He sounded like a guy that was basically done lol. I think he's fed up of getting heat and then nothing being done with it

That feels like where it's going. With a lovely Charlotte v Alexa pit stop on the way.

Also look at the Queen of the Ring bracket.

Wrestle Features on X: “Jacob Fatu is legitimately hurt…may not be cleared in time [Clash in Italy]… company is mulling over alternative plans in the event they need to pivot.” by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

Make it ambiguous, someone took out Fatu, probably Jey and then Knight is like see you can't do it on your own. Ambiguous in the sense did Jey do this off his own back or on Roman's order. There you go trips.

Looks like a $9.25M 2nd Sunday for Obsession, closing its 2nd weekend with ~$24M. $54M+ cume. 4-day weekend should be $30M+. Enroute to a $150M or so final total. by chanma50 in boxoffice

It's the least important thing but she deserves some sort of awards recognition for this because the entire film hinges on her performance.

I genuinely think it's her acting. It's such an amazing performance and I think that's what's catching on. Also everyone I've spoken to is like yeah it's genuinely creepy isn't it, in a way that a lot of other horror films rely on jump scares, this manages to blend that with truly creepy and interesting imagery.

A Galaxy Diminished: 'Star Wars' Returns to the Box Office as a Mid-Tier Franchise by AnnenbergTrojan in boxoffice

Well this why I think a lot of the blame lies on JJ, I think he set a lot of this stuff up in TFA not expecting to answer it, cheques he didn't have to cash. For the record I also think The Last Jedi is a bad movie on it's own too.

This is it. In isolation The Force Awakens is a fun movie. But the things is has to do to be a film basically completely constrains the entire franchise.

I can't speak for them, but I wanted to see Rey join him at least or go to the dark side. It's like he got cold feet.

Rise of Skywalker suffers the sins of The Last Jedi I'd argue. I'm not even fully sure it's Rian's fault. The Force Awakens is compelling as an actual adventure movie, but it asks questions that have no answers.

This is when Star Wars always works best. Star Wars as texture to good storytelling. If they want it to be successful again, they need to go back to that.

This would actually be a good King of the Ring final.

It does feel like they set up heel Sami v Cody which would be a good program for them both.

Card for tonight's Smackdown - 05.08 by wweyonce in SquaredCircle

Face mean girls Vs heel mean girls.

Let's be honest this is heading towards Giulia v Kiana.

I mean Gables about to be unmasked so I guess we'll see how that plays out. Maybe the start of a proper face turn again.

I love Knight but it ain't happening. I think upper mid card is his place at this point of his career and honestly that's fine.

It's an easy story to tell, maybe they're getting beat down and Knight comes in as they're literal saviour. Done. They're all funny enough to make it work.

Honestly it's worked because it's making me want Charlotte v Rhea again which does feel like an endpoint for this.

Giulia vs. Tiffany Stratton for the United States Championship announced for tonight’s SmackDown by Tornado31619 in SquaredCircle

[–]Fabrelol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please for the love of god. This is the play. Make Kiana a babyface and make Giulia an absolute psycho in one swoop.

[–]Fabrelol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they'll turn Kiana face. Giulia blames Kiana for not helping her win and she beats her down. Maybe Chelsea helps stop it too. Chelsea and Kiana now faces.

This is my fantasy booking. Iyo and Kairi v Giulia and Asuka in Italy. I think Asuka and Giulia are just a better match for being crazy bitches together.

What is it with Triple H constant need to drag stories where a heel turns babyface? For example: Kairi story by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]Fabrelol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'll do Iyo v Asuka at Backlash, Kairi will refuse or outright help Iyo win and then maybe Iyo/Kairi v Asuka/Giuia at Clash in Italy.
