Rey Mysterio

“Bálor is at his best when playing the heel.”

It was a super-tough break for him, on the level of anything Itami got snakebit by. It was clear giving him the belt out of the chute that they had big things for him, but all that time off basically cost him that creative momentum and he came back as Just A Guy like most of the roster.

The Fiend is like, the perfect example of WWE’s creative process.

The thing about The Demon on the main roster is that Vince (and I feel it’s mostly Vince then didn’t get this) thought it was just another spooky supernatural thing. No one seemed to be able to get across to Vince that the Demon was essentially a thing Finn used to psyche himself up and take himself to the next level,…

Balor i think was the 1st ever Universal Champion.

The way they treated Kofi during and after that match proved my worst feelings about Smackdown on Fox - it was going to be more about getting mentioned on ESPN than being a good wrestling show for their long-time fans.

HHH hasn't taken over yet, actually

FOX used to be the primary location to watch UFC, so much of their audience would know Velazquez. That’s it. That is why WWE trashed Kofi. They wanted to try and capture the audience that watched UFC, many of whom fall into the “wrestling is fake” camp, at the risk of cannibalizing the fans who actually watch the…

The fans would have gone nuts when Brock killed Corbin too. 

Not joking when I thought they’d give King Corbin the ultimate heel rub by having him take the strap off Kofi, only to lose it immediately to Bork.

The ref calling for the bell in a no-disqualification match is insane, plain and simple.

Kofi’s loss was one of the most angering things I’ve seen in WWE. Then they go and do Hell in a Cell like that. I don’t even know what to say, I’m not surprised, WWE’s been sloping downwards forever. WWE trying nowadays is probably worse than when they’re lazily complacent. They have no idea how to build anyone and…

I’ve been a long time WWE guy (Probably 35 years or so) and AEW may have officially won me over. Aside from Chris Jericho showing his age (and relying on increasingly not funny schtick), and majority of the talent being flippy high spot folks, I have vastly enjoyed the first two Dynamite shows after having no exposure…

AEW, for their part, has been by no means perfect in their first two weeks, but they’ve had some fantastic bouts and great character builds in a short timeframe. I attended their Boston Dynamite show on Wednesday, and it was a solid B+ for the night. The opening and closing televised matches were as good as anything…

If I had to guess, I would imagine the answer to “what the hell is the WWE even doing right now” is “being run by a senile septuagenarian racist”, but that’s me.
