I think it is true, even if they do a better job of setting up other feuds. It's one of those divisions where either Becky is the champion or people are asking why Becky isn't the champion.

Again disagree, the title program between Bliss and Naomi was over completely fine all on it's own and so will Bliss/Nattie if they go that way.
They went back to Bliss over Becky when Naomi went down....
It is not Becky and the chumps.
Becky had an entire feud that wasn't about the title...

I saw Sami was in it, right? I decided to skip it.

I'm pretty sure that's because they want Becky to get the Wrestlemania win. Even when Naomi was champ for a week or two the whole thing screamed it ended with Becky getting the belt back.
excelsiorlef

Maybe, depends on Naomi's status...
They've also been teasing something with Bliss and Nattie so we'll see.
Nah, Becky is a victim of her own success somewhat. She's over with or without the belt and so they don't feel bad about beating her like she's the female Sami Zayn.

No way Naomi was absolutely the feel good story going into Mania... She'd likely have retained there.
That's actually pretty accurate... she's a bit more successful than Zayn mind you.

That Natalya thing just makes me think fatal four way at Wrestlemania instead of a triple threat between Mickie, Alexa and Becky.
I think WWE just wanted a champ from Florida walking in as champ given they mentioned it a billion times during the feud. Becky winning at Wrestlemania makes more sense given her continuously being screwed out from the belt.
Becky won her last ppv match, when was the last time Zayn did?

Yes, the KING makes fun of him during most of the episode
They botched, quite frankly, the easiest story they could have possibly told with Bayley and Charlotte.
It's really quite amazing when you think about it.
BewareTheBatsie
Member
That was the only singles one on one PPV match she ever won.
True (I think the reason pretty much every heel that needs to be established goes for a Becky beatdown is because she's over enough that it gets them automatic heat), but regardless of her booking it's very clear she's meant to be viewed as the number one woman on Smackdown.

Considering how they had to be dragged kicking and screaming into Daniel Bryan winning at 30, I almost think this is Vince's revenge.
Bluekaveli

Vince probably saw this and pointed out the fact that hobbit boy roasted him the entire time tells you why we can't make him a top player
WWE botching slam dunk storylines? No way.
> CM Punk storyline
> Daniel Bryan's WM30 journey was only saved by last second adjustments
> Not booking Bryan vs Brock at WM31
> Botching everything regarding Bayley

I wonder how much of that was due to health concerns.

She would've lost the title, but Peyton and Billie took out Nikki for more than half of the fatal-four way, which certainly leaves the door open for Asuka most likely losing the belt on another multi woman match.
I'm no motherfucker. You're the motherfucker!

You guys see the headbutt spot with Ziggler at 31? The lengths Bryan would have gone to with Brock (who at 31 had a pure stiff-fest with Roman and likely would have done the same to Bryan) would have had his career probably end right there.
excelsiorlef

I fully believe it'll be Ember Moon vs Asuka one on one in Orlando.... where one undefeated wrestler is replaced by another. Which is too bad because they teased more Cross/Asuka with the finish at Takeover and Cross just smiling at Asuka from the wrecked announcer's table but nothing really came of it.
Or his life lol

Bryan specifically said around that time that he doesn't think they'd let him wrestle Brock because they'd be afraid Brock would kill him in the ring.

No fuck you motherfucker. Who do you fucking think I am?
excelsiorlef

And he probably would have.
Because Bryan is heart over brains
And Lesnar just doesn't give a flying fuck.
Biggest-Geek-Ever
Member
But it would have been an amazing match!
More seriously though, it doesn't grind my gears that they didn't book Bryan/Lesnar at 31. What does is that they brought Bryan back for the rumble with no intention of having him win.

DB should be wrestling, this is ludicrous.
excelsiorlef
Member
Yeah that was idiotic... I get that they were afraid of repeating the crowd reaction to the Rumble before that but putting him in was almost worse and dropping him out so early was just... why?
What?
I like Bryan being alive.
BewareTheBatsie
Member
He's...about to...cut a promo where...he talks very slowly...with...a dead look in his eyes...because he thinks...that's how...heels cut...an...intense...promo.
How the fuck did Ziggler manage to find a worse promo style then screaming every word until he's red in the face about how this is his last shot and he can't get anymore after this?

Fuck, even just plain botching the Punk storyline would have been better than where shit went
How the hell do you go from Cena/Punk to HHH/Nash: Sledgehammer on a Pole. Oh wait, HHH.
They let Daniel Bryan work a much more dangerous match that same night
Motherfucker on a pole match.
excelsiorlef
Member
I don't believe that for a second.
Now it's possible that even if he was completely not a health risk they still might not have done it but I fully believe they were worried about what might happen to Bryan's health
I want to at some point. Just got so much other shit.

I dunno, when you're having fucking seizures from all the concussions you've had, you probably shouldn't be wrestling.
Better than Batista's

Did he other than those headbutts have any huge ladder bumps in that match... I haven't watched it in ages...
It's easier to ptect him in a multi man spot fest than a 20-30 match with Lesnar.

If Sasha is going to become a heel she has a mountain to climb for mic work

It's possibly she struggles on the mic because she has to do face material...

he was having seizures?

Oh shit I forgot that was today... I kinda would love if Miz causes Cena to get pinned by Ellsworth... won't happen but I love it.
Yeah!
Yes, and he tried to hide it from management
