    You place that incident at the end of the show, so you are not waiting for a husband to show up and defend his wife.

    A problem with modern day wrestling is that faces don't do face stuff. A face doesn't allow another face get the crap knocked out of them.They don't need to buds. A good person doesn't watch someone get destroyed out of the ring.

    He's portrayed as a babyface, and the fans cheer him.

    I wouldn't book a segment like that without an immediate response. Your wife was attacked and sexually assaulted. At the very least I wanted Cody to vow to choke Jake to death with his own snake while he stood by her side in the trainers room. Having no follow up that night made Cody look like ****.

    So they announced that Jeff Hardy will be wrestling someone at Money in the Bank, and it's...Cesaro.

    And not, you know, the guy they've been setting up to feud with Jeff for the last few weeks

    The curse of the great worker. Cesaro can get a great match out of anybody and they don't care about him losing . They just brought back Sheamus, so they want him taking the L to quickly. Hopefully, Sheamus will interfere before Cesaro has to the three second tan.

    I like the image of the hero hovering over the helpless loved one while the screen credits say To Be Continued.

    But I agree the whole thing made Cody look bad.

    Right. This is only the beginning, not the end, of the Sheamus-Jeff Hardy feud.
    Watching television is not an activity.

    i didn't think dry hump was what they were going for, i thought he was trying to do the "stone cold" head shaking taunt but jake just can't move that well so it looked funny.

    i think he meant she earned it as in it's kind of a badge of honor in wrestling at this point. i could be mistaken though.

    idk about that, just a week ago he kind of flung his opponent into his wife to get the advantage and allowed his brother to get beaten mercilessly to a bloody pulp. i think they're trying to muddy the waters a little w/o hamf-fisting it.

    more on kross, so around this time a relatively unknown kross had a wwe tryout and they passed on him

    now imagine at that time erick rowan had been with the WWE for about 4yrs and about a year into his main roster promotion. yes they passed on kross for development but saw erick fukn rowan as a main roster talent. as proud of their development system as WWE they've very often passed on guys and then had to pay more for them later.

    YOu don't need to be a good person to be a face in wrestling. Undertaker has tried flat out murdering people in wrestling when he was a face.

    But you can't do anything cowardly. If a face does, he's either a badly booked face, or not really a face.

    I think the dry hump is on brand for a heel Jake. The guy is an absolute bastard when he's a heel. He referenced the things he did to Miss Elizabeth in the pre-match promo so I think it was intentional.
