a) Her matches with Charlotte on RAW & SummerSlam, the Triple Threat at CoC, her two matches with Bayley last year completely null this point. 

b) That hard slap across Charlotte's chest, RIGHT before delivering that double knee through the chair sure looked real painful to me. Also, if you're being powerbombed from the side of cage through an announce table, that's lots of momentum being carried, it'd have been more shocking if it DIDN'T break.

c) Because Sasha connected w/ the fans & got over on her own while Roman hasn't connected & has been shoved down our throats? 

d) So that's why everyone chanted WE WANT SASHA in her mixed tag team match while Roman was in the ring a few weeks ago on RAW? That tells me that the fans find her matches, character, and storyline far more interesting than Roman, who has put on a snoozefest with Rusev these past months.

e) How in God's name is paying homage, respect, and tribute to her hero and greatest inspiration a wanna-be-gimmick or destroying his legacy? First off, her Legit Boss gimmick is NOTHING like Eddie's Latino Heat/Lie, Cheat, Steal gimmick. I fail to see the similarities there.
As far as paying homage goes that is ADDING and BUILDING upon Eddie's legacy and passing it down to future generations so that our kids and grandkids 20-40 years from now will all know the name, man, and career of Eddie Guerrero. 

f) That legacy was destroyed when they made it a gimmick PPV + PG environment, effectively killing most of the awe and appeal of Hell in a Cell.

g) So that's why they looked utterly terrified when the Cell was being lowered, to the point where Charlotte was screaming for the match to be called off & be awarded the title, just so she didn't have to compete inside it? Or how about that promo on RAW where Mick Foley was detailing just how dangerous it can be, to the point where you could see in Charlotte and Sasha's faces "What the Hell did I just get myself into?" Sasha was even hesitant to sign the contract.

h) This is the one point where I actually agree with you. This feud REALLY should have ended tonight, there was no reason to extend it beyond this point, it was the perfect way to end it. Instead, we've got around 1-2 months more of this where they'll be playing Hot Potato with the title, taking its prestige in the process and running their feud into the ground. Booking Team strikes again!

i) They got the main event because they deserved it! It was Sasha's hometown. They were the most hyped, talked about, and important match to the fans going into the main event. The ONLY reason why people gave a crap about Rollins vs. Owens is because of Jericho. When a List of Peoples' names is more over than the title itself, that's not a good thing. And nobody gave a crap about Roman vs. Rusev, it was just a poor man's version of Rollins/Owens, they did just as bad of a job making the U.S. title important, but there was no Jericho or List to save that one. Rollins/Owens, I agree, was better, it was the match of the night, (which ALSO involved Jericho) . Reigns/Rusev was the best match those 2 have had together, but it was still, "Meh, it's alright."

Anybody want to play a drinking game?
Take a shot every time you hear:
- Charlotte call herself the Queen or Genetically Superior.
- Sasha call herself the Boss or make a little girl speech.
- Alexa Bliss make Disney references.
You will be dead by the time we get to Survivor Series!



She's a huge Disney fan and she does it in almost every one of her promos.

Look's like we'll be getting a Women's Wrestling Classic in the near future! Nice!

Interesting, they also announced another cruiserweight classic so I'm assuming the Raw Cruiserweight division is deaad!???!

I think its the appeal of the format. Wrestlers going tournament style is always more entertaining then just having a division that gets taken over by whoever management decides to put over. I think it should be a annual thing myself.



Around the Network

I went to an AAW show last night (they are a Chicago pro wrestling organization). There I met Broken Matt Hardy and what a glorious human being he is. He told me to eat my green beans. Never broke character once. What that guy is doing is more entertaining than EVERYTHING going on in WWE in my opinion.

Strowman is reminding me of Snitzky and Mike Knox... that's not good. I think he's going to be let go in a year or so. I like the ring posts now.



God Lesnar got lazy. Goldberg's in a lot better shape

He's improving a lot tbh. Just wonder if they know what to do with him and if they've debuted him too early. He probably shouldn't have been on TV for another year or so.



Yeah, that was a pretty good show, I will say. Now I'm expected the SmackDown guys to stand tall tomorrow to even the score.
