So I was thinking about this. When this began happening with the In Your House stuff, how did it not feel overwhelming in that 95-99 run? Was it the simple fact that early on we only really had RAW and it was two hours, then in later years the fact that wrestling was just white hot and we all wanted more?

I can't even begin to imagine how they map that match out. I'm expecting Brock to not give a shit and booking just resorts to more of the same.

The buildup will be "Joe gets suplexed"

Brock laughs all the way to the bank

Mixed tag feud of Bayley and Bray vs Sami and Becky.

Double countout finish.
Click to expand...

Eh, Sami and Becky aren't booked too terribly. At least Becky always comes across as a strong but beatable face who gets taken advantage of because she's never do the wrong thing (She's what Bayley should be). Sami's booking's been fine outside of when they turned him into Woody Allen, his win/loss isn't that bad outside of big matches (which was always his thing) and even when he loses most of the time it's because the heel cheats.

Bayley and Bray never win and complain that they deserve shot after shot or claim to be the new face of fear. When Becky or Sami lose it tends to mean something to them as characters, where as Bayley/Bray lose they're booked just to pretend like it doesn't happen all the time.

As likely as this is, I hope it's not but if it is I hope the crowd finally turns, shit got old ages ago... I just saw it's in Dallas, guess I shouldn't get my hopes up for that.

Hey, Brock Lesnar is back.

Fast-forwarding through Extreme Rules until something seems interesting. Just saw the Cody/Show finish:

Cena beating Lesnar accelerated the infinite downward spiral by about a 1.6x multiplier.

WWE plans to distribute the Mae Young Classic tournament in a different way, PWInsider.com has exclusively confirmed.

The plan is to film the 32-woman tournament on 7/13 and 7/14 at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida for the WWE Network.

The Network will debut a preview special for the tournament on 8/20 with the first round of the tournament being released via Video on Demand the final week of August as a way to let fans binge the "episodes."

The second round will be released the first week in September, again via the VOD service. Initially, the plan was to release them Summerslam week but the decision was made to hold off so that the women's tournament was not overshadowed by everything else WWE had scheduled for that week, which is pretty smart.

The current plan is to hold the finals live on Tuesday 9/12. Currently, the only WWE event scheduled that day is a taping in Las Vegas for the Smackdown brand, so it may be that the finals of the Mae Young Classic will air live on the Network from Las Vegas.

WWE has already locked in a number of talents for the tournament.

BOOOOOO if they do the finals in Vegas instead of at Full Sail.

They probably don't want a repeat of the Full Sail shitting on TJP incident for when some lesser known gal beats Hojo clean (joking on the last part) but the whole crowd will boo someone for beating someone they like thing might still happen.

Welp

"June 6th: WWN is allowing Riddle out of his bookings on July 8th and July 9th to pursue another opportunity. We feel it is only fair for Riddle's career. However, we do deeply value the fans who will attend our debut events on July 8th in Charlotte, NC and July 9th in Atlanta, GA. Trent Baretta has been added to EVOLVE 88 and EVOLVE 89 as a replacement."

I hate Bork and his part time I don't give a f**k about any of this BS.

Wish the crowd would turn on him and just go full "Joe is gonna kill you." but I know it wont happen, stupid people mark out for him still for some reason.

The only thing Bork has been involved with that was interesting was getting squashed by Goldberg that time just because it was such a surprising moment.

Probably a New Day segment from ages ago.

That or when Sasha Banks/Charlotte main evented Hell in a Cell just so Vince could get off on making Sasha lose in her hometown again.
