Having managed to avoid most of this year at the time I'm stunned at how much Shorty G feels like it was gonna be a gay character but then WWE was just like wait no you're proud of being short f*** idk

Shorty G would've been a great heel gimmick.

What about that fresh looking Smackdown set that didn't last long at all?

I totally forgot this happened: Yeah, so had I. Dammit, I'm gonna have to hit my head on the wall to forget it again.

What would be the peak of 2019? Survivor Series & Wargames maybe? That was a great weekend helped out by NXT being involved. Even if Vince did try to ruin Walter early. As much as the Brock v Seth stuff was a bit crap the main event of Summerslam was pretty excellent. Until WWE decided to unleash the Fiend on Seth and ruin his face run. His heel stuff towards the end of the year was pretty decent though. And that wasn’t even the worst Wyatt crime that year, you think he ruined Seth’s face run, look what he did to Miz. They had Miz lose, not to the Fiend, but to Firefly Funhouse Wyatt. That shit was inexcusable.

I totally forgot this happened: Roman Reigns feuding with Shane McMahon is a thing that I found out took up multiple months last night and I'm not happy

Chad Gable not only surviving this but thriving afterwards is genuinely superhuman It really does feel like a gimmick they give someone so they can release them when it doesn't work. It never made sense to me that Corbin just changed his name. There is no reason for that to have been official.

Roman's booking was really weird that year. It's almost unfathomable that this was just a year before the Tribal Chief. I guess they were taking it easy on him after his return from leukemia but it was still weird how him v Bryan was like the top story on Smackdown at the time but they didn't have a match at Summerslam. Roman’s 2019 ended with him getting dog food dumped all over him and getting pinned by Baron Corbin on PPV (the last time he ever ate a pin before MiTB 2023), which is f***ing wild to think about in retrospect.

Sin Cara got a valet, Botchetta She showed up, lost her first match, and basically was never seen again.

Remember when the actual main event of a ppv was Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch v Baron Corbin & Lacey Evans? Dark times. Wasn't this the match that he hit End of Days on Becky Lynch? Which is still the coolest shit he's ever done.

Outside Shane McMahon, I think pretty much everyone had booking that made them look awful circa 2019 in one fashion or another.

That said, Miz as a face versus heel Shane wasn’t half bad… but having him get his ass kicked at every match kinda killed his fortunes as a face.

Getting his shit kicked in by a dude pushing 50 who looked like he was about to go into cardiac arrest seconds after the bell rang definately killed The Miz as a face.
