Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
They should just use it better.

It's a great gimmick but the gift of the gods might be better.

Although the surprise cash in can be a good holy shit moment.
It mostly just makes for cheapening the belt because you don't have to do anything to get the title and because they just fake cash-ins constantly.

Also, the Divas storyline is so bad. They all separated into equal sized cliques for no real reason other than making sure each team had the same number of people on it. Like, there's no reason any particular Wrestler took any particular side.
 
If only they had other plot mechanisms (King of the Ring, Royal Rumble, the IC title) that could designate contenders to the world championship throughout the year.

There was at least a dozen easy ways to bring the NXT women up and refresh the division and somehow they fucked it up.

Absolutely trash.

Getting assigned teams by Stephanie was a bad move, and they're stuck with wrestlers (Brie, Tamina) who can't keep up with the others in the actual matches.

The only reason it's better than ROH's Faction Warfare storyline is that there isn't a name as stupid as the No Remorse Corps, though BAD and PCB are close.

Hilarious to see Cyborg work herself into a shoot on Twitter.

Did Ziggler's Twitter account get restored?

In general, people should stay off of Twitter. Specifically, athletes should definitely stay off of Twitter.

Twitter is something that needs to die in general. If you're a celebrity or any kind of public figure for a company, Twitter is simply a PR nightmare that's waiting to happen because it's so easy for a comment to be taken out of context and blown way out of proportion these days.
 
Do you recall who was the longest reigning Diva's champion was until AJ beat her record? And how meaningless it matters?

Remember that memorable Dean Ambrose US title reign? Held for 351 days and rarely, if ever, fought on PPV. I'll counter that. Rarely, if ever, defended the title period.

In Ambroses defense....He was in the shield. >_>

Dean held a lower belt in a division with other belts.

Nikki is the sole champion in her division in an era where the role of what a female wrestler, entertainer, and fighter is changing despite her basically being the wwes Kim Kardashian.

Hell they should rename the company wcw after Vince dies.

Nobody wants to watch the entertainment champ

Keep the parent company named WWE. Rename the wrestling portion of it to WCW. I'd be okay with this.

Alternate name -
World Championship Wrestling Federation
 
I'm going through the DGUSA/Evolve store to guess what kind of merch they'll have at this weekend's EVOLVE show since my ticket came with a few dollars of merch credit.

EVOLVE/DGUSA's merchandise selection is dire, even for a small indy company. The only possibly wearable item is the EVOLVE logo cap.
 

Aiii

So not worth it
The last time WWE tried to revive a company, it wasn't that great.

Probably best to leave WCW in peace.

Besides, Triple H fucking hated WCW's guts, he'd bury his own company just because he can.

Why would they make merch good for only 2 weeks.
Because Rollins is winning no matter what.

That's why they had Orton go over instead of cesaro. If Cena can't wrestle Orton can go up against Rollins and a loss wouldn't hurt him as much as cesaro.

Although Vince is an idiot and can change his mind at any time. They turned barrett into a jobber despite making him king of the ring and printing 3 new shirts for him.

He hated them so much that he brought back the Big Gold Belt

He hated them so much he brought back all of the wcw stars to fued with him, have himself the big gold belt, and traveled around pretening he was a member of the horseman.

And a good portion of the stuff is really old. Yeah, the caps are the best option.

His genuinely entertaining feud devolving into another CenaWinsLOL story ended up killing his momentum in the eyes of a lot of us. There was really no reason for him to not win the US Belt from Cena, especially when he was going to drop the NXT Title to Balor and Cena is fighting for the World Title.

That feud really killed his momentum.

They pretty much sandabagged him and even people that like him have little reason to care right now. Especially with all this "Walk Owens Walk" shit.

It's more the ridiculous way they're going about it, where the title is just not being defended at all in order to pad days.

Is there anything more pathetic than all the UFC fighters trying to get Mayweather-senpai to notice them?

Getting Mayweather to acknowledge someone from UFC is basically an accomplishment. Mayweather has been dodging acknowledging UFC fighters almost as well as he's been dodging real opponents.
