feel like i’m taking crazy pills bc i’ve loved sammy’s title defenses. that tony nese match was a banger

 

Booking wise it hasn’t been the most interesting reign, but the matches have been good.

 

essential bte this week

 

This is basically how we describe every WWE PPV that doesnt underwhelm though.

Darby used his title reign to build a relationship with Sting and define his place in the company. Miro, obviously, did even stronger things with it. Its the perfect opportunity for Sammy to exist outside The Inner Circle and instead he's mostly been in the feud with ATT.

It would be much more interesting if he was feuding with Adam Cole or doing any of the things Cody is doing with Andrade/Malakai

 

Stumbled on Raw and the first thing I see is Vince talking about how happy firing people before the holidays makes him.

 

Someone on Twitter said Vince now sounds like Mac's mom from It's Always Sunny and I can't unhear that.

 

I didn’t even know finn was back on the main show lol

 

Holy this, the Trent/Wheeler segment.

 

I watched that segment, Vince is getting to Bob Dylan levels of unrecognizable as a voice. It feels like its some intentional "I'll sound deep and raspy" thing, but all those egg segments a while back were also impossible to decipher

 

Doesn’t help that they were piping in a ton of ridiculous crowd noise. Shit was louder than the height of Kofimania lmao

 

I also saw a clip of the Bianca/Doudrop finish and that also had insane crowd noise piped in. Surprised they didnt just pipe in the Silverdome crowd

 

Lol is there a woman in the crowd asleep behind the commentators?

 

Just popping in to say that when we watched Rampage last week my girlfriend was like “why does Adam Cole’s spray tan look so terrible” so when today’s BTE dropped I was very excited to show her

 

God I hope this happens

 

OMG IT DID LOL

NXT is killing the Cruiserweight Title this week.

 

This is hilarious.

 

Making my list for this just made it stand out how little WWE or NJPW I've watched this year.
