Hopefully the Naomi Jade match is on the smack down before mania - it has no business being on the card

 

Its such a weird build; do they still do the womens ARMBAR, that seems like an obvious Jade win on a SD or Preshow match. But yeah...take Jade off tv for 4 months for an actual injury that they try and work the dirtsheets to say it isnt an injury for some reason...and all for, no obvious match?

 

If this was AEW people would be saying they fumbled Jade big time, but WWE fans eat whatever slop they are served and love this shit. Definitely doesn’t belong on WM.

 

It’s hilarious people thought all of Jade’s problems would magically be solved in WWE. Turns out AEW was right on her. Look is there. Everything else is not even close.

 

She has been on the same level for way too long. When was the last time she actually had a good 10+ minutes one on one match?

Edit: Looking at her Cagematch profile, she had 3 one on one matches on TV. One match was 5 minutes, another was 2 minutes and one was 30 seconds (squashing a current champion).

 

I dont really believe the dirt sheet stuff, cause WWE has been working them for a while...but, the "Jade told Shayna she should learn to work" line made me cackle for basically this exact reason. Harley Cameron has show more in-ring growth than Jade did in her 3 years. Mariah May became more of a star in 3 weeks than Jade did in 3 years. Her leaving opened up Mercedes to put over (even while not losing) multiple people who Jade otherwise buried.

 

WWE has a better Jade Cargill in Lash Legend

 

The rematch against Statlander is the only good match I remember Jade working. I remember thinking that maybe she learned something while she was off, then she left and that was proven wrong.

 

I mean, yeah, but also, Bianca and Rhea are more credible monsters. And obviously Nia is too. And thats before you get to Lash or Zaria or anyone in NXT>

Literally everyone in her vortex is better off now too; god, can you imagine how they'd have fed Harley to her as hot as she is now? It'd have been a Grand Slam thing AND a Revolution match she got squashed in.

 

Btw, Cody's promo was perfect...while Travis shouldnt have been there, the shoot wounds he's wearing work too...absolutely inexplicable (even if they pay it off) that John Cena or The Rock havent cut a promo yet.

Raw on Netflix and SD on USA cant possibly less relevant if the biggest heel turn in the last 20 years isnt paid off on weekly TV.

 

Shin must be taking some time off after the passing of his brother - feel for him

 

And that segment was brutal btw, made Bianca look stupid as hell

 

Love Chelsea’s Cactus Jack gear

 

JR absolutely ruining the moment will forever be burned in my brain lol. Just shut the fuck up sometimes!

 

Loving the WCW YouTube channel. Now watching possibly the greatest wrestling match of the 1980's.

Love that young 30 year old Meltzer is right up in the front row lol

 

Oh 100%. Marketability can take you so far when there’s have a whole roster that’s going to expose her once she’s on her own.

LOL. An amazing moment hearing that song again. The best wrestling event I’ve ever been to.

 

I was such an early 90s wcw fan. I will be seeking out some old cactus jack and Vader matches

 

Vader/Foley's Texas death match at Halloween Havoc '93 rules

 

One game I like to play when watching WCW is "how many dudes in the crowd are randomly shirtless?"

 

I liked the Naomi/Bianca segment

 

Cody’s promo was great too

 

lmao poor Charles. dude is a champion

 

Love OME
