Certain guys you just can't have in the main event bro.

Raw is pointless without any true main event involving the title

SD is shyt

 

[FromStLouis]

This would be a win if it led to fundamental changes, but it won't. WWE is a hopeless pursuit.

I hope the trend continues. We have to free as many minds from the Matrix as we can.

Let it go marks.

Here is a visual reenactment of the ratings this past week

 

[TransJenner]

I mean think about Sami Zayn , Finn Bálor


They look like fans from the audience and let’s be honest they’re BORING , they look generic as fukk , aren’t they self aware that they’re not even larger than life
