Tye's gotta be number 10, right? It's too perfect.

I'm also a Vaudevillains fan (where are the other two guys?) because their gimmick is just so… weird in today's wrestling. I felt like they were getting a decent push when they were setting up a feud with the New Day last year, but then… backstage stuff happened.
It's frustrating how often WWE strays from this simple motivation. Sure, there can (and should!) be other reasons for two people to fight, but "wanting the belts" should be the default.
Becky vs Evil Emma would be fantastic.
WHERE'S EMMA?
Ugh, man that was shitty.
Man that'd be amazing. The "ten" chants are going to get very old very quickly, but I can't help but grin at how over the guy has got without much in the way of a push.
Totally agree. I get sick of fans complaining about guys being "buried" or "jobbed out" when they lose any match. There are plenty of ways to make the losers of a match still look strong.
I haven't watched Holy Foley! (only on the WWE Network!) but I'm pretty sure Noelle is GREEEEEN as hell and will not be debuting any time soon.
I've noticed Rollins doing it from time to time, but I think when it's Ambrose it grates more because he's doing all that other stupid rebound stuff as well.
Haha, maybe, but people do tend to get annoyed when you shit on something they enjoy for no reason.
Kyle's glasses are definitely more rosey than LaToya's, but in either case I think you've got to look for the positives when reviewing weekly WWE programming or you will go insane.
What a weird idea. Okay, man. Good luck out there getting angry about stuff you're not interested in.
This did seem a lot more like simple match recapping and a step down from the AV Club's usual thoughtful analysis. LaToya and Kyle focus much more on the week to week storytelling in the WWE shows, but I guess that's trickier for one-off stuff like this.
Why don't you enlighten us about what your little tantrum is in aid of then, Mr. Wrestling Coverage wander-in guy?
You're not giving the article an F, you're… ehh you know what? Never mind. Run along now and go enjoy your "proper" shows.
I feel sure Goldy used the name at some point but I can't remember exactly. Seems too obvious not to have been picked up on earlier than this, right?
Love that powerbomb. Bliss definitely needs a few impact moves like that, because a lot of her offence is heelish strikes, holds, and basic slams to the mat. Which is all fine for an arrogant heel, but when Becky's suplexing her around the ring, she needs to be able to come back with something similarly exciting and…
I just saw it described elsewhere as Young Adult lit for 40-year-olds, which is perfect.
Gotta agree with a lot of the criticism in the comments here. It's a light, breezy little read but the prose is very plain, the characters are flat, and the constant '80s references are just completely surface-level and lacking in insight (War Games is totally awesome, you guys!). The "romantic" sub-plot is…
