Yep. The whole Evolution breakup from 2004-2005 was great.

Give Peyton a shot at the Smackdown title, have Big Dave to come out as the third member of the Iconics and cheat for her to win, and heel turn Hogan at Bash at the Beach style. Cut a promo about how even the marks in the office bought it and gave Peyton the title shot because the felt sorry for her and he's been cultivating a relationship with Ric to gain his trust since before Charlotte was even born just for this moment. Have Peyton call the fans white knight losers.
Guys, this is a totally realistic scenario.

Not a popular opinion around here, but I'd rather listen to Marlee Matlin cut a promo than Becky.
Becky is the perfect example of how WWE ruins people. Her non-scripted social media "promos" are great. She's funny, entertaining, a good worker, pretty (but in a very real way), etc. But instead, Vince has done everything in his power to absolutely kill any steam she has.
As usual with the WWE and the Becky v. Charlotte deal, the "heel" has a point, the fans cheer for them as a result, and the writers won't be able to book around it.
In the same way that idiot football coaches call nothing but pass plays on 1st & goal from the 1 so that they can show off how brilliant their plays are when everybody knows a QB sneak will get the job done, the main roster writing crew only wants people to get over because of their writing. And so if a wrestler gets over on his own, it's an affront to the brilliant writing of the writers and then BURIED.
I don't know when this started, probably after the Benoit thing because one of your employees murdering his family should prompt an upswing in micromanagement, but I bet a guy like Steve Austin, when he isn't busy counting his money that he made primarily because he was a brilliant man who understood the business and understood his character better than any wrestler who has ever lived, thanks the heavens that he never got told exactly what to say and exactly how to act.
It's why the wrestlers deserve benefit of the doubt - if the ideas are bad, even great wrestlers will look bad. So we don't really know how good some of these guys are.
Like the motto of my favorite wrestling podcast says, it used to be better.

If your wife sleeps with someone else is it wrong that she is called a slut? Seems fitting
I would pay to watch Secret Service Agents shoot that no-talent, Steve Austin wanna be center mass, and piss on his corpse.
And I am indifferent to the President.

I believe it with Goldberg. He’s not an idiot who does stupid shit like that. Why would he possibly tweet that?
Somebody tell Cena to not be so depressed after his break-up and go eat something...

I mean the shoe fits.
All the veiny nastiness.
Homeboy looks like Bruce Lee ****ed John Laurinaitis.

I'm calling it, KO wins the Rumble. This will be a HHH pick for the first time since 2016. Plus a SD guy won't win it 3 years in a row.
I think the WWE would love to have another wrestler who would pull in the money Stone Cold did but at the same time they are at the mercy of that wrestler when it comes to negotiations and story lines. Also there is the Daniel Bryan effect where the WWE are at the mercy of the mob. It looks to me like they want a predictable rhythm of business with no one being too hot to handle and keeping a steady cash stream. They are selling the WWE not an individual personality.
This is not Jodie Meeks Entertainment.
Hey, here's that Johnny Jeter/Jericho match everyone's been asking about
They're not, I was just being facetious. I just heard Cornette talking about Johnny Jeter and found this match.
If we're bringing back classic OVW stuff, check out this fan cam of Nick Dinsmore vs. Chris Benoit from late 2000.
Dinsmore was a great wrestler. He looked like he belonged in there with prime Benoit, and not a lot of guys can say that when it comes to pure wrestling.
That Creed entrance music tho...

I saw Abyss at the fair last night. Apparently Tommy Dreamer was there as well but I missed him.
Was Dreamer in line for funnel cake and corn dogs?
I guess after being employed by Heyman, a fair would be steady work.
Tommy Dreamer fat jokes kill me. There are a thousand pro wrestlers fatter than Tommy Dreamer. But he is fat, and it just works. My favorite is Raven doing DVD commentary on one of their matches.
Here comes Dreamer with a cookie sheet because he's fat. He ate all the cookies.
No he was working for OVW. Also my friend bought a funnel cake bacon cheeseburger...
My favorite post-Attitude Era wrestling TV show ever was the one Paul Heyman did in OVW where he built the entire hour show around a 3-way dance for the OVW title between Punk, Brent Albright and Ken Doane (Dykstra). 10 minutes for a feud recap, 10 minutes for promos, 40 minutes for the match.Nick Dinsmore v. C.M. Punk back in OVW =
Albright and Doane both should have been mega stars. I can't understand how they could get it so wrong on both of them. However your favorite misused superstar was misused, he wasn't screwed worse than either Brent Albright or Ken Doane.
