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 just watched that Joe/Heyman promo. Holy shit!
Cos I fear a 60 minute draw that they don't execute perfectly and thus, is super boring.

So it really was just content overload. Even as stuff moved into things like In Your House: Rock Bottom and such they were still pretty well self contained to 2 - 2 1/2 hours.

The buildup will be "Joe gets suplexed"

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.

Cena beating Lesnar accelerated the infinite downward spiral by about a 1.6x multiplier.Hey, Brock Lesnar is back.
Fast-forwarding through Extreme Rules until something seems interesting. Just saw the Cody/Show finish:
>_>
What is the crowd turning going to do?

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.
I love this finish.Hey, Brock Lesnar is back.

Paul still the best.

Big Shows' face sells it. Straddles the line of "oh no I lost" and "I just botched that spot"

"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.

Riddle needs a manager
R-Truth and The Rock in that Survivor Series main event.
Depends on if you consider the rock black. And even you do that was like what 8 , 9 years.
Isn't he technically more black than samoan?

Good for Joey Janela. That Spring Break show was a good launching pad.

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.

This is great.
You can't really be one race more than a other
but Like actually he would be more Samoan given how werid the average African American family tree can be
