Wait,
why do Steph and Foley have the ability to book a #1 contender for a title that's not even on their show.

Impossible to dodge, too many people were watching. Teachers were prowling the school during break/lunch, trying to stop kids doing wrestling moves on each other. A friend of mine who was a rugby player hit someone with a Jackhammer.
On smackdown
Ziggler challenged somebody from Raw to challenge him for the title because the Miz chickened out last week on his challenge.
Ah, there were only a few of us at my school. We did hit someone with a 3D during rugby once though.

I examined every pixel to see if you snuck in the wrasslinMania Ex-7 grade.
And the New Day had a great run when they were going head to head with The Brass Ring Club and The Primetime players.
The second they won that belt back at summerslam they haven't had a a good program or match with anyone else.
They have been part of some of the worst segments in the past 5 years (The Old Day and The Fake Final Deletion for example). Getting by on promos more concerned with what they saw on twitter that day or trying to get a cheap pop by reminding people that Xavier read a comic book in 1996. They will get their cheers because people like the entrance and many younger viewers like the shirts but it still doesn't change this : Right now they are a stale moldy cake with a colorful sugar frosting on it. At first glace it looks fine and may even taste great at first but the more you taste it the more it you notice how rancid it is and it will give you the shits.
Usos at least could still work good matches even when they were the stale color cena merch babyface during those years.

This is great since Sami will likely win but man, there are gonna be some salty Sami fans when he loses cleanly to Ziggler.

good times
EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH TIER
PROBABLY WORTH A WATCH IF YOU'RE STILL INTO WRESTLING TIER
YOU'RE PUSHING IT BUT THERE'S STILL SOME GOOD STUFF HERE TIER
THE WCW CHALLENGE SOMEONE SHOULD ALERT YOUR RELATIVES TIER
how is Starrcade 85 not a must watch?

Also, a B for Bash '97 is pretty crazy. Dennis Rodman is the only real highlight; a real shame he became best friends with North Korea rather than stick with wrasslin.
No reason to trust Vince and co in handling her the right way especially since they value Dana over her.
I plan to finish it tonight. I won't watch anything tomorrow because of ELECTIONGEDDON 2016 and I want to have the election be a distinct delimiter if you weeell between renegade outlaw xtreme wrasslin' and the rise of homogenized, monotonous sports entertainment. Because I'm a weirdo.

They do? Bayley beat Dana clean and last weeks segment made it clear as day she's getting the underdog story and now Dana's losing to Alicia Fox on Superstars.
I agree,except for them being in the worst segments. they can be forgotten. figured how they were getting would lead to heel turn to hold onto the belts. or just full heel after dropping them. but *i think it all depends on the politicaL climate of america*
Bayley shouldn't job until they have a heel to beat her up like Brock vs Cena at summerslam.

Oh oh, it's wrestlemania!
Can't wait to get my ticket Friday.
I dunno. You'll have to ask 2014 Zach.
King of the Ring 1995 is not fun. If it's the show I'm think of. Which I'm pretty sure it is.
And what do you know, Man God? You've never even given a show below a C on your Bush-League Super Grades! You're the video game press of PPV reviews. Always fishing for free stuff and exclusive PPV coverage.
You're pretty crazy!

Bayley being unbeatable from the start wouldn't make for a good story. The whole reason Bayley's climb to the NXT Title worked was because she got her ass kicked most of the time but matured bit by bit to rise to the top. I don't like the idea of them repeating it (namely I have concerns for how they would handle her feud with Sasha if it ever comes to that) but I can't blame WWE for wanting to go through with it again.
That segment is going to be edited to shreds when it gets broadcast. Videos on Twitter are showing it threw everyone off their game.

How much you possibly spending? We may spend 150 a pop.

I love it! This nasty woman Zach is the one I fell in love with all those years ago.
Since most likely the segment is going to be edited here is

Why are you two spoiling general dicussion of Bayley's character?
You're making me paranoid!

The discussion spoils something about the taped episode.
As low as I can go.

You watching around-the-clock coverage?
There was also stars around her that the viewers wanted to see more and the Bayley character wasn't over to what it needed to be. Also Bayley wasn't a good enough worker at the time of the triple threat for example to hold the belt. Now sheis over enough to be the person people root for.
Only reason we see babyface rejection from winning or looking tough today is Vince tends to value people whom nobody fucking wants to see in that spot. Roman wasn't ready for that rumble win and his career is still going through the gutter even though he has massively improved in the ring.
Bayley is over and her rise to the top does not require Vince or some suit in the back convincing people that she needs to win because they can prance her on the today show.
Outside of HHH and Ryan Ward I'm convinced that people like Steph, Vince, and Hayes just don't know how to book babyfaces anymore.
Its so fucking dumb that somebody like Seth or Y2J is being treated as a top babyface when they have done nothing to become one.
The modernday WWE babyface is a heel whom the crowd wants to see do flippy shit or make a joke.

That's a good argument and I agree with you for most of those points.
To me, I think it's just NXT retconning where most that happened in NXT means jack-shit on the main roster unless you're someone like Balor who was shot straight into the mega-push and thus you had to make a big deal out of.
Don't remind me of Balor. He was the chosen one. The KO Show was supposed to happen next year....after epic battles with Balor.
If you're wondering how long it took me to...
- Watch every pay-per-view and Clash of the Champions on the WWE Network with undivided attention through WCW's demise
- Watch every Saturday Night's Main Event
- Watch every WCW Monday Nitro
- Watch/skim every Monday Night Wars-era RAW
...it took
Don't do it, kids.

They managed to make KO boring. Just imagine what a Balor reign would've been like

Isn't Sami supposed to do a program with Strowman?

Further rumors are circulating that Vince McMahon was seen running around the roof of Titan Towers shouting "I created Trumpamania, and by god, at Electiongeddon, I'm gonna kill it!!!"
We already got a taste of it with "The Demon King" times infinity.
