Honestly her character being batshit crazy has been one of the most entertaining things on Raw the last few months. It sucks that she'll likely never get this spot back. As they have the most stacked women's roster in wrestling.
I don't think they want to put the title on Vaquer yet, they have bigger plans for her. I think it's all but certain Vaquer is going to win the Rumble and probably face Rhea for the title at Mania. Giving her a filler reign now doesn't make much sense.
not well versed in the period, but from my understanding Vince Sr was concerned that turning Billy Graham babyface was a bad idea because he had long hair and he thought it was a bad influence on children to have a counter-culture Proto-Hogan as face of the company, so he dropped it to a Backlund, who was obviously a more clean cut, 50s American kind of deal, as a guy with Long Hair myself, this wouldn't be a big deal now, but many people, especially back then gave a shit about that, just kind of how it was
yeah, timing was strange, but sometimes accidents happen when it comes to pregnancies, she had a very good past few months, im not really a huge fan but I can appreciate putting in the work when I see it, in terms of the title going forward I think they do some sort of Triple Threat or Fatal Four Way match to determine who gets to face Vaquer for the vacant belt, whatever they do, they have to save Rhea vs Vaquer for Mania, thats just too big of a match to throw away at a B PPV like Clash, at least in my opinion
I can't say I've ever heard this story at all. This shit about Graham turning face didn't start until he suggested it in his book years ago, is Graham's revisionist history in the wake of Stone Cold Steve Austin. Before Graham's book, i'd never previously read, or heard of a scenario where Graham suggested to big Vince that he be turned face. That sounds like something Graham's biggest dickrider, Meltzer, would push as legit.
Agreed. Rhea vs Vaquer is the match for Mania. I think the safest way to go now is to put the belt on back on IYO by beating Vaquer in Paris (I know they've avoided a finish between them twice, but the situation may force their hand). Then have Rhea finally beat IYO for the title in Perth (maybe have Asuka cost IYO so it builds that feud). Long term, it would also be a way to set up a Vaquer vs IYO feud after Mania since IYO can say she has that previous win over the new champion.
To be fair, I do have a shrine dedicated to him in my basement. I wouldn't say I worship him, it's more like a living scrapbook that I masturbate to.
She's married to Jimmy Uso, right? The one not doing shit right now while his brother and wife are in main event spots? I bet he knocked her up out of spite to keep her from becoming a bigger name than him (even though she probably already is). Might as well name that kid Fukyu B'ch Uso.
Did Jake Lee get isekai'd? He was supposed to be the guy who could carry the company and disappeared last year.
She's almost 40 and has previously talked about wanting to have a kid after this run, they probably have been trying for a while now so good for them. As far as booking goes, the only person who would benefit from winning against naomi for the belt is jade and I just don't think she has it, so good for naomi, she's going out hot, I personally would prefer that over fizzling out or a quick title change that means nothing.
Didn't realized he wrestled. His guitar is nice on Bark At the Moon
Naomi revealed she had an oophorectomy, removal of her right ovary, way back before her debut in WWE. Then she had a myomectomy, the removal of fibroids, in 2020. With this new information, the-soon-to-be parents are likely feeling blessed.
There's an old series of movies about a famous mexican wrestler "El Santo" wrestling against creatures like vampires, or aliens.
Bron and Bronson getting to show some personality has been a big boost to the group. Bron has really embraced being a Steiner and Bronson having the shoe stealing gimmick with Roman is fun. When they were just standing around while Rollins was cutting a promo, it was pretty boring. The Vision is still a serious heel faction, but throwing in some humor goes a long way toward making them much more tolerable when they're all over the show.
