    Also the reason WWE did what they did with Braun should be obvious. They have seen the reaction Braun is getting and are positioning him to be a top babyface. He is already over with the hardcore fans, but this just made him a hero to kids everywhere. Its a slow build, its organic and its well done

    His hate for female ring announcers is nonsensical to me. JoJo has done a wonderful job for the last couple of years. Mania's presentation was not hurt by her.

    Plus corny continues his tradition of skipping over things and then complaining there is no story, when the story was the stuff he skipped

    Asuka will be the one since she's staying on RAW. That was the plan as of last week but they may want to move her. I think the money is in building Asuka up for Rousey to beat, so that Flair and Rousey have the tagline of "the only women to beat Asuka" in their 1 v. 1.

    We had a whole debate about it when it happened. 9 out of 10 times they hit that spot. It still was a FUCKING STUPID SPOT!

    I saw a ROH match not too long ago that had 10, ten, TEN! Apron spots. W. T. F.

    Talk about watering down the impact of that.

    Well, it wasn't until the early 2000s that the suplex to outside wasn't a match-ender in a regular match. It was a standard double count-out except in hardcore matches.

    I'm very surprised he isn't called out on his sexism at all.

    Because no one listening to Jim care and either listen to it because they, or those he see his nonsense and just laugh about him being old and cranky. Either side not worth getting worked over Jim it is gimmick now.

    Jericho wants to go out kicking and screaming. I smell shenanigans. When is this special airing?

    Is he? Honestly I'm more worried about him being taken out of that match then him being put into it. Though with Lana giving an in character reason for him being replaced, maybe they've got some thing else planned.

    Making Jinder tap like a bitch would be a start.
