Even the mass market graphic novel I worked on about pro wrestling was frank about Moolah being a pimp (in pages marked as supplementary). I’d say this was gross, but the Ultimate Warrior award is kinda grosser since it seems to be given to people that would be considered gross by the Warrior’s standards.

In short, praise President 46, Kid Rock!

Plans change all of the time in WWE and that was obvious this week when Ronda Rousey, despite being advertised for all Raw’s leading up to WrestleMania, was not on the show this week.

It appears that she has been pulled from all episodes until the “go home” show for WrestleMania. Rousey was originally booked to appear on the 3/19 episode of Raw in Dallas, Texas at the American Airlines Arena and the 3/26 show at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio but she is no longer listed on advertisements for those shows.

As of this writing, she is only scheduled to appear on one more Raw before Mania. That would be the 4/2 show at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA

Well that got pulled back real quick

nachobro · « **Reply #4567 on:** March 13, 2018, 04:19:31 PM »

I'm expecting any SD matches that are going to happen to all get booked tonight, for better or worse. Everyone else will end up in the battle royale. No idea how they get to Ziggler/Shane that was mentioned though.

the one way to redeem this stupid ko/sami thing is to make them friends again and have them be co-winners of the battle royale

nachobro · « **Reply #4571 on:** March 13, 2018, 05:15:39 PM »

I dunno it was pretty good at the start. AJ, Miz, Cena, Becky, Usos, and Becky had some pretty good storylines and such. The Miz/DBryan thing was neat even if it wasn't really going anywhere. The Miz/Cena thing was great too. I also liked the Wyatt/Orton story too, I thought it was much better than the DBryan Wyatt family thing that everyone jizzes themselves over. And then New Day being added after the shakeup added some fun to the tag team roster.

But it has been draaaaaaaaging enough that I gave up on it now. AJ gets no attention paid to him as champ, Ziggler's whole thing about entrances or whatever and then leaving, the same goddamn KO/Sami/Shane thing for like two months now. It's definitely taken a downturn but I'm not sure why. It's even affected the cameramen and production too. The emojis or whatever everywhere, camera work was pretty awful for Fastlane (though I won't complain about the focus on Carmella's behind for the women's match), and the weird thing where they have the next segment/match entrances start before the last segment is over...the whole show feels disjointed. The reason I liked it at the start was that it felt tight because they had so much to fit into two hours.

I'm still watching Mixed Match Challenge though, really liking that. There's really a lot of personality in all the matchups and it feels fun.

I liked Smackdown up until the Shane/Bryan/KO/Sami saga started and has dragged on and on for so long.

SD teased that Shane had a "big announcement" tonight. Which was that he's leaving the show "for a while." He books Owens vs. Sami for Mania, but then the two of them beat the shit out of him instead.

There's people who went to Raw last night pretty pissed that not only were Ronda and Brock not on the show, but the advertised dark match after the show with some big names also never happened.

They dropped the Fabulous Moolah's name from the battle royale. Not because of social media outrage but because WM sponsor Snickers had a problem with it.

Quote from: Stro on March 13, 2018, 11:17:33 PM

Shane said he'd step down as commissioner indefinitely.

He didn't say anything about not being a wrestler.

Dirt sheets are reporting that there's no word on him being scheduled for Mania though.

I hope that's the 'E trying to keep this a work or something.

WWE LOLZ to start the week:

Lesnar popped up at the MSG house show over the weekend and the crowd was behind him all the way. Guess that plan to make him a hated heel is really working.

Bailey was supposed to be in a big tag match against Cena and Nikki Bella at the show, but was pulled because "her heel turn is still on-going."

Raw opened tonight with Angle telling the crowd that Reigns is not there because he's still suspended. Cue cheers. Roman then shows up with a WWE mic in hand and comes in the ring. Cue boos.

Roman gets handcuffed by "U.S. Marshals" and then decides to beat them all up. Brock comes out and destroys Roman. Again, the crowd loves this. Lesnar then ends up coming back to beat up Roman three more times including while he was on a stretcher.

The announcers are doing their best to make Roman seem sympathetic and Brock look like an asshole...and the crowd doesn't care and is cheering for Brock.

Cena, Ronda, and Samoa Joe are there too.

Rajah sez:

Quote

-- According to pwinsider.com, AJ Styles made only one appearance over the weekend when he showed up briefly to save Shinsuke Nakamura from an attack by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Styles was originally supposed to team with Nakamura to take on Owens and Zayn, but was attacked with chairshots before the match began. Randy Orton then filled in for him for the remainder of the tour as Nakamura's tag team partner.

-- While Styles is dealing with some sort of injury, exact details are unknown. However, he is backstage at Raw tonight getting evaluated by WWE's medical staff. Styles is booked into one of the top matches at WrestleMania 34, where he will be defending his WWE title against Nakamura, so it remains to be seen what impact his injury will have on that scheduled bout.

About that-

Quote

-- The Ultimate Deletion match between Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt which was taped last week and aired on Raw last night was a huge hit online, especially on social media where it was the trending #1 for a number of hours even after Raw ended. The real determination as far as the company goes will come later today when viewership numbers come out for Raw, specifically how much of the audience was retained in hour three.

-- Michael Hayes was listed as the producer of the segment/match and Jeremy Borash was also said to be heavily involved, as per PW Insider. Reby Hardy - Matt's wife - filmed and edited a lot of the footage that was used in the match and some of the music that played was also composed by her.

-- Jeff Hardy's cameo was not edited out and Jeff continues to work out at the Performance Center this week in anticipation of a return to WWE TV. Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt were both backstage at Raw.

And the live crowd got a dark match:

Quote

During the airing of the Ultimate Deletion match, which was pre-taped last week, WWE did a dark match for the live audience with Braun Strowman wrestling and defeating Elias. After that match, Kane came out to attack Strowman and was put through a table.

Ronda did show up but it was not televised since this was also during the Deletion match.

Nah, adjust yo speakaz, mang- they were pretty nuts for that segment.
