Was Mace/Dio just not progressing in NXT in 2019? Why take a tall guy who is a legit athlete (fringe NFLer) with a cool look and try to make him a commentator, when you have actual broadcasters and/or actual experienced wrestlers? It was one of Heyman's ideas for Raw. He wanted the show to go/look younger and the easiest way was to start with the announce team. He'd been a fan of Vic's for years and thought Dio had a great look and voice so wanted him on commentary. Vince fought back and forced Lawler on the team because he wanted someone that the fans knew on so they knew it was Raw. I think that caused Heyman to book a lot of the dumber things since he didn't have complete control as promised.

Bayley before she turned proper heel wad amazing. Loved the tweener Role Model. Can't remember who she beat but she successfully defended her title by cheating, took the title and then bolted straight to the back. Didn't stop to pose but just kept running. That was at Clash of Champions, where she beat Charlotte (in her hometown even) in 3 minutes and then sprinted to the back.

Remember when Shelton was looking around the room 2019? I remember people on another forum thought this was some deep cryptic thing hinting that he was going to join Brock or something. When in reality, WWE just wanted to make branded reaction gifs.

Sadly we didn't listen Everyone that hated 2K20 didn't realize, WWE 2K20 was a metaphor, 2K knew what was coming, especially with the game crashing on January 1st 2020, they were warning us, but people didn't listen, and 2K were right, and because of that, WWE 2K20 retconned into one of the most genius games of all time

Honestly, I think 2019 might be the worst year of the 2010's.

This was also the go-home segment for the women’s title match as well (not counting Becky cutting a promo on Smackdown).

Just realized Undertaker vs Goldberg was 2019 as well, which surprised me as it seems to exist outside time and space and in its own little pocket universe of ill-advised marquee matches for blood money.

Is it true that around the time of Crown Jewel that year (which was a major step up from the previous year) that the Crown Prince wanted Hogan and Flair in the ring? Thankfully that didn't happen. At least here is a highlight from that year. Only to burned the following week. apparently the 2K devs were at the launch event next door talking about what a rough time they'd had getting the Bayley Buddies to work properly, and then she went and smashed them on screen.

I thought this was disgusting.
However, for some reason I thought Miz's daughter's reaction, along with Miz's reaction was kind of funny despite how creepy this segment was.

Bayley destroying her Bayley Buddies was the worst night of Byron Saxton's life. Maybe Bret Hart's too.
