Just read that on Smackdown a women was booed for singing India's national anthem.
I've stopped watching WWE and I can say that making a POC a bad guy simply because he is proud of his country (despite being Canadian) is a big reason why.
It's gross and in the current climate the US lives kinda dangerous too.
The whole "you can't be proud of your country if it isn't the US" is gross. Just gross.

Apparently HHH is saying NTX is 'firing on all cylinders' and 're-invigerated' which I think is a bit of a stretch

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I suspect you will get upset at this answer, but it's because they have minimum production values and they don't actually want house shows to be part of the material you can watch.
lol i completely forgot about Rock's obnoxious R shirt

You should feel bad if you want Daniel Bryan to compete at G-1 (particularly G-1).
The same way you should feel bad if you're cool with Shibata coming back. And from his comments yesterday he sounds like he is definitely coming back.

Mid 2018 I think.

He's way worse than Reigns because at least Reigns can switch between heeling it up and being a smartass babyface (even if the crowd refuses to buy it) on demand.
Jinder just says "fuck America" every single time. Even against a non-American opponent whose English is just passable enough to be on the mic.

Bryan might supposedly have this plan for safer wrestling but if he goes to Japan I highly doubt everyone he fights will be like cool cool let's just be 100% safe.
Edit: Remember Jinder saying he has creative control when his character does the same promo every week? Maybe he requested wearing the suits.

I think the theory he's going to Japan is just made up anyways; he just had a baby girl. There's plenty of places for him to compete in America, especially if he's not looking to do it regularly.
The idea Jinder has literally any creative control whatsoever is so insanely laughable I don't even know what to say. He might have input, but everything 100% goes through Vince and about 5 other guys before it gets to Jinder.
Don't quash THE CARLO/WARFARE AFFAIR! Not after serenewarfare posted doctored photos of himself with Miss Excelsiorlef!
From the mind of 71 year old Vince McMahon.
I went on this rant yesterday, its fine if you ignore it but don't pull a Meltzer and praise this year as the greatest year of wrestling while complaining about wrestler injuries.

I'm not sure what you're getting at: I don't even watch NJPW, I just know enough about it via osmosis.
Nah it is true, they have a lot of good things going on especially compared to what it used to be a year ago when they only had Revival to keep them afloat
Of course some of the writing/booking is still bad but the product is enjoyable.
I'm fine with people watching NJPW, I'm fine with people saying its the greatest year of wrestling, but when the wrestlers are constantly trying to oneup themselves, you can't complain about them being unsafe (its my pet peeve with Meltzer).

I think they are in a round-about way. I do not think Vince thinks he can retain interest in the division without Becky or Charlotte in the mix, but I think he wants a heel to get the title while keeping the case around for a while.
What a weird thing to get upset about.
Some of you can't survive as a fan with out finding the most random details to shit on Meltzer for.

The way it looks does look like Jinder was fumbling to try and get his foot on the rope. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Either Corbin's buried to fuck, or this is actually part of the story.

There's no reason that should matter, even assuming it was intended to be dirty (I highly doubt it, they're usually much more obvious about things like that when they are intentional). There's nothing to prevent you from straight up running away in a MITB match and getting counted out. It's not any different than any other dirty win.
It looks far more like Jinder legitimately lost his footing. If the idea was to sell this as a dirty win, you're talking Dana Brooke levels of incompetence. I don't think it was intended to be a disputed finish.
It's SummerSlam. You're supposed to put your top talent on the card.

Shibata is on another level of fucked up.
Dammit, here I thought I was getting my spotlight.

There's only so many multi-man matches you can actually run.
I mean, I don't disagree but I think its a very tough sell to argue Becky Lynch or Charlotte are anything close to being not-over or buried (even when Becky takes clean losses, but Natalya has almost no credibility so I don't really have a problem with that). It's mostly just a numbers game that 85% of the roster are male wrestlers.

Get out Beefy.. get out now
Keep the pressure on! Sephzilla will do the right thing!
Literally no one cares about Naomi vs Natalya. It is bad booking.
Iunno, its because i'm a huge football fan, but I'm just kinda feeling guilty for watching a sport where wrestlers/players are consistently cutting their lives short. Not calling anybody out here, I just think Meltzer is very guilty of playing both sides.
Giving Naomi the title at Wrestlemania was a huge mistake.

Brie was on the most recent episode (ep 10) of the From The Top Rope podcast. Highlight: Brie has given Bryan the green light to return to the wrestling ring.
Direct quote from her: 'If WWE doesn't allow it then go somewhere else'
ed: I see it's already been discussed. One time Internet's out and I'm late :<

Yeah, not sure why people are making Shibata jokes or acting like Shibata is rushing back.
His backstage interview :
Well if you ask if Im okay, then I dont know how to answer. But Im alive. After that match, I was on my way going back to the dressing room, when I fell. Today, I could stood up on my own feet. Im looking ahead. I know that it will take much time, but Ill do the best that I can; I will fight for it. Thats all that I can say now. But I will keep trying to see you guys again in a better condition. Thats it. Thank you.
Everyone is so quick to try and stir shit up, when there is nothing there.
Bryan? Who knows.
It is their word against his, I do not see why they would leave money on the table when he would be a huge plus to have active.
So I kind of am inclined to believe WWE.
If he wants to run and put it on the line, New Japan may not be the best place for him.
