Couple of vanilla midgets fighting some Asian dudes. Who booked this? Do they need consulting from Vince or Kevin Dunn?

The "dive" at 7:15 is something special.
The Botchamania site is such a piece of shit, even Maffew admits it.
Direct Vimeo link if anyone wants it.

Any chance of Styles winning the rumble? Don't really want to resub to the network if it's just going to be a reigns/hhh snoozefest
Actually I have heard it said that Susan G. Komen is not a great cause. Something about not much of the money actually helping people? Never really looked into it though

That would mean the rumble is surprising, so most likely no.

Friends, I had a dream that I was in the Royal Rumble. Except the Royal Rumble was like a massive version of laser tag with real lasers set on a space station. I was in at No.8 and it was my job to job to Reigns to make him look strong.
Instead, I went into business for myself and went into hiding, taking out the other contestants one-by-one. It was getting to the point where I had to eventually give up and let Roman go over, then I stumbled upon a room where two female contestants were about to get it on with each other AND THEN I WOKE UP.
Why brain, why!?

SGK is controversial for many reasons, the biggest one being that they market themselves as a cancer research charity ("Buy our pink shirt to cure cancer!") whereas what they actually do is cancer awareness, with very little of their money going to actual research. Awareness is important, but it's a major misrepresentation in their marketing.
Then there's the fact that their owners are very well paid indeed, and that they have tended to sue smaller charities for using any kind of slogan with "cure" in it (which again, is a misrepresentation in the first place), as though they want a monopoly on breast cancer charities. Look up pinkwashing for more.
So WWE goes "Buy the pink Cena shirt to cure cancer", when they pocket 90% of the money paid for the shirt, and maybe 1% of the 10% given to SGK actually goes to cancer research. Making that tidy profit off the backs of "We're so charitable, shareholders" is distasteful.
Nope. If that happens anyone here can choose my forum avatar.

WWE teaming with Jenny McCarthy is still the grossest thing.
They align pretty closely ideologically.
Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
No offense to the writer, but suggesting that Lemmy Kilmister be inducted to the WWE HoF is the most ludicrous thing I have read in a while. Absolutely ridiculous.
Reminder she tweeted this hours before they inducted a dead kid into their hall of fame.
still can't believe she actually tweeted this
hilarious
Why did it have to be her. We almost had Shane.

Gross as hell. Thanks for the info.
Shane was too good for the wwf
Big E interrupts main event segment, cuts a firey yet hugely entertaining promo about how he's gonna be the next WHC
and your daddy AND your uncle
A man can dream.
He'll be inducted this year in the celebrity portion.
Why does everyone think Shane should have been in charge of the company? The Internet's fascination with him being the head of WWE has always confused me. Was it because he took bumps?
Meltz is predicting AJ debuting the RAW after the PPV, instead of appearing as an entrant in the Royal Rumble. Makes more sense to me.
AJ did already strongly suggest he was going to be in the Rumble at a recent indie show, but wrestlers constantly say things that never get booked.

That, and they want a male in charge.
It's probably that he a) seems like a better human being and/or b) likes what wrasslin' fans like.
That's just the impression I get. I don't really know. Except that he's a better person than Vince and Stephanie. That doesn't seem hard to pull off...

He was forward thinking
Wanted to buy the UFC in 2001
Wanted to launch ECW As a online show only(basically what next is)
Guy seems to have good business sense

Actually everyone here is saying that too.
His ideas for WWE online and a division devoted to it was very similar to NXT. The guy knew where the fuck this stuff was going. And honestly, yeah, doing insane shit, taking huge bumps, is part of what makes Vince the promoter he is. "I wouldn't ask anyone to do anything I wouldn't".
I mean the reality is his ideas and vision was not carney enough for Vince and co., so none of that really matters.
Really man?
I don't fucking care what sex Steph is, on an ideological level she is horrible. She took the parts of her dad I dislike the most and amplified them.
Hope you're kidding because I kind of resent you for flippantly suggesting that I'm sexist.

He had interesting ideas for ECW, was apparently very well liked backstage, as opposed to steph, who was apparently uber jealous of how well heyman was running smackdown.
This is all supposition of course, since all we get is scuttlebutt.
Stay winning sunny
Shane had a ton of visionary ideas that were shot down by his father plus from what little we know of his departure HHH forced him out because Shane wanted to take control.
From Shane's perspective I don't see why he would want to get involved with the company again. Too much drama and bullshit.

Wasn't referring to you, but the internet at large. I guess that's the bad part of when I paint with broad strokes, it also catches people who don't feel that way.
I'd say your standard WRASSLIN FAN who goes "MAN WHY IS IT STEPHANIE IT SHOULDA BEEN SHANE, DID YOU SEE HIS CRAZY BUMP OFF THE TITANTRON" type feels that way. We're different!

I check my Facebook once a month at best. Even the left-wing posts that I agree with are obnoxious. >_>

People just take a random controversial picture, with a completely made up fact in white text thrown over it, and share it with everyone "Disgusting, I can't believe this!"
It makes me sad so many people are that gullible.

Brutha don't you insult Crush!
I had a childhood friend that loved Crush.
He's up there as one of the worst of all time.
