    They remembered how much people liked her beating up ronda and are like “let’s make her even more unlikeable, that’ll work!” Haha

    Looks like wwe is moving away from Ticketmaster. WrestleMania tickets will be sold through SeatGeek

    roamer. wanderer. nomad. vagabond.

    hopefully at a savings for the fans from crazy ass service fees for tickets. paying 25$ in fees for a 25$ ticket is fucking ridiculous.

    Christ I just saw Archer’s botch there. That was scary.
     
  8. Yea they would and that’s coming from a Charlotte hater - she obviously hates the WWE booking and going to AEW with her fiancée and way better booking would do wonders for her

    THese two things dont mesh. Nobody has been booked stronger in WWE than Charlotte, aside from Brock and Roman, for the last 5 years. Arguably she's been booked stronger than Brock, who has sustained quite a few losses of late (6-4 in his last 10 matches). She is always put in tag matches or triple threats/four-way matches to protect her when she loses. 7 of her "losses" this year were by DQ, Count Out, or a beat the clock challenge. She lost her title by cash-in, immediately beat Nikki the next week in a non-title match, and then won it back at the next PPV.

    There is no world where someone who throws a hissy fit because she might be made to look weak would handle losing to Ruby Soho well...or worse, losing multiple matches to The Bunny

  10. She would have more sensical booking - especially if you buy that she lobbied to lose to Belair last Monday - she’s booked strongly but it makes no sense and it’s soured the crowd response for her too which may frustrate her. Plus this whole thing is because this title exchange was gonna make her look like a geek.

    Kinda seems like she’s fed up with all the nonsensical bullshit. Doesn’t matter how strong you’re booked when everyone comes off looking like an idiot

    Did we ever get a horsewomen fatal four way? I might be remembering wrong but I feel like its one of those things WWE held off on for the "right moment" and now like, its too late.

    That's just AT&T Stadium, not WWE. They've been in exclusive partnership with SeatGeek for a couple years now.

    Concerning Charlotte, in WWE the ONLY way to have a shot at good booking is to be a dominant champion, thats it. If she were to go to AEW she could just get good booking all around. Do I want that? It has me curious, and I think it would help the women's division.

    Right, and Charlotte is always against segments that make people look weak which is why she vetoed Banks never successfully defending her title or Becky getting turned heel pre-Man at Summerslam when she was super over or becoming NXT champion or any of the other dozen story lines that made others fools

    Ive seen no report or indication that shes a team player or a positive presence in any way. Would her stories be more logical, sure? Would i rather that benefit be given to like a dozen other women in WWE ahead of Charlotte, 1000%

    Braun would probably be booked amazingly in AEW too, doesnt mean I want to see him there
     
  23. Right I don’t give a shit about Charlotte I’m just saying AEW could probably work magic with her

    Honestly, I also dont want to see Roman or Cena or Brock in AEW either. I much prefer watching underutilized people being used in really fun ways.
