I still love the Shield and Evolution angle.
..
Alicia Fox is on point and doing a great job and is fine as MFer, but the WrassleGAF devolution into PopGAF stanning shit with queen this and wife that for the divas is weird.
Yep...a lot of these are comedy gimmicks that just don't work well in front of a perpetually changing crowd of 10k+ instead of the same small crowd. Plus they lose the "so cool no one knows but us" factor.

It is genuinely amusing that WWE thinks we could give a shit about Daniel Bryan's wife over his title run.
Not to mention it'd make Brie look like a heel if she asked Bryan to give up the title for her.

they don't. it's DBry having to choose between doing the right thing as he sees it for the fans he refused to let down tonight, against caving and saving his wife's job. his principals against his wife's career (and maybe their only current storyline source of income with him on the shelf).
it's a moral dilemma. basic stuff, but played pretty well if you ask me.
she won't, but he might do it anyway for her, all the same. making the sacrifice so she won't have to.
like that bit where the hero of the movie tells the other guy not to sacrifice himself, but the other guy does it anyway.

But as an audience we don't care. I get that Bryan does but it doesn't really matter unless the audience does.

I thought Raw was alright tonight.
Also, my wife asked what I wanted as a gift for our anniversary and I'm tempted to ask for a Replica/Commemorative WWE belt. I'm torn between these 4...
The Undisputed belt is probably my favorite one of them all and I'm leaning towards it. The bad part is there isn't the $200 Commemorative version.
But I also love me the Attitude Era belt... Same as above, no $200 version.
The big gold belt is a classic and I kinda like the look of the newest belt and these DO come in the cheaper version.
Decisions decisions...

Now why would you want to do a silly thing like that?

but that's exactly why it matters. you will judge him based on what he does. if he throws away his title to save his wife... you're telling me you won't care about that decision? of course you will. you'll be disappointed in him.
so you care.

Winged eagle fo' life.
There are only two belts that I would ever want if I were into having replicas of them. Those are the Winged Eagle belt and the Big Gold belt. Third choice would probably be that first one though.I thought Raw was alright tonight.

Not sure anything says "Skip Raw" quite like this post. Thank you, friend.
Personally, I'd go with the Attitude Era belt. But if you do go with a cheaper belt, I'd get the WHC.
He just...kinda...did it

That's twice now I've heard them refer to the "Payback Pay-Per-View".

I'm not sure I follow your logic.
But hey, if you want to jump the gun on subscribers when the terrible Extreme Rules didn't get them many new subscribers, knock yourself out. Kane VS DBry as your main event is supposed to bring in subscribers? I'll wait until post Summerslam to write off their chances of hitting a million subscribers before the next Mania.

The last time we had an argument like this, the phrase, "legit shook", was coined. Keep it up, guys.

I've finally figured out that this place is best in moderation. The two weeks of just watching wrestling without all the dramatic overreaction was nice. But I do enjoy that, every now and then, there can be intelligent discussion around here.

I care but not in the desired way that WWE wants me to, or in any way that a compelling story should want me to care. I care that this stuff is damaging to Bryan's character. If he gives up his title to save his wife that doesn't make him a "hero" in my mind and it doesn't really make me mad. I'll just become apathetic towards him because it seems like everything he does now has to involve Brie and I have no interest in that. WWE thinks it's the other way around where we'll accept Brie because we like Bryan. It's doing the opposite for me.
don't go, serene, don't leave me with these people

Were you not paying attention tonight? They painted it as him doing want the fans want and not backing down to Stephanie vs putting his wife before the fans. That's literally how they framed it.

I would go crazy if I watched WWE and didn't have this fine community to make me laugh and feel sane in my choice to continue watching. If anything you should post more. More I say!

Do random run ins like me. Just don't expect to ever feel welcome when you do
Still I think it's all in good fun. Anyways, I'm off back to gamer side to stare down the chance of getting banned that so many of you seem wary of.

This 'Twitter sponsored trends' argument is more entertaining than Raw.

Yeah. It's nice to turn the computer off and actually dissect a Raw or a Smackdown (this is why I never post on here when NXT is on) without distractions. But I do miss this place and certain people on here so I can never really leave.
I like the sarcasm and trolling alot. I mean it's not as negative as other places
edit: it's basically like watching anything with a group of people (sports or shows), alot of it is just bouncing off of each other

The argument is about the hashtags displayed on-screen and that WWE specifically points out are trending in an on-screen graphic.
Gosh, I hope this discussion is still going on when I catch up to real-time.

Steph needs to add more saliva to her throat whenever she says, "fired."
It helps make it sound more coarse and visceral.
You know it's true. A craftsman on the mic for sure.

Maybe Brie has missed her period if you know what I mean, and this is an easy way to get her off the show.

Did that come off as a retirement post? Fear not, I have no plans to retire. I just won't be the 800 post per OT champ I once was. But I will always be here. I WILL DIE IN THIS RING.
