    Are they singing to Bayley? Do the English not understand that she is the least attractive one out there?

    Had to be one of the worst made fake walls WWE has ever made. Great camera work showing the directional sign with an arrow facing where the wall was

    Also the whole build to Mania was about how Braun did not want a tag partner, since Mania I think all he has done is be in tag matches...

    RAW was awful.

    The fact that HHH was in New York clearly had a impact on a terrible night.

    I’m all about giving Ronda the title. That way both top belts on RAW won’t be defended and just be off TV.

    Love me some KO and Rollins was good.

    Poor Sami gonna be used to get a no personality Lashley over.

    And why in the fuck is Braun teaming up with someone every week now.

    Man I thought the Orton and Jinder shit was bad. We’re about to hit a new low with Roman and Jinder. Could you come up with a more boring duo to weave throughout a 3 hour show.

    I think someone mentioned this but the fact that Vince just doesn't give a fuck about logic and basically saying his audience is stupid enough to accept it is baffling.

    Whats worse is he's 100% correct in large part because he has a monopoly.

    For a second I thought Reigns was going to superman punch Angle last night, then throw around some referees. Give him a match with Angle at Money in the Bank where he destroys him. Now he has real heel heat.

    I never read the comment sections on things like that. From YouTube to twitter to Facebook. Its normally vile and really low level responses. I think the last time I read a comment section was back when JRs wife died and someone posted a recap of the NJPW event from Long Beach or Wrestle Kingdom and people were shitting on JR about his lapse in story line or something and a person took a shot at JRs dead wife. It was so out of place and scummy I just said thats the end of the comment section from now on.

    does WWE network have a feature that allows you to search a wrestler, ex, Stone Cold and watch all of his matches/promos on demand without having to fast forward through hundreds of episodes of RAW?

    I don’t think he is correct, I think it’s a smaller minority then we think made up of mostly the really young. He monopoly is the important part though, we can all think it’s garbage but really where else are you going to go to watch wrestling? It’s like the people who got mad at the NFL over the kneeling and said they’re going to stop watching. That’s great but of you love football, what you going to watch then, Canadian league? Not likely, so they just suck it up and watch anyway

    seems like this would be a great feature to add. Would be a shit ton of coding work, but it would be awesome to be able to click on a legendary wrestler and just watch his storylines throughout his career without getting bogged down by having to search on your own.

    Listening to busted open today and trying to figure out a major disconnect I am having with them. Mark Henry and the host talking about how Nia Jax is the most over female Face of the company right now. On the other hand I think she is awful and didn't think she was over. What are others takes on her?

    At first read I was like no way is she the most over, but then I thought about it and are there really any woman who are over as a face? I wouldnt count Rhonda, she is over because she is famous and something new still. Bayley and Sasha are pretty lukewarm. Becky? Asuka maybe?

    She's over because she just got out of a feud with the only real heel in the womens division which made her very sympathetic. It doesn't mean she's the most talented or will stay the most over.

    I think you underestimate the number of people like that, and it's the easiest way for the company to see how the audience thinks, so in their minds it likely is a representation

    The womens divison as a whole is such a clusterfuck right now

    You have Asuka who was made into a killer repeatedly beat Nia in the lead up to Mania tap almost immediately to Flair who then goes on to lose clean to Carmella meanwhile Nia goes on to beat Alexa and win the Raw championship and absolutely randomly challenge Rousey

    while Asuka just falls off the face of the earth

    I quit Busted Open after they got rid of Larry Dallas. Listening to Bully Ray put himself over and constantly talk about old rock doesn’t have a spot in my rotation. That show is just a terrible shill for the WWE now. It’s a shame too. A wrestling show getting 3 hours a day 5 days a week used to be a dream come true. But there’s so much better content out there. POST Wrestling, Sunday Night’s Main Event, Keller’s shows, 83 Weeks, STW. All quality shows.

    I have SiriusXm in my car so I listen to it sometimes when heading to and from work. Mark Henry was a host today and he put himself over more than Bully Ray does. Said life isn't fair and if it was he basically would have always won in weight lifting because he was only one who didnt cheat. Also said shooting Ronda to the top isn't bad and basically compared her to him and said it worked for him because some people just have quick learning curves. Lagreca is annoying, he does shill for WWE. He spent a good part of a segment complaining about Ronda because Nia was so great and so over.

    Yep, first 30 minutes of Busted Open literally was talking about how Nia Jax is so over, how she is a great "big man" wrestler and is most over babyface female on roster. Lagreca basically saying it is not fair if she drops belt already to Ronda. Mark Henry was adding that it may be a good idea so now mainstream media can see how great Nia is and facing Rousey will get her the attention she deserves.

    Which is why I brought it up in the first place. For those who watch OSW Review, I think in their Mania review they called Nia the worst person on the mic in WWE and possibly the worst in the ring too. I thought that was more of the sentiment amongst fans which is why I mentioned how shocked I was hearing her praise on there.

    Nia is awful in ring. Putting a green as fuck Ronda in there with her makes no sense. Unless they are practicing the entire match down in Orlando I can’t see how it’s gonna be good.

    Busted Open is just awful. They take the sunny side view of everything and play stupid to the reality of what’s going on. In part because the have connections to WWE and will never shit on the product entirely.

    Charlotte
    Becky
    Asuka
    Bayley
    Sasha

    All are move over as baby faces.

    Mella
    Bliss

    More over as heels.

    Vince loves his Somoans and being Rocks family has helped two undeserving talents get launched to the top of the show.
