That feel when you watch 3rd Rock From The Sun and it has a Chyna cameo.

WWE did put her in the HoF eventually but the treatment before that was so shitty, she was one of the attitude era's most defining wrestlers.
Don't get me on my soapbox about Chyna. You should listen to what Russo had to say regarding her death, it hits hard man. She didn't deserve what she got at all. It's not like she killed, kidnapped, or raped someone. It's sorta sad, I think if Sable wanted back, they'd bring her back easily(but you wouldn't want to upset a beast) but Chyna was shunned away like she had leprosy. Yeah yeah, Playboy and porn is different but my 5 year old cousins could easily google her name and that Playboy would be the first thing to pop up.

So is Roman having the belt worse than Cena having the belt? I mean it's too early for AJ to have it but...are people really that unhappy with Roman holding the title until AJ has enough exposure in WWE?

plz explain why, thanks~
Your first mistake is that you expect AJ Styles to "eventually" get the WWE World Heavyweight title and that the only reason his 38-year-old self isn't considered right now is that it's "too early".

Everyone? I like Roman. Good matches is good enough for me.
Yup. My girlfriend doesn't understand why people hate him. After I explained the whole "people are upset it was given to him" and all that, she called wrestling fans stupid.

Basically everyone hates him, he's been pushed too hard and too early, if WWE took the time over a couple of years to build him up, he could be a very good champion.

The fact that WWE are actively removing anti Reigns signs from the crowds, muting boos and piping in fake cheers really shows that the fans clearly don't want this.

Plus his booking makes everyone look like shit, AJ beat him with a chair, delivered his finisher twice, once on to a chair and had interference from the club and still Roman kicked out and finished the match with just a single spear.

Neither guy comes out of it looking good and hey presto you've got a mutinous fanbase on your hands.
Yeah I saw the match at the PPV, you knew exactly what was going to happen before the match started.

I feel that alot of Roman's faults stem from the fact that WWE didn't development as much as they did with the other former shield members, they had better rivalries, promo's and I guess even gimmicks. Seth was a good Heel and his feud with Cena was so polarizing...I found myself rooting for him than Super Cena because I was so sick of Cena carrying the company on his back.

You think this feud with AJ is going to lead anywhere for AJ Styles? I don't think it's going to last until next Mania...but will he have earned the title before then or what do you think will happen?

Also...How do you feel about guys who moved from NXT to main roster? They being treated right to you or talent wasted on bad booking?

Not sure if you misinterpreted my intention but I think AJ is more than ready to be a champion in WWE, but the way that the company tends to treat people regardless of their ring history is another thing altogether...
I only assumed that WWE isn't ready to make him champ because WWE only fans don't know him like general wrestling fans do. If this isn't what you mean't then please be a little more clear on what you mean because I really don't know where your going with this.

I remember this. Chyna in 3rd Rock and The Rock in Star Trek Voyager was a very cool time.
 
Owens and Zayn are currently the best thing they have right now on Raw and Smackdown.

Charlotte is a good champ, but needs to stand on her own two feet without constant interference, they are wasting the potential of Sasha Banks though I feel. She's probably the best all round women's worker in the company.

They need to have her ditch Team BAD immediately upon her return, she could play either heel or face, but I would say have her turn heel again like back in NXT, full on Legit Boss. Her as a dominant heel champion would so good.

I wish some of the YouTube playlists actually had the good wrestling themes instead of Honky Tonk Man and jobber bullshit.

Trying to find a playlist while I play Smite. I've got no podcasts left to listen to :(
 
I'm baffled Sasha is/was in Team BAD. Talk about having two dead weights attached to a star.
Idk what they were thinking with that. Let's just hope they know what they're doing for SummerSlam. Parts of me would've preferred Natty v Sasha at Summerslam just because they're probably the best two women wrestlers at the moment. I think they plam ahead for next Mania with her and Bayley tearing down the house again as long as both can stay healthy.

Try listening to Rutten and Ranallo, more MMA than wrestling but it is amazing all the same.
 
I wish USA did more of those "Characters Welcome" commercials with all of the actors in their shows interacting with each other. Those were some of my favorite commercials in general. Big Show used to always have the best ones, too.

Totally agree with Sasha needing to leave that faction...ugh.

I had to research, I didn't know Adrian Neville was out on a ankle injury.

Did people not like Kalisto as champ? I thought people were warming up to him being Rey#2

Not sure what they are doing with Baron Corbin tho...

You know, that Jeff vs Matt segment is hyping up the "Let's end it where it all began" thing but it got me thinking, shouldn't they wrestle on a tramampoline, trambomboline, trampoline just like they did as kids?

This reign for Kalisto was similar to Rey's run as a champion, weak. They gave it to him just because of hos performance at TLC and they did nothing with it. The feuds weren't actually built up and the title matches were on the pre show. Kalisto deserved more than that.
 
Really hoping that Bayley get's the right treatment when she get's called up to the main event, her feud with Sasha Banks last year was amazing.
 
Biker Taker was a good time, it actually allowed him to be human, his ladder match with Jeff Hardy on RAW was great.

Since then Taker ages like a fine wine and Hardy is a drug addled mess.

Kallisto's title run was terrible. It was boring, had no good feuds, no real memorable matches or stories, he looked weak and WWE clearly weren't getting behind him at all relegating his title matches to the pre show at PPV's.

I don't know I Kallisto would have risen to the occasion given the opportunity, but the booking gave him absolutely no chance. Bad title run was bad.

Ladybaby is just a cheap Babymetal rip-off/spoof. It's funny, until you realize one of the girls is 14-year-old gravure idol.

It's the one with the beard, right?



Also, can someone track down and assassinate the person who instead of booing during the Samson vs Aries match, made a foghorn-esque noise for thirty seconds? Just fucking obnoxious.
 
Holy Shit Heyman is breaking all types of kayfabe. Saying Jericho and Kane don't lile each other even though they're both good guys. Then daring Cole to go do something about Regal talking in the ring. He has to be on something.

I won't defend the title run (Kalisto was set up to fail) but the two pay-per-view matches vs. Ryback were perfectly serviceable.

Kalisto is pretty boring.

Rey made a name for himself battling against what was an amazing WCW cruiserweight division. There was nothing like that for Kalisto while he had the title. A feud with Ryback and what else? Del Rio? Bunch of big guys that suck anyway.
 
Let's hope that the Cruiserweight tournament segues into the return of the Cruiserweight division and not just a token division either like in the past with only half a dozen talents.
