is there a way for both of these guys to lose and get someone else into the tournament?

 

[Tetsujin]

At least someone from Sacramento is winning something this year.

Shout out to Sac-Town's Finest!

 

[Tetsujin]

Welp. Melo it is then.

why the hell did you have him get matched up against Gunther, who gets booked like prime Taker, in the first round of the tourney then?

The only thing that was missing was Samantha Irvin doing the pre- and post-match introductions/announcements!!!

Becky lowkey just doing a (edited to avoid the forum politic rules) impression as her heel character is sorta awesome lol

Soooo is Dark State’s gimmick just that they get to use four dudes in normal two-on-two tag matches for some reason?

The best thing going in wrestling right now imho

Ethan Page is so good. I don’t see any reason why he couldn’t immediately slot right into a Miz role on the main roster.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I can't repost the tweet here because it's not suitable for the board, but Lexis King is a wild boy!

Link: Legendary WWE Heel Believes He Could Have ‘Easily’ Turned Babyface

NGL...As great of a character as he was as a heel, the dude would've been so over with the crowd as a babyface.

Ilja and JD having a random banger on Smackdown. All the midcard titles should be open challenge going forward. (Obviously once Cena gets the IC belt taken off of him)

JD has bangers with everyone. Dude’s an incredible professional wrestler.

Becky has turned up the (Redacted to avoid the forum politics policy)-ness to eleven and she’s absolutely killing it lol

Impact the one show I don’t have a legal way to watch but uhh did they have to fill time because a match ran short or something?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Am I understanding the situation correctly? WWE finally produced a Mania promo featuring the women, and they somehow neglected to include the Raw Women's Champion in it?

Yet another intense nothing burger of a PLE but at least it birthed what is sure to become a meme for the next decade

Strangely it appears right now I can watch it on the ESPN app under "@espn" which I've never seen there before - and it's the only WWE content available to me - right next to it is unlimited and it takes me to a sub page. It's 1:30 question if it will be there later or if I should just go for it?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't know why it's letting me watch on the app, but I'm watching it... It won't let me watch from my Roku TV.. Or so it thinks; shout out to Smart Screen.

I am actually a Jey Uso fan, unlike the rest of you, but him stopping what he was doing to YEET it up at the top of the cage in the middle of War Games has got to be one of the Top 5 dumbest things I've ever seen happen in a wrestling match.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

The Blood and Guts matches AEW puts on are a bit much but WWE has somehow managed to suck all the fun out of War Games (granted WCW also did this by the end too), but compared to some of those NXT War Games when they brought it back, this just felt like been there done that.

Somewhat also inclined to blame ESPN but I don't know why. This is the only WWE programming I've watched since they took over the PLEs but the reviews have all been subpar and it seems that the live viewing was a nightmare for some yesterday as well.

Also this is an old question, but the library is completely broken up and there is no single archive for the Bruno through PG era any longer is there? Black and Gold NXT also pretty much youtube?

Been burned far too many times to trust this but them having Nattie be Maxxine’s Yoda (until the inevitable heel turn) is the first time they’ve booked her right in a decade? Two decades?

When did Beth retire?
