Jimmy turning on Jey > Cody winning at Wrestlemania

The irony of this post.

Wait till next April.

But you're right.

 

[VegetasHairline]

All I know is when it happens, y'all gonna get tired of Cody's championship reign QUICK!

 

[DaylitoJames]

So that's the one that Heyman said gonna get pregnant tonight?

Triple H getting pressed on the women’s division

But you're right.

I won't be watching.

 

[DaylitoJames]

Does this mean we're eventually no longer gonna hear The Usos theme? That's the real loss here!

If Jimmy comes out to his father's "Bad Man" theme

Triple H getting pressed on the women’s division

He getting pressed like women been pressing the men about a pay raise to all the WNBA players

 

[Easy-E]

I'm glad Triple H is answering like this.

I'm sorry; we're obsessed with identity politics in everything.

I fukking love Bianca...because of who she is.

I fukking love Iyo and Asuka, not becuase they're Asian, I love their wrestler and dope characters.

I fukking love Bobby, The Street Profits, etc. because they dope.

Yes, wrestling has a huge legacy of racism and sexism, but, I'm not seeing any of that.

shyt, we been begging them to push LA Knight. And he the whiteness and straightest of straight white men.

 

[Cattle Mutilation]

Meh, I've seen him win clean and I expect heels to get wins by any means

I’m just tired of it being like every damn singles match is all.

Just give me some variety with cheating, try a low blow, a weapon, a title belt shot to the head, using the ropes for leverage on a pin, have Heyman put his foot on the ropes when he’s getting pinned, etc.

Mix in a clean win here and there.

Just something different than the Samoan flavor of the month interfering every match.

You can post all the gifs, smilies, & reactions you want, but I lost interest in this angle 2 years ago when Jimmy fell in line & they didn’t do anything within the bloodline for another 14 months. This angle has had more filler than dbz could’ve ever cooked up, a champ vanishing on tv for months on end repeatedly and rendering the rest of the show pointless (not to mention leaving raw without a world title or tag title scene for a year which made the entire 3 hours every Monday night entirely pointless) and now we get a 1999-2001 wcw type swerve. Evolution at its lowest point didn’t drag on this long.

Roller Derby needs a revival

Mission accomplished

Because at some point it breaks the suspension of disbelief. No other combat sport allows run ins every time the champ defends the belt and it’s made worse by the fact that the announcers don’t stay on that point and the guy who got screwed just moves on with his day. It’s the same problem that JBL’s run as champ had. When the finish to every match is entirely unsatisfying for several reasons that are all illogical, it leaves a bad taste in everyone’s mouths and essentially nobody really benefits. Makes everyone feel like their time was wasted. Look at the match vs Cody. Solo interferes 3 times before the ref ejects him. Then Jimmy & Jey run in for interference spot #4 of the match before Sami & KO run them off. Then Heyman distracts the ref & solo comes back through the crowd for the ending sequence which is interference spot #5 of the match. Then there’s no follow up to that. It’s like if a story ends on a cliffhanger but there’s never any resolution to it.

Just say you hate the fact your guy did not win and keep it moving, disingenuousness and poor text editing is a bad look
