Weakest Smackdown yet

@Dashie41 YT
 
Weaker than the time they had Christian drop the world title only days after winning it?

The rock bought the XFL
 
What even is 2020 anymore

Vince is going to lose it thanks Dwayne Johnson

@Dashie41 YT  

 
Are you kidding? That was the best SmackDown in a very long time. If you thought SmackDown was bad, I think you might be smoking something.

@Holofan4life  
It’s the booking that is the weakest

Oh great Shane McMahon is back good thing it’s just a one off which means he won’t as annoying he was in 2019

@Dashie41 YT  

 
I disagree. I think the stuff with The Fiend and Alexa Bliss is awesome booking that ties perfectly with the Braun Strowman storyline.

Woops didn’t see the above post my bad.

Apparently a WWE faction is set to debut tonight on Monday Night Raw.
 
If I had to guess, it probably has something to do with Shane McMahon given he’s going to be appearing on Raw tonight. Maybe he’s the leader? Maybe he gets beat up? Who knows?

That Shane McMahon segment was somehow even stupider than I thought it was going to be.

WWE spent all day promoting the fact that there was going to be a stable led by Shane McMahon. But that’s not what this is. This is basically Fight Club but not as cool.
 
Unless of course the group that set that thing on fire is supposed to be the faction and Shane McMahon has nothing to do with it.

So, that group of people destroying shit is obviously WWE’s version of ANTIFA, correct?

@Holofan4life  
I thought it was the tropical storm.

I have issues with Raw Underground, but I do like that MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin usurped Shane McMahon as the owners of Raw Underground. I feel that really does a good job at painting them like a bunch of badasses.

RAW is REALLY going downhill bring back Paul Heyman

Apparently there’s a rumor going around that AAA might buy CMLL. If that happens, that would be the biggest news story involving wrestling in a long, long time. Both AAA and CMLL are the two premier wrestling organizations in Mexico. AAA buying CMLL would be like how WWF bought WCW.

@Holofan4life
 
It’s more the other way around. CMLL is to us what the NWA/AWA are to you guys, from where the best wrestlers came out and gave the best matches, then AAA came out as a response to CMLL having a monopoly and developing it’s own style and adopting the larger showbiz that modern wrestling is known for, while CMLL was dead set on it’s ways with an established way wrestling should and must be.
 
So if anything, AAA buying CMLL would be WCW buying WWF

@QuasarNova  
Yeah, but WCW spawned from the NWA, which came before the WWF. That would make WWF the AAA and CMLL WCW/NWA.

 
Marty Jannetty just admitted he murdered someone

@Holofan4life  

 
What the fuck

@Holofan4life  
Why tho? Is he simping or is it another reason why he murdered someone?
