She really doesn’t need a reboot. She was a perfect baby face in NXT, fire the writers on the main roster shows for ruining character after character.

They’ll probably try and turn her heel at some point, despite showing no obvious signs of having it in her. Maybe she’d surprise everyone.

The problem for me I should that I believe they’ve ruined her too much that she is almost beyond repair. Like when they took the wind out of zach ryders sails for example. He never managed to recover.

They dropped the ball last year with her when and how they gave her the title then booked her as an incredibly week and lucky champion. Her character needed to win the title for the first time against the odds at wrestlemania.

I haven't seen this anywhere else but this Twitter account and that was 6 hours ago, not even WON themselves. Sounds like BS.

Jesus, even being associated with Seth Rollins gets you seriously injured these days! I hope I never happen to share a plane flight with him :slol:

They’ve put up a load of old coliseum home videos on the network. It only goes up to ‘93 so far so it’s mainly shite, I watched WWF’s funniest moments from 1991. It had zero funny moments. :simper:

They sure released a lot of rubbish onto VHS back in the day, though there’s a few gems there such as the U.K. Rampage events from Sky Movies.

Anyone else think the conclusion to RAW was a little strange? I heard a stagehand shout “take your time” at Strowman. It was then like the show had officially ended, as he started gesturing to the crowd more than you’d expect him to, before slapping kids hands on the way out. Just felt a little odd.

Well it sounds like Jordon has had minor neck surgery. I don't know why but I always seem to think of him as being a bit too much like Tyson Kidd.

Not too keen on him as a person, but Kid Rock sure has had some great songs on WWE programming over the years. New Orleans a perfect and obvious fit for WrestleMania this year, and of course who can forget Lonely Road of Faith.

Well just gloss over WrestleMania 25...

The Lonely Road of Faith video they knocked up that time was absolutely amazing.

Man I would LOVE it if “American Badass” ‘Taker inducted him! He wouldn’t have to give a long speech or anything, lord knows there isn’t that much to say about Kid Rock in terms of WWE, just come out to American Badass on his motorbike to a ginormous pop and say “Here’s Kid Rock” or something!......Or maybe save that idea for when they induct Limp Bizkit :slol:

Proving controversial. I guess WWE really does love any positive media.

Ivory confirmed for the Hall of fame. It’d be cool if they got Alison Brie or Marc Maron from GLOW to induct her. It’ll probably be Steven Richards or The Godfather though.

Sounds like they're getting rid of the single-brand PPVs from Backlash onwards and having both brands on all PPVs.

Brand split worked out well again, then.

I guess it means every show will now also be a minimum of 5 hours. :dread:

I think ESPN congratulated Victoria by mistake on Twitter :fp:

Does WWE have an issue with Victoria, because they never mention her these days and she wasn’t on RAW 25 or the Rumble.

Isn’t she still in TNA or whatever it calls itself these days?
