Think was in bad taste
 
Sooo Bliss vs Eva on PPV. That's certainly generating some buzz. Good or bad, I'll let you decide.
 
I think its bad buzz. Eva is just meh and doudrop needs to turn on her
Well I don't think Eva is going to put on a technical masterpiece of a match and cleanly beat Bliss, or that the WWE has confidence in her as a champ.
So I can't see any other result than Dewey messes up her interference, allowing Bliss to win, Eva berates her and possible face turn.
 
Thoughts on summerslam guys?

Loved that Becky returned but the squash match wasn't needed

Becky was looking a bit heelish blasting Bianca in the head after that half-handshake. Let’s see what they have to say about it in Smackdown.

Was good watching Lashley beat Goldberg until he couldn’t get up.

Roman putting Cena away clean was good too.
 
The squash was dumb. Sorry, I can't be convinced otherwise.

They pulled a great potential match in Banks vs Belair (I would have loved to have seen another whip), brought in Carmella (underrated), bait/switch her with Becky and....?
WTF? While I think Bianca should have had a little longer of a run, there's no way she deserved to drop the title like that.

Also, now that the Eva/Dewey split is in high gear, once it's done, what are they going to do with Eva?

Brian Alvarez was speculating about Sasha being "cleared". Bianca still got screwed though. I hope she is credited for being a good employee and she gets rewarded in the future. She was still screwed though. I wonder how her husband feels.
 
Why is wrestling still gender divided?
Considering how trending intergender wrestling is in the indie circuit (look up some matches on YouTube), I still don't understand why it's not more accepted by big promotions like WWE or AEW, you know, not counting the few one-off match here and there. I know some Japanese promotions have dipped into intergender wrestling, even Lucha Underground (RIP). I was hoping they would spice things up, you know? I was kinda hoping to see an intergender match for Summerslam this year, or probably even a mixed Royal Rumble. Some wrestlers had even voiced their opinions on intergender wrestling, such as Charlotte Flair and Shayna Baszler, one of whom also talked about wanting a shot at a man's title. If they have the gall to through with it, they could work the intergender angle into storylines and feuds. I'd recommend checking out these videos as well:
 
AEW Women's inaugural champ Riho started when she was 9 and wrestled multiple men as well.

But if I95 really wants his intergender fix, he can go to Evolved Fights.
 
Love that cover!

I remember when in WWE punk insisted on using non-WWE music for his theme. Pretty brilliant move which is paying off dividends now.

Corey Glover still sounds great too. Nice piece of business for Living Color and Punk. Maybe they should collaborate for a McDonald's Meal now. Gotta have Pepsi though. Probably be some sorta Chicken Sandwich deal. Hold any and all bitter sauce please.
 
Anyone else watching "Heels"?

I'm loving the writing; it seems pretty realistic & consistent with how I would imagine wrestlers talk outside of the ring. Sort of like Young Rock, but much, much darker.
