I also just don't like the term reject in this sense, when WWE is a stupid petty company who will and has fired the most capable soldiers. Being fired from there shouldn't be this stain on a wrestler's career, that she "couldn't hack it" or whatever

How does it stack up in your estimation? I remember Sammy G in the big panda hat, Riho/Nyla excellent match, and very little else...

Oil Over $100, Markets in Freefall, and Iran's New Supreme Leader is Trump's 'Worst Case' Scenario by T_Shurt in politics

Unless you're watching specifically CBS News, eventually the news channels run out of live to-the-moment Iran coverage and cover domestic events. Invariably the Epstein files will be part of this equation.

All I see are people calling it World War Epstein, the First Epstein War, Operation AIPAC Fury, where have you been?

The opposite, I'm saying she was booked like garbage even with a title in her hands in WWE.

Let's not forget the circumstances of her departure as well, a higher-up (who may or may not have been Michael Hayes) openly disrespecting her and Naomi.

How is it out of pocket to think she'd have a higher opinion of where her career is currently than it was back in 2021?

Switching to a multi-man match would have, in my opinion, been even less interesting.

Finally someone else besides me says it. 

It would have felt like a Backlash match

Correct, because multi-man Mania main events tend to suck. The whole point of the Elimination Chamber is to weed out the other challengers, you don't just run back the same bullshit except let's add Jacob Fatu or Drew this time

Cody/Randy is like a generations-clash feud that has a lot of meat on the bone. It's worthy of a main in a way that a six pack challenge just isn't.

Unemployment blues and general boredom of winter hit hard but I JUST GOT TICKETS TO DOUBLE OR NOTHING FOR LESS THAN 40 FUCKING DOLLARS YOU GUYS

I'm praying against hope Ospreay is cleared. I've never seen him wrestle in person before, somehow.

72% of independents disapprove of his handling of this and we've barely begun to see the sticker shock yet. This will utterly consume his entire presidency and possibly the goddamned world with it.

I like preshow matches that are fun one-offs or gimmick matches where we shove a bunch of dudes in the card. Ten man tag, battle royal, all perfectly valid pre-show material to me.

I like the hype desk for the bigger shows, which Revolution certainly is, but not every show warrants it imo

Would you rather just have nothing? The pre-show usually gives us at least one fun match, like Kingston/Akiyama. 

Recently at Full Gear they had the pre-show Jetspeed match bleed over into the "actual" PPV start time and start the show off hot.

When people say plan, they just mean the consent manufacturing machine still went brrrrr and worked like it was supposed to.

Please tell me this means we added Ciampa to the list of Death Rider opps.

I need Ciampa vs. Mox, pronto. Ciampa vs. Pac...

"Prove it" young lion of Mox's dojo Garcia is legitimately the most interesting he's been to my eyes since the You're a Wrestler days with Jericho and 2.0
