I’m glad that despite her recent career setbacks, she can still find some humour in injuring her coworkers…

RAW's entire current booking process in a nuteggshell:

How come none of these idiot fans try this on Brock Lesnar or Matt Riddle? Lesnar? No idea. Riddle? His stinky feet keep them at a distance.

I guess I must have missed the part where the Snyder cut made all that money the cultists promised it would. But Ayer doesn't even have the small feral support that movie had.
If Ayer has to make an argument for supporting his vision, at least the creative or artistic spin would feel sincere.

By the way, don’t go to Reddit to discuss this one. Had to have a debate with someone about this guy likely being mentally disabled where they brought up Hitler and The Big Lie to prove why a sound minded person could get tricked. Really. Ah, don't ever change, Reddit.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn wrestling the returning Daniel Bryan and.... Shane McMacmahon.
Two of those three names are pretty good choices, and the other one seriously drags it all down.

The WWE Title today feels like the Intercontinental Title of like... the mid 90's It's only "equal" to the Universal Title in WWE-speak. It's obviously tier 2 by the actions. Anywho, if your name ain't Roman you don't matter. Add another casualty to the massive evergrowing list. It's the B-Show title issue. Even when there's supposedly two top titles, one is always booked below the other, often correlating to whichever belt isn't on the main drawing show, which was previously RAW, and currently SmackDown.

Personally, I think Bobby Fish is actually a total Jerk.

A silver lining take: the best thing you can say about Swerve's WWE run is that he finally nailed down a great character, which was his biggest weakness prior to Hit Row debuting. He'll definitely get picked up by someone.

Again, who could give a shit about these shows when the characters in them are apparently so interchangeable??? I've been saying that. How can you possibly get invested in someone when they could be kicked out after like a month... and one match? How could you possibly write a show where any character could just flat out be removed for absolutely no reason without warning. Because they're more concerned with fans caring about the brand than any one character. Which begs the question of how can anyone care about a show that doesn't even care about it's own performers.

That's a rough list to take in.
And who the f*** did Hit Row piss off?

The infamous Dark Order beat down that closed the final Dynamite of 2019.
And we're all better off for it.

Well, at least WWE knows what viewers need to make it through their weekly TV shows at this point... I feel like this would only further help sleep in becoming bigger competition for them.

But that's less of an argument for two world belts, and more of a critique of bad writing. Fact is WWE typically can't write angles for shit for the majority of their roster if they don't have some belt McGuffin attached to the feud. That's why there's two world titles. It makes no sense, but it's the crutch they rely on. But it circles back around to, if they had one title belt, would that make the writing suddenly better? It's a two pronged result, either it forces them to actually work more varied storytelling into their various shows, or things just stay equally stagnant. Looking at the recent history of this company, which way are we all leaning? Seems pretty obvious to me, but at the same time, the double belt crutch definitely doesn't help their creative vision; that is if they even have any left.

I'll never understand the logic of only wanting one top title. If you're doing a brand split then the brands should be completely separate with all of their own stuff, otherwise the whole endeavor is just pointlessly dividing the roster. Ideally the brand split should come with both shows being completely kept separate from each other with their own look and feel, but WWE's too shit to actually do that so we get this wishy-washy, "I guess Roman's on this week's Raw for no reason," stuff and both shows pretty much just feeling the same as each other besides length-wise. Every time someone talks about have one world belt I bring this up. Remember Triple H’s reign of terror? It was only on RAW but, if there was only one belt we would have to endure it on RAW and Smackdown. And someone like Eddie Guerrero wouldn't have touched the world belt.

It's basically been this way ever since they tripped into the Daniel Bryan push, and suddenly they had to try convincing themselves that their booking him into the ground was what actually caused him to become so popular. So they try to capture that same energy because they don't seem to know what to do otherwise, and we get Roman Reigns choking against Brock Lesnar multiple times, and all the other recent examples.
They don't know how to make genuine superstars anymore, and you can tell they don't understand what the problem is. That, or they just don't want to admit what the problem is, since that would require some actual critical introspection from the top level down. It's easier to just coast on sweetheart TV deals than actually work on producing good content. I mean, the salad days last forever, right?

I don't rate it as high as All Out, but it was still really god and just a super cathartic show.
