Hai
They've fucking done it again. I guess I'm to blame a little as well. I shouldn't keep checking the videos on WWE's youtube channel from time to time. Yeah ... they weened me back in, and not even smoothly.
What's even more surprising is that the Diva division is what tipped the scales back in favor of wrestling. If me 5 years ago could read this, he'd probably have me committed. Bastard is surely capable of doing it.
Okay, twenty-two year old me, relax. It's Rebecca Knox and Flair's daughter, ok? Remember Rebecca Knox, that Irish girl that was way too beautiful to be a fantastic wrestler as well? Yeah, her. And no, Flair's daughter didn't inherit Ric's hairline or David's inability to get over. Are we good? Okay.
It has to be done. For as much as I've ragged on Triple H and his golden shovel tactics, he's done a pretty fan-fucking-tastic job on NXT and bringing them onto the main roster and give them time and opportunity to be embraced by the fans.
I love Becky Lynch. Really do. She's the kind of woman, I'd probably stutter in front of while swinging about a diamond ring I can't afford. Irish, redheaded and wrestling skill are three qualities I greatly appreciate in a woman. And since you can't graft a vagina or a crash course in entertaining wrestling onto Sheamus, options aren't in abundance. (Although grafting a vagina onto Sheamus could be a medical breakthrough!)
Rebecca Quin/Knox/Lynch is someone I'd followed for a while almost a decade ago, until she quit wrestling altogether. So, it's good to see she came back and is absolutely killing it. Seriously, her match versus Sasha Banks for the title is one of the best matches I've seen. Not just women's. Storytelling, sequences, ring psychology were all.on.point.
Same thing goes for Charlotte "I'm a Flair, but hey". I'm not a fan of nepotism in wrestling (Fuck you, [REDACTED] for bringing your daughter Brooke into it, despite her having no discernible talent). But Charlotte can actually wrestle really well. There's of course copious references to her dad ("do it with Flair"? Really? Most women likely have, to be honest). But at the least, she has plenty of skill to make it without riding her dad's legacy (like many women have, unless his knob isn't called legacy.)
Anyways ... Tough Enough is really shit. Never realised that Austin was the one that made it entertaining. Also, fuck you voting audience, for keeping Z "gatorfuckin' yeehaw" Z in there.
YAY for Kevin Owens, Cesaro, Ambrose and Rollins being featured more often! Cesaro getting a good push? Who'd have deemed it still possible?
While I don't wish any harm on any people. I can't be sad about the fact that John Cena is sneezing horizontally for the time being. It bothers me that a guy who's been pushed to the mid card to give others a chance is still practically main eventing.
Soooo .... we've been making fun of that one Booker T promo on [REDACTED] for years on end. Surprisingly, it caught up to the guy. Whether [REDACTED] is a flaming racist or not is of no consequence. I hate the guy anyways. I assume most of the world will continue to agree with that sentiment. Brother.
Damn shame about Piper. Way too soon. Genuinely one of the most entertaining guys WWF/E ever had. I imagine some of his promos are obligatory learning material for the nxt guys and girls. First Dusty and now Piper. That's two top guys gone in the span of about a month. Sheesh.
On a personal note, I'm doing better. I've been gradually losing weight and becoming less cynical over the past two months. A little over 30 pounds completely shedded and I'm feeling energetic. All is well. Still unemployed though, but summer's almost over, which should help.
I might go more in depth at a later time. I also imagine I'll be focusing strictly on wrestling for the time being, as my media ingestion is fairly irregular, if not non-existent.
