Okay I was way behind and then got even further with RAM being on so I'm skipping a bunch because it's really late now. Enjoyed those first four MYC episodes but goddamn that commentary was dreadful and that was AFTER they went back and redid it, holy shit.
Demi Bennett/Rhea Ripley (she apparently started wrestling four years ago) is a future star as is Taynara Conti... Jazzy is totally getting signed if she isn't already and they set up a good way to bring her in and I hope they use it. I'd do the old grabbing the authority figure's attention route by having her meeting with Regal or being prevented from having it, maybe more than once leading to her jumping the rail while Abbey (it's taken a minute to get use to that after years of Kimber Lee) is in the ring and beating the crap out of her. I still need to remind myself that despite how long Toni Storm has been around she's still only like 21 or 22. >_<
I think Abbey also sets up more opportunity to set up things as a kind of underdog sort and later on with Jazzy.
Their apparently changing the finish in the middle of the match is kind of hilarious I wold love to know what went through Marti's mind.
Ember has been doing it for around a decade at this point, if she were to have problems I'd think they would've started by now, pay attention to the way she lands, I don't think it's usually a straight butt drop, still I do hope she gets an alternate finisher at some point and saves the Eclipse for bigger matches. It might also help both of them that WWE's rings are a lot more forgiving than most.

I agree on 1 and 2 but I think I'd put Abbey/Jazzy at number 3. Of course Kairi is the best! I know they didn't on the replay but the damn camera cuts every ten seconds or less continues to be annoying, I can't believe they even did it on Kairi's diving elbow, it's so damn simple to shoot so what the fuck?

That felt like a "lol rumors" (though it's probably one of those one person said something and another said something else deals) when she called for it.
I think we said only if Vince wasn't involved, they were doomed the moment it was announced it would run after Smackdown and Vince's hands would be all over it, WWE has never successfully done a light/cruiser weight division so that wasn't going to change now.

LOL with Cena doing the worked shooting on what we've all said on Roman. Double LOL on Alexa Bliss winning the title back and Sasha once again getting only a couple or so weeks with it. Triple LOL at doing a Nia turn already.
I still need to watch more but I think I'm going to bed instead.

Didn't someone from stardom say Kairi told them she couldn't use it too?
Backlash brought it back thankfully.
See how he goes from 1) to 2) smoothly?
uncut he flubs after cena makes a joke:

If the audience buys into what you're saying Cena's laughing doesn't come off as burying, it comes off as a shook jerk trying to save face. Nobody(not literally you marks) buys into what Roman's saying, he doesn't have that conviction in his words(however he showed a flash of anger tonight which was his best showing yet) and he especially can't use the same arguements that someone like a CM Punk can when Roman's known as WWE's new golden boy.
Remember Roman when he was in the ring with Joe and Brock, he felt like a guy playing a character while the other two were on some grown ass man shit. It's a combo of Roman being sabotaged by the script and him personally being too chill of a person and unable to bring out that "realness", the guy has an issue fully embodying his character and the booking does him no favors.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I feel like this whole promo caters to smarks way too much.

Nearly Russo levels of catering

Like this feels like "Vince found wreddit" levels of cringe. Like, at least pretend it's real on the TV show itself.
And for gods sake don't throw Reigns out for this kind of segment.

Where's Zach. WCW adds another W tonight.
That and making a Southpaw character canon probably means he did find Wreddit somehow.

Like Cena is burying him but it's not enough in character.
Vince wants Reigns to get over and as you can see he's running out of ideas fast. People like Miz, Joe and AJ have gotten over with similar promos so in Vince's very basic mind this should work for Roman too
Wouldn't be surprised if Roman does the job to see if that earns him some sympathy

Like Cena is killing him here but how does this help anyone other than Cena in the match itself who doesn't need any help?
Cutting that promo and having Cena lose looks even stupider than the opposite. I knew Cena could cut that promo because he's Cena. Duh.
Who was it that was complaining about Miz having a "smarky podcast host" gimmick?
Cos Cena took that shit to 100.
