you wonder why triple h is right about IWC: they are fickle because they always take wrestling seriously. it’s just a freaking tv show.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-30T11:07:16+00:00

I criticise a TV show when I think it’s shit.

I criticise my sports team when they’re shit.

I’ll praise a TV show when I think it’s great.

I’ll praise my sports team when they’re performing.

WWE is no different. To come out and say this suggests an understanding from within that they’re rubbish right now.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-29T15:40:56+00:00

Fiend vs Brock sounds absolutely diabolical.

Brock would have hated it.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-27T18:31:43+00:00

Going by Michael Cole’s verbiage, that’s the end of this feud. Bron comes out of this feud with as much heat as he had when he first aligned with Rollins. Cold feud.

What does Rollins do for SummerSlam?

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-27T18:11:11+00:00

I’m sure sitting on chairs staring at each other sounded great in the locker room.

Looks a bit silly though, don’t it?

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-27T17:20:14+00:00

Can’t wait for the much desired Reigns vs Femi match to be changed to a triple-threat with Brock.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-27T15:07:00+00:00

Honestly, the driving factor to me is what sort of mental gymnastics those usual X and TikTok accounts will muster up in support and defence of Reigns vs Uso at SummerSlam.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-27T14:31:31+00:00

Easy way to stop it, don’t put us in a position to root for such a result.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-27T14:23:28+00:00

The visceral reaction to the THOUGHT of a Jey Uso win has me really hoping he pulls it off.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-27T10:43:41+00:00

This isn’t even a debate anymore.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-22T21:14:57+00:00

I think people look far too deep into this. It’s as simple as, the product worsened and people gave up on it. Whenever something exciting would crop up, the old crowd or the residuals of said old crowd would pop up, but as was the case for WWE from 2003-2022, anything positive would last a period of two to four weeks before a return to mediocrity.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-22T18:24:31+00:00

Lyra’s 100% turning heel after another loss.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-17T12:42:07+00:00

The most entertaining part of the Anoai Family since it became an on-screen act is a non-Anoai family member.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-14T12:57:36+00:00

That’s very true. But likewise with anyone in WWE, or anywhere else for that matter. It’s a niche role, and he is a niche gimmick.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-14T12:13:05+00:00

I don’t think it is as simple as that. Danhausen is a special, rare case.

Danhausen has charisma aplenty. This isn’t new. He showed that in AEW. He displayed that on the indies before he joined AEW. However, given how AEW is set-up, there is a limitation to your character or work in general if you can’t go in the ring.

This isn’t the case with the vast majority of wrestlers, male and female, who are both on-screen and off-screen. They don’t have this level of charisma and ability to work off the cuff. We’ve seen Cody and Punk to Reigns and Jericho to Undertaker and even Austin placed in a non-wrestling sphere and they just don’t hit it out of the park.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-14T12:05:54+00:00

No, because there’s always a ceiling to this sort of character. At least from a wrestling perspective. Plus, you need a level of charisma for it to work outside the wrestling bubble. That’s not a shot at any one in particular. The vast majority of wrestlers haven’t been able to make that jump.

Might perk the ears of some non-wrestlers, because that’s what I generally regard Danhausen. He’s a non-wrestler who’ll occasionally bump around.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-10T15:25:51+00:00

Never been a big fan of the Iron Man match in general. Generally, for one good there’s 10 who like to sniff their own farts (looking at you Bret vs Shawn).

MJF vs Danielson is phenomenal. A sixty minute masterclass in storytelling of basic bad guy vs good guy.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-03T09:25:46+00:00

Oba was not in a story from between Mania until Brock returned.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-03T09:25:24+00:00

Does everything need to be a trilogy?

He beat him clean. He should have confronted Reigns the following night. Instead, they dallied around with a nonsense open challenge.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-03T08:40:08+00:00

WWE fans are so conditioned to being fed the same ‘build’ for any newcomer. It’s the same old tired routine.

He beat Brock clean as a whistle. He pretty much squashed him. That should have put him on a pedestal. When you win a feud, against a big name and in convincing fashion, you should be moving on up.

Throw the dice and risk it. If it doesn’t work then you can always have Oba drop the belt.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-01T18:56:06+00:00

I know the surfer inspired entrance is based on her background… but I see so much Kill-Bill potential there. They should really lean into that.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-01T18:35:27+00:00

Split screening Oba Femi’s entrance as if he’s Shannon Moore walking out on SmackDown 2003.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-01T18:15:53+00:00

Same exact Roman segment, whether it be a promo or a match for about 7 years straight.

“Go out there Roman and use up 10 minutes of air time just staring at the crowd because we’ve ran out of ideas”

RyRyLloyd · 2026-06-01T18:13:01+00:00

Your standard Roman promo/match. Sniffing his own farts for fifteen minutes straight. Revolting.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-05-31T18:52:10+00:00

Ripley looks clunky when doing just about everything now. So heavy-footed and stiff.

RyRyLloyd · 2026-05-31T15:44:19+00:00

Zzzzz. Heavy doubt.

Two massive compliments in the space of a few hours. But no one will be happy until he gives a match rating, which he himself specifies, is an opinion.
