No but it would be nice if turns made sense.

Triple A 03-19-2018 08:51 PM

Watching Raw...

Feels like every Asuka WWE match just has her do some kicks for like 30 seconds, then get completely beat down in the ring for like 10 mins before finally winning

Impossible. All important interactions done by wrestlers are done in front of the cameras.

KIRA 03-19-2018 08:52 PM

Why does Vince insist on booking Asuka as a fight from underneath wrestler

Emperor Smeat 03-19-2018 08:53 PM

Asuka's potentially last match on RAW ends in a typical WWE anti-climatic fashion.

ClockShot 03-19-2018 08:53 PM

Why'd you pause, Nia?

Savio 03-19-2018 08:53 PM

Hope Rick and Negan become best friends with no explanation on the next episode of walking dead... If we believe in zombies we can believe in that too.

Maybe they will have a conversation off-camera

Standard WWE "Every babyface has to be an underdog!" despite that not being why Asuka has an undefeated streak... but it is a pretty succinct summation of the trap they fall into every time.

Roman Reigns clearly the anointed chosen one? UNDERDOG! WATCH HIM GET BEAT UP AND BE SURPRISED AT HIS COMEBACK!

John Cena beats everyone all the time as WWE Champion? UNDERDOG! MARVEL AS HE SOMEHOW OVERCOMES THE ODDS (odds were 1 to 1 in his favor)

They should 100% bring back James Ellsworth for this.

I don't understand the "Everything else is shitty so this can be shitty too" argument.

Sure. But that one wasn't IMPORTANT. Nobody seemed to care when Dana Brooke suddenly turned face and joined Titus Worldwide. Or when Titus Worldwide suddenly turned face.

There was no reason to waste TV time explaining a Mickie James heel turn when you hardly noticed she was there in the first place. I've seen heel turns as simple as someone showing up with a "new attitude". The important thing is that she's in a more prominent role now, so good for her. And for us, if she's going to keep dressing like that.

Ellsworth has a dream match challenging Gillberg for some Indy Championship.

in 2018 Gillberg has a championship.

Outside of a couple of quick squashes, that's pretty much been the case with Asuka's handling on RAW.

Her streak is like Taker's Mania streak where WWE lucked into it happening and then only focusing on the streak instead of making her as the women's division version of the "Final Boss" like Lesnar.

I would agree if you didn't have 3+ hours to fill, they often show multiple replays so it's not like they don't have time.

She turned face before Titus Worldwide vs. Charlotte.

Titus O'Neil face turn and Titus Worldwide thing was very weird as well, but no one cares as much because no one really cares about Titus O'Neil.

No you don't, Braun.

You got this.

Dark One 03-19-2018 09:02 PM

The fact that "Get These Hands!" is a chant now is the biggest testament to how over Braun is that there could ever be.

KIRA 03-19-2018 09:02 PM

Braun is so over

Dark One 03-19-2018 09:03 PM

Braun pulling the reverse Rousey and trying to cram the microphone inside of his mouth.

I'm most definitely not worried about Mickie's alignment. Like, at all. If Roman suddenly started Superman punching kids, they'd definitely have to say SOMETHING. At least they mentioned it being weird on commentary as opposed to acting like nothing happened.

Emperor Smeat 03-19-2018 09:04 PM

Ummmm Ceasro

ClockShot 03-19-2018 09:04 PM

Oops.

I can't wait to see Braun wearing both titles
