    Most talented roster ever assembled, also most misused roster ever assembled. What a clown fiesta.

    - Give us better quality storylines
    - Eliminate 2 or 3 of these “B” and “C” level PPVs. ( I know it won’t happen because money but you really don’t need a ppv which seems to pop up every 3 weeks.)

    I actually kinda like the Rollins-Ospready spat. At least someone in WWE hasn't had their will completely destroyed.

    The comments on Moxley were REALLY shitty tough. Here's your friend who is depressed and hates his life and does something to get out of a bad situation, and you say he couldn't cut it? After wrestling as many - or more - matches as anyone in the company over the last five years? Come on.

    Outside of Ospreay and Moxley though, he's the top face in the biggest wrestling company in the world and he's coming off like an insecure little douche. It's a weird look.

    I love how mad Meltz makes Bankz. Dude, he's not out here "leaking" attendance numbers. It's well documented on twitter from people in the crowd. It's not some nefarious plot. People are legitimately disinterested in the product.

    Also, Seth went with "let's compare bank accounts," which is the sad last punch of someone who knows he's come off like a dick. I respect he's gotta try to be the guy, but Mox didn't "take his ball and go home." He became the biggest free agent in recent history and signed with 2 of the biggest companies in the world.

    I listened to one of Cornette podcasts on the screwjob and he stated that everything Meltzer posted on it at the time was accurate and said he even called Meltzer to try and get info from him on if he (Cornette) was getting any heat from the angle. It surprised me a little to see how connected Meltzer actually was/is

    With how much time I've spent on /r/SC lately, I'm convinced most wrestling fans are just weird. Whether pro WWE, AEW, NJPW, etc.

    I'm just trying to enjoy some rasslin', I've watched more WWE since DoN than I have in the year prior probably. It excited me for wrestling, I ended up subbing to NJPW and watch MLW now on youtube cause a lot of the roster is part of AEW and Cornette is funny to me.

    Then you add Dolph Ziggler to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down.

    Watching upupdowndown and knowing about the wrestlers outside the ring helps in a lot of cases, but I really have a hard time viewing Ember Moon as a no nonsense badass after watching her D&D videos and other appearances on there.

    Shit, like Vince even knows what’s going on with social media. It’s the same reason why Bray’s stuff has been great so far and the 24/7 stuff has been entertaining. I can just hear him know saying something like “don’t bother me with what’s going on with your instant grams and your tweet tubes, I have to figure out important stuff likke how to fix raw ratings...someone get me the Undertaker on the phone!”

    I noticed Sonya tucking Mandy's hair behind her ear ever so lovingly after their match. are they teasing another crush angle like they did with Bayley and Sasha for like a minute?

    I think they are and I think it could go deeper and thats cool. These two seem better cast for this given the lifestyle Sonya lives and Mandy being her BFF irl.

    Rusev and Lana were very vocal on twitter about pitching ideas to creative, being shot down and down the road those same ideas being used for other talents. Apparently they are on time out. If the contracts are running out that would be great because he's way to fucking talented to be brushed aside. The fans have gone all in on him a few times. The last time being Rusev Day and they ignored it till it was to late and cooled off. They are a combo I really hope makes it to AEW.

    Rusev is an interesting one, I'm a fan and think he's hilarious and charismatic. He could be much bigger than he is. Just wonder if he's someone AEW would want for their roster.

    I feel if Killer Kross is going to get released from his contract they'd prefer signing him and Scarlett over Rusev/Lana. But I dont know anything. I know they don't plan on signing every WWE cast away.

    I could also see Rusev happy with a stable job and getting to play video games with friends all the time.

    Vince is out of touch and crazy so its easy to toss out shit like that. It may be legit. I know that some wild shit I wouldn't think was from Vince was confirmed via Bruce on his podcast. But Corbin was told to put a shirt back on by management and then put in a waiters outfit. Vince thinking he's a sex pot is nuts. Girls must live that belly button

    Vince’s use of Rusev has always confused me. Rusev seems like he would be perfect for what Vince would want in a to heel; big dude with a foreign accent and a hot valet. Yet he languishes in the mid card next to jinder
