Honestly, I think especially after tonight that Asuka should have won on Sunday. Imagine her undefeated streak ending due to these kind of shenanigans from Carmella. The heel heat would have been crazy. Yeah, if they were going to have Asuka lose and Carmella cash in, they should have killed two birds with one stone and gotten some good heat out of it. Yeah, that's where I thought this was going... but I guess that makes too much sense. Asuka isn't hurt by it at all as it was done in such a bullshit manner. Carmella gets to gloat forever that she ended the streak, and the crowd boos her as she talks up how great she is that she could do such a hard accomplishment that no one else could.

If i hadn't already known what happens I would have seriously thought they were setting her up to fail with Charlotte doing a roll up or something. That was ridiculous though. The first 3 or 4 times, okay, she's tried before, it's reasonable. After that? F*** off!

Carmella's shrieking was hilarious and a highlight, so it was okay with me. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

On the flipside at least in the way it really happen Asuka can distance herself from the streak completely and start anew. If Carmella just cashed in on her it might not have the same finality to it if you get me.

I loved this - it really built up the suspense and led to some doubt about whether the cash in was going to happen/if it was going to be successful.
A nice little touch

I think the refs need to be more aware of how the MITB briefcase works. seems like they always take forever to figure out that the person handing them the MITB briefcase to cash in on their guaranteed title shot, is indeed attempting to cash in at that time. the refs always seem utterly baffled when someone tries it.
I also second the idea that lil naitch should have been the stalling ref- to be fair to flair of course.

If Carmella just cashed in on her it might not have the same finality to it if you get me. Plus, no matter who she lost to, the negativity on this board would arguably still be the same. Imagine if instead she lost it here? Or lost it to Ronda. Or even Ember since I know some don’t really like her all that much. You just can’t please everyone, plus I’d rather her lose to Charlotte than Ronda honestly.

Are we pretending in this thread theat the really long bit with the briefcase wasn't intentional?

Chioda deserves praise, because he was so effective at being a douche, it even made me mad.

I love Peyton and Billie, but they aren't exactly the kind of girls that should be totally beating down Asuka like that. Plus Asuka would have had a 2 day reign as champion and that wouldn't have made people very happy. Now maybe Charlotte moves back to Raw and Asuka goes to Smackdown, you can do something with Carmella doing everything to avoid Asuka and make the assault she'll face that much sweeter.

Could someone give the girl something else to wear rather than those stool sample tights? Fugly.

Right now somewhere, somebody is really confused because Mike Chioda is still asking them repeatedly if they're sure.
