Maybe if Seth actually wrestled like a face instead of a flippy flip high flying face, they wouldn't have to worry about people loving him before they're ready to turn him.

Whenever someone talks bad about booty eating I just, I just
My man. We eatin' cake tonight.
Wow, that's insane and bizarre. Vince truly is on his own planet.
social justice warrior, n.: (informal, derogatory) a person who expresses or promotes socially progressive views.
Ok...was afraid to ask.

Seth is in a weird position where he isn't really given a rivalry so much as revolving opponents. And he never wins clean, but he's never the one behind it, there's usually something else beyond his control that shows up so none of his matches have a good blow-off.

Vince not knowing about foreign porn is probably the least surprising part of a Vince story I've ever heard
No doubt Vince probably doesn't have any fetishes for Asians. At all. We know he 's down with chocolate booty though.
Because people were actually talking about the Taker lies down for five minutes match after Summerslam ended unlike the Owens vs Cesaro match

It's ok. If even just one person says to themselves "huh, maybe we DO treat women shitty in games" then it's a fight worth fighting. I used to be like that, I used to treat women shitty. And I didn't think I was doing anything wrong, because society said I wasn't. Well, society was wrong.
Disagree. Fans were in it. A lot. Why? Because they gave a shit about the characters. Sometimes we forget.
That's part of why Bayley and Sasha was great. It's not just about the flippy shit.

You picked the wrong game series to die on the vine for, breh
SF ain't been nothing but fanservice and bombastic craziness since day one

You should make a thread about this in OT and see what GAF-at-large thinks.
Standard WWE policy is booking a cool-down match before the main. Not a 'fast-paced future superstars' match.
It's how passionate they are about the cheesecake that gets me. Like, these are grown men salivating over a video game character with a boob-and-butt window in 2015, and they see nothing out of the ordinary with this.

I ain't dyin, pal. I'm a member of the No-Bans Club est. July 2015
Yes it's odd but didn't hurt final match at all. There are no longer Diva bathroom breaks so I guess the only other thing you can do is put a squash match.
Or... just work hard to have people care about your Main Events.

A Moose would kill Brock, they are the only animal you cant suplex.

I bought an IWA-MS show and the first half-hour features one of those Circus of Horrors-style carnival acts, but this one's as low-rent and terrible as you'd expect from IWA-MS. Bronson, what gives? Let Ian know we want goddamn wrasslin, not this shit. Cheers!
I'm all for selling, and I like most Taker matches, but going from '0-60' to 0-10 then a quick sleep' is odd. That's more a match placement thing granted. Taker does what he does well, but after seeing two guys work a fast pace it feels a tad odd for 'THE DRAMA OF A CLOTHESLINE' to kick in.

It's the only match of the night that people weren't expected to be invested in any story. Putting them in front of the biggest story of the night so the audience can clear their minds is the perfect spot.

Deer are fair game, though
PS bite me Boots, I hope that mp4 breaks your damn computer
Things I wanted to mention. These NXT women matches are really some of the first times in recent memory where I watch the match for simply being a wrestling match.
Dudes are dudes, and sometimes it's impossible to take away the sexualization of women in wrestling, but somehow..they've done it. And sure, some guy might joke about how maybe these girls aren't "good looking enough" or whatever, but fans finally care in a serious manner.
It's not just about looking at Trish's bottom, as nice as it is, or whatever. I don't know, it's progress. And hopefully we can keep going down that route.
You can't ever take the attraction completely away, sexually, but it's headed in the right direction.
As long as the moose doesn't use dirty tactics like horns to the gut...Bork got this.

Wait until CZW's 2 PPVs this year, with main events that will take 45 minutes to get the ring set up
The complete Pee Wees Playhouse on blu-ray is only 70 dollars today on Shout Factory

Right, right! It'll always be there but it's not the FOCUS like it has been for so long. It's truly a
New Day
Fair enough.
My point is more that they SHOULD be in a position where people remember their match the next night. Putting them before Taker-Lesnar means that their fast-paced style doesn't matter. IC title absolutely should've been before Taker-Lesnar, the perfect 'cool down' match. It does a dis-service to the effort Cesaro/Owens put in that their match doesn't mean shit ten minutes later.
And for the record, I'm not knocking Taker-Lesnar. Taker-HHH was all psychology and slow-selling and was awesome.

It just wouldn't be Cage of Death without a huge-ass, momentum killing intermission.
Incidentally, I just imagined what a horrid combination of terrible business practices a conjoined Gabe & Deej booked promotion would look like.

A couple of days after. It seems they put stuff up on CZWStudios a month after the show, which is nice.

I only saw the ad for it, but does Swerved have a prank of making people think a pregnant woman in the gym fell from the chin up bar on her stomach? Because that's what the ad makes it look like.

No no, just her having a baby

Man, I forgot all the amazing things that happened during R-Truths sudden Main Event run. The drinking of water, the smoking of a cigarette all LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE on TV.

Oh. The ad shows a woman falling from the chin up bar onto her stomach, and then has Ryder in shock that she's going into labor. The editing made it look super dark.

They were all amazing. And when he dumped his entrance music...
I've changed my tune on Rollins. Henry had the best heel run. Should've had him run until Mania at Smackdown Champ God-dammit...

Sorry to say, but it kind of didn't matter. There was barely any build-up, and no consequences.
And that's not going to change unless some degree of nuance is given to Owens and cesaro.
They wanted to, but then he got injured.
That's not bad, compared to WWE putting up Raws after a few months.

Is R-Truth's run on Network yet?
The CZWStudio's streaming service is really good, content is exploded the last month or so.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
That's why it was fine. It was a very good wrestling match for people who care about it but you could easily skip it since there was barely a reason they were fighting.
