Re: Wrestling (WWE, IMPACT, NXT, AEW)
Two nights at 3 hours each was great. Both main events were hot which hadn't happened since Rollins cashed in the MITB. And yes, people were stoked for Becky v Ronda, but the audience were burnt after seven hours.

But if I weigh that against it being seven hours and the crowd being burnt out, I'd rather see two nights. There is still a legit main event at the end of the second show, and you get a co-main event with the first night's last match.

Two night WM FTW!
Sometimes it's hard to follow a 7 hour long show.

Sometimes? I can't imagine doing anything that long unless I'm getting paid for it.

Re: Wrestling (WWE, IMPACT, NXT, AEW)
I don't know if it was the lack of a crowd but that Triple H 25th Anniversary thing sucked. The got ya! clip packages, the FaceTime calls, Vince being... so Vince. Name-dropping a horrible segment that 80% of the current audience wouldn't know of. And I'm not sure why Vince felt last night was the time to say how god-awful the Bayley: This is Your Life segment was. Such an odd reference.
Maybe I'm just in the camp that feels Triple H really is one of the best of all time and it felt like a typical cop-out to basically play it up for laughs. And I know he could never play it serious and boast about his career without getting roasted by fans for doing it. I don't know, just wasn't that good.

Re: Wrestling (WWE, IMPACT, NXT, AEW)
She's coasting on the fumes of being the catalyst for the surge in popularity for Becky Lynch, as well as being the big girl living her dream in wrestling. Oh and she's related to The Rock/part of the Anoa'i family. There's that too.

Re: Wrestling (WWE, IMPACT, NXT, AEW)
Nia had a ton of potential, but has completely fizzled since her feud with Alexa Bliss ended. Having her squash talented and popular people like Kairi every week doesn't help. Though, on the bright side, she is at least better than Tamina who is also getting a big push right now. What do we think about the rumors of HHH replacing Apollo Crews in the MITB match? I cringed at first, but it is true that he's proved quite good at climbing the corporate ladder.

Re: Wrestling (WWE, IMPACT, NXT, AEW)
Mandy and Sonya have no right to have the best storyline in all the main roster. Not overall WWE Because whatever they have going with Drake Maverick down on NXT is just heads and shoulders everything right now.
Also how in the fucking fuck are the two Mitb matches be happening at the same time?!? Sure as fuck worse time to cancel my network subscription, lol

I hope Otis wins money in the bank. Mandy turning on him during his cash in would be epic.

Re: Wrestling (WWE, IMPACT, NXT, AEW)
With what happened in Smackdown tonight I wouldn't discard that option. They are going full on Trish and Jericho for this two. Down to the big kiss
Inevitable the elbow to the face costing Otis his match and then making up with (ugh) Ziggler on the top of the stage is coming. I wish it was anyone but Ziegler.

Won't that be super chaotic? Is it going to take place at the same time or will we randomly get dropped in on it? Also I signed up a month ago because WWE Network offered a ton of stuff for free, and I can still view everything on there and I'm not paying anything? I figured I had a month free but surely that's up by now.

Re: Wrestling (WWE, IMPACT, NXT, AEW)
There were definitely some sparks between Otis and Nia. She is at least going to be his backup bitch now.
The Year of Otis!!

Re: Wrestling (WWE, IMPACT, NXT, AEW)
Otia got the hottest chick in all of WWE history, a WM win and now Mitb winner in a little bit over a month. Now that's a push.
And now.... BECKY IS PREGNANT?!?! Congrats to her but this means WWE is losing their top 3 stars now. (Becky, Seth, Roman).

Re: Wrestling (WWE, IMPACT, NXT, AEW)
Asuka is the first to hold all the women's titles (NXT, Raw, Smackdown, and Tag), correct? If so, I'm truly stunned it wasn't given to Charlotte first. Not bashing Charlotte, it just would have been the most likely scenario.

Re: Wrestling (WWE, IMPACT, NXT, AEW)
From a personal standpoint, if this is what Becky wanted, I'm happy for her. Giving up the best years in your profession and ending an incredible year and a half run as the top woman in wrestling, including a lengthy stretch where she was the biggest name in WWE, that's a big step. We tend to forget these wrestlers are people, and if being a mother is something Becky wanted, it was pretty much now or never.
From a fan standpoint, it sure does suck. She leaves a huge gap in the women's division right now. They were able to build a star in her, and even if her title run went too long, she was the biggest thing going in the company. No other woman rivals her place right now. Asuka, Shayna, Charlotte, Mandy, Rhea... they all have talent in their own ways, but no one is on Becky's level. WWE has a long road to build the next star in the division. The usual suspects, like Charlotte, Sasha, Bayley, work best as heels. So I think it's anyone's spot to grab at this point. But it's going to take something special for someone to reach Becky's level.
Definitely a huge loss for at least a year and a half and probably longer. I would assume if she comes back it'll be on a part-time basis. I don't see her doing this full-time any more.
Interesting how some of the biggest names in wrestling had short runs as top names, even though their legacy lives on. Austin really only enjoyed his huge success from 1996-2002. Retired in 2003. The Rock's run as a top name even shorter, 1999-2002. Was never a full time guy after that. Not saying Becky is in the same league overall, but for the division, she sure is.

Re: Wrestling (WWE, IMPACT, NXT, AEW)
Forgot that Bayley held the Raw's title. Well... Asuka has won the Royale Rumble and Money in the Bank, so her list of accomplishments is a bit better. Not to turn it into a competition (it's WWE), of course, but I'm glad Asuka has been given the opportunity to achieve so much despite the language (or even speech) barrier which so often undermines top talent in the company.
