"I forgot what I was gonna say"

Okay that cracked me up.

Legit botch or planned?

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Either works, because both character and actor are idiots.

[Chainsaw]

They're gonna turn this into a thing, god...damnit.

If it was anyone else, it probably goes down as a classic botch like Sid's

Because it's Matt Riddle, I can totally buy him being the type of guy who loses his train of thought

2012 in reverse. We've had the long competitive match now, so at Mania Sheamus can just go and win in 18 seconds.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Mans stumbled off so awkwardly and poor Asuka just had to be like “...ok!!” 🤣🤣 Whether it’s a f*** up or not, hilarious.

[A Platypus Rave]

as they seem to be leaning even harder into the obnoxious stoner stuff... my guess is it was planned

Nothing WWE loves more (aside from their love of heat segments) than running jokes into the ground.

I think it was planned. They barely do live pre-tapes anymore based on what we've heard over the years.

It's perfectly normal to be flustered in front of someone like Asuka. Call it "stage fright" or whatever.

I watched the segment online and his quick exchange with MVP on Raw Talk. Man I want to like the guy then I remember the shit in his personal life and I'm like, "Oh yeah...".

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

f*** Matt Riddle.

It could have been a blown take that they ended up thinking was really funny and used it.

[Johnny D]

I'm just shocked they haven't actually made him a Riddler-type character. Because that is exactly what they'd do.

Shocks me to the core.

I'd probably find his shtick amusing if it was just about anybody else.

He might end up pregnant.

If I was Riddle, I would be fearful of the glass ceiling RVD had under this character. Like if he just wants to collect paychecks fine, but at some point this US title run ends and then you're feuding with Mojo Rawley on Superstars. Stoner is cool but the guy has a legit UFC background.


I think live crowds are going to go nuts for this guy. He can have a Jeff Hardy type career arc. He's going to win MITB at some point (maybe this year). He's box office and electric. His promos need work and it shows to be seen how he can work a singles program (seriously). But this US title run is the company's litmus test of what his upside might be, and I hope he is taking is seriously.



Comedy upper card territory is where you want to be. Occasionally, you'll get your ass beat by the heels. But usually you're embarassing midcard idiots like Baron Corbin and Sammy Zayne.

What we've yet to see is that side that is deadly serious in the ring. Like Kurt Angle can do goofy comedy with the best, but he could f*** you up in the ring. I'm not sure Vince will ever do that with Riddle.
