    What are you talking about? That is how they booked Rollins, a "backstabbing long-haired, bearded strategist." Strategist as in he's a conniving guy who does what is best for his own self interest. He's the ideal wrestler and everything Triple H would want to be today. Triple H's character always went on about how

    1) Roman Reigns vs Daniel Bryan at Fast Lane. A hard hitting match that told a different story then you'd expect, as the 5'8" wrestler played the dominant veteran, wrestling a really gritty style that overwhelmed Roman.

    Wonder Woman doesnt have the negative connotation that Superman has in terms of tropes.

    Well the idea behind the corporate champion is that he's the ideal wrestler. That's not the Miz. The Authority picking Miz, especially with his B-List movie star gimmick, doesnt fit with their characters. Triple H picks guys that are like him. Sheamus and Triple H were friends which is why Triple H worked with him at

    The Miz doesnt have the physicality that made Orton, Rollins, and Sheamus all work. All three of those guys look they were built in a factory of what makes a perfect wrestler. I love the Miz, but he's a doughy annoying guy with a relatively weak offense.

    The Miz TV segment was fun. Two New Day matches was cool. But that mic exchange between Alberto and Cena was great. It was about two different ideologies about how a a US Champion should act. Cena and Alberto both had the right amount of intensity and passion with each of their words, and it separated them from the

    Cena is the last man standing of a generation. Orton? Injured. Batista? Basically retired and making movies. CM Punk? Retired. Daniel Bryan? Injured. Miz? Jobber. Edge? Retired. Brock Lesnar? Only wrestles for a lot of money. Jeff Hardy? Injured and in TNA.

    You are correct:
    "Before anyone asks again. WWE Slammy Awards are legit winners. As publicly traded company WWE could not solicit votes & then work finishes."

    Nikki just capped off the longest Divas title reign of all time and also has a huge audience of fans from Total Divas. The "Bella Army" is quite big. The Bellas have built their brand over the last few years with the company, and it shows.

    After all the "I'm accepting this award on behalf of _____," they should
    go back to fixing these awards instead of fans voting. This is pro wrestling. There is a reason they go with predetermined outcomes. The multiple people who didnt show up or record something to accept the award really killed the crowd. If the

    I loved this film, and even though I saw all 6 films growing up, I never considered myself a big Star Wars. But there is something about this film that has converted to wanting to learn and grow in my understanding of the series. It shared many similar elements to A New Hope, my favorite of the original triology, but

    Friendship goes beyond hanging out in a life and death scenarios. A soldier working with another soldier randomly on a mission would have never met had their work not brought them together. But they trust each other more than anyone else because of that shared experience. That's a different kind of friendship than

    A close work friendship incorrectly described the nature of being an Avenger. They are soldiers fighting together, learning from each other. There is a friendship that comes from fighting together in close quarters. It's not a "hey do you want hang out this weekend" friendship; it's a "risking our lives together in

    Suicide Squad over Cap 3 is crazy/

    KO looks pissed off and deadly after losing his IC Title, as he powerbombed Dean and Dolph. A good look for KO following his loss. But Ambrose should be a good champ for the time being, and the crowd loves him.

    I wasnt surprised. If you've been watching the show since Survivor Series (and even beforethat), Roman has earned the audience more and more each week. It was a given that if he got enough of the crowd behind him, the Philly crowd would follow. It has nothing to do with a change in smarkdom. It has everything to do

    Do we need to bring up Seth Rollins at every show for the next 8 or so months. He's great but injured. Deal with it. There was nothing about this show that revolved around him. No point in bringing him up.

    "for tarnishing his honorable legacy and reputation"

    I think structurally, that might be the best Brooklyn Nine-Nine episode. Just perfect, absolutely. Hilarious, great character moments, and Boyle got to be a badass and still ruined. I loved how selfless Jake was in turning himself into allow Boyle to go free. Great development for Terry.
