The only thing that bugs me is that they couldn't help themselves from acting like Perkins had an underdog narrative going the whole time, and he just didn't. The story works with that final four, but it's irritating they pretended he had these big shocking upset wins over Gargano and Swann. Swann, no, but I can see why Gargano could be seen as an "upset"; he's a Regular Midcard NXT guy plus the guy who was the John Cena (or Roman Reigns, pick one) of EVOLVE/DGUSA for years. I was watching the tag match again and noticed Noam Dar slaps his thighs even when he takes strikes as well. I hope the children aren't watching because this thigh slapping is clearly out of control. Have you seen Noam Dar's thighs? Who wouldn't want to slap them?

I can't believe NXT is reusing the "Mike Bennett ruins Destination X with interference" gimmick with a tenth the star power. Such creatively bankrupt, bush league bullshit. I don't want to live in a world where Samoa Joe has a tenth the star power of Mike Bennett.

I hate how the most weird, random stuff gets over sometimes. Why? Like, don't mean that in a confrontational way or anything -- I just honestly don't get it. Fun dude entertained people, everybody wins. What's to hate about it? I feel like we (by "we" I mean the general wrestling fanbase) just up and decided he was a "fun dude" and "entertained people" ironically rather than him actually connecting with any type of presence or talent. Hell, it feels more like we're making fun of him.

He better not go to NXT just to team up with Roode and ruin Roode's singles potential in there. NXT has made it so Bobby Roode's gimmick is literally just his entrance music. If Roode AND Storm came out to Glorious, people probably aren't going to care.

Bobby Roode is such an interesting study right now. I can't think of anyone that's gotten this over based almost entirely on their entrance music. Fandango. Fandango did some pretty neat character work though. Bobby Roode's gimmick is literally his entrance music.

I'm in on streaming some Nelly. Even his terrible Suite/Sweat CDs brought me a lot of laughs back in the day from cracking on him with my friends. I don't know how many times me and my buddy mocked Tim McGraw's portion of that "Over and Over Again" song. The outrage on the first page is also good for a few laughs. Granted the "you owe him" line from the author was dumb, but acting like helping out a celebrity in financial trouble is some kind of insane deed... I don't know what to tell you. I'm streaming Spotify with the sound off while I'm doing other things... I'm hardly breaking my back here. Aww, Sweat/Suit was my favorite Nelly album(s).

Yes, Owens does have a problem with tearing people down. BUT if you think less of a wrestler because Owens LOLSAVAGE'd them, then you weren't fan of that wrestler in the first place.

Swagger I like, he was misused BADLY around the time he first won the World title and never really recovered. He fully recovered with the start of his Mania 29 push, but then got busted for weed (which some say wasn't his fault, if anyone can point out clearer proof of that please do) and then stayed in the weird limbo of over-ish guys that nothing happens with. I do wonder why he doesn't get more flack for derailing pushes with how he's legit hurt guys. Like, it's weird Bad News Barrett got labeled as "injury prone" when he'd really only been injured twice, neither of which was in any way his fault. The derailing pushes part isnt his fault. He hurt a few guys, and some people get hurt, hut anything that happens afterwards is on the company and falls squarely on their heads. Swagger didn't make Barrett lose to everyone while being the (default) Intercontinental Champion, and he didn't make Barrett feud with R-Truth over a plunger.

Basically. The US title was the US Heavyweight Championship in NWA/JCP somewhat a relic of a glorious era. But the US as the Beat the Shit out of the other guy and survive title? When we are getting Tomasso vs. Rusev? I'm deeply amused by the idea of the United States title becoming a Japanese Strong Style division. Make it happen. American Strong Style?

So if we were to tier list it. Jeff is more important than his own tramautized wife Vanguard 1 is more important than his traumatized wife No wait I get it why Reby is that far down the list...I mean those matches with Shelly Martienez yikes. Rebecca, here's the pecking order. It's you, the dirt, the worms inside the dirt, Brother Nero, Señor Benjamin, King Maxel, Vanguard 1, and Broken Matt Hardy

I The way people keep bringing up Strowman it's like they want him to squash the Cruiserweights. I think Braun is done with squashing people since they shifted the jobbers to Bo.

I respectfully disagree. If people are gonna rag on Corbin and Mojo for not looking like athletes and having guts, the inverse can apply. Sabre literally has no muscle on him, he looks like someone you'd see making his debut at a small indy show before his coach has got him going to the gym properly. People rag on Mojo (unfairly) for being Mojo and Corbin's problem, ripped physique or not, is that he doesn't appear to be all that big for a big man wrestler (just really tall). Sabre's slender build suits his wrestling style. The way he moves around in the ring when he's applying his various holds is his hook and if he got bulkier it would make him less mobile.

I'll never understand when he returned from injury why they ditched the character that he had, made him a jobber and made him part of the Social Outcasts. Why does it always seem like the WWE punish people from being injured? He came in as a successful heel that hardly lost to anybody, had a character that worked. But then they gave up on him. Bo fell into his rightful spot on the card; most of his heat was built on being obviously pushed above his station despite lack of talent and most of his victories were over people Creative didn't care about. Even against a guy like Swagger who was buried ten times over, Bo still looked out of his element
