Go figure.

Do you think Vince just has whole rooms of Roman Reigns merch?

In all seriousness while I think Damien is just getting more popularity because he's being exposed a bit more, I disagree that Cody hasn't shown anything new. As someone who thought he was just okay before hand and started liking him during his Intercontinental title run (After his mask was destroyed. Dr.Doom Cody was eh) Id say hes showing a lot more and I'm enjoying him more overall.

Sandow is getting more popular because, like every former wwe star on the indy scene, his entire gimmick is to go "fuck wwe" and it drives everyone wild.

Possible, even if it sounds ridiculous at first. I don´t know which shipping and housing system WWE uses but as far as I know it here, goods are packaged into A, B and C grades. A´s are your best stuff with the best effort/win balance, they have to leave house as soon as possible. B´s are soso graded stuff, and C is complimentary stuff like screws in boxes with thousands of screws in them.

I would be surprised if WWE could make their stuff just in time as they don´t make for example windscrew wipers with a guaranteed number of products leaving house to the same customer every day. Leftovers from stuff they could not sell when they came out are maybe a big part of their logistics and travel around the globe until someone has mercy and buys the "Vintage John Cena spinner belt!" from 2013 or something like that.
And that could actually work. Some years ago, the battletech corporation lost at court against the company they blatantly, piece by piece and even too lazy to use other call signs on the mechs, stole the design of at least the Warhammer, Marauder, Phoenixhawk, Shadowhawk and Rifleman from. So they could basically not produce Classic Battletech asnymore, and prices skyrockted for these mechs(150+ dollars for a 10 dollar piece) on Ebay until they brought out the new, slightly less stolen series.^^

There's rumors that HHH isn't happy with Vince right now, because of the way NXT stars are treated and booked once they move up to Raw/Smackdown.

Thoughts?

I don't take too much into rumors, that being said I could believe it. There's no doubt he likes most of them and works to help them shine as stars on NXt, I think anyone would be annoyed at how some get treated once they get called up.

Bo Dallas: A nearly complete desaster, Undercard Jobber.
Curtis Axel: a little bit of fame, irrelevant today.
The 4 horsewoman: Bayley is a little girl, Sasha dances, Becky is second fidle for life. Charlotte did best from them because she´s genetically superior.^^
Ascencion: The team to job for other jobbers like Breezango.
American Alpha: Not even on SD lately.
Breezango: A little bit less unsuccessfull than Ascencion.
Sami Zayn: Jobber to the stars at best.
Neville: A total bomb outside of 205.
Apollo Crews: See Neville. How you can not push Apollo Crews when he has a manager that talks for him is beyond me.
Finn Balor: Not even on RAW lately.
Shinsuke Nakamura: Don´t know.
Baron Corbin: Upper midcarder.
Samoa Joe: Upper midcarder/ main event guy.
Kevin Owens: Midcard champion with occasional run in the main event. Did fairly well.
Seth Rollins: The shield,. multiple times champion. No complaints here from my side.

I can see how you can be mad about how the vast majority of them is used.

If they ever bring Bobby ROOOOO into RAW or SD, I demand him to be absolutely glorious!^^

Rumor has it lately that maybe Goldberg returns to main event Summer Splash with Reigns. I can´t even say how boring and lame that already sounds in my ears even when it is just a rumor. Although would still watch if Goldberg only comes back if he goes over with a spear after a one minute match.^^

A Fathers Day Message from Rusev:

Welp, WWE just pissed off every single feminist ever

How can you not love this tag match right now?


Hell of a tag match, and while I'm not a huge fan of the count out finish, i get that its to set up a rematch, for Smack You Down or perhaps Summery Dummery Slam
