Didn't he apologise?
He released a video a while back denying all allegations and used "evidence" of texts, emails etc with some of the women in question after the alleged incidents. It was flimsy at best although one of them did seem like a total psycho.

I enjoyed the brodie Lee / Cody stuff but can't take Brandi seriously doing that move of the top

Smackdown is great at the minute.
Roman is fantastic. Sami is fantastic. The Alexa/Fiend stuff is intriguing. Bayley/Sasha finally going at it.

RAW is absolutely dire though. Randy orton attacking old men in the dark :lol:

I'm surprised Alexa hasn't gone to Hollywood. She can act/promo better than most women in WWE combined, has a singer boyfriend and she's fecking stunning.

I thought her acting was pretty shoddy... but maybe thats just cos I think the angle is a bit naff.

She is stunning though.

Nobody watch Takeover? Decent show. Despite being obvious who was winning, Balor vs O’Reilly was a very good match.

Solid show. Bryan Alvarez sayd that apparently Finn couldn't continue the match so they went for the finish at that point, which is a shame because up to that point it was a great great match and I think if it had a proper ending with some false finishes it would have been a classic. All that said, it was still a great match. Kyle O'Reilly is fantastic.

Damian Priest is great.
Takeover was fun as expected. Its a nice length which helps, and only has about 4-5 matches with each one getting a good amount of time.

Actually interested in retribution now given who they revealed as part of it (or leader)

They could tie it to a few things from smackdown as well if they are smart (lol)

Don’t know if I have already said it but I really like that Otis has a new finisher, the Vader bomb really suits him and makes him a more “serious” threat.

I’ve just seen a clip on Instagram off Matt Sydal drying the turnbuckle and then slipping off again. I know what happened in his debut, but it seems ridiculous to turn that into some kind of angle.

Reminds me of the shit WWE did with Titus.. but he was a bit of a joke anyway. I thought Sydal was highly rated?

Granted, I might be putting two and two together and I might be way off the mark :lol:

I think it might have been Kidman? Where they did the storyline where he was intentionally using it to injure people after he actually did?

I remember Kidman hitting Chavo Guerrero in the head with his knee whilst doing the shooting star press and knocked him out. Chavo's legs were ridged as Kidman hooked them for the pin.

Cody rHHHodes.
I like Cody but he really does seem like a mark for himself. Everything is always OTT with him.

He should have stayed away for longer then his return with the dark hair and dark attire would have had a bigger impact.

So Retribution are off tv because they've been in contact with someone who had covid. If they wanted to destroy WWE wouldnt they all just turn up even if they have covid?
Dont give vince ideas..............How long before the bad taste bears of WWE creative want to do a covid angle!

Lets be honest, Brodie only won the title in the first place cos Cody went to do that show. If Cody wasnt doing it, then Cody probably doesnt lose the title in the first place. I reckon Cody wants a big long reign as the champ to 'set the bar'
I do agree things are OTT with him. I mean he has like two entrances within an entrance. I dont even mind the presentation, but they gotta present a few others like that. Biggest thing they didnt do is present Omega and YB like that. They just seem like other guys, which is what people said would happen if they went to WWE (which could be part of the reason they lost half their initial viewers).

The top top guys for AEW have been Jericho, Mox and Cody right? in terms of matches, presentation and all.
I guess MJF would be next tier

One of AJ Styles best ever storylines was where he slipped whilst trying to do the phenomenal forearm. And then after that he'd get nervous and mess up each time he was getting ready to do it, before eventually getting over it and hitting the move later down the line.

I genuinely have no recollection of this. But I still think it seems stupid.

Watching some old wrestling segments of Nation of Domination. I was too young then to appreciate the group but looking back now, just amazing work from all the parties involved. Wish Owen hart never left the group and never did the blue blazer gimmick. Rock was just pure gold. The guy oozes class and then you have Farooq, underrated performer in wrestling business.

I see the porn star finally returned on Smackdown. Honestly thought he was done after all this time like Jason Jordan

Why would anyone draft one /two wrestlers instead of 3? It makes no sense.

I wish they would assign values to wrestlers /give a budget to the brands. That could then explain the above problem at least.

:lol: Wycombe striker Adebayo Akinfenwa has revealed he is in talks with Vince McMahon over a shock career move to WWE.

10 years of having the best strength in FIFA.

he’s a Liverpool fan so let’s hope he’s hammered

I don’t understand why they’re announcing Drew to RAW and Roman to Smackdown. They were already there!

Also according to Wikipedia the only NXT guy available to be drafted on Monday is Arturo Riaz? Does he even exist?

The whole thing makes no sense and hasnt for a while. I mean they will make changes, then in a week (or less) realise theyve made a mistake, and try to change it back. And then anyway, they will say Survivor Series is the only place you can see Raw vs Smackdown, except for other PPVs, or random Raws or SD where have the brand invitational or when Raw Underground returns.

Wow Smackdown got gutted in the draw, lost Wyatt, AJ, Strowman, Riddle, Hardy. And only really got Rollins & the Mysterio’s in return

Used to love that group.
