    Re-post from the FSU board, but this year alone they've ruined:

    American democracy
    FSU football
    Social media

    and now most importantly, The Sport of Kings

    Time to Gen Xecute their ass

    I've already got something!

    I anticipate that Ronda Rousey will or will be on the precipice of an in-ring performance.

    So, what does the WWE look for in a celebrity wrestler? Why did Floyd Maywheather wrestle and not Mike Tyson? What's stoppling Connor?

    The likely answer: money. I think WWE is low-rent af.

    Apparently Vince hasn't even talked to Conor, it's all media BS. Dana White was asked about it and he showed a reporter a text conversation on his phone he had with Vince about that report and Vince response was "that's news to me" and then vince said that something like that might work in the future but not right now.

    Have we discussed Meltzer reporting that the Survivor Series will have Brock-Jinder non-title

    I’d actually be interested in seeing Brock kill him

    The opponent for Jinder on the India tour has been announced. Jinder will be working as a babyface defending the title against Kevin Owens.

    Hopefully let Jinder win in an interference and let KO take the built when tour over, but if they serving KO to him to win clean over in India, it would be awful booking

    Yup.

    Add in HHH/Shane and you have your top three matches.

    If they do Jinder/Brock at Survivor Series I doubt that match closes the show. My guess is that something like KO/Zayn/Usos vs Shane/Orton/New Day is the headliner with a stip that if Shane’s team loses he is gone from SD. Triple H will cost Shane the match to set them u for Mania.

    Praying they give this Owens/Sami alliance some time to breath. They should stay together for at least a year.

    In typical WWE fashion they will do Nakamura/Styles for the US title and give it 9 minutes.

    Also I believe Joe is due back soon. I wonder if they would make him the fourth man for the Shield in their inevitable SS rematch with Miz, Sheamus, Cesaro and Strowman.

    As the opening of the PPV and yet they would still make it match of the night and the main events later on crap by comparison

    How does him joining the Shield make any sense... He beat down and took out Rollins, he beat Roman and they have feuded recently.

    I've tried to watch Smackdown but I just can't get into anymore. After this latest roster shakeup it just feels 2nd rate to me. I've only been watching Raw the past few months.

    If Florida were a wrestler, they'd be Bret Hart. At the top of their game in the 90s, but now just old and bitter about everything.

    Ugh, Smackdown may suck for a little longer

    Just got a TV advertisement for a WWE live event in Detroit on Dec 27 and advertised main event is Jinder defending against Nakamura and that Jinder is defending his belt. If he is still champ over two months from now....
