Charlotte has the potential to be the greatest heel in the history of the business. Full stop. She definitely wouldn’t be able to do that with a broken neck. I’m sure she’s glad to be going over to Smackdown, so she won’t have to deal with Nia for the next year or so.
They brought Nia up too soon from NXT. I understand the reason she was brought up because of needing bodies for the brand split, but goddamn that was an ugly showing last night. On the other hand, I think we witnessed Bigass McStrongman’s 3:16 moment last night.
A match where one person is picked to beat another person soundly to make them look strong. They can be against enhancement talent (jobbers ie: random locals no-name wrestlers). Or, they can be against name talent. Nia squashed Charlotte to make her look strong.
Was I supposed to read this in the voice of the Macho Man Randy Savage, because I did. Maybe the Macho King would have been more appropriate.

Rebuttal: When you say, “Fuck KU.” we have to fantasize that it’s Mizzou saying it to us to get really worked up about it.
This assumes that Brock can follow logic, which seems to disappear from the motivations of wrestlers whenever the Kayfabe Contrivance Lever is pulled.
That's the scenario I can see them doing very easily. Goldberg squashes Owens (thereby weakening current and future talent in favor of short-term part-time pop), and KO gets pissed at Cool Dad for not having his back. Super Best Canadian Friends break up and feud for the American title at KO Mania.
That's what I was fantasy booking, so I hope that creative has the sense to do that. Kevin Steen as WWE champion at Wrestlemania. What a time to be alive.
I'm optimistic for the build to Wrestlemania for Smackdown, because I there are several situations where I can see different people holding the belt, and Orton challenging them in the main event.
Obligatory Dune Cat post.
They are different types of stories. Dune is amazing, because of the philosophy/history/ecology/religion + the ragtag bunch of heroes overthrowing the evil empire story. The subsequent books are about what happens after the revolution, and what are the ramifications of setting a bunch of fanatics on a cross galaxy…
I made these for Women’s March Topeka, which I attended with Ms. JHawke and Little JHawke.
You know, the Chiefs should really give Brody Croyle a shot.
I think it’s more the Industrial Hot-Take Complex about Alex Smith. The “is Alex Smith a game manager” question is reaching “is Joe Flacco elite” proportions.
Trent Dilfer has a ring, so literally anything can happen.
(NFL Analyst trying to psych himself up for a hot take) “You know, when the Chief’s defense gets healthy and Maclin gets back the Chiefs are going to be dangerous in the playo—who am I kidding? Their quarterback is Alex Smith. The Chiefs sit on a throne of lies.”
