Good lord, nothing ruins something faster than Nattie talking. I hope Shayna murders her.

I may have done something as dumb as what Ivar did to start that basketball game in gym class one time or so in either middle or high school.

Baszler/Natalya had a nice intensity to it. I dug it.

Edge v. Randy Orton in 2020 just may be the greatest wrestling match ever. We all agree, right?

Edge & Orton's promo segment was pretty good.
The faces Edge kept making made it look like he either completely forgot what was scripted for the segment after his promo or realized that wasn't a silent fart he just ripped. This week's RAW was a bit weird. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't that good either and felt more like something thrown together at the last minute instead of the post show for a PPV. |

It's crazy how many times WWE could turn the ship around but instead rams the iceberg, full speed instead.
I don't blame the writers there, I've chatted with a handful of former writers before and it sounds so frustrating. Just like any show, they plan things for months, create a 'story bible' just like any other tv series and Vince loves this and that and then throws it all out of the window the day something is supposed to start. Vince constantly wants things planned long-term and asks for it and then makes that job impossible to deliver. He creates an uneven show that's all over the place instead. |

The thing that surprised me the most when I read up on WWE's Creative process some time ago was that they've been hiring continuity managers for years like every other notable show does.
Nobody lasts long on the job because either WWE just quickly fires them or they flat out quit after quickly dealing with WWE's creative nonsense. |

The "Vince gets tired of tag teams" thing is a real thing too. He'll go thru phases where he doesn't understand why anyone isn't pitching tag team stories to him and then a few months later he'll talk about wanting to get away from tag teams as a focus.
It seems like it's impossible to predict what he'll want and focus on that because he's all over the place often. One person I chat with occasionally went from writing on a soap opera to WWE and he said he thought WWE would be a piece of cake after soaps, which have 5 one hour episodes a week and the plots range from murder to mystery to romance....nope, said WWE was the hardest job he's ever had as a writer. |

And he's right about hypocrisy. It's amazing how many people actually buy into the online mythology spread by Meltzer. I don't think he's on the take or anything, but his opinions are so skewered at this point. WWE = bad, AEW = good, even if they do the same thing. And just about anything WWE does is somehow centered on crushing AEW. They were both loading up the show and poorly promoting it just to crush those poor independent bastards who are doing amazing business compared to the WWE in their massive landslide. I get being disenchanted with the WWE. And fans are allowed to be biased. But that's what's fucking annoying. Matt Hardy teleporting is exactly the sort of shit I would get pissed at WWE for. That looks fucking horrid. Quote:

Congrats to Becky (and Seth), that must have been pretty rough on her tbf. She’s at the “peak of her powers”. Asuka as champ, cool. Just left with Otis as a cash in option. Hmmmmmm.
MVP and Lashley connection is fine by me. Looks like they could be building Lashley for a feud with McIntyre imminently. I think that could be a good programme. Tozawa jobbing on Raw again? I don’t get it, but I better get used to it I suppose. Drew/Andrade was fine. Guess that was the final chapter in the McIntyre vs Vega book for now. Literally sat at home going “no, no, no” at the realisation that Drew was gonna name Corbin as the challenger from SmackDown. Can we write Corbin off TV? Claymore, pin, Black comes out, Black Mass, Corbin off TV for 6 months? The thing with Seth was pretty good. Nice to see a loss have some sort of impact. Or he’s just reacting to the news of becoming a father. Poor Rey. I’d be happy with a Black vs Rollins programme going forward. Was this a test run for the XBA now that the XFL is done (again)? At least the Raiders managed to turn it around at the end showing the Profits they were just throwing them a bone as they never get a win over them. If they legit ended the segment with Raiders not knowing what basketball was... Edge vs Orton...in a wrestling match. I hope they market it as “Maybe the greatest wrestling match, ever” going forward. |

In terms of days recognized as champion, Becky was only 49 days away from Trish and 103 away from Rockin' Robin for longest non-Moolah women's title reign. That would've put her on pace to pass Robin a few days before SummerSlam which probably would've been the most likely time to do a title switch.
