

Anthony, sent you a PM but wanted to publicly apologise to you and take full accountability of my attitude and how I framed my frustration with the hashtag. Happy to see you back.

I don't mind a verbal burial from Steph and Trips, but I just know it's gonna lead to another shitty match....No one needs to see another her Triple H match.
It's nice that you apologized, but you were 100% correct. That shit was annoying.

I'm not disputing that, only saying I should have framed that frustration a lot better. Whatever, no one is perfect.

The Cruiserweight Six-Man Tag match might have been the match of the night on Raw.
You had Akira Tozawa with a taped up shoulder so he is presented as a tough guy for competing while injured. Nese, TJP and Daivari look like baddies for targeting the shoulder and taking the easy way out. And then Daivari hits Tozawa with a spinning wristlock slam-
BOOM!
Tozawa crawls in pain to his manager Titus at ringside, who tries to convince him to forget about this meaningless match, leave the ring and focus on earning a title shot against Neville at SummerSlam.
"NOOOOOO!!! NOOOOOO!!!"
"I AM OKAY!!! I AM OKAY!!!"
This guy screams so loud the fans in the nosebleed seats can hear him.
His partners, Rich Swann and Cedric Alexander, hit the move of the night: A tandem spinning inverted corkscrew splash to the outside
SLAM!
Even Tozawa dives to the outside, he doesn't give a frick!
Man, this Tozawa guy has guts, grit, and attitude. Keep your eye on him.
Akira Tozawa sells the shoulder injury in the victory selfie. WWE. SUPER. STAR.

The problem I have with them as Authority figures is that they're basically untouchable. Steph gets to verbally bury everyone around her, nobody ever gets to have the last word on her, and she never gets comeuppance for her actions. With HHH it ultimately leads to a mediocre Wrestlemania match where HHH loses and then comes back a few months later and is unchanged both in terms of character and in terms of power.
Basically HHH and Steph are near untouchable characters who are also incredibly static and stale at this point. At least with Vince he was more than willing to put others over at his expense.

Remember when they had the beginnings of the HHH mafia and it actually seemed pretty awesome
And then nothing happened
Bummer
Need that heel group in suits

Suit wearing heel is practically a dead horse trope at this point. It's going to keep happening but it's not nearly the character transformation it used to be.
I still have no idea if Titus is a heel or a face. He manages nothing but babyfaces while continuing to look like unsympathetic, but neither of his charges have turned on him or look that interested in doing so.

I wish WWE would revert back to the New Generation and Proto-Attitude Era days where there weren't heel authority figures, and authority figures would almost always be off screen characters who only entered storylines when the story warranted it. This way the story focuses more on the active talent and when an authority figure does need to step in it becomes a bigger deal.

huh you can see Cena wiggling his fingers after the pin, clearly to see if everything was ok as the ref is checking on him and nakmura is laying down but you can see he is also checking on him off the corner of his eye.
its really interesting how these guys have to handle this type of stuff while in the ring and try not to break kayfabe and whatnot.
