Gotta hand it to Kevin Owens for faking a sickness to dodge being in the League of Nations to avoid being just another guy in a squad built to be Roman cannon fodder.

If Sheamus loses the belt on Sunday, his on-screen record since winning the belt will be 1-6 (the 1 win being that 7 on 4 match)

Only champ in modern history to do worse is Harper, who won the IC title from Dolph, held it for exactly a month, lost it back to Dolph, and didn't win at all in between
Isn't the whole point of building up a faction and surrounding yourself with muscle and henchmen to ensure that you DON'T lose unnecessary matches?

Every Big Man in 90s had a PowerBomb it's like their go to move
And every single one was great.

Vader? Check
Sid? Check
Nash? Check (when he could be arsed)
Hall? Check
Scott Fucking Norton? Check

You could probably count on one hand how many kickouts there have been from those 4 guys.
Probably just Hogan...

BG is kayfabe. I'm not sure if I follow your question though. You mean even more kayfabe'd out? As in "Tyler Breeze the model offers tips to the new blood" type?

Yes exactly. BG is kayfabe in the sense that it's probably largely scripted, but they do sort of admit it's all a performance and show these wrestlers acting relatively "normal" even though they never use their real names.
You can argue it's the least Kayfabe. But yeah.
 
The manufactured controversy about this emulator business in the Humble NeoGeo Bundle might be the dumbest thing I've ever read on this forum

There must be some kind of new low for Wyatts contest within the Creative. You think it can't get worse but they always find a new way.
 
"Alberto del Rio gave his first interview to Mexican media since he went back to the WWE today to Felix Zapata from Reforma and he said that WWE had originally allowed him to work the Guerra de Titanes show on 12/4 which was the original date but when they cancelled the show, he said that WWE pulled the offer and Alberto blames the disorganization of AAA for why he wasn’t able to lose his title in the ring thus being vacated. Alberto said that it is shameful that he wasn’t allowed to go out gracefully in his country because of AAA’s disorganization and that he wanted his fans to know what the real situation was. Now this contradicts everything that Dorian Roldan has said about this situation so it’s a he said he said situation but Alberto can point out to the fact that he was allowed to Work for WWC in Puerto Rico on 12/5 against Ray Gonzalez Jr. so maybe the real story will come out and clear this mess up."

When did interventions happen? I went back and didnt see a red name posting so I feel like I missed something

A GIF was posted, and it contained NSFW footage (I didn't see it), then Y2Kev posted saying that he receives a PM a day related to this community, later on Besada posted as well saying that he did a lot to keep this community open, but that a lot of times we cross the line.

Now, if they see NSFW things and/or bad behavior in general, we'll lose the thread for a month.

Slime was caught, literally, while I was still reading the warning and Bask decided to set the thread on fire a few pages back.

I guess Eva tries to do the Sliced Bread #2 or whatever.

But like, Charlotte has the Figure 8 (Fucking stupid), Paige has the Paige Turner which I am pretty sure is just AJ's Black Widow. Sasha has the Bank Statement. Becky has uh... something?

Paige has a scorpion crosslock as a finisher. Doesn't really look anything like AJ's.

Nia Jax has a slam and a leg drop.

Emma has the Emma Lock.

Asuka has the Asuka Lock (ugh)
.

With the exception of the Rock Bottom and Stone Cold Stunner, putting wrestlers names into their finishing move names has always sounded stupid as hell in my opinion (I dont think Stinger Splash counts as a finisher).
 
To be fair, that's a pre NXT thing

The "ugh" is more about the name. The move looks fine, though I still like the flying cross armbar better.

Exactly. Asuka Lock also doesn't flow very well; as they say, it doesn't have a great mouth feel to say.
 
Why is Scott Hall pimping Paige's family on Twitter trying to get them all to WWE? The hooligans suck

They had an OK match with Haskins & Redman in RevPro, but yeah, they're pretty standard - I'd be fine with WWE bringing Saraya in, but I don't know that she's particularly TV friendly, haha. Ricky definitely isn't.
