We won't know if it's a burial until we see what happens next. All we really have is that segment. If next week, they don't even mention it and they're off the show, it was a burial. If it's a new thing they're doing with their characters, it could be the beginning of them actually being used/pushed. :yeshrug: Anybody's guess til then.

Breh, they spent a month burying Ryder and took the means he used to get himself over away from him to prevent him from getting over again. This is after he had the crowd interrupting the biggest Crossover Star the business ever created to chant his name.

If he isn't on TV again for months, that's still a win because they have a half a million dollar downside. :russ:

This, especially since it's for another 5 years. Both of them suckered the WWE into giving them new contracts, then revealing she's pregnant again (second time they did so after signing WWE contracts). Not really a fan of his but they way they've hustled the WWE (paying for rehab, guaranteed income while Maria was pregnant, etc.) for what will be close to a decade is impressive.

The Ascension was one of the more baffling ones of the decade. I'm not going to pretend to have been a fan or argue they would've become GOAT but changing their colorway and giving them shoulder pads only to then have commentary shyt on them for being LOD knockoffs when they literally turned them into LOD knockoffs in their debut. That pissed me off on their behalf how you gonna make it seem like getting over is on the talent when Vince will make changes like that and decide he doesn't like it during a match and have his commentary team shyt on the guys like it was their idea. Do they forget these guys are supposed to make them money? Then they all got beat up at a PPV by a bunch of geriatric wrestlers and that fakkit JBL threw some real stank on his closeline cause that's the only way Jibble looks tough when he shoots on job guys.

That Illuminati gimmick was sick as hell
I’m starting to see why people gate Vince

Mike Kanellis has always been a guy who various promotions have tried to make happen so I never liked him but that was pretty unnecessary like I said about Ascension. Aren't they supposed to make money for you? What do they hope to accomplish with this? Make him sympathetic and turn Maria heel? Nah, this just to make him look like a bytch cause we know they have already abandoned the idea of doing anything else with them. I will say that Mike was smart to tap out instantly to that half assed disarmer if I had to put over a female wrestler I'm making it look as phony as possible full-on Michaels vs Hogan.

No. To me, a burial becomes unacceptable if the individual involved was basically on the rise/a damn near sure thing prior to being derailed, and either never recovered or took forever to do so.

So to that end...

Zack Ryder was worse. This is probably the worst one given how hard he worked to get himself over when the WWE largely did NOTHING to help the cause.
Asuka's entire main roster run has been worse. The Carmella shyt was embarrassing.
Bayley getting bytched out by Alexa Bliss in that kendo stick match a couple years back was worse.
You could say Nakamura's ill-fated run-ins with AJ Styles were worse.
Braun Strowman never having the trigger pulled on him was worse.
The Revival's recent tag team struggles were worse.
